The Importance of Measuring Your Impact as an Instructional Coach

This #coachbetter episode, Kim shares about a topic that’s been on her mind for a while now. She talks about the realities of becoming a coach - what no one tells you before you start. This episode is inspired by conversations with her clients in The Coach Certificate and Mentorship program & with her private mentoring clients. For Kim, coaching is the best job in the world, but whenever you move into a new position, or a new school, there are new challenges and new opportunities to learn & adapt from your previous experiences. Moving into a coaching role has lots of big transitions. In this episode, she shares 4 areas that come up all the time in The Coach, and as you listen, you’ll also hear the ways we support you in developing the skills to be ready for these new challenges when you join us in The Coach Certificate and Mentorship Program!

They’re inspired by conversations from the podcast, and work with our clients in The Coach Certificate & Mentorship Program, Women Who Lead, COETAIL, and our Private Mentoring packages. In this episode, we have a special guest, Kristen Moreland, experienced instructional coach & currently Director of Teaching and Learning, sharing 5 Reasons How Investing in Your Own Coaching Will Give You More Life to Do the Things You Love. As coaches and leaders, we know how valuable coaching can be - but we don’t often stop to give ourselves the time to experience coaching for ourselves. If you’re a coach, or you’re in a leadership position - influential or positional, demonstrating that you invest in your own coaching can be powerful encouragement for others in your community to do the same. If you’re thinking about the benefit of having your own coach, make sure to check out The Coach Certificate & Mentorship program, or our Private Mentoring packages.
