Take a Coach Approach Training & Micro-Credential
2-Day Interactive Training
Take a Coach Approach training provides DU faculty and staff with effective coaching strategies to help students overcome setbacks, navigate challenges, and achieve their goals. Coaching centers the student as the expert in their own life and supports the development of accountability and self-management. You will build foundational coaching skills, such as asking powerful questions to inspire self-awareness, problem solving, and action.
Take a Coach Approach training is facilitated by the Office of Academic Advising and open to any DU faculty or staff who provides individual advising or mentoring support to students. The training is generally offered twice a year, in June and December. Participants must attend both days. There is no-cost for this training.
