We understand that the academic year can be particularly busy, especially during exam periods.
Our coaches volunteer their time to support your teams and projects. By applying for a coach, you are committing to a minimum of one hour per month for meetings from October to April.
If your team is unable to attend a scheduled meeting, please inform your coach as soon as possible.
Failure to engage effectively with coaches may result in their reassignment to a different team or project.
-
We recommend scheduling recurring calendar invites with both your team and coaches. While there may be occasions when not all coaches are available, having the meetings set in advance increases the chances of everyone being present. Keep in mind that your coaches are full-time employees volunteering their time, so their calendars can get busy. Setting meetings in advance or as recurring events will set you up for success!
-
For one-time scheduling conflicts, we recommend proceeding with the meeting and taking notes. Afterwards, send a follow-up email to all the coaches, including those who couldn't attend, to keep everyone informed and on the same page for the next month's discussions. This helps maintain continuity and ensures that important topics are not missed.
If a significant number of coaches are consistently unable to attend the scheduled meeting date, we advise reevaluating the date and choosing an alternative time when the majority of coaches can attend.
-
We recommend sending a follow-up email to all members of your support network, providing them with notes on the topics covered during the meeting.
If applicable, highlight any actions that individuals will be focusing on until the next call. This practice keeps everyone informed and ensures continuity in discussions for future meetings.
