WIML offers coaching, counseling, and mentoring. The coaching process is a required and significant element of the WIML Cohort. On this page, you will find the necessary information to ensure a successful coaching experience. A WIML Coaching experience has two core elements to consider.

You will be assigned a triad partner. You will meet monthly with your coach and triad partner. Sessions are generally two hours, but we advise planning for 2 hours and 15 minutes. While each coach may facilitate the session in a different style, the general pattern allows every participant to personally experience being coached while also participating in and learning from their triad partner's coaching experience.

In a traditional coaching model, the coachee sets the agenda and determines the direction of each session. WIML follows a content coaching model because each session is guided by a prescribed curriculum designed to lead participants through a specific developmental journey. While there is room for personal application and discussion, the overall framework and learning objectives are established in advance.

We also refer to this as a coach-mentor model because our coaches draw on both coaching and mentoring skills, combining active listening and powerful questions with appropriate guidance, wisdom, and practical experience to support each participant's growth.
