In #coachbetter episode Kim talks with Iain Henderson, Director of The Bridge at Wellington College. This is a peek into a conversation they had for Iain's podcast that we're excited to share with you here.

the importance of agency in the coaching process
embracing a coach-like approach in any interaction
what we hope are the goals or outcomes from the coaching process
how we design coaching relationships and avoid "coaching-by-stealth"
the impact of different types of coaching models - like:

what happens when we mandate coaching, and
the repercussions of aligning coaching with evaluation

coaching in the age of AI

This conversation explores the deep power of coaching as adult development to support the flourishing of all educators in our schools. If you are interested in why coaching is so powerful - and some very important constraints to the coaching process that can make or break your program - this episode is for you!
