What is Conflict Coaching?
Many people report that conflict causes them to feel confused and anxious. Conflict coaching is a powerful one-on-one conversation with a conflict resolution staff member designed to help individuals gain the knowledge, skills, and tools to effectively manage current or future conflict situations.
Students have the opportunity to talk about their conflict confidentially, with the coach helping them to identify goals, gain increased clarity, and provide helpful tools and resources for moving forward.

Graduate Students: We work with both Master's and PhD level graduate students. Common areas of coaching are around employment and supervision, graduate advising or PI advising conflicts, colleague and interpersonal conflict, and self-improvement.
