Empowering the Next Generation

Hello, my name is Jamie Salgado. I am an ICF Certified Life Coach and the founder of Inspired Mind Coaching. I feel so happy you are exploring coaching to achieve what you want for yourself or for your child.

​

I mainly work with teens and young adults (usually between the ages of 15 and 25) who are trying to figure out who they are, what they want, and how to build the kind of confidence that doesn't crack under pressure. My focus is simple: help young people understand their core values, strengthen their self-esteem, and step into life with clarity instead of comparison or pressure.

​

Before coaching, I spent 15 years in human resources and administration at places like Stanford University, UC San Diego, and a number of fast-moving tech and biotech startups. I learned a lot about people in those years — what drives them, what holds them back, and how often talented individuals stall out simply because no one ever helped them get to know themselves.

Then I became a mom. Raising my two sons (now 18 and 20) alongside 34 years of marriage taught me lessons no textbook ever could. I watched my boys and their friends navigate a world that pulls young people in a hundred directions at once, and I saw how much they needed someone in their corner who wasn't a parent, a teacher, or a peer — someone trained to listen, ask the right questions, and help them find their own answers. That is why I built Inspired Mind Coaching.

After completing a rigorous ICF certification program along with decades of personal growth work, I'm here to offer young people the tools I wish more of us had earlier: how to know yourself, trust yourself, and create a life that feels happy and fulfilling.

​

True happiness is built from within. I'd love to help you, or the young person in your life, get started. Please take the first step by contacting me for a free 30 minute consultation. Parents are welcome to join the initial consultation and ask any questions they may have about the coaching journey.
