For Universities
What’s your university’s retention rate? What would it mean to be able to increase it 10 percent?
Factors leading to drop-out rates for students – especially those in the first year – typically relate to the new challenges they face:
- Living away from home
- Selecting a course of study/discipline/major
- Expanding their social network – friends and colleagues
- Changing relationships with family
- Limited guidance or mentors
- Stress of time management
- Finding balance in school/work/personal life
- Limited financial resources
At Epic Executive Coaching, we find that individualized support is key to helping students cope with these transitions, succeed in their studies and successfully complete their college degrees. We do this by showing them how to get clarity in where – and who – they are, set goals for where they want to be, and be accountable to themselves and their coach. We also give them tools for finding balance in their lives, and for overcoming the obstacles that inevitably arise.
We believe a good coach is like a mirror that can help a student see their attributes and their potential more clearly. This helps them gain self-understanding and insight to become more motivated, confident and well-rounded students, poised for success in college and beyond. |
