This fall will see unprecedented challenge on college campuses. Institutions will weather issues from enrollment declines to political unrest to mental health and wellness challenges to worries about AI and the future of work. Undergrads are managing high stress levels, and so are the faculty and staff who are holding them up against these undeniable odds.
Coaching is a skill that can help to ground people during tempestuous times. Everything that coaching can foster – agency, accountability, self-efficacy, perspective, self-knowledge, and more – helps to center and empower those who are fortunate enough to receive coaching. The coaching role in higher education is growing as institutions are seeing how coaching impacts student performance, persistence, and sense of belonging.
Especially in these times of turmoil, serving students requires an enormous outlay of energy and focus. Coaches, faculty, and staff need to show up for themselves so that they can assist and strengthen students in their care. Whether you are new to a position in education or a seasoned professional who wants to sharpen your skills, LifeBound trainings will resource you for what's ahead. Join the August Coaching class and the Fall Certification Course to prepare for the choppy waters, and help yourself and those around you weather any storm that comes your way.
