What is the Decision Bar?

The Decision Bar is a consulting space dedicated to the empowerment of young adults. Supporting them, their parents and organizations to make intentional, impactful decisions. The Decision Bar offers individualized life coaching as well as nonprofit support services to enhance the well-being and development of staff and youth.

At The Decision Bar, we believe that every decision is an opportunity to create the life (or the organizational culture) you envision. Our offerings go beyond personal coaching. We collaborate with nonprofits and organizations to develop tailored curriculums, facilitate wellness retreats and lead transformative workshops. Our goal is to provide the tools, support and guidance necessary for both individuals and teams to make empowered choices that foster growth, well being, and long term success.

For young adults we offer a safe, judgment-free space to explore career paths, build confidence, and set achievable goals. For adults who support teens we offer tools, resources and guidance to foster healthy connections and boundaries. For nonprofits and organizations, we deliver customized experiences-whether through staff wellness retreats that rejuvenate and build team cohesion or through curriculum-building session that target youth development and mental health.

The Decision Bar is here to help individuals and organizations show up as their best selves, make decisions aligned with their values, and shape futures rooted in purpose, clarity, and resilience. Whether you’re seeking personal growth or organizational transformation, we’re your partner in making meaningful, lasting change.
