What is Success Coaching?
Success Coaching at Puget Sound is the personalized, non-judgmental practice of cultivating increased self-awareness, discovering effective strategies, and action planning through reflective, open-ended questioning. The coaching process offers students an opportunity to identify their strengths, practice new skills, and effectively navigate appropriate resources, empowering them to maximize their personal and professional potential while in college.
You and your Success Coach will work one-on-one on whatever is most important to you to ensure you are maximizing your opportunities and personal potential, moving you closer to the most satisfying and successful graduation day possible.
Coaches believe that students possess their own solutions and are the experts for their own lives, and they offer students accountability along the journey through the first year at Puget Sound.
