Prepare for Your Appointment

Coaching sessions are tailored to meet individual needs and goals. For the best results, it is recommended that you:

  1. Prep before your session

    Give some thought to what roadblocks you may be facing, your primary concerns, and what you hope to accomplish during your coaching session

  2. Be an active participant

    It may be helpful to bring your calendar and class materials such as textbooks, notes, or your syllabus with you to the session.
