3. CLASS SESSIONS: April 4, April 11, April 18, April 25, May 2, May 9, May 16, May 23, May 30
Note that the first session is mandatory. Registered students and students who hope to come off the
waitlist must be present at the beginning of this session to remain in the course. There are no
exceptions to this policy under any circumstances.
4. COURSE OVERVIEW
In 2009 a student who was about to graduate said to me, "Being coached at the GSB helped me grow
over the last two years, but after I leave school and no longer have access to these resources, how will I
continue to coach myself?"
This course is an attempt to help you answer that question. I define self-coaching as the process of
guiding our own growth and development, particularly through periods of transition, in both the
professional and personal realms. In this course you'll explore a range of practices and disciplines
intended to help you build on what you've learned about yourself over the last two years and continue
that process after graduation. Classes will consist of a mix of short lectures, exercises, small group
discussions, and coaching conversations in pairs.
While this is a self-directed process, it's also highly social and interactive, not solitary. Each week
you'll work with classmates in pairs and small groups, so be prepared to discuss meaningful personal
issues with your fellow students in every class.

5. GRADING
Grades will be determined through attendance and weekly assignments. This course may be taken
Pass/Fail with my permission.
5.1. Grading Overview
 One unexcused absence will lower your grade a full level. More than one unexcused
absence will result in a grade of U.
 Two unsubmitted assignments will lower your grade a full level. More than two unsubmitted
assignments will result in a grade of U.
 Three late assignments will lower your grade a full level. More than three late assignments
may result in a grade of U.
5.2. Attendance
Because every class session involves extensive interaction with other students, missing a class
would negatively affect those students’ learning. As a result, you are obligated to attend every
class session. One unexcused absence will lower your grade a full level, and more than one
unexcused absence will result in a grade of U. For students taking the class Pass/Fail, a single
unexcused absence may result in a failing grade. As noted above, attendance at the first session
is mandatory, and registered students and students who hope to come off the waitlist must be
present at the beginning of this session to remain in the course.
There are no exceptions for interviews, recruiting trips, compressed classes, weddings, family
events, or any other unexcused absences. Check your calendar to confirm that you can fulfill
this requirement of the course.
5.3. Weekly Written Assignments
After Week One, in each week that we have class you’ll submit a written assignment based on
your responses to that week’s readings and your ongoing experience in the course. The deadline
for each weekly assignment is Tuesday at 9:00pm.
Each assignment should look ahead to the upcoming class and discuss the readings for that
class. Beyond that constraint, the content is to be determined by you as an individual. There are
no specific questions, prompts, or requirements.
Submit your weekly assignments via Canvas, and use the following naming convention for your
documents: Last Name—First Name–Week Number.
There is a 700 word limit for each weekly assignment. Identify the actual word count for your
assignment at the top of the document.

5.4. Grading Criteria
5.4.1. Timely Submission: Points will be deducted for all late and unsubmitted assignments.
Assignments are considered late if they are posted to Canvas after Tuesday at 9:00pm. Three
late assignments will lower your grade a full level. More than three late assignments may result
in a grade of U. Assignments are considered unsubmitted if they are not posted to Canvas by
Wednesday at 5:00pm and will not be accepted after that time. Two unsubmitted assignments
will lower your grade a full level. More than two unsubmitted assignments will result in a grade
of U. It is your responsibility to insure that an assignment has been posted to Canvas, and
technical issues will not excuse late or unsubmitted assignments.
5.4.2. Depth of Personal Learning: As the focus of this course is you and your development,
assignments will be assessed on the basis of your ability to discuss how course readings,
materials, and experiences are personally relevant to you as an individual. Good written work
will not be a generic document that could have been written by any student, but, rather, a
uniquely personal discussion of lessons learned that could have been written only by you.
5.4.3. Conceptual Rigor: Assignments will also be assessed on the basis of your ability to
reference and interpret various concepts presented in course readings and materials. Good
written work will not simply recapitulate this conceptual material, but instead will employ it to
make sense of your experience in the course.
5.4.4. Overall Quality: Finally, assignments will be assessed on the basis of overall quality, which
is not limited to but will specifically include clarity, cogency, and creativity. This course isn't a
composition class, but I view quality as a proxy for the effort you're putting into the process.
6. OPTIONAL COACHING SESSIONS
I’m available for a limited number of optional 1:1 coaching sessions on the days that we have class. (I’m
not available for meetings on other days.) There’s no obligation to meet with me, and no aspect of these
conversations will have any impact on your grade in the course. The agenda for each coaching session is
up to you; it need not focus on issues that we cover in the course. Please be certain that you can attend
at that time before signing up for a session. You can sign up for coaching sessions here:
Given my limited availability, please sign up for no more than two sessions. If you need to cancel a
session, please email me immediately so that I can make the time available to other students. Note
that it is not permissible to trade appointment slots with other students.
