THE KEY TO TRANSFORMATIONAL COACHING
WHY YOU WANT TO ATTEND
The hardest thing about coaching is dealing with adult emotions. Overwhelm. Frustration. Fear. Resistance. All of these are predictable human experiences that can be found in abundance in our schools.
When it comes to emotions at work, people usually fall into one of two camps: they suppress them or are overtaken by them. Both responses to emotions can lead to toxic cultures and fail to create environments where everyone is able to show up, be seen, and thrive.
If we want joyful, resilient, and equitable places of learning, we must be adept at coaching emotions. If you want to be a Transformational Coach, you must be able to skillfully coach emotions. And in two days we can teach you how.
Move beyond the book:
This workshop will guide you in using a simple three-part framework to coach someone in understanding their emotions, processing them, and moving through them. You don’t need to be a therapist or have an extensive toolset to coach around emotions, and this workshop will show you how to do that. In addition, you’ll quickly see how coaching emotions can clear space for an educator to explore their practices and look at equity issues that might need attention.
More than skill building:
This workshop also provides you with an opportunity to connect with and learn from leaders around the world. As you process your learning and practice new strategies together, you’ll experience the potential of coaching emotions to create healthy, resilient communities. You’ll be amazed by the connections you will make in a short period of time and the inspiration you’ll find in this experience. You’ll return to your organizations feeling energized and hopeful about what can be done in schools, and about your potential for impact.
New in 2023:
Your workshop enrollment now also includes complimentary access to two Transformational Coaching Accelerator (TCA) sessions. These TCA sessions take place during the two months immediately following the workshop date and provide the time to ensure workshop learnings continue to translate into skillful practice. If you want to be a Transformational Coach what you need is straightforward: structured space to practice and that’s exactly what you’ll get in your TCA sessions.

What People Say
I found this to be a really impactful workshop and very relevant to our times. Watching Elena model the framework and then getting a chance to try it out ourselves was a really effective way to learn. Loved the structure of taking the overview then looking more closely at each part of ACE, the modeling, practice, etc. Thank you, Bright Morning team!

The Art of Coaching Emotions is incredibly useful and fits well with Elena’s other books and Bright Morning’s other trainings. It’s also very important and applicable for many situations and positions right now, coaching/teaching aside.
Anyone who works with people this year—or works with people who work with people!—knows the impact and power of emotions. This class is a huge support in learning to interact with people and their emotions (as well as our own) in a healthy, transformative way.
