Coaching for Success
Coaching for Success provides FAS faculty with expert coaching support.
Coaching for Success helps FAS faculty achieve professional goals with the support of coaches. SAL2 has a list of expert external coaches upon which we draw for our coaching recommendations, but faculty are welcome to work with a coach of their own choosing, even if the coach is not on the list.
Coaching for Success supports:
- Transforming and revitalizing an established academic career
- Effectively managing a laboratory or working group
- Goal-setting and research program planning
- Developing leadership skills in conflict resolution, communication, etc.
- Overcoming roadblocks in writing and research
- Developing public speaking skills
- Other professional goals
Faculty Experiences
Participants reflect on the Coaching for Success program
Leadership Coaching
"My coach was instrumental in helping me transition into my leadership role, and her advice was absolutely crucial, especially early in my term. Any success I've had in my leadership role was due in part to the coaching I received early on."
Writing Coaching
"I was able to finish my book during research leave, thanks in part to the coaching sessions funded by the SAL2 program."
Work/Life Balance & Time Management Coaching
"In the midst of many different kinds of work to complete and balance, the work with a coach has helped me set goals, plan their completion, and act on the routines that I have made for myself. "
Professional Development Coaching
"My coach helped me develop skills for managing crucial conversations, navigating my departmental power/political structures, becoming a better manager, and being a more confident professional."
