#144: When You’re Coaching Someone Who Should Get It By Now
About this episode
You know that teacher who should know better by now?
The one who should care more? Be further along?
Yeah… that “should” is telling on you.
In this episode, we’re talking about the quiet coaching killer: holding teachers to invisible expectations that keep you stuck. And we’re calling in a mindset shift that doesn’t lower the bar—but finally gives you a real shot at helping them meet it.
We’ll unpack the Expectation Continuum, drop a research-backed tool called mental contrasting, and ask the one question that can instantly shift your coaching approach.
Ready to stop coaching the fantasy and start moving the real needle? Hit play.
