These are crucial ingredients to the high level of trust I have in you. • Coaching has changed my life ; I have gained personal empowerment • I think I’ll continue to move forward, bringing greater creativity and innovation to my work. • Prior to the coaching I think I tended to see things through the lens of the challenges we face, working as a team is helping all of us see the bigger picture and respond accordingly • I found that the coach approach assisted me in making personal changes. I am learning to pay attention and to confront to what needs to be confronted. I am continuing to learn how to ask great questions and more importantly to support the follow-through. Coaching enhances personal growth. Evidence of Impact: • The coach approach is a great way to get students to think and look into themselves for answers about their future rather than just being spoon fed ideas. • They become responsible for the research needed to set career directions. Simply, I realize that we are like the children that we teach. We need to be acknowledged and appreciated. Questions?
