Faculty of Art
Struggling to manage the academic work load and work/life balance? Do procrastination, your inner critic, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, overwhelm, or other challenges common in academic life stop you from getting your work done? Or are you nearing the end of your program and feeling unsure of what career paths to pursue?
Coaching Pilot Program
The Faculty of Arts is offering a pilot program to provide graduate students with trained, confidential, one-on-one coaching support to support your academic performance and professional development. You bring your goals and the topics you want to work on with your coach. Through conversations and inquiry, your coach will work with you to come up with solutions and a course of action.
Coaching is an incredible resource–it holds transformative potential for everyone and enables a journey of self-discovery and growth, providing the tools for individuals to unlock their full potential. It has allowed me to become more observant of negative thought patterns, self-correct ingrained behaviours, and opened up a much more positive outlook on the future. In other words, coaching has helped me help myself
