It’s Not All One Way Traffic: The Role of Leadership Coaching in the Change Process
The place and role of coaching has gathered momentum in recent years across COBIS schools. We know that coaching is a powerful mechanism for promoting change. Whilst we already recognise that those who receive coaching are more able to cope with change, this workshop identifies the personal and professional benefits arising for the coach.
David’s doctoral research, conducted over the last 5 years uncovered a range of benefits for school leader’s self-efficacy beliefs and professional learning. Fundamentally, the research in its simplest terms shows that one of the best things we can do to cope with change and foster our own wellbeing, is learn to coach others. Not only does serving others through coaching help coachees, but it also powerfully contributes to leaders’ own learning and development.
Target audience
All professionals working in a leadership role in the education sector who are interested in how change works and are keen to focus on enabling, empowering, emboldening and encouraging others to perform effectively.
