Your 3 complimentary coaching sessions
Why coaching, and how does it work?
Ensure a successful program with one-on-one mentorship sessions to start you off on the right foot. To make sure that this is an intentional, transformational journey for you, you’ll start off with a series of 3 sessions near the start of your diploma, with the option to add additional coaching sessions as needed. As you start your diploma, we’ll ask you to share your profile, professional challenges, and goals for the program. Based on your answers, we’ll match you with one of our qualified coaches to meet with you at the outset of the program, and then twice more as you progress. In these completely confidential, hour-long sessions, they will help you think through what you need to do to move forward in your life and career. From problem-solving to strengths-finding, they will ensure you get the most out of your Diploma program.
