The Coaching Culture at Queen's

Personal Coaching

Today, all over the world, people at all levels of management are using Personal Coaches to help them achieve their full potential. At Queen's, this optional program can be a critical piece of your learning experience. Gaining a better understanding of yourself and learning how to leverage your strengths is an empowering process.

Choosing Your Personal Coach
It is very important to have a good rapport and chemistry with your Personal Coach. For this reason, you are able to select your Coach from our roster of coaches. Our professionally trained coaches have a wealth of life and coaching experience, ensuring that the process is impactful and responsive to your needs.

Influencing the Direction of Your Coaching
Personal Coaching can take many directions, and you are empowered to influence that direction. Some examples are:

• Identifying and leveraging your personal strengths (our Coaches have several innovative assessment tools at their disposal to assist in this process.)
• Identifying and mitigating perceived weaknesses
• Working through specific personal or inter-personal issues you may be having

Achieving Your Full Potential
The impact of your Personal Coaching experience can be immeasurable and will affect many aspects of your life.

"I was aware of the Personal Coaching option when I enrolled in the program, but I really had no idea what an impact it could have. I was able to choose my Personal Coach from a roster of coaches and really influence the process. As a result, I feel I have a much better understanding of my strengths and how to leverage them."

During on-campus sessions you will have access to a Lifestyle Coach who can provide assistance with a fitness regimen or diet advice. As well, through the optional Fit to Lead™ program, you will have the opportunity to take part in a variety of team and individual activities. Throughout the Queen's Executive MBA program, Fit to Lead™ will provide group challenges, tips for healthy living, a monthly newsletter and a lifestyle planner.
