LAS Coaching Model™
The LAS Coaching Model™ is the foundation for all LAS services and provides a clear framework for academic and professional skills development. LAS Coaching is client-centered and offers individualized coaching like that used by professional athletes, musicians, and academic decathletes.
Unlike traditional tutoring models that focus on providing answers, the LAS Coaching Model emphasizes teaching clients how to learn independently. While LAS Coaches can certainly explain concepts and solutions, they prioritize developing students’ intrinsic learning skills. This often requires a delicate balance between guidance and allowing students to discover solutions on their own.
Many individuals seeking coaching services, whether for themselves or their students, may also be experiencing challenges with executive functioning. These challenges can manifest in various ways, such as difficulties with homework completion, test preparation, time management, procrastination, or issues with reading, writing, self-organization, and self-regulation.
The LAS Coaching Model addresses these challenges by providing structure, support, and accountability. We work with clients to set individualized learning objectives and measurable goals, empowering them to become independent and successful learners.
LAS Career Coachingl™
In today’s fast-paced, technological world, competing demands for time and attention frequently impact academic and professional goals. LAS Career Coaching™ recognizes the importance of career decision-making and the need for career changes, both during and after academic training.
Based on a relationship model, LAS Career Coaching™ provides a valuable framework for individuals navigating career transitions and decision-making. Whether in school, transitioning to professional life, or seeking a career change, our coaching provides structure, support, and accountability to guide you toward clear and effective career decisions.
LAS Career Coaches understand the complexities of career exploration. They help individuals address concerns related to selecting a major, determining career goals, and navigating career changes. The LAS time-limited coaching model provides the support you need to achieve your career aspirations.
LAS offers career coaching services to individuals at all stages. Whether you’re exploring new academic pathways, considering a career change, or seeking a new job, LAS Coaches help you navigate the complexities of the modern workplace and achieve your career goals.
