Coaching Groups: Thriving in Academic Life
Academic life can be deeply meaningful. Faculty constantly faces competing expectations, demanding workloads, and uncertainty about what comes next. They may spend so much time meeting immediate demands yet have little space to reflect on what they want from their careers and how they want to grow.
Thriving in Academic Life offers that space.
Through a distinctive combination of three individual and three small-group coaching sessions, participants explore where they are, what matters most, and how they want to move forward.
This program consists of two meetings per month for 3 months. Each month you will have one 1-hour individual coaching session (to be scheduled with your coach) and one 1-hour group coaching session (scheduled in advance of purchase). If you are interested in participating but the existing options do not work with your schedule, please sign up for the waiting list below or send us a request via our Contact Form.
Groups must have a minimum of 3 people per cohort. If you sign up and the minimum requirement is not met, you may chose to have 6 individual coaching sessions instead, or to transfer to a different scheduled set of sessions.
Individual coaching provides personalized space to explore aspirations/vision, challenges/opportunities, and developmental goals.
Group coaching brings faculty together to gain multiple perspectives, learn from shared experiences, and support one another’s growth.
Coaching conversations are shaped by participants’ needs and may include:
• Career direction, identity, and purpose
• Priorities and competing expectations
• Relationships, communication, and visibility
• Resilience and sustainable ways of working
Across the experience, participants are encouraged to move beyond what they feel they should do toward greater clarity about the academic career they want to create—and to translate that clarity into meaningful action.
Kardia Group coaches bring substantial knowledge, experience, and passion to our work. We have studied, and continue to study, higher education as an organization, as a cultural entity, and as an environment for individuals. We have substantial experience with higher education, as insiders and/or as outsiders. We bring a commitment to understanding the impact of structures, roles, and identities on individuals, including matters such as climate-related issues, microaggressions, and academic and departmental cultures. We support the improvement of higher ed in part through individual faculty growth, success, and resilience.
