Every context is different, so there is no one size fits all approach to coaching or to getting started in coaching. Others have found some of these approaches helpful, so perhaps some of these getting started approaches might resonate:

  • Experience being coached. It really helps to know what it is like to have direct experience of the positive impact that coaching can bring.
  • Investigate what others have done. Talk with other educators, listen to podcasts, attend a conference, read case studies. Often someone else’s experience will provide helpful things to consider.
  • Participate in an introductory course on coaching (individually or as an on-site group). This is a helpful way to grow your understanding of coaching and to network with others in similar situations. And, you will learn transferable skills that will be helpful whether or not you pursue coaching further.
  • Connect on Social Media. Follow coaching in education opinion leaders and practitioners and popular hashtags. This will give you a sense of what is going on in coaching, and it provides a zero cost, low risk way to begin exploring the field. Educators involved in coaching are generally very generous so don’t be shy!
  • Connect with us directly info@growthcoaching.com.au. Our consultants are always happy to have a no-obligation confidential chat with you to discuss your context and explore possible starting points. We care about the difference our work makes in education communities so you can be sure of an honest and trustworthy response.
