Are you ready to thrive?
Bright Morning creates possibilities.
What to Expect
Practice, practice, practice
Skill building requires doing. From role plays to designing sessions and tools you’ll use tomorrow, every Bright Morning learning experience allows you to quickly build and refine your skill.
Safe-ish spaces
We create and hold spaces that allow you to learn and grow. This requires both psychological safety (so you can take risks) and providing opportunities for you to push your developmental edges so you can level up.
Masterful facilitation
Bright Morning facilitators are experts in adult learning who have studied under Elena Aguilar for years. Our team engages in ongoing professional development to continue to hone their craft.

"Each of the Skill Sessions that I have completed have been amazing! They give you bite-size, easily digestible information on Transformational Coaching and practical tips for implementation. The sessions are short to fit into a busy schedule and it is so nice to have a go-to, easily accessible resource with a menu of topics to choose from. It's like a "choose-your-own adventure" resource. Thank you to Elena and the Bright Morning team!"
"It was great to see the ideas from Arise put into practice in a live situation, with outcomes that could not be predicted. Elena showed what an experienced, compassionate coach with many years of practice can do--and she encouraged us to practice, as well, to hone our skills. I love that I had the opportunity to be in person with Elena, I loved the wam feeling of the entire 2 days, I love being treated like a professional, and I love that I feel like I belong to a community of coaches now."
"This was my first in-person training with Bright Morning, and it was incredible. Our online trainings leave me feeling energized, and the in-person training was magical. Being able to meet and connect with a variety of different educators and commit to getting together because our geography makes it more accessible is priceless. Transformational Coaching isn't just profession related--the things we talk about and wish to embody are ways of being in our life, not just in our campus /department lives. Highly recommend if you are ready for the next level of being your true self."
"This training impacted the way I connect with my audience, plan, and facilitate PD. I was given time to connect with others, receive and give feedback, and time to practice what I was learning. There are many strategies I came away with for me to use. I would recommend this to anyone no matter how long you have been a facilitator because it gives everyone a new lens in designing successful PD."
"If you are looking to take your PD, team meetings, staff development meetings, and workshops to another level, this workshop is for you! Artful Design & Facilitation was empowering and thoughtfully designed... It validated my current work and allowed me to go deeper."
"As a new supervisor next year, I am so very grateful to have attended The Art of Coaching Teams in-person workshop. I can set up a team with the foundational skills of building meaningful team agreements that will support all members being seen, heard, and valued. In addition, we can begin the year by building our team's emotional intelligence and learning practices for engaging in healthy conflict. By participating in the workshop, I know I have the capacity, tools, and resources to lead in a way that aligns with my core values as a human and educator."
"The Art of Transformational Coaching workshop is the best Bright Morning professional development I’ve ever been to in ten years. We had time to gain knowledge, practice skills, and develop community! You should attend if you need to develop into a coach who wants to change the world!"

"This workshop made me reflect deeper about my leadership skills. I love that I was able to show up as myself, reflect on my strengths and weaknesses, and practice how I can continue improving as a human being and as a leader. Such a great experience that will forever impact in how I think, believe, and act moving forward."
"This training has not only provided me with resources to be a more effective coach, but has reaffirmed and validated me as a professional educator, to continue to lead with curiosity and compassion and ultimately positively impact the education of our children. Thank you."
"This training breathed new life into my work as an instructional coach. I feel like I finally have the tools needed to fulfill my role."
"Transformational Coaching is a process that has the potential to enact lasting growth and change. There are so many valuable tools and times of reflection in the signature workshop. I highly recommend it to coaches and administration!"
"I have been coaching for well over 15 years in various capacities and this training has reinvigorated my approach to how I build the capacity of others through coaching with effective strategies and tools."
"Resilience is what creates strong educators. Onward Book Club has helped me develop my coaching skills and offered strategies to support school leaders."
"Artful Design & Facilitation really opened my eyes to the elements that can make trainings really transformational. The breakout group work was very intentional, and the participants were very engaging."
"Coaching For Equity gave me so much HOPE! Hope that the transformations we need are possible and hope that I can learn and practice and have the conversations we all need to make those transformations in our schools happen. Thank you, Bright Morning team!"
"The Art of Coaching Teams workshop went beyond meeting my expectations. It felt so good to be part of a community of learners who wanted to be there and were so open and vulnerable with their contributions to the learning. I liked the role-playing best. It was scary, but it was impactful to practice real potential conversations in a low-stakes way. I really appreciate the learning experience and would take another Bright Morning course in a heartbeat."
"Hands-on practice in a supportive community is the best way to develop confidence and skills. I felt like a better coach after just the first Transformational Coaching session!"
"In The Art of Coaching Emotions, no one had a chance to hide behind rhetoric or jargon. We were working. Feelings were centered and truths were told. This is an executive level offering. I'm looking forward to future trainings. Thank you!"
"The workshop was so practical and inspiring. It is clear that Elena brings a deep well of joy and experience to coaching. The strategies she shared are practical and doable. I feel like I went from watching coaching sessions and thinking "Wow....I'll never know how to do that" to feeling empowered with some clear strategies, thoughts, and question ideas to begin my growth journey as a transformational coach!"
My favorite part of being a Bright Morning member is participating in a supportive community dedicated to learning.

My membership has been an investment in myself professionally and personally.
Wow!! An amazing year of learning, diving in and then going deeper. From prework to follow-up, every detail was carefully considered, planned, and delivered. I can’t get enough! I love the opportunities and ability to redo courses throughout the year. I have made so many changes this year due to the learning obtained from the Bright Morning team. Thanks for inspiring, empowering, and encouraging me throughout my amazing journey this year with you.

Bright Morning is already generous with the free tools they provide educators and, as a member, there’s even more access.

I’ve learned so much about myself and my work and have leveled up my skills as both a coach and trainer. This membership is the gift that keeps giving!
