Jami Carlacio, Lecturer in English at Yale University, reminds us that people thrive when structure and purpose are made clear. In her course Democracy and the Media in the Digital Age, she notes that students don’t always see how concepts, readings, and assignments connect—so she designs her classes to highlight those relationships. By doing so, she helps her students engage confidently and reflect on their growth.
The same is true in coaching and personal development. When we understand how our actions, habits, and goals align, we feel more empowered to engage with life’s challenges. Whether in emotional intelligence work, recovery coaching, or spiritual companionship, clarity becomes a foundation for growth and transformation.
Research by Professor Josipa Roksa at the University of Virginia highlights that people learn and stay motivated when they see others modelling genuine interest and engagement. Just as students thrive when teachers show up with care and structure, clients grow when coaches and leaders demonstrate presence, consistency, and authentic connection.
In emotional intelligence work, recovery coaching, and spiritual companionship, this principle is the same: when you experience someone modelling resilience, calm, and self-belief, you feel invited to strengthen those same qualities in yourself. Growth becomes not just about instruction, but about relationship, encouragement, and example.
