Coaching & Development

Helping You Reach Your Full Potential!

Our Coaching & Development (C&D) program is here to support you — academically, personally, and professionally. Through one-on-one guidance and engaging workshops, we’ll help you build confidence, improve time management, strengthen decision-making skills, and gain clarity on your goals.

Whether you’re adjusting to college life, exploring career paths, or managing stress, C&D offers a supportive space for you to reflect, grow, and stay on track. Here’s a glimpse of what we cover...


Academic Success

  • Time Management & Organization: Get practical tips to create study routines that work for you and learn how to prioritize effectively.
  • Goal Setting & Accountability: We’ll help you set realistic goals and stick to them — no more last-minute scrambling.
  • Motivation & Focus: Reconnect with your “why” and find the drive to push through challenges with purpose.

Personal Development

  • Know Yourself Better: Through reflection and honest feedback you’ll get to know your values, strengths, and what areas you want to grow in.
  • Build Confidence and Bounce Back: College isn’t always easy. Coaching helps you develop a growth mindset so you can handle challenges and come back stronger.
  • Handle Stress Like a Pro: Learn practical tools to manage stress, ease anxiety, and stay emotionally balanced — especially during high-pressure times like finals.

Transition Support

  • Adjusting to College Life: Whether you’re a first-year or transfer student, we’ll help you navigate the social, academic, and emotional shifts of college life.
  • Life Skills for Adulthood: From learning to set boundaries without guilt, to advocating for yourself with professors, we’ll help you feel more in control of “adulting.”
  • Navigating Independence: Coaching gives you the space to reflect on personal habits, decision-making, and how to take ownership of your time and responsibilities.

Communication, Conflict, and Roommate Dynamics

  • Roommate / Suite-mate Tensions: We help you explore what’s really going on and how to approach conflict calmly and assertively — before it turns into a blow-up.
  • Group Living Skills: Whether it’s about dishes, noise, or visitors — gain tools to handle common roommate issues with maturity and respect.

Group Work Skills/ Thriving in Groups

  • Interpersonal Skills: Conflict is a natural part of working with others. Through C&D sessions and workshops, you’ll learn how to communicate more effectively — using active listening, assertiveness, and strategies to navigate difficult conversations with clarity and respect.
  • Teamwork & Empathy: At Tandon, group projects and experiential learning are the norm. We’ll help you strengthen your collaboration and leadership skills so you can thrive in team settings — whether in class, student organizations, or your future career.
