ZF Real-World Coaching

"My coach has always been there to help me during my college journey. With check-ins each semester, his continued involvement with my education led me to better understand my future and become a college graduate. Without his sponsorship and mentorship, I don’t think that it would have been possible to achieve my degree with the level of success I experienced. I will be forever grateful for his support and can only hope to emulate his generosity in my own life." ZF Alum

​We encourage our students to develop and live by their values. We coach how to apply these values when making key life decisions. Our pragmatic life principles help our students to succeed and to build a ZF community with a common value system. We believe that effective adults become our change-makers and future leaders by living their values, both personally and professionally.

​We are not experts nor do we have hidden agendas - political, economic, academic or vocational. We’re situational and focus on specific student needs where we can add perspective. We coach and learn by working with our students​, by asking questions and encouraging discussions between students, their families and advisors. While no one can ensure “right” decisions, we encourage thoughtful and informed decisions. As we see patterns, we seek or develop resource materials and tools, such as our College Affordability Toolkit, for our community and the public.
