Coaching.

What is coaching?

Coaching is a process through which an experienced person provides guidance, tools, and feedback to help someone think about creative ways to approach and accomplish goals to their fullest potential.

Coaching can provide critical support for college students preparing to navigate new personal, social, and academic unknowns. In Equip for College this guidance helps students prepare to excel in areas such as coursework, time management, using their voice, and finding balance so they can more comfortably adjust to college and maximize their experience.

Coaching can yield unlimited returns. Support through coaching empowers college students to adapt smoothly to their new environment, make informed decisions, and achieve their highest potential on their own terms.

Equip for College Coaching focuses on student’s goals as they embark on their college journey. Our coaching programs provide a safe space for students to learn what to expect and how to take the lead on driving their own experience. This boosts confidence and communication abilities, and teaches critical skills for overcoming obstacles. Our coaching helps prepare students for the challenges ahead and motivates them to identify and continue on their desired path.

The coach: Meet Kafi

Support during the high-school-to-college transition is critical and the best time to set a positive trajectory for academic, social and personal success.

My role is to help engineer successful college starts because the first year is foundational and can impact the multi-year experience in profound ways.

Equip for College fills a gap that is critical in the student experience. Traditionally students are prepared for how to get into school, but largely they are on their own to navigate the transition into college and first semesters.

Coaching students to their fullest potential is my passion!

That’s why I feel it is imperative to design programs that are entirely dedicated to preparing the student to adapt and manage the stress, uncertainty, ups, downs, and in-betweens that can derail confidence and ultimately success. There is no essay or test prep in this business only building confident and prepared students!

I have attended public, private, Ivy League, and state institutions for academics. This gives me perspective on what it takes to achieve in different academic settings. Working as a professional in the public sector, and then spending ~ 19 years in a Fortune 500 company has afforded me opportunities to mentor high school and college students, post-grads, post-docs, and professionals. This experience has left me with keen insights on what it takes for people to achieve through academia and after.

Many of us have had to overcome so many challenges and learn how to proceed with confidence and conviction, no matter who we are, I certainly have. I want every student who wishes to go to college to have the support that they need to Thrive When They Arrive™. So my mission is to help students reduce stress and build confidence to achieve the future they desire no matter their pursuits.

Get in touch and join me.

Rooting for students, every day!
