Want to grow as a leader alongside your peers?
Our Synthesis Group Coaching program brings together small groups of student leaders to reflect, grow, and collaborate alongside a professional leadership coach. You’ll gain perspective and support, all while building connections with other campus leaders.
What is Synthesis?
Synthesis is a group coaching program where students meet five times over a semester with a professional leadership coach.
- 5–10 peers in a supportive group
- Five 90-minute sessions with a professional coach
- Assess your leadership strengths with the Student Leadership Practices Inventory
- Reflect and learn together in group debriefs
- Create a personalized leadership plan to reach your goals
New to Doerr?
Activation is the perfect place to start.
You’ll gain fresh insight into who you are as a leader, define the impact you want to make at Rice, and create a big-picture vision for your growth. This program is only offered once during your time at Rice (with the exception of Student Ambassadors), making it a unique opportunity to invest in yourself early.
Returning to Doerr?
If you’ve already taken other Doerr programs, Activation helps you evaluate where you are now and chart your next steps. It’s especially powerful if you’re currently in a leadership role—you’ll bring real experiences and challenges into your coaching sessions and walk away with strategies you can put into action immediately.
