"This course offered a deeply practical and research-grounded exploration of what it means to coach effectively in a workplace context. The four-step coaching process, combined with lessons on learning agility, coaching conversations, active listening, and constructive feedback, gave me both frameworks and immediately applicable tools I can bring into my daily work.
I especially appreciated the research insights woven throughout — from Carol Dweck's growth mindset research to the 90% rule for coaching conversations, from Frances Frei's work on trust to the Harvard Business Review case studies on real coaching dilemmas. The distinction between coaching and directing, the emphasis on checking for readiness in both the coach and the coachee, and the reminder that coaching is ultimately an act of belief in another person will stay with me long after the course is complete.
As College Director at an Early College Center, I walked away from this course with renewed clarity about how to support the faculty and staff I lead — not by giving them answers, but by helping them find their own insights through reflection, questioning, and specific, well-timed feedback. Coaching well is one of the most generous things a leader can offer another person, and this course sharpened my ability to do that well.
Thank you for a thoughtfully designed and genuinely useful course.
With Benevolence,
Shannon"
