SCIENTIFIC APPROACH TO ACADEMIC COACHING
How will MLT help guide you in your career path in Canada?
Student success is about more than academics. It’s about creating thriving young people who make a positive impact on society. What do students need to succeed? They need confidence, clarity, empowerment and a better understanding of how they can contribute.
Action items inform students how they can put their strengths to use every day. Important note: Challenges a student may come across without a Coach are ways strengths may impede success. Together, this guidance can give students daily actionable advice to help them succeed in whatever they do.
Academic Coaching provides a pathway for students far from home and local to determine their potential career choice. If it is trades, tech, administration, hospitality, healthcare, or sales. The career life preparation is very important. Parents and students require a reassurance for the long road and decisions ahead.
Most international study does not prepare students for transition either to study abroad and learn another language or to eventually work in the country to obtain residency. My coaching provides a safe, comfortable, step plan for students to plan with confidence in the career choice of their dreams.
OUR STUDENTS ARE TAUGHT THESE METHODS:
The Birkman Method
Dr. Roger W. Birkman created The Birkman Method to measure personality characteristics that influence behaviors, motivations, and perceptions.
The Birkman Method measures various personality traits to provide insights on how they might interact in a team setting. Though rooted in a desire to understand why pilots reacted differently under the same circumstances, Birkman is now focused on helping companies build more effective teams, develop their talent, and do better work.Kaizen business and PDCA
Kaizen is part action plan and part philosophy. PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, and Act). PDCA brings a scientific approach to making improvements
The PDCA/PDSA cycle is a continuous loop of planning, doing, checking (or studying), and acting. It provides a simple and effective approach for solving problems and managing change. The model is useful for testing improvement measures on a small scale before updating procedures and working practices.
