UKAT, the United Kingdom Advising and Tutoring association, is a learned society of professional practitioners and researchers interested in advancing the scholarship and practice of student advising and personal tutoring in Higher Education in the UK. We advance the field through our conferences, symposia, workshops, support for original research, peer-reviewed academic publications, accreditation of practice, professional courses, and resources.
Join this session which is designed to actively engage, challenge and support participants as they uncover the unique mindset and perspective of a coach and how to apply that in practice.
Grit works with a unique coaching framework which is designed to shed light – not just on our coaching – but on the way we participate in life. In doing so it also helps us create the clarity to have more effective and impacting coaching conversations with students and colleagues.
You will explore the differing perspectives within this model – through examples and break-out room sharing. This allows you to see new choices about which perspective best delivers the results you are looking for in your professional role and how best to create an impact with students and colleagues. In particular, you will explore the purpose and commitment of being a coach and how that relates to a non-directive and non-judgmental perspective.

You can customise the posters, change the terminology, add your own stories, and even use your institutional logo to give it a personalised touch, all by editing a simple spreadsheet. The resource contains all the images and stories showcased in the gallery and detailed instructions on customising them. All you need is access to Abode InDesign, a spreadsheet application, and your institutional logo to enable you to create a poster campaign for your institution.
