Value of Coaching
What is Coaching?
According to the Harvard Institute of Coaching, "coaching is an interpersonal process that helps people achieve positive change and growth. By harnessing innate strengths, uncovering intrinsic motivations, and asking empowering questions, coaching fosters self-generated insight, vision, and goal clarity."
Value of Coaching
Based on that definition, who wouldn't want coaching? But, seriously, the value of coaching is that it provides a way forward to meet new targets and goals, both personally and professionally. Given that you all have chosen to add a graduate degree program to your already busy lives, coaching can further enhance your expected outcomes.
Assessments
Not sure which type of coaching fits where you are in your work and/or life journey? Then, it might make sense to start with an assessment!
Values-based assessment tools offer insights into your optimal work environment, signature strengths and potential blindspots, and key phrasing that can help you articulate who you authentically are (remember you are the brand you are selling in your career journey).
Here are some assessments that we recommend based on positive feedback from other students/alumni ($ indicates a fee to complete the test):
- High5Test
- VIA Survey of Character Strength
- CliftonStrengths ($)
- Positive Intelligence Saboteur Test
