Developing the congruent academic through an integrated coaching approach

Turbulent times in academia have resulted in a workforce that is stressed and overworked. In this reflection on practice, I propose that taking an integrated coaching approach to academic development can support academics in making sense of their whole congruent self and how their roles in teaching, research, leading, and living fit together. I explore three key elements of lifewide learning, heutagogy, and an asset-driven approach to coaching individuals and teams and suggest future implications for the academic development community.
