This episode features Beth Sharp, a seasoned instructional coach. Beth shares her personal journey, reflecting on her transition from elementary teacher to coach and the challenges she encountered along the way. One key realization for Beth was the importance of shifting from a "fix-it" mentality to an approach that gave her more energy, time and buy in. This, she discovered, fostered trust and empowered teachers to find their own solutions, leading to deeper learning and lasting change. 

They discuss how coaches can create a safe space for vulnerability and exploration. The episode delves deeper into practical techniques that empower coaches to move beyond simply providing solutions to guiding individuals towards their own powerful discoveries. 

Beth learned how to stop focusing on showing up with advice (which was exhausting) and started to using strategies that allowed her teachers to discover their own answers (some of which she had never thought of). She has increased energy and improved buy in with teachers because of what she discovered.
