Office of Faculty Executive Coaching Program

Transform your professional journey through personalized, one-on-one coaching. The Office of Faculty Executive Coaching program offers a proven, structured approach to help you develop critical awareness and enhanced resourcefulness and skills needed to achieve your professional goals. Through powerful questioning and self-reflection, you'll gain fresh insights into your assumptions, perceptions, and behaviors—enabling you to align your time and energy with your core values and aspirations.
Work with a dedicated coach to address your specific needs. During a series of 6 coaching sessions, you may tackle common coaching topics such as leadership development, time management and prioritization, career transitions, work-life integration, and values alignment. Your coach—credentialed by the International Coaching Federation (ICF)—will facilitate reflection and accountability while you problem-solve, develop action plans, and drive meaningful change. Coaches facilitate reflection and accountability and refrain from giving advice. Research demonstrates that coaching reduces burnout and imposter syndrome while increasing productivity, professional satisfaction, and engagement among academic faculty.
Take the next step in your professional development.
