“An Army of Emotionally Available Adults”

"People started coming back from coach training saying it was life changing. That was not what they were saying about IB workshops. I realised it was a very good use of the professional development budget!" (Dan Brown)

Why coaching in education?
"To see the potential and growth in someone." (Deacon Manu)
Because "these are the approaches that help young people thrive." (Melanie Ellis)

We have our core values on posters around the school; these are things we say we value. "A coach-like approach can be one of the things that is real that is on our walls." (Deacon Manu)

Coaching can impact behaviour for learning because it creates "an army of emotionally available adults." (Melanie Ellis)

"We are teaching children to think." (Jim Livingstone)

Professionals in other industries, such as insurance, have coaches. "We change lives; we need coaches!" (Dan Brown)

There were so many valuable insights from the panel at CoachUP 8 on Saturday! Thank you to Paula Kennedy-Wingate for moderating this panel so skillfully.

We will have more updates about CoachUP to come over the next few days. It was an exciting day of learning and growth for us.
