Get in the Game
Effective coaching requires the planning and implementation of both offensive moves and defensive moves. Each planned activity (play) has a specific purpose – a goal to accomplish. Each move is made with the intended result in mind. How closely the actual results align with the intended results depends on multiple factors.

What We Learned at the 2023 Coaching for Change Conference
Sometimes seeing an abandoned
hallway is scary…like if you are stuck in the middle of a horror
movie, for example.
Other times, it is a bad sign…like if you are throwing a big house party, it’s two hours after it was supposed to begin, and still nobody has showed up!
Still, though, at other times, it’s a sign of a success…like at the 2023 Coaching for Change Conference, where you could walk down any hallway during a session and not see anyone (because everyone was so involved in the great lessons being presented.)
Thank You for Being So Great: Tips from Shelly Gibson’s Session on Encouragement
If you ever want to feel special, just go to a presentation by Shelly Gibson. That’s the case, at least, when she is talking about how to make teachers feel appreciated.
