What is it?

In an increasingly virtual environment, we know that Residence Advisors play an even more significant role in connecting residents and building community.  With the need for physical distancing, the need for building community and relationships with and among residents is ever more important.

We are excited to be able to offer a reimagined Program Coaching opportunity for all of our Residence Life Staff!  This is a one on one coaching opportunity that is action-oriented and focused specifically on the subject of community building.  Coaching provides you with the opportunity to participate in a structured conversation designed to uncover goals and take tangible steps toward achieving them.

Why should I participate?

PRC coaching is a professional development opportunity offered to Residence Advisors that gives you the time and space to connect with another Residence Life staff member – outside of your current area team – specifically on the subject of community building. This time is available to help you explore your thoughts, feelings, experiences, challenges and/or dreams relating to community building in residence and then determine what your next right steps might be based on this conversation. 

Some topics relating to community building as an Advisor that you might be interested in exploring through PRC coaching could include: 

• Integrating your future academic or career goals with your current student leadership in residence
• Giving space to consider more tangibly about an idea you’ve had but haven’t yet found the time or energy to consider how to implement 
• Exploring a challenge you’ve been having in ideating or implementing community building initiatives in your residence community 
• Anything else you are curious to give space to consider that relates to your role as a community builder in residence 

What would I need to do? 

Step 1: Schedule a time

If you are interested in participating, please send us an email.  Please include your availability for the next week, and we will respond to schedule a 1 hour coaching session.

Step 2: Attend the meeting

The meeting will be over zoom.  Please come prepared with a topic you are hoping to explore through this experience.  The goal is that by the end of the coaching session you will gain some clarity and tangible steps for your next program.  

Step 3: Implement your action plan

With the action plan outlined through your coaching session, run your program!

Step 4: Follow up

After you’ve completed your program, send us an email to schedule a follow up 30 min debrief.  In this conversation, you and your coach will walk through a debrief on the experience.

 

We look forward to connecting with you!
