Coaching Supports Your Well-being & Academic Success
We believe that all students are capable of developing the capacity to be successful learners. Students who are interested in taking action towards enhancing their resilience and well-being and achieving their academic goals are encouraged meet with our Success Coach. Students who have been coached report feeling more confident and calm and take action to achieve their aspirations.
Rising to the Challenge of Uncertainty
We are all currently being challenged to shift into remote learning and working with the new current reality. A whole-person approach is taken in coaching through this Success Coaching and does include developing self-regulation in learning. However, during these trying times, the following desires for yourself might be most important right now:
- You want to learn how to maintain inner calm and confidence when faced with challenging circumstances
- You want to develop lifelong strategies for self-compassion and acceptance
- You are looking for ways to improve your ability to adapt to change, uncertainty, and ambiguity
- Watch this Video to learn how to book an appointment with the Success Coach.
- Success Coaching Appointments are all virtual via phone or web-video conference (zoom) during this time of "social distancing".
- You can self-book an appointment on-line and then simply click the "join zoom room" button at your appointment time.
Collaborate to gain support for personal & professional development and improving self-regulation of learning, well-being and success.

Workshops
If you elect to start with a workshop, research would strongly suggest you engage in follow-up coaching conversations in order to put the new knowledge and skills learned in the workshop into practice.
