Have you ever felt like someone was saying one thing, but their body was telling a completely different story? That’s the power of nonverbal communication.

Veronica Love Olalla, CEO of Newfield Network, discusses what we intend to say and what our bodies actually broadcast. Our bodies are the front lines of communication. It's not just about what you say, but how you say it – the tilt of your head, the flicker of your eyes, the subtle shift of your weight. These silent signals can either invite others in or build walls.

Leaders who master the art of nonverbal communication are present, empathetic, and genuinely connected. By tuning into our own bodies and the bodies of others, we can connect to those we coach and lead in different ways that empowers our human-centered coaching work. 

So, the next time you find yourself in a conversation, remember: your body is speaking volumes. Are you listening?

In this episode, Becca dives deep into the concept of learning mindsets. While growth mindset has been a popular focus, research shows that it's just one piece of a larger puzzle. To truly support teacher and student growth, instructional coaches and school leaders must consider four essential mindsets: belonging, growth mindset, self-efficacy, and value & purpose.

The episode emphasizes the importance of understanding these mindsets within the hierarchy of learner needs. Before focusing on instructional strategies, coaches and leaders must ensure teachers feel safe, valued, and capable. By diagnosing which mindset might be missing, coaches can provide targeted support to help teachers overcome obstacles and achieve their goals.

This episode offers valuable insights for coaches and leaders looking to create a more supportive and effective learning environment for all.

We often grapple with balancing the demands of supporting teacher growth while navigating limited resources and competing priorities. In conversation with Linda Rhyne, we explore these challenges and introduce a comprehensive framework for assessing coaching practices. This framework examines four key areas: people, process, product, and culture. By identifying strengths and weaknesses, coaches can optimize their impact on teacher development and student outcomes.
Beyond the assessment, we delve into the broader context of coaching. Clear role expectations, strong administrative support, and dedicated coaching time are essential for creating a sustainable coaching culture. Remember, you're not alone in this coaching journey. With a little self-reflection and a dash of strategy, you can build your practice and make a real difference.

Do you, as school leaders and instructional coaches, find yourselves struggling to bridge the gap between our well-intentioned educational goals and the realities of student learning and teacher development that hinder achieving those goals? This disconnect can stem from a clash between two different types of commitments: stated and competing commitments that impact our everyday school life.

There is a key reason this gap exists: unconscious mindsets and beliefs that can unknowingly hinder the implementation of new initiatives.  Tune in as we discuss competing beliefs and how to work with them to reach our goals. By acknowledging the competing commitments that exist within a school, leaders can bridge the gap between stated goals and causing the results we are authentically committed to producing!

As leaders, we are faced with problems the generations before us did not experience and we are joined again by Dr. Jody Carrington to explore the crucial role of human connection in our schools and how it impacts our educators.  They share why striving for a perfect work-life balance is a myth.
⁠
In schools, we often preach the need for authentic leadership, but are we neglecting our own emotional well-being as well as our teachers? Being authentic requires emotional regulation. Dr. Jody explains how emotional regulation forms the foundation of our authenticity, which in turn shapes the relationships we build. As leaders, she emphasizes that "fixing" everything isn't always our primary role. Instead, prioritizing human connection creates a fertile ground where the real work can grow.⁠
⁠
Dr. Carrington equips us with practical strategies for becoming our most authentic and emotionally regulated selves. This job is about connection, not just results.⁠

Feeling like a broken record? Your clients keep hitting the same wall, and you're not sure why? This episode will shed some light on those frustrating roadblocks.
Science reveals there are two types of challenges: the straight forward kind (like how to load the dishwasher the "right" way) and those that require us to adapt to different sutations (like how to improve engagement in a multitude of situations).  These "adaptive challenges" are why that goal just always seems out of reach. To bust through these roadblocks, this research will show it's not about what you know, but how you think. We'll explore the hidden mental blocks that keep people stuck.

Tune in and discover how to identify these sneaky challenges and finally bridge the gap between where your clients are and where they want to be. It's all about a mindset shift, and this episode will show you how!
