Whether your semester has ended or is still winding down, you may be finding more breathing room in your days, perhaps for the first time in a while. Consider taking the opportunity to reflect on how you've grown as a coach this year and what you have done well. Ask yourself:
- What have I done exceptionally well this year? What are a couple of stories that illustrate this?
- How have I changed my coaching practice this year for the better, and what is an example that shows the change?
The holidays and the New Year offer an opportunity to consider how you want to grow in the year ahead. We’re excited to announce that LifeBound now offers a new Self-Paced Inclusive Coaching Success Course, designed by academic coaches for academic coaches, which includes sessions with a LifeBound Coach to demonstrate your skills once you complete the self-guided modules. This course explores areas such as motivation, resilience, cultural competence, career readiness, and coaching unique student populations in ways that are approachable for today’s modern challenges- all on your time clock.
If you’re onboarding new staff, planning professional development budgets, looking to direct funds toward impactful training, or establishing a campus-wide culture of coaching during a time of widespread mental health needs, keep in mind that LifeBound offers group and institutional rates for the self-paced course. It's an effective investment in growing your team’s coaching expertise so that they can better prepare students for long-term success. Sign up today or share this opportunity with your colleagues and directors.
LifeBound also offers a January option for the three-day synchronous training via Zoom — January 6, 8, and 10 — a great opportunity for professional development during the quieter time between semesters. Finally, there are still a few spots open in the Spring 2025 LifeBound Certification cohort, for coaches who have completed either the 3-day training or the asynchronous course. Registration for the cohort will close in mid-January.
From all of us at LifeBound, have a happy holiday season with rest, ease, flow and joy!
