#48: Why she ditched her coaching sentence stems
About this episode
“I came in wanting sentence starters, thinking that was gonna make me a better coach. And I wanted a grid of like, if you see this, do that, when you see this, do that. And that's not how life is. And that's not clearly how coaching is. But I've moved beyond that now." In this insightful podcast episode, we dive into the captivating journey of Mindy Schroeder, a once "knowledge giver" who transformed into an empowering (and much more effective) coach.
Earlier in her coaching career, Mindy felt the pressure to have all the answers, but her coaching style and level of impact completely changed when she learned some interesting (and unusual) coaching strategies and skills in the Whole Educator Coaching Foundation's curriculum. Reflective listening became her superpower, even positively impacting her relationships outside of work, including with her husband!
Listen in to hear Mindy's adventures with coaching and how she overcame her "conflict avoider" tendencies and became empowered to embrace and address all problems, even the tough ones! Packed with valuable insights and transformational growth, this episode will leave you inspired to unlock the potential of educators and elevate your own coaching game!
