Company History
The U.S. Bank Goals Coaching Program exists to help individuals turn aspirations into action. Through one-on-one coaching, educational programming, workshops, webinars, and goal achievement resources, the program supports people seeking to improve their personal, professional, and financial well-being. The program blends coaching methodologies, behavioral science, and financial wellness education to help participants move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and purpose.
Unlike traditional educational programs that focus primarily on information delivery, Goals Coaching helps participants personalize what they learn and apply it to their unique circumstances. The coaching process focuses on helping individuals gain clarity, build confidence, identify obstacles, and create practical plans that move them toward meaningful goals. The program’’s philosophy is that information creates awareness, but action creates progress. Coaching serves as the bridge that helps people turn knowledge into real-world results.
One of the program’’s distinguishing characteristics is that coaching services are available at no cost and are not limited to U.S. Bank customers. The program is designed to support anyone who is seeking help with personal, professional, or financial goals. Coaches regularly work with individuals pursuing goals related to financial wellness, career development, education, homeownership preparation, debt reduction, savings habits, life transitions, and personal growth. Through personalized coaching conversations, participants gain clarity, confidence, accountability, and practical strategies they can apply immediately. This inclusive approach helps extend the benefits of financial wellness and goal achievement to a broader population, regardless of their banking relationship.
Financial wellness has been a core component of the program’’s mission since its inception. Through coaching conversations and educational experiences, the program works to increase financial confidence, reduce stress, strengthen decision-making skills, and help participants take meaningful action toward a more secure and fulfilling future. The program supports customers, employees, students, and community members at various stages of their financial journey while helping them create sustainable habits that support long-term success.
The U.S. Bank Goals Coaching Program is supported by certified professionals who are trained in coaching methodologies, financial wellness education, behavior change principles, and ethical coaching practices. Coaches adhere to professional coaching standards, a code of conduct, and fiduciary-minded practices designed to prioritize the participant’’s best interests. They do not sell products or services and instead focus on helping individuals develop the knowledge, confidence, and action plans needed to achieve meaningful goals.
Ana Salazar, Assistant Vice President and Program Manager, leads the Goals Coaching Program and its efforts to expand access to financial wellness education, coaching support, and goal achievement resources for individuals and communities across the country. Through strategic partnerships, measurement initiatives, educational programs, and one-on-one coaching, the program continues to advance its mission of helping people move from awareness to clarity, from clarity to confidence, and from confidence to action and progress.
