In this blog post we are unashamedly promoting coaching; not only as an approach to improve teacher and leadership effectiveness, but also as an intentional wellbeing strategy.
We also want to highlight the coaching way of being as an approach to help you thrive during term 4.
For & Against
The best three arguments for coaching as a wellbeing strategy:
Coaching is proactive and productive. Coaching provides a vehicle for tackling issues and being solution focused. Therefore, things don’t hang over us as we ruminate and procrastinate.
Coaching is active and sustainable. Coaching creates space for us to be moving forward, engaged and feeling successful and productive. Coaching adds value; we feel good when we’re making progress and having an impact.
Coaching is about connection. Research tells us that connection is the number one factor that contributes to wellbeing. Whether you are a coach or a coachee, a coaching relationship is empowering.
We don’t have any arguments against coaching as a wellbeing strategy.
Coaching Way of Being
● Stay curious - help others help themselves.
● Seek first to understand before being understood. Ask questions.
● Show positive intent - believe everyone is doing the best they can.
● Be action oriented - What can you do? What will you do?
● Stay connected with your people. When we’re busy we can become siloed and focused only on ‘getting stuff done’.
