Brief coaching is a service Organizational Effectiveness provides to facilitate supervisors, managers, and directors on campus in identifying a path forward on a leadership issue, and resources that can support that journey.

Preparation: To optimize this short coaching, we recommend coming prepared to the session having reflected upon, and being prepared to share with the coach:

  • What do I want to be different in this workplace situation and the work relationships involved?
  • What am I doing to contribute that may have both positive, and maybe unintended, impact?
  • What would I like to do instead? What do I need in order to start, continue, or stop doing?

Coaching is about helping you identify ways to support changes in how you see a situation, choices and approaches you could make, and encouragement for how to begin. Referrals can be made to self-guided learning, group programming, and providers such as HR Representatives, confidential campus resources, and coaches that contract for extended leadership coaching.
