What is LifeBound Certification?

LifeBound gathers a cohort each fall, spring, and summer for a virtual certification course that spans three months' time. Cohort members meet as a group monthly, are paired with another cohort member each month for coaching, work with their own LifeBound coach, and have multiple opportunities for feedback and reflection. 

What are the benefits?

Certification provides an opportunity to deepen self-knowledge as a coach, build a professional vision, become more adept in the use of coaching tools, heighten coaching skill through thoughtful feedback, and practice coaching in real time with cohort members as well as coachees. While you will become a master coach with enhanced skills and practice, many LifeBound certified coaches cite the coaching they received personally as one of the most rewarding parts of the experience and something not often provided to them in that depth in many professional environments. 

Who is a good fit to pursue certification?

Faculty and staff who coach students or peers, or who would like to incorporate coaching strategies into their existing roles, would benefit from the learning and practice that the certification provides. Leaders who are establishing a campus-wide culture of coaching, establishing a base-line for faculty to engage with students at their level of passion and those who want to help students reach their academic, personal and professional goals. Eligible educators include anyone who has completed a LifeBound three-day virtual training or five-day in person training.
