The concept of coaching has become an important practice within higher education institutions. Coaching techniques are being used at all levels from student development and advising to employee and leadership professional development. This heterogeneity presents a multifaceted client base for coaching.
The Publication Team of the Higher Education Coaches Special Interest Group (HEC-SIG), based out of the ICF Raleigh Area Chapter, is focused on understanding how coaching is used across three specific focus areas:
- Faculty and Administration,
- Graduate Students and Post-Doctoral Trainees, and
- Undergraduate Students.
In 2021, we published a white paper that laid the groundwork for our understanding of how the role of coaching is impacting higher education.
In this program we will present an overview of how the role of coaching is impacting higher education and facilitate discussions using a SWOT analysis framework to explore coaching for the three focus areas and the stakeholders (the institutions themselves) in higher education. We will be guided by exploration of the following questions:
- What are the best practices of coaching in this arena?
- What are the obstacles to coaching in this arena?
- What are the opportunities for coaching in this arena?
- What are the threats to coaching in this arena?
Join the HEC-SIG publication team co-lead by Speaker Kelli Hendrickson for a presentation and facilitated discussion about the impact of coaching on Higher Education around our white paper “How the Role of Coaching is Impacting Higher Education”. Kelli’s path to coaching began as a Research Engineer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It was in her role as a mentor and advisor that she noticed a need and desire for coaching for professional growth in her colleagues and students and began her coaching journey in 2019. She uses her coaching to help women with STEM PhDs that have become disillusioned create more Success, Time, Energy and Meaning in their careers.
