At the Core of the Center for Student Coaching and Success is The Talent Development Framework.  We believe our first obligation is to help students develop their talent and become gainfully employed.  The Talent Development Framework is made up of Narrative Based Coaching, Emotional Intelligence, Growth Mindset, Patten Matching and Stacking, Market Specific Knowledge, Personal Branding and Personal Relationships.

Narrative Based Coaching

We all have a narrative that is written for us or by us. If you don’t understand your narrative, you can’t change. If others don’t understand your narrative, they can’t help you change.

Emotional Intelligence

Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the #1 predictor of performance in the workplace. It can be taught and learned. Those that have it perform at a higher level than those who don’t.

Growth Mindset

Growth Mindset is a belief system about how we make sense of the world that orients the way we solve problems and/or make decisions. It’s the way they sort out what is going on and what we should do. They embrace continuous learning and see setbacks as key learning experiences.

Pattern Matching/Stacking

All human beings are born with the ability to Pattern Match. We all are naturally gifted at identifying different patterns. In looking for patterns, it helps us anticipate what will happen next. Pattern matching/stacking is an ability to recognize similarities in different environments and use this information to guide problem solving, decision making, creativity and innovation.

Market Specific Knowledge

Innovation means you go first.  You go first to what you want to become. Concepts and theories make frameworks.  Frameworks provide structure, predictability and efficiency.   The goal is to speed up the adoption and retention of market specific knowledge.  Market specific knowledge related to what YOU want to become!

Personal Branding

A brand is a promise delivered in an experience. A personal brand consists of the meaning, makeup and message of that promise and delivery using brand image and brand identity. Brand image is the feeling that other people have when they spend time with you.  Brand identity is made up of your unique perspective, unique education, and unique experience or how you see it, know it and do it.

Personal Relationships

A relationship becomes personal (or meaningful) when two (or more) people, through interdependence, work together towards a common goal.
