"Bright Morning’s webinars have given me confidence, clarity, and practical tools to thrive as a new instructional coach. Each session is concise and packed with ideas I can apply right away or use for deeper reflection. One powerful question, 'How do you want me to listen to you right now?' has transformed my conversations at work and at home, helping me connect with teachers, family, and friends in more intentional and meaningful ways. Bright Morning truly inspires me to lead and live with purpose."
"I am in my 4th year as an Instructional Coach at my campus, and since transitioning into this role, I have used the frameworks provided from The Art of Transformational Coaching and The Art of Coaching Teams. This year, I am finally seeing the fruits of my team's labor, and it is truly thanks to your guidance. Our campus achieved a letter 'A' grade for the first time in our school's history, and I believe it is a genuine reflection of the powerful transformation that has taken place at all levels at my school."
"The Team Leader Learning Library Skill Sessions are next level! They take the foundational learning that The Art of Coaching Teams sets up and dive into the nuances of leadership and team dynamics. As the leader of my own team as well as a coach for other teams, I have been able to apply my learning from the sessions in real time. The skills are relevant and applicable to the beautiful mess that comes from being on a thriving team. I have witnessed the transformation of multiple teams as a result of applying the intentional strategies from these sessions. The Team Leader PLC has been a space to process the in-depth learning of the skills sessions. Having the opportunity to have meaningful conversations with other leaders has widened my perspective and given me valuable insight into layers of my own growth as a leader and the growth of the teams I coach."
"I have been coaching for over 10 years, and I have found that over the last 2 years my learning around Transformational Coaching has resonated more than any other framework with me as a teacher, a leader, a partner, a parent, and most importantly as a human being. Bright Morning has structured my learning about Transformational Coaching in a way that has consistently grown my practice and given me a community of other learners to guide me along the way and keep me accountable to the coach that I hope to be. I can see the ripples of this work among my staff, our students, and their families. Relational trust has never been stronger among my staff, and I know that it is in large part due to the transformational work that teachers are doing in coaching sessions and with each other. This work is transformational not just in one-on-one coaching sessions and classrooms, but can impact the culture of an entire school! 10/10 recommend to any school leader."
"Transformational Coaching has completely changed the way that I interact with my clients and problem-solve with my team. The conversations we are having are filled with more empathy, openness, and understanding, and leaning into Transformational Coaching strategies has allowed me to trust the process without forcing my fix-it mindset into every perceived problem. For those who are unsure about making the investment, I recommend trying out at least one of Elena's workshops or webinars. This community is talking about supporting, empowering, and developing resilient and effective educators who are ready to meet students where they are, instead of simply focusing on strategy implementation. This is about long-term, transformational change and wholly worth the investment."
"As an Instructional Coach, my Bright Morning membership helped me deepen my coaching skills and stay energized. My favorite part of being a Bright Morning member is getting to learn with amazing presenters and other coaches from all over the world. I especially love working with my peer coaches over multiple sessions - sharing our real-life experiences and things we've taken from these learning sessions has accelerated my growth as a coach so much. And I also really value that my membership allows me to schedule PD when it fits my ever-evolving schedule."
"As a teacher leader and future instructional coach, my Bright Morning membership has given me access to research-based information and precious learning experiences with the coaches during class. My Bright Morning membership has shifted the way I see myself and the impact my work can have on others and their teaching and learning experiences. It continues to support my personal and professional growth. My favorite parts of being a Bright Morning member are pacing my own learning, as well as all the opportunities to watch and be part of live coaching sessions to extend my learning and strengthen my coaching skills."
"The Art of Transformational Coaching workshop is the best Bright Morning professional development I’ve ever been to in ten years. We had time to gain knowledge, practice skills, and develop community! You should attend if you need to develop into a coach who wants to change the world!"
"I just completed the learning experience and kudos to the instructors, set-up, format, and the energy provided to make it the best online training ever! Many thanks to the facilitators for bringing their A-Game to us each time we met. They were skilled in their crafts, personable, professional, patient, and passionate about helping us to embrace the concept of Transformational Coaching. I must say that I am more knowledgeable and confident about moving on as a literacy coach. Thank you for what has been an amazing journey so far."
