Elite Coaching geared
towards Higher
Education
What is coaching? Coaching is about helping people go further in life, and allowing them to find the answers from within. It does not tell you what to do or what not to do. The Elite Coaching model is unique as it looks at things in a very simple way allowing clients to reach their big dreams in baby steps.
A student might come with his/her agenda to do a masters degree in a certain field. They are overwhelmed with the cost, which university and the effort required to accomplish the degree. First, it is important to validate whether the master’s degree is aligned with the client’s values; assessing the motive behind it and what the client will do with it.
We all need to talk to someone at some point to express our feelings, stressors, or confusion or to just get clear about the next step. Coaching allows for that as during several sessions the client and the coach meet face to face, or via phone to talk.
Education is a big topic that needs to be discussed. Do you know that 80% of students who graduated from universities in the USA work in a different field and only 20% work in the chosen field. This is when the average bachelor’s degree costs around $100,000. Why should we invest the time, energy, and money for a major that is not aligned with our values, and something that we are not committed to? The end result is unfulfilling and very costly.
Even more many families pressure their children towards a certain professional field. Or worse yet, students are influenced by market demands, and what they think will earn them the most money. Studies show that when someone works in the field they are most passionate about they have the most economic success. Wouldn’t it be better to first find validation in what your heart and mind are leading you to do, before you choose a university path? This is what Elite Coaching is all about.
