Are you looking for additional support in achieving your goals? Do you need a resource to help with performance improvement or behavior change? Would collaboration with another help you gain more focus and clarity? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then coaching may be the solution for you, and it’s now an additional professional development resource available to GT faculty and staff members.

Coaching is a powerful practice that is solution-focused on future performance and achievement. Through one-on-one sessions, a coach will support a coachee as they explore the coachee’s self-identified goals. The coach serves as a guide to help the coaches identify the actions necessary to achieve their goals and pushes them outside their typical comfort zone through a structured coaching process.
