Character Quest

Custom Leadership Integration Coaching (CLIC)

Character Quest founder Dean Matthews leads a coaching session with a student.

The next step of the certification process focuses on the individual student and his or her needs. Students participate in one-on-one individual coaching sessions with a Character Quest-certified coach. Coaches assist students as they focus on their own application and understanding of their experiences.

Utilizing the pillars of Team, Leadership and Character Development, individual coaches help students connect their own personal leadership environment with the teachings in the classroom and their outdoor experiences. This method of coaching in turn builds students leadership capacity for success and significance.

Coaching sessions are scheduled once a month for 30 minutes. Within that time, the student and coach will continue to develop goals month to month for continued progression.

Guidance

"During the coaching session, you can talk about anything: your student organization, your home life. We work through how to approach different people, how to keep people motivated, how to make people feel appreciated.

Dean finds a way to help you come to your own conclusions. He doesn't tell you what to do, but guides you as you figure it out on your own."
