Best-selling author and coaching expert, Elena Aguilar, brings weekly tips, tools, and wisdom to educators with one goal: to help you thrive.

In this episode, designed for new coaches at the beginning of the school year, Elena demonstrates how she introduces herself to new coachees and pulls back the curtain on the moves she makes.

Mentioned in this episode:

Episode Reflection Questions:

Put yourself in the shoes of 2-3 of your coachees. What are they likely thinking and feeling at this moment in time?
What is the “just enough” context you would like to share with your coachees? (Tip: practice saying this aloud and paying attention to your non-verbals.)
What tools will you use to learn about your coachee? (Tip: Remember Elena’s advice to solicit information utilizing multiple methods such as surveys, questions in conversation, etc.)
