The Art of Coaching Emotions

How to navigate emotions in your coaching conversations, and learn from their wisdom.

Dealing with the emotions that adults experience can feel like the hardest thing about coaching. When teachers are overwhelmed, frustrated, or resistant it can feel hard to get to conversations about instruction. But learning how to coach emotions is the key to unlocking transformative change in educators. 

We can teach you how to coach emotions so that emotions are not obstacles to growth, but are resources for that growth. We can teach you how to coach emotions so that your coaches are no longer overtaken by emotions. We can teach you how to coach emotions so that you can create communities in which everyone thrives. 

As you learn to coach others around their emotions, you’ll also see your own emotional resilience increase. The ability to coach emotions will transform your coaching conversations and is the key to creating joyful, resilient, equitable places of learning.

Tina M.
What Our Community is Saying

"One of the richest impacts has been the web of understanding that’s building around our district as four of the curricular leaders participate in this same membership AND as more and more of our staff members participate in other trainings (Art of Coaching Teams, Coaching for Equity and/or Taste of Coaching for Equity). Having a common frame of reference and range of experiences has changed my learning into a richer, deeper, more powerful community learning experience."

Rebecca L.
What Our Community is Saying

"After 35 years in education, I feel rejuvenated and that I have a new sense of purpose. I will be eternally grateful for Bright Morning. You have been there when I needed you the most and have provided me with immense opportunities for personal and professional growth.

Andrea M.
What Our Community is Saying

"In my experience, Bright Morning has always provided relevant, applicable, 'just-in-time' tools that have enabled me to build my practice on solid ground. My Bright Morning Membership has been the silver lining of my year. This offer has paid off exponentially. All learning experiences have added a new layer of understanding for me. Now that I’ve experienced the benefits of a year-long membership, I really can’t imagine going back to a 'once-a-year professional development' approach."

My favorite part of being a Bright Morning member is the access to the incredible resources associated with our membership. Bright Morning is already generous with the free tools they provide educators and, as a member, there’s even more access. Another favorite part of my membership is that the incredible trainers actually show us how to use the tools in Elena’s books for full impact. 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!
