Professional Coaching

Coaching for Faculty is a transformative process that engages faculty in an accountable partnership.

This partnership facilitates growth and fulfillment in their professional and personal lives through the identification of who they want to be, the ownership of challenges, and the creation of meaningful action plans for success.

What does coaching look like?

A coaching session is designed to ask questions that create space for self-reflection that will turn into action to help you achieve your goals in both your professional and personal life.

Examples of coaching topics:

  • Accountability
  • Commitment
  • Communicating 
  • Focus
  • Goal setting and prioritization
  • Handling Conflict
  • Leadership
  • Negotiation 
  • Organization
  • Self Confidence
  • Self Efficacy
  • Social Engagement 
  • Time Management
  • Work-Life Balance

What is the time commitment?

Individual coaching sessions are set up at a mutually agreeable time usually virtually between the coach and the client. Typical sessions last one hour and occur monthly for four or more sessions although this can vary by client and need.

What are my responsibilities?

To come to the sessions ready to work with your coach openly, to fill out pre and post coaching service data survey, and to be open to discovering your best self.

Is information shared in coaching sessions confidential?

All coaching session information will be kept confidential and will not be shared with anyone. If there are concerns for your safety or the safety of others or if you share information about sexual misconduct that requires reporting under Title IX, these will be reported as required by university policy. Pre and post survey data will be kept de-identified for program evaluation assessment and to study the effects of coaching on faculty well-being.

What other options are there for coaching?

Group coaching can help teams work more effectively together, understand how to leverage their strengths of their team members, and overcome challenges.
