EPOG Academy is making a measurable difference by increasing student success.
In the Spring of 2021, we conducted a Pilot Program to assess the results of EPOG Academy coaching on student outcomes. The results were undeniable. The data collected clearly demonstrates the positive impact EPOG Academy is having in students’ self-identification as a leader, ability to execute goals, growth mindset, emotional awareness, and resilience.
Boosting resilience in the face of adversity.
Students were guided through the EPOG program in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, during which hardship was encountered by nearly all of them. We work with students to identify strategies and create mindset shifts that help them recognize the importance of internal strength despite the struggles they may face.
Students were asked, before and after completing the program, if they had difficulty bouncing back when bad things happen to them.

Cultivating growth mindset to empower goal execution.
People with a growth mindset believe that their skills and abilities can improve based on effort and persistence. The EPOG program helps students to identify their own strengths and recognize their own ability to improve those strengths. With this shift, students are able to believe in themselves, laying the critical foundation for them to achieve their goals.
83%
of students who went through EPOG Academy agreed with viewing themselves as a leader.
Building momentum as self-identified leaders.
We know that leadership identity is predictive of leader oriented behavior. That’s why, throughout the program, students are reinforced in their identity as “Student Leaders.” In the end, students were able to view themselves as leaders capable of building a vision and achieving the goals they set for themselves.
Increasing emotional regulation to maximize personal growth.
In order for students to achieve their goals, they must cultivate awareness and control over their emotions and impulses. Our coaches help students to increase emotional regulation and self-awareness so that they can respond effectively, even in stressful moments.
