At Central Rivers AEA, we believe that executive leadership coaching can make a tremendous difference for leaders in both their personal lives and in their professional roles. For some of our leaders, it’s literally been life changing. (This article from The Learning Counsel explains more about “the why” of coaching and why superintendents should consider it.)
Because we feel so strongly about the difference it can make, our agency has invested in specialized training to extend executive leadership coaching and core energy training to local school leaders. Studies find that when leaders collaborate with executive coaches, they experience a 70 percent increase in individual performance and a 50 percent increase in team performance. These are pretty incredible data-based outcomes!
Our Executive INspired Leadership Coaching Package includes an online individualized assessment. This assessment forms the foundation of the coaching partnership and is initially debriefed during the first session. After that debrief, participants increase awareness of and gain insight into their stress responses.
The package also includes up to nine, one-hour individual executive leadership coaching sessions via Zoom, scheduled approximately every three to four weeks throughout the school year. These sessions provide a confidential space for leaders to reflect on and explore their thoughts, emotions, and actions. By examining limiting beliefs, aligning values and expectations, and problem-solving, participants unlock their potential and enhance their organizational impact, enabling them to achieve personal and professional goals.
The foundational ideas and individualized assessment in INspired Leadership coaching sessions are also available to be delivered onsite to school district staff members through our INspired Leadership Professional Development option. By completing the online assessment and participating in a group debrief of their individual results, participants:
- Enhance awareness of their internal energy (thoughts, emotions & actions).
- Begin to see how their actions (wanted and unwanted) lead to the results they are getting, personally and professionally.
- Understand that awareness is the key that allows them to more consciously choose actions that will serve them and others to get more of what they want and less of what they don’t.
