Coaching Conversations with Jim Knight

Mary Webb + Susie Vaughan


Listen Later

In this episode of Coaching Conversations, we dive deep into the transformative power of coaching in educational leadership. I’m joined by two incredible colleagues, Mary Webb and Susie Vaughn, to explore how coaching can drive meaningful change in schools.


As co-founder of the Instructional Coaching Group, I’m passionate about the idea that coaching isn’t just for teachers—it’s a critical tool for building leadership capacity at all levels. In this conversation, we talk about what effective coaching looks like, how it empowers leaders to thrive, and why it’s essential for creating lasting impact in our schools.


Mary brings a powerful perspective on the evolving role of principals. Rather than seeing themselves as the sole decision-makers, she advocates for a shift toward leaders who empower and support their teams to take ownership of their work. It’s about creating a culture where everyone has the space and support to grow.

Susie, a certified coach and former principal, shares her experience in building coaching cultures that prioritize reflection, trust, and collaboration. Her insights focus on the importance of developing leaders who are equipped to guide others, and she underscores the value of creating a supportive environment where coaching can thrive.


This episode is a deep dive into the heart of coaching—how it can help leaders reflect, listen, and create environments where everyone has the opportunity to flourish. It’s about more than just improving skills; it’s about transforming schools into communities where growth is a shared experience.
