Objective The objective of the Executive Coaching Program is to provide Robinson College of Business Graduate Students the opportunity to seek advice and guidance about careers and their personal and professional skills by creating relationships between students and experienced professionals. Coaches will help guide Robinson students as they map out areas for their personal and professional development, request information about careers and industries, and seek feedback about issues of concern. Student Selection Process Graduate students interested in participating in the Executive Coaching Program are asked to see the Events Calendar for the next scheduled Executive Coaching Program week and review Instructions for Signing up.
