The Office for Faculty can sponsor a limited number of coaching engagements for faculty members in the School of Medicine. Coaching packages may include a 360 assessment. To be eligible, faculty must be regular rank in good standing, with a primary appointment in a School of Medicine department. Coaching and assessments will be provided by Pilgrimage Professional Development Group, and the costs will be covered by the Office for Faculty.
Coaching is available as follows:
Option A: For early career instructors and assistant professors: Two 1:1 sessions with an executive coach on the topic of your choosing.
Option B: For mid-senior career associate and full professors: A 360 assessment and two 1:1 executive coaching sessions focused on using the feedback to create a development plan.
Both packages are intended to be developmental and are not suitable for performance-related concerns. A limited number of each package is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
To request a coaching engagement, contact jessica.schonberg@duke.edu with your name, department, package request, and a brief explanation of why you want to pursue coaching (250 words max).
