Our Services
The Office of Strategic Consulting offers leadership coaching as an effective and meaningful way for leaders across campus to grow and develop. A leadership coach is a confidential resource who helps you identify goals and create action steps that will take you from where you are to where you want to be.
Our leadership coaching services are designed for all campus leaders, including associate deans, directors, department chairs, medical directors, and new and emerging leaders.
Personalized to Your Needs
Campus leaders who work with one of our certified professional coaches will have a highly personalized experience, tailored to their unique needs and goals. Identifying these needs and goals is the first step in the coaching process.
What Our Coaching Clients Are Saying
I highly recommend a coach for any person in a leadership position if they request it. The meetings have assisted me in prioritizing the many tasks as an Associate Dean, seeing the value in the time committed to the process, and understanding the importance of what I can and cannot do.
Great resource for a leader at any level.
