OBGE PhD Student Wellness and Professional Development Coaching is about the whole person: your values, goals, work, balance, fulfillment, and life purpose. Any concern that gets in the way of achieving optimal well-being is the perfect subject for beginning coaching (for example: stress, exercise, rest, communication, relationships, writing your thesis, career planning, physical space, professional development). Coaching effectively motivates and supports goals through a structured partnership between the student and the coach. The coach helps the individual develop and realize their optimal vision through inquiry, personal discovery, and accountability. Many students have said it helps just to be able to talk things through.
Expected outcomes of a coaching session include:
- Clear understanding of your goals and values
- Motivation to support behavior change
- Strategies for moving toward your goals
