Coaching Connect: Strategies, Support, and Shared Wisdom

Are you in a coaching role and looking for a space to strengthen your practice, work through challenges, and feel genuinely supported? Those in coaching roles—whether novice or experienced—need thoughtful spaces to reflect, problem-solve, and grow. Yet the confidential nature of leadership/coaching can make it hard to find peers to talk to. This ongoing group offers a space for coaches and mentors to evolve their current skills and build community with coaching colleagues.

Seasoned coaches will facilitate as you add to your toolkit, refine strategies you can apply immediately, and will differentiate experiences for novice and experienced coaches. Each session will balance practical application with open, coach-to-coach dialogue, so you leave with a stronger sense of agency. This is a place for coaches to coach—and care for—each other.

Participants will:

• Strengthen their coaching practice by adding to their toolbox of strategies to use during coaching conversations
• Reflect on their coaching identity and approach in a supportive, confidential setting
• Engage in coach-to-coach dialogue to troubleshoot challenges and share insights
• Build lasting connections with a community of educators involved in coaching and mentoring
