Let’s see where you’re at:
If you answered mostly A or B:
You’re ready for The Coach right now!
You have gotten started on your coaching journey, but there are still elements of successful coaching that you’re working towards implementing, or implementing consistently. The Coach is designed to help you do just that!
So, this is the perfect time for you to get started! We’ll be working through each of the topics on the Quiz inside The Coach, so that by the end of the program, you’ll be answering “yes!” to all the questions!
Inside The Coach, you’ll identify the areas where you want to grow so you can build to the next level in your coaching. You’ll be able to set priorities & work through them at your own pace, with the support of the global cohort and/or your private mentor (depending on which package you chose).
Inside the Coach, you'll work through these phases:
In this phase, we’ll clearly define your role, ensure that you and your principal are working in partnership and that your colleagues have a consistent understanding of your coaching role. You’ll find that clarity gives you purpose and you need clarity in your role to make progress. This is the key first step in making coaching a success in your school!
By the end of this phase, you’ll reach Milestone 1, where you have
- developed clear documentation about your role (could be a job description), or
- designed a vision statement for how you will bring coaching into your current role (if not a coach), or
- successfully communicated your role to your colleagues (could be a coaching menu)
In this phase, you’ll put into practice everything you’re learning in the coach. You’ll bring a consistent structure and framework to your coaching conversations, you’ll learn how to ask just the right questions at just the right time, you’ll recognize how to transition between coaching stances, and you’ll document coaching conversations and start measuring your impact as a coach.
At the end of this phase, you’ll reach Milestone 2 where you have:
- conducted at least one coaching conversation or cycle, or
- completed a coaching cycle with a teacher you’ve never worked with before, or
- collected feedback on your coaching cycle
In this phase you’ll start building or expanding your coaching culture, but leveling up your work with teams, reaching out to potentially reluctant colleagues and start scaling the success of your individual coaching conversations across your building or school. You’ll start to see yourself as a leader, as a coach.
At the end of this phase, you’ll reach: Milestone 3, by:
- facilitating a team coaching conversation
- leveraging your coaching work with one individual to more
By the end of the program, you’ll also complete your Personal Project, where you reflect on your accomplishments during the Coach in one 10-minute video that can be shared with your current school leaders, or like many of our graduates, with prospective employers for a future job!
YES! I'm ready, let's go!

If you answered mostly C:
You’re already a coaching superstar! Private Mentoring is the way to go!
You already have tons of coaching experience, and you’re already feeling confident in lots of aspects of successful coaching.
But, as coaches, we always know there’s room to grow. So, if there are specific areas of your coaching you’d like to develop, or very specific challenges you’re facing in your school setting, a private mentoring package is right for you! We will work together, 1:1 to address your specific challenges & uncover your next steps to personalize a growth plan just for you!
When we work together 1:1, we’ll be able to pull the best resources from all of our programs (The Coach, COETAIL and Women Who Lead) to support you in achieving your personal professional goals. At any point, if you decide you would like to be part of one of our global cohorts, that’s always an option too!
YES! I'm ready, let's go!
I have really valued the conversations. The opportunity to have someone outside of the organization to express my fears and concerns to has been the biggest impact. I’ve got somewhere to get this out of my head, with well structured techniques and paths to deal with it.
