Build Your Coaching Practice

A year of training + development for new and developing coaches

Build the structures, skills, and confidence you need to coach well—from getting your practice up and running to navigating the challenges that come next.

There’s a lot to learn when you’re a new coach.

You’re building relationships, figuring out what to focus on, learning how to structure your time, and trying to know what to say when a conversation takes an unexpected turn.

You don’t need to learn everything at once.

Build Your Coaching Practice gives you a clear place to start, ongoing opportunities to build your skills, and practical training to turn to whenever new challenges show up.

A clear path for building your coaching practice

You don’t have to master coaching before you begin. You need a strong starting point—and a proven way to keep getting better.

WHAT YOU’LL BE ABLE TO DO

Build the skills—and the confidence—to coach well.

Coaching will always ask you to respond to situations you couldn’t have predicted. The goal isn’t to have a script for every conversation. It’s to build the skills, judgment, and confidence to know what to do next.

YOU’LL BE EQUIPPED TO:

Build trust from the start

Create the relationships and conditions that make meaningful coaching possible.

Know where to focus

Listen for what’s underneath the surface and identify what will help a coachee move forward.

Have conversations that lead somewhere

Ask powerful questions, offer feedback, and help people turn insight into action.

Build a coaching practice that works

Create structures, routines, and boundaries that make your work more focused and sustainable

Navigate the hard moments

Respond skillfully when emotions are high, resistance shows up, or a conversation takes an unexpected turn.

Keep getting better

Reflect on your coaching, learn from what happens, and continue developing your practice over time.

FOR DISTRICTS, SCHOOLS, AND ORGANIZATIONS

Build a stronger coaching program—not just stronger individual coaches.

When coaches are left to figure out their roles on their own, they can end up working from different understandings of what good coaching looks like.

Build Your Coaching Practice gives your coaching team a shared foundation while helping each coach build the judgment and skills to respond to the people and situations in front of them.

For your organization, that means:

A shared approach to coaching

Common language, foundational skills, and a clear understanding of what effective coaching looks like.

More consistency across your coaching team

Clear expectations for how coaches build relationships, structure their work, navigate conversations, and support change.

Development that continues after initial training

A full year to practice so your coaches get feedback, deepen their skills, and receive ongoing support as new challenges arise.

More support for the people supporting everyone else

Invest in the people who help teachers, leaders, and teams learn, grow, and navigate change.

What Our Community is Saying

"As a team of consultants and external instructional coaches, the Coach Learning Library is giving us a powerful shared foundation for our work. We appreciate the calibration and common language it provides, which has strengthened both our individual coaching practices and our collective approach as a team.

Each month, team members participate in the Skill Sessions individually and then come together during our monthly team meetings to debrief, reflect, and extend our learning. The resources and tools shared in each session have expanded our professional toolkits, not only for our own coaching interactions, but also for the ways we support and develop in-district coaches."

"The Coaching Resistance Workshop had a meaningful impact by giving me practical tools to recognize, understand, and work through resistance in a more empathetic and effective way.

As a Quality Advisor at Prime Time Palm Beach County, it strengthened my ability to build trust with partners, navigate challenging conversations, and support continuous improvement without creating defensiveness."

What Our Community is Saying

"In Coaching Burnout, I grew both my skills and confidence as I learned new layers of coaching and realized how much I already knew. This time of coaching emotions provided a valuable opportunity to practice it with grace and gratitude. It's been a game-changer for my coaching work. I've used these strategies with students, mentees, clients, training participants, and partners."
