Student Life Coaching Circles

Join us for a new Coaching Circles Pilot!  Each coaching session will provide 8-10 staff members with an opportunity to interact informally with a Student Life Unit Director around a leadership topic of interest to them. These are informal conversations (rather than workshops or presentations) between staff and these leaders who have experience with and willingness to share their wisdom around these topics.

Staff are asked to register for only one Coaching Circle session this semester as part of the pilot. Space is very limited, register today!



Cultivating Connection: The Good Host Approach to Staff Engagement

Available Seats 8
-
The Connector Small Group Dialogue Room (located between West Quad and the Union)
Amanda McLittle, Director, Community Connections and Engagement, M Housing

In this coaching conversation, we’ll explore ways to apply Priya Parker’s The Art of Gathering principles to our professional staff interactions. We’ll focus especially on the importance of being a thoughtful host and building a sense of community. Practical strategies from Parker’s framework will guide our discussion, including setting clear purposes, creating inclusivity, and fostering meaningful connections. We’ll reflect on how staff can go beyond logistics to design gatherings that build trust and engagement among colleagues. Bring your own experiences to share, and leave with actionable ideas for strengthening our staff community.
