The GSS Graduate Coaching program aims to equip graduate students with coaching frameworks and effective conversational skills. Through practice, in and outside of the classroom, participants will develop their coach-like presence and learn to incorporate these skills into their daily conversations in an informal manner. As the quality of their conversations improve, along with their relationships with their peers and others, participants will be better equipped to achieve their professional goals.
