Leadership Coaching
Leadership coaching is an effective tool for developing leaders at all levels of an organization. The Leadership Coaching Academy (LCA) intake process pairs a coachee with a coach for tailored help in achieving goals and becoming a more effective leader.
UNLV Leadership Coaching Philosophy
- Coaching is focused on positive growth and professional development.
- The coachee must be dedicated to investing time and effort in their growth and professional development.
- Trust in the coaching relationship is paramount.
- Parameters of confidentiality are clearly established and agreed upon by the coach, coachee, and sponsor
- Coaching should not be punitive or used in place of corrective action, discipline, and/or supervision.
