Abstract:
This session introduces Academic Success Coaching as a personalized, one-on-one support service that uses reflective conversations to promote student growth. Drawing on their experience as certified academic life coaches, the presenters explore how academic advisers can incorporate coaching-informed techniques, such as powerful questioning, goal setting and action planning, accountability, and reflection, into everyday advising conversations to empower students to take ownership of their academic journey.
Recognizing that advising and coaching can sometimes occupy overlapping spaces, the presenters also discuss how they have intentionally built a collaborative, student-centered partnership that leverages the strengths of both approaches to better support student growth and success. Through shared advising scenarios, participants will explore how coaching techniques can be applied in common advising contexts and will have the opportunity to practice these skills in an interactive and engaging format.
