Together, supporting the whole student

Coaching is a one-on-one support model and communication style that is action- and solution-focused. A coach acts in partnership with their coachee, holding space for their self-reflection, goal setting, action planning, and progress monitoring. A coach does not provide solutions or problem solve for the student, but utilizes active listening and powerful questions to support positive, holistic growth that is student-driven. Interested in developing your coaching skills? A day-long, hands-on training is offered quarterly through Staff Development and Professional Services.

Overview

Success Coaching and Learning Strategies helps UC Davis students (undergraduate and graduate) take control of their academic, personal, and professional success through one-on-one support and workshops. Our services incorporate elements of self-assessment, skill building, goal setting, action planning, and progress monitoring. 

Students can meet with a success coach to explore habits, priorities, strategies, values, and challenges that may be impacting their college experience.  With a coach they can learn better ways of making their studying more effective and efficient. Our Success Workshops include time management, academic skills, and goal setting topics.
