What to Expect
If you’re new to Bright Morning, we recommend starting with The Art of Coaching. You can also find detailed descriptions of our workshops below.

Practice, practice, practice
Skill building requires doing. From role plays to designing sessions and tools you’ll use tomorrow, every Bright Morning learning experience allows you to quickly build and refine your skill.
Safe-ish spaces
We create and hold spaces that allow you to learn and grow. This requires both psychological safety (so you can take risks) and providing opportunities for you to push your developmental edges so you can level up.
Masterful facilitation
Bright Morning facilitators are experts in adult learning who have studied under Elena Aguilar for years. Our team engages in ongoing professional development to continue to hone their craft.

"Artful Design and Facilitation really opened my eyes to the elements that can make trainings really transformational. The breakout group work was very intentional and the participants very engaging."
"Coaching For Equity gave me so much HOPE! Hope that the transformations we need are possible and hope that I can learn and practice and have the conversations we all need to make those transformations in our schools happen. Thank you, Bright Morning team!"
"The Art of Coaching Teams workshop went beyond meeting my expectations. It felt so good to be part of a community of learners who wanted to be there and were so open and vulnerable with their contributions to the learning. I liked the role-playing best. It was scary, but it was impactful to practice real potential conversations in a low-stakes way. I really appreciate the learning experience and would take another Bright Morning course in a heartbeat."
"Hands-on practice in a supportive community is the best way to develop confidence and skills. I felt like a better coach after just the first Transformational Coaching Accelerator!"
"In The Art of Coaching Emotions, no one had a chance to hide behind rhetoric or jargon. We were working. Feelings were centered and truths were told. This is an executive level offering. I'm looking forward to future trainings. Thank you!"
"The Art of Coaching was so practical and inspiring. It is clear that Elena brings a deep well of joy and experience to coaching. The strategies she shared are practical and doable. I feel like I went from watching coaching sessions and thinking "Wow....I'll never know how to do that" to feeling empowered with some clear strategies, thoughts, and question ideas to begin my growth journey as a transformational coach!"
