Coaching Addresses

Faculty and Staff Burnout  

Coaching is not just for students. When an organization or institution builds coaching into the workplace structure for faculty and staff, everyone benefits. Every positive takeaway that a coaching conversation can provide for students–acknowledgment, championing, an opportunity to reflect, encouraging agency, re-energizing and much more–is available to faculty and staff through coaching. 

Studies by the Chronicle of Higher Education and the American Council on Education, cited in this article from Collegis Education, firmly establish that a majority of faculty and staff are feeling high stress, and that faculty and staff well-being is a significant issue for institutions. The pandemic has exacerbated every measure of stress and burnout. How can institutions address these pressing needs without further stressing tight budgets and maxed-out schedules?  

Colleges can create a culture of coaching within existing faculty and staff cohorts. In this article from Engage2Learn, research shows personalized coaching builds collective efficacy, can be more effective than group-focused professional development, and can reduce burnout.

As LifeBound coaching class cohorts discover, being coached by peers during the training is a significant benefit of the experience, providing an opportunity to ruminate, reflect, be heard and seen, find clarity and refill much needed energy reserves.
