Navigating A Career Crossroads: How Coaching Can Help You Stay the Course to Career Fulfillment

This session will help mid-career and senior faculty understand how the empowering, self-actualizing principles of professional coaching are uniquely suited to help them navigate the mid- and latter-portions of their faculty careers. Advising, mentoring, and sponsoring are all critical to career development, but each of these implicitly depend on a more senior guiding hand. But what do you do when there is no one to show you the way? Experienced faculty must chart their own course, be it through a career pivot, professional setback, or transition into retirement. This session will familiarize attendees with the value of a coach, show them how to find one suited to their needs, and prepare them to get the most out of the transformative experience that is coaching.
