Ep #239: The Extended Value of Coaching for Your Family and School Community

The Empowered Principal™ Podcast | The Extended Value of Coaching for Your Family

As you’re hearing this episode, I’ve been spending the last month indulging my clients in celebrating themselves and all of their amazing successes of the last school year. They came to our coaching work together to increase their influence and impact as a school leader, and to leave an amazing legacy, but that’s truly just the beginning.

This week, I’m diving into the extended value of coaching. The truth is that investing in coaching isn’t just about you. The immense value of coaching does not stop there. When you lead your community with a managed mind and can step into emotional maturity in both your professional and personal world, the ripple effect is huge and literally everyone around you benefits. And today, I’m showing you how.

The Empowered Principal™ Podcast | The 3 Month Plan

What’s the fastest way to feel prepared and ahead instead of behind and overwhelmed? You need a plan where you’re working from the future, taking care of problems ahead of time so that you have fewer unexpected crises to deal with. Planning out the whole year isn’t realistic, so that’s where the 3 Month Plan comes in.

One problem I hear from every principal I work with is that they feel overwhelmed and behind, always trying to catch up. Well, I created an incredible process for my one-on-one clients to help them always feel prepared and like they’re one step ahead of the game, and I’m sharing it with all of you on this episode.

Ep #236: STEAR 2.0

The Empowered Principal™ Podcast | STEAR 2.0

Those of you who have been listening for a while will know all about the STEAR Cycle. However, we’ve had a huge influx of listeners over the past year, so I’m taking this opportunity to go over it again, this time with some things I’ve learned since I first covered the concept. The STEAR Cycle is my interpretation of the Self-Coaching Model, the idea that our thoughts create our results, not our circumstances or environments.

Some of the things I discussed in the early days of this podcast don’t stand up to the test of time. But the STEAR Cycle isn’t one of those concepts. The process I teach involves managing your time, your resources, and your emotional energy. The STEAR Cycle is going to help you master all of it and make the decisions that make your job easier, no matter the circumstances.
