COACHING
TURN YOUR GOALS INTO REALITY
MY STORY...
"College Excel helped understand that I'm in the driver's seat. When I started college, I quickly found out I just wasn't ready. The party scene was overwhelming, my time management was poor, and my motivation was at an all time low. Depression set in and I came home. I was pretty lost until someone recommended College Excel. My first thought was 'No way!' But after talking with the Program Director, I understood I am in control of my destiny and they are just here to help me get where I want to go. I worked closely with my Academic Coach who not only showed me how to see the big picture, but also helped me with the little stuff, like getting organized and doing presentations. My Life Coach was always there to guide me through all the challenges in my personal life.
College Excel made a huge difference in my transition to the four-year university I had always dreamed of attending.

How it works...
Research has proven that it takes approximately 3 months for the brain to establish a new habit. Based on this finding, our process is delivered in three quarterly segments; each with a specific goal that assures your transformation is successful and sustainable. The segments are based on the three stages a runner typically goes through when running a 100-yard sprint. These stages are the same process the brain needs to go through to prepare, commit and execute a challenge successfully.
STAGE ONE: Get Ready!
In the first quarter, we'll work with you to examine your motives, discover what's holding you back academically and personally, and develop a plan to move you forward. By the end of this first segment, you'll have a comprehensible vision of your future and a detailed plan with specific goals you'll need to achieve to keep moving forward.
STAGE TWO: Get Set!
Nothing changes until you change your behavior. Behavioral change and transformation don’t happen by accident. They require deliberate action everyday. In this stage, you'll begin the hard work of practicing the skills, strategies, attitudes and behaviors necessary to accomplish the vision of your future.
STAGE THREE: Go!
The main focus of segment three is to establish a rhythm of academic success. You'll work closely with your academic coach and advisors to decide your next course of action. We'll guide you through the process of transferring to a different school or staying on at one of the local universities.
This is when you begin to take over the responsibilities for maintaining the changes you've made. We'll also make sure you have the necessary skills and self-coaching techniques to maintain the changes you have made to your behavior and attitude.
What's Next?
Each student is different, so the length of our program varies. After nine months, some students decide to stay on and continue to receive our full services. Other students may still want support, but not require our full program. Those students can continue at a reduced tuition rate to allow them access to our facilities and coaching services as needed.
For students leaving Bend to transfer to another college, we also offer transition-coaching packages.
