Strategic Coaching

The objective of this 5-week course is to provide students an opportunity to become “goal experts”.  Students will learn coaching techniques that help people identify their strategic “life”, create effective goals, create motivation for change, and a plan of action. Effective goals are more than just thinking or stating a “wish” out loud but actually taking a pen and paper and beginning the process. Accomplishing a goal must is a process and life goals are bigger than work goals.  Most people NEVER get this memo. Why, because the memo has to come from ourselves.  As a “goal expert” and strategic coach, students will learn how to help people come to the realization that they are the CEO’s of their lives.  As a strategic coach, help them define their own vision and determine the best way to move forward.
