LifeBound Client Testimonials

I love coming away with new tools and strategies. I have a clearer understanding of coaching work and the profound impact it can have on students.

It was a very beneficial training for myself and my staff…We can now not only coach our students, but help coach each other to build upon our strengths and help each other with our weaknesses.

I would like to send all my advising staff and peer coaches… My goal is to introduce the coaching conversation to my college and expand university-wide so this is just the beginning of this beautiful relationship. Thank you for existing!
