Resources for Resilience
A coaching toolkit to help higher ed leaders, student supporters and allies navigate uncertainty
Higher education is no stranger to uncertainty. Through crisis, disruption and change, colleges and universities remain strong for their staff and students, living up to their missions and staying true to the meaning of higher education. Meeting this moment — and the road ahead — calls for confidence, resilience and care. We’re here as allies to support that journey.
At our core, we’re a mission-driven nonprofit with coaching at the heart of everything we do. We help individuals navigate change — whether they’re learners, leaders or student supporters. In this resource center, you’ll find coaching-informed tools to support your work, sustain your well-being and stand strong for your students — all grounded in a holistic, human-centered approach. We see you. We hear you. And we’re here for you.
