Coaching is an exercise centered on planning, goal setting and gathering insights about self. Coaching offers an accountable partnership (between life coach and coachee) where you work to learn more about your motivations, hopes, and goals. Each coaching session focuses on one topic and you leave with a tangible action plan that helps move you forward with any goals you have set for yourself.

Coaching can help you with any area of your life where you want to see growth, whether that's personal, professional or academic. There is no topic off limits in coaching!

A University Life Coach at Texas Tech is a staff member, certified and specially trained, who provides free services for Red Raiders. They partner with students in planning and creating action plans personalized to each individual. University Life Coaches obtain certifications through the International Coaching Federation and Gallup® Global Strengths Coaching.  

Students can experience long-lasting academic and personal relationships with a coach throughout their entire academic career at the university and will be provided support extending beyond academics. Coaching is a unique style of guidance and advocacy that focuses on each student's individual needs and desires. 

No, coaching is a FREE service for all students of Texas Tech University.

Yes, to meet with a University Life Coach you will need to schedule an appointment by calling us at (806) 742-7774, emailing us at university.coaching@ttu.edu or selecting a time in Raider Success Hub.

Put simply, each session is a conversation guided by the coachee. Coaches are there to ask powerful questions that in turn help you hone in on your hopes, goals and how to overcome any potential obstacles. The conversation is intended to be fun and for you to leave with a good idea of how you want to move forward. For more details on a typical session, please click here.
