Our Approach

Using a mix of philosophical and psychological lenses and grounded in a strategic framework, students dialogue with our coach to understand their behavior, approach to work, self-perception and worldview, as well as what drives and motivates them. Through coaching work, thinking is heightened, skills are gained to better manage stress and anxiety, academic performance is improved, and the discovery of the self is prioritized. During meetings, in addition to dialogue, students review their week, prepare for the upcoming month, receive academic planning, and create goals and adjustments to work toward.
