Directors, coordinators and supervisors are faced with ongoing pressures in their leadership roles. As leaders, instead of reinforcing the positives in our programs, we have a tendency to focus on what needs to be fixed. This affects what we believe, and what we believe affects our responses, interactions, relationships, and our understanding of how best to support and motivate adults. These actions directly affect our programs.
This session is designed to help leaders explore their own beliefs about other people and their actions. Leaders must understand how to build relationships to motivate staff for common goals. This requires knowledge of effective communication, an understanding of adult learners, and how to build relationships through a strengths based approach.
Coaching is the key component which enhances communication and relationship building with staff. This session will explore practical coaching techniques to influence change, growth, and achievement in your organizations. Francis Institute for Child and Youth Development has created Strengths-Based Coaching®, a practical model for enhancing the coaching role of administrators and other leaders in the early and school-age care and education community. It is based on early childhood research in the business and education fields. These foundations create a positive environment for making and sustaining change.
All sessions are 1.5 hours long, and include a brief announcement from our sponsor.
2:oo PM – 3:30 PM Eastern Time.
