What is leadership coaching?
Your leadership coach is a true supportive and objective partner
that helps you become a successful leader. Specifically, your coach
can assist you to:
- achieve proactive and powerful goals rather than just reacting.
- improve your communication and relationship skills.
- resolve conflict confidently and effectively.
- regain balance, control, and focus.
- overcome self-defeating behaviors.
- capitalize on your strengths and minimize blind spots.
- discover your passions, priorities, and talents.
- develop and maximize your team’s potential.

How does leadership coaching
work for you?
You and your coach will develop an ongoing professional partnership
that will help you achieve extraordinary results. You can expect
your coach to:
- keep all information you share confidential.
- really listen to you and without judgment.
- be truthful and direct with observations and feedback.
- require you to take action and be held accountable.
- be available for face-to-face or phone sessions at regularly
scheduled intervals (from 2 to 4 times per month).
- share ownership of the focus, format, and desired outcomes of
each session.
- utilize additional tools as needed to achieve desired results
(i.e., Myers Briggs Type Indicator, 360° performance feedback
surveys, Strengths Deployment Inventory).
- be engaged in the coaching relationship for 3 to 12 months.

How do I get started with Leadership coaching?
Getting started with leadership coaching at UCF is very straightforward.
Just follow these simple steps:
- Discuss your desire for leadership coaching with your supervisor.
This is necessary because you will be meeting with your coach
during work hours and there is also a nominal fee of $25 per session
that will be charged to your department.
- Schedule an “Exploratory Coaching Session” to learn
more about coaching and determine if it is the right resource
for you. There is no cost for this session. Send an e-mail to od&training@mail.ucf.edu, or mmoniz@mail.ucf.edu.
- Once a coaching relationship has been agreed upon, you will
receive a “Welcome to Leadership Coaching” packet
of information. Review the information, complete the documents
required, and you are ready to get started!
