What is My Life Tutors College Coaching anyway?
“I’ve never been good at making a plan. Over the past 8 weeks, I’ve gotten significantly better at planning things and attacking them, actually following through and executing on the plan.” - HP (Client)
If you ask 50 young adults what coaching is, you'll get 50 answers. ‘Coaching,' is the latest buzzword attached to student success. Most people don't know what it means or have a loose association to it through their own experiences to date from athletic coaching. Though that is not the exact correlation, it involves similar systems.
There are lots of benefits to taking on a coach to support your transition into and through college life. The most important one is that it positions the client to be in the driver’s seat and own their accountability for learning and goal attainment. There is no argument that the best thing for students is for learners to own their goals and be responsible for achieving them. That sense of learner agency and accountability as early as possible sets students up for lasting success in their academic, personal and professional goals.
In a nutshell, coaches work with student clients to advance the clients' agenda for success. Coaches are driven by their clients' goals; the client sets the agenda as the north star while the coach supports in creating the road map. Coaches enter each partnership with an open mind. They believe in the client’s vision and support their path towards success as a whole. Coaches are not here to fix their clients. Their entire role is as a facilitator for their client's identified desired outcomes. There is no time like the present. Begin the process today and get matched with a coach!
