UVM Health & Wellness Coaching Employee Connection Fall 2026
Event Description:
The Fall Employee Coaching Connection is a free, virtual health and wellness coaching program designed to support employees in creating sustainable, values-aligned changes in areas such as stress management, movement, nutrition, sleep, social connection, energy, and overall well-being.
This program is intentionally timed to help you enter the holiday season feeling more connected, supported, and energized. Join us for a mid-day pause, a caring community, and a reminder that you do not have to do this alone.
Begin with a personalized intake of 45-60 minutes with your assigned coach between October 5 - 12, before the group sessions start. This session will help you clarify what matters most to you, identify a meaningful area for change, and prepare for the small-group coaching experience.
5 Group Coaching Sessions:
Thursdays from 11:45 AM to 12:30 PM on Zoom on the following dates:
October 22nd | October 29th | November 5th | November 12th | November 19th
Each session includes:
Movement and mindfulness to spark energy and help you reset
Small-group coaching to build connection, support, and momentum
Gratitude and reflection to close with encouragement and intention
Location:
You will be receiving a Teams link the day before your first group meeting that you will use each week. A separate link will be sent for your individual session.
What to Expect:
Each group meeting includes a fun, easy exercise session, stress reduction activity, and small group discussion with your coach to set weekly goals. See our website for additional information and to learn more about our model.
Participation in the Employee Coaching Connection Program is recognized as part of UVM's Professional Development offerings.* By attending at least 60% of the sessions, your completion will be recorded in your professional development record in PeopleSoft by the Talent Development Center for Excellence at UVM. This documentation supports your career growth, enhances your skills, and contributes to your overall well-being.
This program aligns with UVM’s broader initiative to promote a culture of wellness, emphasizing the importance of health and well-being as integral components of professional success and personal fulfillment.
