The number one way to make every conversation count is to have a clearly defined coaching goal that matters for students that you and your client are aligned on. In this episode, Elena, playing the role of school-based coach, demonstrates how to lead a conversation with a client where you move from a school-wide directive to a specific goal that motivates an individual client.
