Hi everyone! Tammi, innovation coordinator from Duluth, MN tweeting from in Orlando!
Yes:) I'd love to Skype. Let me know what works for you.
Let's get started! Question 1 coming up!
Listening, asking better questions, building relationships over making a point.. all very new muscles for me!
Q1 How can putting empathy into practice in a concrete way help us as educators/coaches?
Hi from Minnesota. and I have been discussing the 6 beliefs. Great conversation.=)
A1: Empathy helps us gain perspective & walk in another's shoes. Also helps strengthen relationships, which can lead to growth.
it's a pretty awesome place, I agree!
A1 immediate trust builder relationships first
Hi I've been away for a while but I'm happy to be here tonight. Kristin, new teacher mentor, from OR coast.
Jennifer from Hermiston Oregon. I'm the assessment coordinator- joining late because of Greenland ceremony.
"everyone...experiences greater well-being when they are heard, respected and engaged."
I think I'm mad actually but I love it! Didn't want to miss it
A1: Empathy can be an equalizer in a conversation so everyone is coming from a similar place
I think I have heard claim that empathy might well be the key skill for the 21st Century.
Q1: Truly having empathy for someone begins with understanding. We can't understand unless we listen closely and intently.
Jay from Merton, WI checking in a bit late to . Hope to learn a lot tonight!
A1 If empathy exists, a safe, comfortable conversation where parties are equals can take place.
Listening is such a critical skill for coaches! https://t.co/MgnGnCCy6I
Q1: Truly having empathy for someone begins with understanding. We can't understand unless we listen closely and intently.
A1-when we consciously practice empathy, recognize effects, we see power it has in establishing trust; eventually becomes habit
A1: empathy puts us in another persons shoes. Being able to understand where a person is coming from helps understand where to go
A1. The ability to understand (thru listening) & share the feelings of another creates a strong basis for a relationship.
A1: When we are empathetic, we are more likely to hear others b/c we see the connections. Connections can lead to authenticity.
A1 Empathy is key to building trust in a relationship - encourages vulnerability so critical to growth/change
Empathy is at the heart of it all, don’t you think? Without empathy there’s no learning, no relationship.
A1 empathy leads to a greater understanding of where the person's coming from and that makes for better relationships
A1 Empathy means understanding how a person feels. Let the teachers know you've been there and get it. https://t.co/xVtfwlXHW3
Q1 How can putting empathy into practice in a concrete way help us as educators/coaches?
A1 Opens us to listen w/intent rather than directive/indirectly judgmental;helps us focus on teacher ideas rather than our own
A1: Practicing empathy w/ others builds trust. Perspective is reality-we don't have to agree, but we have to try to see.
"Communication is the lifeblood of coaching & the more effectively coaches [do it] the more effectively every1 learns"
Hello . Knikole from TX checking in for . Excited!
Hello . Knikole from TX checking in for . Excited!
. strength and build relationships.
A1: Empathy helps open ourselves to other perspectives and allows a strong foundation for rship building. https://t.co/ANzJGW59cn
Q1 How can putting empathy into practice in a concrete way help us as educators/coaches?
A1 Empathy is where it is at. Builds trust, opens our eyes to new perspectives. Puts focus on US rather than ME.
And to serve as coaches, relationship is key. Without relationships, we are unlikely to see much growth.
Another Jennifer from Oregon, joining late (just finished dinner). was sharing article in math committee
Sorry, I'm a bit late...Jessica, instructional coach from TX
A1: empathy allows us put ourselves aside and consider the place of another and connect to him/her authentically
Joining in late but excited for tonight's chat!
A1 Empathy allows you to hear between the lines... "our relationships thrive or die depending on how well we communicate."
A1: It helps organiztions go from ME to WE
A1: Empathy is reciprocal and builds safety in relationship among coach, admin, teachers and creates model for students.
These are such great comments about empathy
& really try to listen to understand
A1 It is important not to empathise silently - we demonstrate empathy through our words & actions
Welcome to everyone joining in! Right now we are talking about empathy.
A1 I read an interesting article in Marshall Memo this week about empathy. It's worth the read!
Q2 What prevents us from having the better conversations that writes about to impact learning in schools?
A1: It helps organizations go from being a ME to a WE
Ooooo I like that' to hear between the lines'
love that - hear between the lines
A1: Empathy helps coaches connect & show respect for the work of teachers-first step to trust and relationships needed for growth
A1: Empathy can also allow us to see others as "full partners" to quote
Model empathy for tchrs & sts-it's all about building a better me so I can support others.
A2 Dedicating the appropriate amount of time, not enough trust in the relationship. Both can be "fixed". https://t.co/VeQoIV98O5
Q2 What prevents us from having the better conversations that writes about to impact learning in schools?
A1 if people recognize empathy in us they are more likely to feel safe and open up authentically
A2: Our egos- too much talking/ directing & not enough listening/ reflective questioning; lack of practice or reflection
I love this. Suggests that people are less likely to judge, label, etc. We are safe to be authentic.
A1 Empathy builds partnerships, valuing another's point of reference
A2: Time is often the answer to "why can't we..." questions in education. This one, too... Real conversations take time.
Agree! Do you think that this is one of the most challenging habits for some? Esp leaders?
A1: empathy as a coach means I put myself in Ts shoes-LISTEN to T w/o my own ideas clouding their thoughts & feelings
Fear, pride, lack of trust, rejection,
empathy is not thinking only of yourself but being compassionate towards the needs of others. Taking the time to hear them out
I agree...I think not dedicating enough time is one of my biggest barriers. Need to make it priority.
A2: fear, being able to open yourself up and being vulnerable
A2 We become so passionate about our own ideas we speak much & neglect to listen
A2: Having the training to shape the way we communicate with each other. Everyone is accountable if we want a better outcome
A2 Sometimes it is our own thinking that we know the answer. Everyone is in their own place-need to understand that first.
A2: Ego, fear, not seeing the partnerships, not sharing the conversation, bad listening skills
A2: When the time isn't taken to actually listen and be fully present in convos
A1 Having empathy for others creates a level of transparency for the mentor and mentee. https://t.co/NjxbKRvzs7
Q1 How can putting empathy into practice in a concrete way help us as educators/coaches?
A2 I thinking improving as a communicator takes the same kind of work as any other habit, but we don’t realize that.
A2 relationships take time no matter what kind so we must make the time to have the conversation and to sustain it
Hi! Nice to see you back at
A2: It can be time, but I tend to think developing "better" conversation skills would allow me to serve even in short convos.
A2 feat, pride, lack of trust, rejection
. Good point! Reflection is so important.
A2 Education has been in a "telling" frame of mind for so long. We need to continue to open partner conversations and listen!
Great point - glad you wrote this book to help us!
I make all of my meeting times 30 minutes, whether we need all of the time or not.
Practice and reflection can improve our coaching and communication skills. How often do coaches receive coaching?!
A2: Listening is a skill set that you have to practice, but listening doesn't mean you have empathy for that person-it's more
Practice makes permanent! https://t.co/SV0F7FCkmg
A2 I thinking improving as a communicator takes the same kind of work as any other habit, but we don’t realize that.
Yes! I think none of us makes enough time for true reflection.
A2: Deeper conversations can be hard or lacking when the relationships aren't authentic...fear on both ends
Love this - "Telling" frame of mind. This is true
Such an insightful point made in your book. I felt like I was starting therapy as I read! https://t.co/JWNjbSFCTe
A2 I thinking improving as a communicator takes the same kind of work as any other habit, but we don’t realize that.
A2 fear, pride, lack of trust, rejection
Yes its no longer filling containers.. its a give and take dance! https://t.co/deA04siC8K
A2 Education has been in a "telling" frame of mind for so long. We need to continue to open partner conversations and listen!
A2-educators so inundated w/what matters top down; we forget what we BELIEVE about lrng, then convos feel inauthentic/unfocused
A2: Time is a HUGE factor for me.
A2 I've really started evaluating my habits to ensure they match up with my true intent...making changes https://t.co/aLJT7CmU5b
Q2 What prevents us from having the better conversations that writes about to impact learning in schools?
Good idea ! https://t.co/HExrxIBGFz
I make all of my meeting times 30 minutes, whether we need all of the time or not.
A2: Not taking time to build rships, focusing on light goals, not heavy goals. https://t.co/pcyphI7bKP
Q2 What prevents us from having the better conversations that writes about to impact learning in schools?
"Our schools are only as good as the conversations within them."
A1: Empathy says, "I hear what you're saying." It doesn't say, "You are wrong."
A2: Developing these skills is difficult work. Important but tough. It will be a process and we often want results now.
A2: Fear of being exposed and being truly known keeps us from diving into hard conversations and getting better.
A2: focus on task/outcome often reduces dialog and interaction in the name of efficiency https://t.co/9VF4br16pj
Q2 What prevents us from having the better conversations that writes about to impact learning in schools?
Q2 Time gets in the way, but also ego-thinking there is one right answer and we know it. Also, a need to be a fixer
"Communication is the lifeblood of coaching, & the more effectively coaches communicate, the more effectively everyone learns." p3
You're leading into the next question! ;)
I agree. I real myself in sometimes when I realize I'm sharing with a T how I would do "it".
listening with intent to understand; respecting& honoring the worthiness/contribution/perspectives of others
I think modeling is the key tool. That's what I'm doing with both my students and the teachers I work with.
A2. Because teachers like to fix things, or at least believe that we are fixing things.
Yes. So many enter coaching thinking they know more than others, which sets up negative relationships. https://t.co/kJSCnw2fIB
Q2 Time gets in the way, but also ego-thinking there is one right answer and we know it. Also, a need to be a fixer
My favorite from chapter 1! https://t.co/s744iNWjWG
"Our schools are only as good as the conversations within them."
True, but we give our time to what we find is valuable, right?
A2 Changing habits is hard - how often do we just wish for things? The self-coaching approach is potentially very powerful here
REALLY important to data conversations, don't you think, Aaron?
We do like to be fixers, don't we. Struggle is sometimes hard for us to watch - so important in the growth process
Yes! Noticing exposing myself to those I support truly does opposite....gives them courage https://t.co/qXUVnXjyqM
A2: Fear of being exposed and being truly known keeps us from diving into hard conversations and getting better.
agreed! Not enough. I have monthly coaching sessions w/ my supervisor-this is a 1st for me
I've been wanting to call you! Working on some innovative school design&would value your wisdom&experience.
Listening is a habit of mind that is not easy to develop. When u do, u hear the experiences of many & can learn from them.
That's great! I was a coach of our district coaches in my last job- so important to continue learning.
Yes, we own it and are responsible for it. I like this idea too.
“When coaches are focused on looking wonderfully clever, they do not listen long enough.” (Tina Breene)
we like to refer to it as productive struggle...but so true!
Devote a significant amount of time to build a meaningful relationship with meaningful dialogue
Q3 Confession time: What bad habits did you identify with that could be hindering better conversations as you work with staff?
A personal goal is to stop trying to be a "fixer"; instead to strive to be an awakener
Improving as a communicator takes the same kind of work as improving any other habits
A2 I found Ch1 quite confronting - brought to mind least +tve rel'ships - what if positive regard for other is not reciprocated?
And that's a shame. It's the same sort of crippling perspective that keeps us from tackling other new challenges.
A3: I need to work on slowing down & building the emotional connections.
Not you. :) (I think we all probably feel like we do - you aren't alone!)
A3: talking more than I listen. Wanting to show instead of prompt the T to make the connection/reflection themself
A3: I make people feel rushed...even though I am empathizing, they don't have time enough with me to feel it...must slow down
ouch. That one hits close for many of us and one time or another.
A3. I am working on being present in conversations. I’m way too easily distracted.
been explor comm& coaching inclu. twitter, fb page and google classroom spaces for conversations to take place
A3:talking too much is my bad habit... trying to find a balance and improving my questions
A3 Early on I was too wrapped up in HOW my responses sounded to deeply listen...
A3: I used to not be an active listener. I'd like to be thinking about the answer instead of hearing the whole problem
That's great to realize and admit- and curable with practice! ;)
A3 Provide answers/suggestions when should just listen, saying "I did that too and here's how I fixed it" https://t.co/3QK2l85mkw
Q3 Confession time: What bad habits did you identify with that could be hindering better conversations as you work with staff?
A3: I talk too much on occasion out of ego, out of excitement. I want to "help." Nonetheless, a bad habit. So, I got the book.
A3: I tend to over-schedule myself so i don't always have time to prepare for conversations. judgements before complete listening
A3: I have ? ticks-ones that I found to be good at first, but now overuse, sometimes in the same convo
A3: Rushing thru a convo b/c I have to get somewhere. Need to schedule more uninterrupted time to talk.
A3: I'm working on listening to understand, not just respond.
So many coaches I've worked with have struggled to ask open-ended, reflective questions w/out judgment. https://t.co/JkhO4FiY65
A3:talking too much is my bad habit... trying to find a balance and improving my questions
A3. Giving my own personal exp./what I've done/what I would do/not completely listening.
I definitely do that. I schedule back to back mtgs with no time in between.
A3 thinking about how to fix the problem instead of active listening fix fix fix
It's easy to be distracted by our technology and the next thing to do, but being present is so important.
A3. Not thinking about how to respond but just to listen completely & being comfortable with silence *or thinking time.
Yes I do a bit of that too!
Nail. On. Head. https://t.co/lVTwtvZoBp
A3. I am working on being present in conversations. I’m way too easily distracted.
A3 Today I know that if I give the T the gift of TIME to talk often they uncover solutions themselves 😜
So important. And remembering not to have the "answers" predetermined.
A3 Focusing on the solution more than the process
A3 I can be a better listener....listen for understanding not to respond
A3: failing to even notice the "radical brokenness" describes quoting Desmond Tutu; our painful isolation
I've done the same, a lot. Using a calendar tool like youcanbook.me has really helped.
Q4 In your role, how do you ensure the person you communicate with is a full partner rather than an “audience?”
A3-I am working on less consulting; more elevating understanding of T's own craft/expertise through coaching conversations
A3 I go too fast and I talk too much.
I do the same 😔 Trying to fix the problem right away instead of helping Ts get to their own resolution. https://t.co/lqBAdLzXOL
A3: I used to not be an active listener. I'd like to be thinking about the answer instead of hearing the whole problem
I tend to feel like if people see me sitting, reading, reflecting too often then i'm not 'busy' enough with kids/Ts
Yes, it's hard to suspend judgement and just ask to learn and empathize.
A3:guilty of telling what I saw going well or areas to grow instead of asking questions that lead to T reflecting & seeing 4 self
A3: Talking over potential pause space; must listen to more than words to expand others' sharing opps https://t.co/0AqOFDfx5m
Q3 Confession time: What bad habits did you identify with that could be hindering better conversations as you work with staff?
A3 In invited coaching relationship, I have better conversations than I do in "leadership" or collegial conv's.
A3. I've worked at listening & being present, ongoing challenges. I wish to become better at asking questions & timing them well.
A4: Ask questions that provoke meaningful dialogue; find a balance between talking & listening; be present!
Me too! I've started some mindfulness practices to emphasize listening
I need to work on this one too. Way too easily distracted.
one of my favorite quotes!
I struggle w/the same...sometimes I leave a convo and I'm not sure I could really recall what was said https://t.co/THeFn9cFX2
A3. I am working on being present in conversations. I’m way too easily distracted.
A3: Challenging myself to take the "I" out of convos w/Ts to ensure not taking them on a walk down memory lane with me
A3 Giving people the time to exhale as we engage in dialogue!
Improvement of questions is HUGE with me too. It's like figuring out the big idea and the critical Qs on the fly
A3 taking time to consider personal bias and worldview. Easy for me to forget this
Thank you, yes poor habit. I use a calendar tool but I say yes way too often or squeeze in this and that
Yes. Had that experience today. T just needed to talk through lesson sequence; I just listened & questioned.
Check out to catch the great conversations regarding the value of empathy in education
A4 I try to always position the person I talk with as the decision maker.
A4 I try to listen twice as much as I talk, but I'm not very good at it. https://t.co/URrT3pbfK5
Q4 In your role, how do you ensure the person you communicate with is a full partner rather than an “audience?”
I couldn't agree more. I started limiting what I bring w/me so u focus on the T.
shiraleibowitz: PrincipalJ KathyPerret Me too! I've started some mindfulness practices to emphasize listening ,http://ift.…
When we feel like we can "fix" something we don't give enough credit for the value of the struggle
I think we all need to recognize the bias we bring into any conversation. https://t.co/gifA5ZClIr
A3 taking time to consider personal bias and worldview. Easy for me to forget this
A4: asking them to pull out evidence from their Ting to support their perspective on skill acquisition
A4- Establish expectations for both parties from the onset. Commit to quality interaction, feedback, conversation.
A3 everyone appreciates the SILENCE in conversation-this is when people process/deeply think!!
A4 include them in the conversation, question, leaf them to next steps, turn it over not take it over
This is so me too! Need to practice being in the moment..in the convo. https://t.co/jZxq18nLhw
A3. I am working on being present in conversations. I’m way too easily distracted.
A4: Start with questions about their goals for students or teaching
A4: I try to ask questions $ simply practice keeping my mouth shut. Listen closely first & make sure T's ideas are the focus.
A4. This is something I struggle with.
A4: Asking a questions and stopping to ensure they have time to answer...provide wait time
I tend to talk too much and try to solve other people's problems instead of supporting them in solving their own problems
Exactly. That's been the most challenging part. It takes time and practice
A4: Balancing feedback, questions, and reflectiveness, and wait time.
A4 I do preplan possible questions, but tune into conversation and let it flow where the coachee needs it to go.
A3: I struggle w/ defining the end result and not creating a space for the growth to unfold
A3 In "hard conversations" it can be difficult to genuinely maintain principle o equality and to suspend judgement
Q3: dominating the conversation. I also think I don't make eye contact with people.
A4: Recording my convos w/Ts from time to time to make sure I am mostly asking Qs and Ts are doing most of the talking
A4 Set goals as a team and work through them but also be wary that there may be other paths that need following along the way
Been reading spiritual educators - Parker Palmer, Elizabeth Lesser, Rachel Remen. Alan Moranis. There are more
A3 I am a linear thinker so I want people to just do it my way because it makes the most sense. I didn't always see that before
We just had a staff meeting, where we were told to say "no" more often. Permission granted
Wait time is critical, but easy to skip when time feels rushed
absolutely and yet most people download the same old words and same old thoughts as they defend worldview
I'd be happy to share some
A4 Oops, some how got last months q4
A4: know when to be a coach; know when to be a friend; know when to share what you struggle with, then ask for THEIR advice
and when we approach as "fixers" we are not seeing T as an equal in convo
A4: Ask a lot of questions and paraphrase back what the person says to ensure common understanding.
A4: Choice w/ goal, ownership of G, clarifying perspective, ? impact goal will have, ? they feel is our partnership action
A4: sit next to each other for convos, share noes taken, set goals with action steps
A4: At 's suggestion, I pause before responding. A personal mindfulness practice has helped with this. But still hard.
A4 Ask them what they think...how can I help you...let them lead the conversation https://t.co/CBnMZOo8wj
Q4 In your role, how do you ensure the person you communicate with is a full partner rather than an “audience?”
Q4 I do lots of presentations so it is hard to transition out of the presenter mode. I like asking what they think to engage them
Q5 What are your thoughts about exploring both your beliefs and habits in order to have better conversations?
Yes. I try to leave my phone in my pocket and take notes on paper.
Yes. This! Our role isn't to spoon feed solutions; it's to have a convo that's meaningful to audience https://t.co/xLQcbi0fl1
A4 I try to always position the person I talk with as the decision maker.
A4: I try to ask more open ended guiding questions so it's not like a ping pong match b/w me and teacher
A4: ask partner genuine questions that open my perspective-how or why did you choose to... https://t.co/9qE2Hm2N2X
Q4 In your role, how do you ensure the person you communicate with is a full partner rather than an “audience?”
Great goal - reason for 2 ears and one mouth, right?
A4: I try to ask more open ended guiding questions so it's not like a fast paced ping pong match b/w me and teacher
A5: The better we know ourselves, the more likely we are to grow as communicators. Adult lrng starts w/ prior knowledge!
A5 I think that could be scary. I'd need a coach/mentor to help me with this. https://t.co/NcA0Itk4Ed
Q5 What are your thoughts about exploring both your beliefs and habits in order to have better conversations?
A5 I think working hard at improving as a communicator is one of the best ways we can spend our time
I have suggested a 50-50 coach coachee talk balance with a 25% coach to 75% teacher as a goal
Yes I try 2 get them into conversation when I'm presenter makes for more interesting outcomes I'm not only expert
Maybe an upcoming chat topic
A4B Second semester goal setting was T lead...identified what they wanted to work on and how they want to be supported.
That's what my dad always said.
A4 Nature of conversation & clarity of intent much clearer in a scheduled coaching session
A5 I love how open the group is on areas they need to improve. Shows commitment to exploring beliefs/habits!
A5 I love how open the group is on areas they need to improve. Shows commitment to exploring beliefs/habits!
A5: totally dieing to video my convos and start diving into reflection and practice of better habits!
A5:I try to be in tune w/my own biases so that observations are data collection opps so that conversations r not abt me but the T
A4: I think it's also important that we also let people know we learn from them too..we are not just providers of knowledge
A5 Have to figure out where you are and what you need to work on in order to grow and improve.
A4: By starting the convo with a Q, and being the primary questioner in the discussion. Talking w/ is better than talking 2.
A5: This was the most important part for me. I strongly recommend the reflection guide that accompanies the book for this.
A4 be intentional with the design of the conversational space. Minimize power differentials, create space to co-create
So intrigued by this idea. Need to devote some time to reflecting on it soon! https://t.co/PFyWTnpTyf
A4 I try to always position the person I talk with as the decision maker.
Good questioning and paraphrasing is crucial for this positioning https://t.co/jWAFvZBkay
A4 I try to always position the person I talk with as the decision maker.
Welcome, ! Glad you could join us tonight! https://t.co/vjAf6lSzHD
I have suggested a 50-50 coach coachee talk balance with a 25% coach to 75% teacher as a goal
A5 I am excited about the impact this will have not only in my professional life, but my personal life 2. https://t.co/cMUsVzRPjQ
Q5 What are your thoughts about exploring both your beliefs and habits in order to have better conversations?
A4 In "regular" conversation outside of coaching sessions - key is being more interested than interesting
A5: If you don't do this as part of your continuous improvement, you shouldn't be a coach
A5 I believe you must believe in the coachee as creative, resourceful, & whole. Must check if I am doing that. .
Most educators don't have formal training in adult learning theory, coaching or communicating. book can help!
I started leaving my phone too. I only carry iPad for notes. Nothing else.
about time someone mentioned the reciprocal learning relatinoship :)
A5: With "Belief" being my 5th Strength, I believe they influence my habits and perceptions quite a bit.
A5: If I work on getting myself out of the way- I can work to improve my listening and expressing empathy to the other person!
Love this-how or why ?s create power in a convo https://t.co/ftVhPHLzBe
A4: ask partner genuine questions that open my perspective-how or why did you choose to... https://t.co/9qE2Hm2N2X
Q4 In your role, how do you ensure the person you communicate with is a full partner rather than an “audience?”
A5 knowing who you are is imperative this brings awareness & concious efforts in effective communication not just coaching
A5: Through writing, I've come to a much clearer (yet still developing) understanding of my habits. Tough to face but important.
A5. With experience, I feel they may/will naturally work together.
I like this. I will begin checking myself.
I like this - more interested than interesting
Q5 I want to make changes but am afraid of what others say if I give them the survey in reflection book https://t.co/IQXAeodKBw
Q5 What are your thoughts about exploring both your beliefs and habits in order to have better conversations?
The Reflection Guide to Better Conversations https://t.co/lRLJw56qHk - VERY HELPFUL COMPANION to Better Conversations!
Very interesting that you have been able to quantify this piece Steve.
A5: this yr I've worked hard to dive deep to explore thoughts, beliefs & imbalance in character traits; painful&expanding
if you are not doing that, you are not coaching, you are consulting. .
A4 Will encourage Ts to think of and discuss specific look 4s they need from me.
and also shows that you have built the trust and security for candour - even in online environment!
A4: Try to have teachers develop the questions for our coaching based on what we see together from observation.
A5-I've had the honor of receiving coaching from and where I learned to ground my actions in beliefs about lrng
Yes as I read I cld relate 2 personal & profess experiences. Validated my thoughts & was also a mirror https://t.co/kLAfYPk8JN
Most educators don't have formal training in adult learning theory, coaching or communicating. book can help!
A5: I believe when we recognize our imperfections then we can accept ourselves as who we are and improve
A5: We need this.
The person who thinks he doesn't need to explore his habits needs to do so most! https://t.co/hFzdof4SOp
Q5 What are your thoughts about exploring both your beliefs and habits in order to have better conversations?
“If knowledge is power, then self-knowledge is a game changer” unknown
A5: I am looking forward to this two pronged approach-have been working on habits-assuming beliefs relate https://t.co/6zUeW08OKc
Q5 What are your thoughts about exploring both your beliefs and habits in order to have better conversations?
One of my Ts was so happy today because I told her I was stuck..her advice was great https://t.co/F4N1gQEPLX
about time someone mentioned the reciprocal learning relatinoship :)
A5: Emotional Intelligence is at root of convos; we deal w/ a lot of emotions. We have to practice so we can be present for them.
Exactly, it's that internal reflection piece that aids in our improvement. Looking forward to the recording portion
It is a painful and personal process - no matter how much you believe in earning and growth.
Survey feedback can be brutally honest, but also honest points of peoples' perceptions of reality to reflect on.
A5: A good leader knows their strengths & weaknesses. Seek improvement!
It is scary&painful; &transformative; I'm working on it deliberately this year, it is really hard
Amen 😍 https://t.co/9sf0AVsVNS
A5: I believe when we recognize our imperfections then we can accept ourselves as who we are and improve
Yes! I was trying to say this. https://t.co/OeeumjPCvf
A5 knowing who you are is imperative this brings awareness & concious efforts in effective communication not just coaching
A5: Shouldn't knowing what u stand 4be integral 2 earning trust w/ Ts u coach? Otherwise Ts are left guessing your tru intentions.
A5 Open...and scared.It's hard to change things you do without thinking. https://t.co/rb3dtwHwsj
Q5 What are your thoughts about exploring both your beliefs and habits in order to have better conversations?
I was worried about this, too. Chose 20 people. Did it anonymously. I trust that they were trying to help me. It was OK.
A5: I am excited to continue to reflect and practice the habits and beliefs from the book both on my own and with colleagues
I like the way you put that. Creates a great sense of urgency. Thanks!
Yea, me too actually. Kind of nervous about what I'll find, too. :)
A5 Knowing yourself assists in getting to know others that's when empathy kicks in
The surveys can help staff realize your need to continually learn and grow as a coach. https://t.co/NmnlTKk0Qk
Q5 I want to make changes but am afraid of what others say if I give them the survey in reflection book https://t.co/IQXAeodKBw
Q5 What are your thoughts about exploring both your beliefs and habits in order to have better conversations?
But that's the only way to get better as a coach/educator so it's worth it.
A5 Exploring beliefs and habits can make us better at conversations, teaching, just about anything we do
A5 it helps you to see where you are at and where you can grow from in what direction
I agree, we have to recognize ourselves first. Strengths and weaknesses!
A5 This is a must do for all educators, even more important when there's an authority differential https://t.co/Tb11xj4IB9
Q5 What are your thoughts about exploring both your beliefs and habits in order to have better conversations?
awesome! Great reflection tool/ practice!
Definitely. I remember my student teaching videos, watching one on conversations will be eye opening
I need to work purposefully on this! https://t.co/yeUcJqe5nT
A4: By starting the convo with a Q, and being the primary questioner in the discussion. Talking w/ is better than talking 2.
A5 In exploring beliefs & habits has very skillfully unpicked the nature of conversation
I am so energized by this chat right now!
personal learning is painful;we have to acknowledge who we have not yet become&stretch tomove toward that possibility
Q6 Have you watched yourself communicate on video? What was the experience like? What did you learn?
So many great ideas here I can barely keep up.
Absolutely!! https://t.co/SMvTDzqONA
A5 Knowing yourself assists in getting to know others that's when empathy kicks in
A5: Building relationship with others (coaches, admin, TEACHERS) that include them coaching ME in my practice.
Such a great problem! I'm right there with you!
A6: I have listened to audio to reflect, but that missed the facials/where I move in the room, etc.
Only wish I had started sooner; could have avoided so many failures
A6: The video portion of National Board process was stressful for me, but such a great learning experience! Everyone should do it!
I'll archive the chat! :) Love all the ideas flowing tonight! https://t.co/ALYceOSxzy
So many great ideas here I can barely keep up.
A5 found Ch1 exploration of beliefs & habits confronting & challenging - & I thought I was having better conversations already
by modeling to the teachers we work with that we are willing to learn, grow and reflect, we walk our talk in a powerful way
What is the best way to use the companion for coaching coaches and principals?
Nice to know that growth feels like that for others and that others will help/cheer us along!
A6 Watching myself on video was humbling, and actually made me feel ashamed, but was also incredibly valuable
A5 just as important, you have to believe you are creative, resourceful, whole as a coach
A6: It's very hard, but it's basically the best free PD out there! Mind blowing and it gets better the more you do it.
A6 I realized I walk around a lot and might be difficult for the students to follow. And I'm loud. https://t.co/mU9N06uev2
Q6 Have you watched yourself communicate on video? What was the experience like? What did you learn?
A6: I have recorded conversations w/ a few Ts. Noticed some interesting things-when I broke rapport, time spent talking, etc.
Our instructional coaches use video in classrooms, but I haven't yet used it when I coach them. Time to change that.
A6 No, but I tried when teaching & was good to listen to my questions & tone. It's humbling. I should do it more.
A6: Haven't videoed myself yet. I already know that there are some words I say too often. Need to identify mannerisms and tone
A5: I have watched myself on video and it was surprising. Very different than how I thought I was communicating.
A6 Although I find it terrifying to watch myself on video, it's also the most powerful tool I've used to grow myself as a coach
A6: I've seen myself teach and present PD but never a coaching conversation. I can only imagine the flaws!
A6: I've watched myself teach many times on video, video reflection of coaching sessions is on my goals' list!
A6 I've been videotaped giving presentations -I found I ask a lot of Q of participants.
Q6 absolutely was scary at first, but great reflective practice. Just started video taping my coaching sessions
A5 When you stop learning, you stop growing...welcome the feedback
We designed the reflection guide to be used along with the book in book studies or in workshops
I had focused so much on joy/positivity; I neglected other necessary emotions; moving now toward wholeness, I hope
A6: Watching myself communicate on video can result in some unproductive self criticism at times if I'm not careful.
That's great! audience participation
I use a guideline to know what the teacher is thinking before I share my thinking
Good point! We are often our worst critics. Better to be purposefully reflective.
You learned from your failures, right? Video may speed up process, but there would still be failures.
Me, too. Thanks for sharing that.
A6 Just recorded myself yesterday with .After reading, I was intentional on few things. https://t.co/l1bjAcSlRT
Q6 Have you watched yourself communicate on video? What was the experience like? What did you learn?
A6-video reflection is way out of my comfort zone; last time I did, really obvious I was trying too hard to look the expert-ugh!
A6 Have videoed presentations & a couple of coaching sessions - gives powerful, confronting, irrefutable picture of reality
" time to change that.." My new motto after reading this book! https://t.co/hhRYYMumSy
Our instructional coaches use video in classrooms, but I haven't yet used it when I coach them. Time to change that.
There are many ways 2use the reflection guide. It is full of reflective questions & tools to guide better convos
focus on the positive! when you focus on the negative that's all you'll see #
Need TRUST & belief in process to record conversations, lessons etc. Mandating more destructive than constructive.
Learned more from the failures than the successes
A6 I have listened to myself give an explanation or directions, and watched myself give a speech but not a conversation.
thank you! You are correct-I do need to do that. Thank you! Thank you!
Ooh, hello ! You're back for 2016!
Yes otherwise seems all 1 way - I actually love hearing what they have 2 say-gets me thinking, challenges, empowers
Agreed - self-compassion needs to sit right next to us when we do this!! https://t.co/5pXRJrL0tB
A6: Watching myself communicate on video can result in some unproductive self criticism at times if I'm not careful.
Thanks for that encouragement. I appreciate it!
A6 Anyone tried for videos? It's easy and requires no one else. Trying to get more staff to give it a try.
We are using in a two person book study. Working well!
A4 by being transparent & clear about purpose of & roles within the conversation
Q6 not for 10 years or more. But I discovered today and want to try that
A6: Helps me to decide on 1 or 2 things to review on tape beforehand. Make small goals, monitor, practice, and celebrate
A6 I videotaped a few times years ago. also asked colleague to critique and debrief. It is definitely time to do it again.
A6 solitary reflection can reinforce personal bias.Better 2do this in context of community. Work 2gether towards self-realization
I watch my videos twice. First time, allow myself to be critical. Then watch again to reflect. Works for me.
A6: I videotaped myself for my supervisor 1x. Liked that I could see what I did well. I tend to be hard on myself.
A6 Using video helped me see the GOOD and the areas to improve. A coach helped me see the good things I did during coaching convo.
That is on my NeedtoLearn list!
I love how everyone expects themselves to be awful on camera in a Convo. But maybe we have strength to discover
I had to do it in CoActive Coaching Certification. Powerful. Mentor coach listened & provides feedback.
A6:helped me to identify strengths & weaknesses myself instead of waiting for feedback from evaluator. I am a tougher critic.
We have several & use for T reflection and peer coaching. Using it on myself now.
A6: It was uncomfortable at first but provided so much insight not only into my coaching but my coaching conversations
A6: No I haven't...it is one of the things I said I wanted to do...kind of awkward/difficult to get it all set up...suggestions?
Let me know if you have any tips on using the ! We're beginning to explore using them on our campus.
A6 Using video is confronting for most people at first - stick with it & use different "lenses" & it can be revalatory
i've used the swivl doc a few times with mentee teachers, works well if you have the correct device
A6: Recording is way outside of my comfort zone--willing to take the leap though!
Yes . We've found a great tool for teacher-owned lesson data generation.
A6: Recording will be a new experience for me; I anticipate learning much!
Are those all of yours!!! Good idea! Mine are in a closet at home.
Learning from failure...that's iteration. We should all be embracing this, Cc, Ss & Tt alike
A6: I need 2videotape myself more regularly as eflection tool. Did it when my boss couldn't make observation,but need 2 do so 4 me
video taping presentations is a great idea, i'll have to add that to the goals list too
I love the idea of watching the same thing with a new lens of focus! https://t.co/FAfwx920Mf
I watch my videos twice. First time, allow myself to be critical. Then watch again to reflect. Works for me.
This! We must model celebrating just like all of the other pieces of goal setting we want Ts to do. https://t.co/lAwQtu2fFK
I love how everyone expects themselves to be awful on camera in a Convo. But maybe we have strength to discover
A6 I have been video taped teaching or presenting many times. Powerful tool.
A6 make sure to get written permission before recording! .
I agree with you-I remind myself we have to be comfortable with being uncomfortable...it's how we grow! https://t.co/wBs29XadSW
A6 Although I find it terrifying to watch myself on video, it's also the most powerful tool I've used to grow myself as a coach
Q7:Jim suggests that to improve as communicators we need to be intentional, practice, and use video.. What do you think about this?
Ask person you're talking to if it's OK. Prop your smartphone against your coffee cup.
I'm clinging to my last few days of holidays! Plus I have two small children to distract me.
https://t.co/RuN7lhRwXy
Q7:Jim suggests that to improve as communicators we need to be intentional, practice, and use video.. What do you think about this#educoach
Let's try to do one of our book talks to start!
A7 I think yes absolutely though it can be a terrifying thought - but very rewarding
You can do it! It is important to not focus on just one
I also enjoy metacoaching-inviting another coach to listen in on a convo, then offer feedback to me
we've used it-Ts seem to like it too. Would love to get more in our building.
A7:yes&have the courage to be vulnerable; to own where we are not acting w/integrity - where our actions don't reflect our values
A7: I can see the value & need to do this more often. Reflecting on ourselves can help identify strengths & areas for growth.
Watching is tough, but benefits of better communication are enormous, & we don't improve by hiding from reality
A6. Yrs back, had daughter record me teaching. Small steps with low risk for tchrs (& coaches) to build trust & confidence.
not sure it s either or. Both are good together
similarly "community reflection" can lead to mass thinking / echo chamber effects.
Just make sure they're away from Ss. Like to use w/ Teams for timestamped notes
A7 I think we need a trusting relationship in order for video to be used effectively. https://t.co/Hq4bsXQZLG
Q7:Jim suggests that to improve as communicators we need to be intentional, practice, and use video.. What do you think about this?
Yes! Faculty devt professionals get frustrated w/o this insight https://t.co/CPa74TYHlQ
Most educators don't have formal training in adult learning theory, coaching or communicating. book can help!
Data, including video, can be the best PL for teachers looking to hone their classroom craft https://t.co/wvCJ8OfVcF
Sounds like a great experience! Time and support to learn and improve.
A7: those are the core practices of becoming a better teacher, so it seems appropriate it can only improve communication greatly
A7 there us much to be gained by observing - especially ME!!
A7: Coaching is about intentionality and he is saying if we don't treat communication like a skill, we won't improve as coaches
Running off now but if you have any book recommendations, send them my way! It's been good to sit back and listen to (read) ideas!
I have! I love it. I take it into classrooms 4 Ts.I'd love to also get more staff to initiate own use.
A7: Intentional conversations are a must, and both parties should know what the goal of the convo is
or not speaking your truth.
A7 what's the point of it's not intentional? Video gives a new perspective for growth in practice
A7: Practice is key. With some Ts I've know for a while, I simply ask if they'll practice w/ me. We all work to improve together.
A7: being intentional ensures we grow skill by skill. So record, reflect, prioritize, practice, REPEAT!
Yes, I wish all coaches got more of this kind of feedback! https://t.co/Qvw48wHslS
I also enjoy metacoaching-inviting another coach to listen in on a convo, then offer feedback to me
That's my second semester goal.
It's been painful yet expanding; deepening creativity; focusing on changing myself, hoping the rest will follow
Thank you all! I have to step out early. Look forward to discussing more of the book!
Q8 What questions do you have for while he is in the chat with us tonight?
A7: No better way to assess our current reality as a coach than video. It doesn't lie, and usualy provides clear next steps.
A7 Without video where you can actually see how it goes, it's too easy to say and believe "I don't do that..."
Wow. "We don't improve by hiding from reality." Get real, real quick! https://t.co/yTYd4xq966
Watching is tough, but benefits of better communication are enormous, & we don't improve by hiding from reality
A7: intentionality w/action-oriented steps is imperative to growth & improvement process. Video is a powerful tool to support!
A7: It wasn't video, but I learn a lot from reflecting recorded my parent phone calls.
A7 Agree as is practice for Ts but also need to ensure that I use same regularly for self improvement. https://t.co/6vfCRAzLJj
Q7:Jim suggests that to improve as communicators we need to be intentional, practice, and use video.. What do you think about this?
once it becomes part of culture & practice, video becomes an accepted, almost invisible tool. 1/2
A7 I love the idea of watching with the support of a coach to help us look for "strengths" as well as tiny next steps to practice
Students don't notice any more & teachers look forward to the information. 2/2
relates 2 prior tweet I made about intentional design of conversational space. Yes, it's a risk but we work to minimize

That's a great idea. Thanks for sharing! I'll try that out!
A7:coaching a T who needs me to video for NBCT. Maybe I'll invite her to video one of my convos first; build trust/vulnerability
You share such reflective thoughts and ideas, I can't see how that wouldn't happen.
YES. As a coach, meta-coaching is such valuable learning.
Yes I've found that when recording my own... it's convincing others
A7: intentionality-best way to approach and improve, especially skills used regularly & taken for granted https://t.co/NXtFS4kO9R

Love this model for peer coaching too. https://t.co/vbOm3wcGwX
A7 I love the idea of watching with the support of a coach to help us look for "strengths" as well as tiny next steps to practice
Intention is so pwrfull & yet w/out practc & rflctn intention can = far from reality https://t.co/sHQYEFzB94
Q7:Jim suggests that to improve as communicators we need to be intentional, practice, and use video.. What do you think about this?
It's a work in progress; as am I
A7 the video provides a mirror. Sometimes it's hard to see but with a growth mindset it can be our best tool
Truthfully, it happened by accident. I recorded a call I was anxious about, reflected on it afterward, & saw benefit.
Video helps expose all our nuances and even our unspoken body language.
Yes. This type of thing helps us examine the nuances of our communication habits.
the facilitation can be designed to mitigate it.
Most definitely. Or having another coach watch the video of the interaction
Reflection Guide is primarily questions to push you to think deeper about the materials.
A9 Listen more, talk less, guide to improvement through reflection, get staff using ! https://t.co/niSO5GfV0x
Q9 What is your personal learning goal as we move forward in reading this book?
we offer a range of data generation tools; when Ts realise they own the data they become more willing to take risks
A7: Great point! I'm realizingI have an audio option on Notability that I could be using for myself while coaching.TY
Yes communication is key. It has to be open and 2 way. https://t.co/UyOKhNnpRG
A7: Coaching is about intentionality and he is saying if we don't treat communication like a skill, we won't improve as coaches
A9: Self-assess using the graphic, narrow focus, gap analysis, create an action plan on the focus, monitor using data
a little from column A, a little from column B. think on your own, explore ideas with others.
A9: Work on stronger good habits while squelching those bad habits hindering better conversations.
Isn't that a wonderful thing? I take comfort in knowing that I am a work in progress - freedom to make mistakes.
often things emerge in video that are unexpected; the data leads to new insights or foci.
Thanks Jim. See you in Oz soon? I owe you a dinner
A7: I will make videotaping a more regular practice for myself not just Ts I support.
Q10 What are insights you have gained from tonight’s chat or something new you want to try?
