Colleagues,
​
​This week I’m playing with the idea of writing a very short and practical guide to reflective coaching. At the end of the week, I will ask for feedback. 

MVP: You can learn the structure of a good question

Chapter 2: How to ask powerful questions
  • Use 5-minute coaching questions as the base
  • The anatomy of a good question
  • Phrasing questions to be safe and invitational

Cheers!

Colleagues,

This week I’m playing with the idea of writing a very short and practical guide to reflective coaching. At the end of the week, I will ask for feedback. 

MVP: The foundation of reflective coaching is showing up – fully.

Chapter 1: Showing up

  • You get to choose how you show up in each interaction
  • Full presence carries value because it is rare
  • The mantra to being fully present: “this is the most important person in my world right now.”

This morning’s episode of The Assistant Principal Podcast is somewhat related to today's post. My AP friend Alex Auriemma and I dig into the growth mindset.

Thanks again to IXL for sponsoring today’s episode.

Cheers!

How cool is that?

Colleagues,

​This week I’m playing with the idea of writing a very short and practical guide to reflective coaching. At the end of the week, I will ask for feedback. 

MVP: Simple and consistent beats sporadic and nuanced.

Introduction

Barriers to coaching are time, technique, and preparation - all of which can be in short supply. 

By developing basic skills for reflective coaching, leaders can consistently help people grow without needing to prepare ahead of time. Coaching can just be part of what the leader does day-to-day, happening multiple times without premeditation. 

And reflective coaching over time will help create a culture where questions are routinely asked and valued, and where people expect to become better over time. 

How cool is that?"

Cheers!

I’ve thought about this for a while.

Colleagues,

MVP: In order to grow, you need to reflect.

I’m writing this in the morning before I do our third and final Now + Next training with our leaders in Cohort 7.

Our final lesson will be on scheduling time for reflection.

All October we focused on how you can help others reflect, but what about you?

When do you reflect?

And if you don’t regularly reflect on your practice, how do you grow?

Cheers!

These four things

Colleagues,

MVP: Read on…

I’ve mentioned before my desire to begin speaking more, and one of the ideas I would like to explore is four shifts we can make:
  • From thinking we are responsible for everything to knowing we are responsible for three things:
    • Keep everyone safe
    • Meet legal requirements
    • Support and grow our people
  • From reacting to what’s most urgent to prioritizing what’s most important (see above)
  • From thinking we know what people need to asking them what they need
  • From thinking our mouth is more important than our ears

If you’d like to help/hear me speak on these, consider completing this form. Your feedback will help me on this new stage of my journey.

Cheers!

Frederick
