The UMBrella Group, in collaboration with Human Resource Services, offers the UMBrella Coaching Program, which aims to engage women in a rich program complete with supportive coaches, networking opportunities, and exclusive activities designed to enhance the coaching experience. 

Since launching in 2017, over 300 women have participated in the program. Each participant engages with a coaching group (which includes one coach and four to six fellow participants) during monthly meetings to discuss career-related topics. The program features learning events, useful self-assessment tools, an UMBrella mixer, panel discussions, and a closing ceremony.

Monthly discussion topics for Cohort 6 will be: Starting Your New Journey (Goal-Setting); Taking Charge of Your Career; Building Your Personal Board of Advisors; Networking; Managing Up; Negotiating; and Communicating.

“Being an UMBrella coach has been one of the most rewarding experiences I have had during my time at UMB. Watching the women participating in this program owning their worth, having more clarity about their aspirations, realigning their goals, and taking concrete actions to advance their careers is so reinvigorating and inspiring. I am so honored to be an UMBrella coach!”
