Success Coaching

Success Coaching at Husson University is an individualized, collaborative, and dynamic process of addressing students’ specific needs and personal goals. Coaching focuses on a student’s strengths and identifies strategies to help students overcome obstacles, be strong self-advocates, and build self-determination. Together, a student and coach proactively work towards students successfully carrying out their daily life activities at college in a goal-oriented way. 

Success Coaching can:

• Assist students in figuring out their college strengths, challenges, and needed support. 
• Offer academic support skills and core self-management strategies.
• Provide support and feedback while students use these skills and strategies in college.
• Give non-judgmental accountability as students work to meet their goals.
• Connect students to other relevant campus resources.

Students: 

• Partner with their coach to determine what works and what doesn't.
• Have autonomy in decision-making and topics of coaching discussions.
• Become an expert in how they learn, manage their time, and fully participate in college.
