LIFEBOUND COACHING IS A SLAM DUNK FOR STUDENT SUCCESS

Coaching strategies support students to build, maintain and drive determination to obtain a college degree, launching to promotion pathway employment after graduation.
 
That’s where LifeBound Inclusive Coaching comes in. Recent news shows the increased need for students to enter the job market with a slam dunk job leading to more earnings and promotion pathways. 

Every graduate deserves this with their degree, but post COVID data from Gallup showed that 43% of students were not in jobs commensurate with their education. After the setbacks of the last year, no college-going graduate can afford to invest in education without a strong link to success in the professional world. 

With LifeBound Inclusive Coaching, you can build that powerful bridge from academia to the world of work, earnings and fulfillment.

Spotlight Interview
Academic Support Specialist
West Virginia State University
Alana Dorsey, M.A.
In the time since your LB coaching training experience, how has coaching influenced you and your work as an educator?
Since completing the 5-day intensive training, the #1 concept that has transformed my academic & success coaching experiences with students has been the implementation of powerful questions. Immediately, I noticed how much the implementation of powerful questions helped make better connections with my students. I was shocked at how much being more intentional with the questions that I asked expanded my students’ thinking and triggered more emotional responses. As a result, this made my job as an academic coach much easier and I built stronger working-relationships with my students. 

How has LB coaching knitted a common fabric in your department? 
All 3 of us within the Office of Retention and Student Success completed two different LB Coaching Workshops: the 5-day intensive training and the crisis coaching. Those experiences absolutely knitted a common fabric within the academic and success coaching that we do every day. A common challenge that college students are facing is a ā€˜lack of motivation.’ Within our office, we work to develop habits of mind to support motivation. In addition, we educate our students a lot about fixed vs. growth mindset and the impact it has on their academic success in college.

In this time of revealed systemic racism, how can LB coaching be a tool to build equity, unite citizens, and restore democracy?
During this time of systematic racism, ā€˜perspective’ is crucial when preparing students for life outside of college. LB Coaching teaches you how to challenge your students and their mindsets, but also your own. You are trained how to leverage different points of view for opportunity, how to call forth different personal attitudes and mindsets, and how to inspire action through perspective.
