Life Calling and Career is proud to offer free life coaching services for all on-campus students. Life coaching is a collaborative process of powerful questions, personal discovery, and intentional change. IWU’s certified life coaches partner with students to help them explore questions about their academic major, life calling, places they feel “stuck,” and more.
Coaching enables students to gain a more holistic understanding of themselves and empowers them to make choices that align with their values, purpose, and strengths. All IWU students can meet with a Life Coach, which typically includes multiple one-on-one sessions averaging 45 minutes in length.
Our life coaches also utilize a variety of assessments and tools to provide the highest level of coaching possible. These may include CliftonStrengths, MBTI, Enneagram, and more. Students may also inquire with their coach about Spiritual Direction from one of IWU’s certified Spiritual Directors.
