WHY YOU WANT TO ATTEND

The hardest thing about coaching is dealing with adult emotions. Overwhelm. Frustration. Fear. Resistance. All of these are predictable human experiences that can be found in abundance in our schools. 

When it comes to emotions at work, people usually fall into one of two camps: they suppress them or are overtaken by them. Both responses to emotions can lead to toxic cultures and fail to create environments where everyone is able to show up, be seen, and thrive. 

If we want joyful, resilient, and equitable places of learning, we must be adept at coaching emotions. If you want to be a Transformational Coach, you must be able to skillfully coach emotions. And in two days we can teach you how.


📖 Move beyond the book: 

This workshop will guide you in using a simple three-part framework to coach someone in understanding their emotions, processing them, and moving through them. You don’t need to be a therapist or have an extensive tool set to coach around emotions, and this workshop will show you how to do that. In addition, you’ll quickly see how coaching emotions can clear space for an educator to explore their practices and look at equity issues that might need attention.

⬆️ More than skill building: 

This workshop also provides you with an opportunity to connect with and learn from leaders around the world. As you process your learning and practice new strategies together, you’ll experience the potential of coaching emotions to create healthy, resilient communities. You’ll be amazed by the connections you will make in a short period of time and the inspiration you’ll find in this experience. You’ll return to your organizations feeling energized and hopeful about what can be done in schools, and about your potential for impact. 

✨ New in 2023: 

Your workshop enrollment now also includes complimentary access to two Transformational Coaching Accelerator (TCA) sessions. These TCA sessions take place during the two months immediately following the workshop date and provide the time to ensure workshop learnings continue to translate into skillful practice. If you want to be a Transformational Coach what you need is straightforward: structured space to practice and that’s exactly what you’ll get in your TCA sessions.



WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

  • How to use a simple framework to navigate complex coaching conversation
  • How to respond when a client demonstrates strong emotions, and how to manage your own emotional response to their emotions
  • How coaching emotions can accelerate an educator’s growth and contribute to retention

HOW YOU’LL SPEND YOUR TIME 


Core workshop experience: The Art of Coaching Emotions:

  • Pre-work [3-5 hours]: Your learning begins in advance of your workshop session with a self-guided exploration of foundational knowledge and tools essential for coaching emotions. Elena has curated 3-5 hours of podcast episodes, readings, and coaching tools to engage with that will set you up to maximize your workshop experience.

  • Virtual live [2 days]: This workshop is a two-day experience during which you will come together with a Bright Morning facilitator and a community of coaches to process your learning, observe masterful coaching, engage in coaching role plays, and receive feedback to sharpen your practice. Each day has 2 learning blocks with an hour break in between.
     

Bonus learning experiences: Transformational Coaching Accelerators

  • TCA #1: Virtual Live [4 hours]: One month later you will reconvene for a coaching practice session that allows you to apply your workshop learnings and expand your Transformational Coaching toolkit. These sessions also include everyone’s favorite activity - live coaching demonstrations. March's TCA theme is "Bringing the Play to Role-Play," where you will build fluency in The Coaching Lenses and additional visualization coaching strategies to bring the play to role-play.

  • TCA #2: Virtual Live [4 hours]: One month later you will reconvene for a final practice session. Two months have passed since your initial workshop and it’s time to fine-tune your approach and layer on a few more Transformational Coaching tools. And, of course, observe a few more coaching demonstrations! April's TCA theme is "Coaching to Release Control and Expand Possibilities," where we will invite you to recognize what is in your control and coach your ability to tell empowering, honest stories of self.

  • These two accelerators are each a 4-hour virtual live experience, divided in two 2-hour sessions. You may attend either or both sessions. No pre-work is required for these sessions.


WHO SHOULD ATTEND

  • Coaches, mentors, site leaders, teacher leaders, organizational leaders

  • Anyone who wants to use coaching strategies to help another person grow, and who recognizes that coaching emotions requires additional skills and knowledge.
