DESCRIPTION

The virtual version of our signature workshop blends the best of both worlds: self-paced learning via an online course to build knowledge with a virtual-live experience to build skill.  

This highly interactive virtual workshop is based on Elena’s best-selling book, The Art of Coaching (2013). It introduces participants to tools and resources, with an opportunity see them modeled right away.

New and experienced coaches alike will gain clarity about what coaching is and what a coach can do in schools. Administrators will leave with an expanded set of tools for leading the adults on their teams.

This workshop also provides educators with a chance to slow down and reflect on their values and remember what brought them into this field. Those who design and deliver professional development as part of their jobs will also experience exceptional facilitation, learning just as much about delivering PD as they learn about coaching. Participants leave with renewed energy, inspired to return to their schools to implement all that they have learned.


OUTCOMES

Participants will:

  • acquire powerful methods to facilitate the learning of adults
  • expand their definition of coaching
  • identify the three components of a transformational coaching conversation and use multiple strategies for each component
  • explore the impact of transformational coaching strategies
  • develop self-awareness and gain confidence as coaches and leaders.

ACTIVITIES INCLUDE

  • Observing and deconstructing masterful coaching
  • Identifying core values
  • Refining listening strategies
  • Learning new analytical frameworks and applying them to real scenarios
  • Role playing coaching conversations.
