“I had the pleasure of having six professional development coaching sessions with Jose Luis. As a female, transfer student of color who identifies as LGBT, I have always felt like the cards were stacked against me. I credit Jose Luis’s coaching with easing my adjustment to Georgetown Law and greatly facilitating my connection with the school.
I especially appreciated the conversations we had about confidence and connection. Through thoughtful, self-reflective questions, Jose Luis elicited my negative assumptions and associations with confidence. He reframed the term and helped me redefine it in a way that was empowering and spoke to me.
Jose Luis is the perfect person to conduct professional development for students at GULC. His personality and genuineness helped me open up and seek support I otherwise wouldn’t have. He provided not only practical advice but a space for self-reflection and recommendations for other resources. I cannot thank Jose Luis enough and hope more students have the opportunity to receive coaching from him in the future.”
“Jose Luis Davila-Gonzalez delivered a valuable coaching program for me in my first year during law school. As an international student, there are many things to learn as to a professional in the United States. The most important thing is that learn about yourself as a person. What stands out about Jose is that he is flexible, listens well and was able to adapt his coaching expertise to reflect my needs related to professional development. His program provided me with much to think about, resolutions to apply when back in my own life and strategies to use when leading, studying and working individually and a team. I am highly recommended!”
“Jose Luis gave me the time and space to promote my own self-awareness. I shared my experiences, thoughts, and feelings because I knew everything I said would be confidential. His demeanor was excellent because he was professional yet friendly. Jose Luis was not only an excellent listener, he also helped me reflect on issues I was struggling with and focus on what it was I wanted to accomplish. I came out of each session more relieved and confident that I knew what it was I wanted to improve upon. I am proud to say that I did improve upon the things we discussed.”
