Start Here!

Let's begin by taking this short yes/no "test" to see if the Coach Institute is for you!

• Are you a coach who desires an up-close and individualized learning opportunity?
• Do you like learning in small, safe groups?
• Do you need support with problem-solving your deepest or most pressing coaching concern?

If you answered yes to any one of these questions, you're in the right place. Welcome to the Coach Institute!

What is the Coach Intensive?​

The Coach Intensive is an 8-hour, small group coaching experience designed for instructional coaches who are in need of something other than just another training or workshop. This Intensive is for coaches who want an authentic, conversational-type learning experience that takes them deeper into content aligned with developing the art and craft of coaching.

​You won't find slide presentations or a formal environment, but what you will find is a safe space for you to express your concerns, share your wins, and find possible solutions to your challenges that will change your practice. This is achieved by weaving each of the following concepts throughout all meetings.

What You Will Do

You will change your coaching through conversations and activities embedded throughout the Intensive. You will develop your art and craft of instructional coaching by:

1. Gaining confidence, motivation, and inspiration to upskill your coaching by bringing to light what's really within you!
2. Increasing your confidence by exploring resources and tools for instructional coaching.
3. Nurturing your confidence by adapting, designing, and reshaping your current instructional coaching practices.
4. Learning how to handle your personal coaching challenges.

We will explore many parts of coaching during our time together. No two cohorts will be alike because the Coach Intensive combines what YOU bring to the table with what I bring to the table in order for you to grow and develop the art and craft of coaching.

Here Are The Details
