Description
Leadership is a journey and it is best traveled with a guide. The Custom Leadership Coaching Program at the College enables that journey by connecting participants with a qualified coach of their choosing.
During a period of up to eight months, participants will schedule ten one-hour, one-on-one virtual sessions with their chosen coach. Each coaching session will explore an area of the participant’s choosing.
While all CPC coaches are trained and credentialed, they each come with a unique combination of experience, training and styles. As such, participants will be able to select the appropriate coach for themselves.
When registering, please select two coaches for a free 30 minute virtual “right-fit” conversation. You will then be provided official joining instructions. Please note, your official enrollment will only commence once you have been matched with your coach.
