Have you ever wished that you could get an expert opinion or coaching by talking to someone for 15 minutes or so? Do you often find yourself needing a quick piece of advice on a problem you have at work as a member of Purdue faculty?
Faculty in various colleges across the WL campus serve as speed coaches in our network. Speed coaches will make themselves available to offer brief ad-hoc coaching sessions (virtual and 1:1) to any participating Purdue faculty who are dealing with a specific issue at work.
Some examples of speed coaching conversations would include: (1) quickly reviewing an important email (e.g., to a department head or potential collaborator); (2) providing advice about handling critical feedback (e.g., from course evaluations or a review); and (3) helping to navigate on-campus resources. All coaching conversations shall be treated as strictly confidential.
Participants will have access to the list of speed coaches along with their availability and preferred method of contact at the start of the program.
The Speed Coaching Network is intended to supplement and further support the existing mentoring programs run by individual units on campus (as well as those available outside of Purdue). As such, participants will be encouraged to schedule coaching sessions with coaches outside of their college and department.
