Coaching Nuts and Bolts (NEW)

Build simple systems that make coaching easier to manage and more impactful.

From Conversations to a Coherent Practice

Coaching Nuts and Bolts is for coaches who want a proven approach to the practical logistics of coaching over weeks and months with the same client, and the confidence that comes from having reliable tools in place.

In this workshop, you’ll build the practical structures that support coaching across an engagement—including coaching cycles, session structure, note-taking, and follow-through.

You’ll leave with tools you can use right away to make your coaching easier to manage and more effective over time.

In this workshop, you’ll move back and forth between expert instruction and hands-on application. 

You’ll examine examples of coaching cycles, session structures, and tracking tools, then adapt them to your own coaching context and caseload. You’ll practice building a coaching cycle and cadence plan, draft a session plan you can reuse, and set up simple routines for notes, prep, debrief, and follow-through tracking. 

By the end, you’ll have a cohesive set of systems you can use right away to keep your coaching organized, focused, and consistent over time.

My favorite part of being a Bright Morning member is the access to the incredible resources associated with our membership. Bright Morning is already generous with the free tools they provide educators and, as a member, there’s even more access. Another favorite part of my membership is that the incredible trainers actually show us how to use the tools in Elena’s books for full impact. I’ve learned so much about myself and my work and have leveled up my skills as both a coach and trainer. This membership is the gift that keeps giving!
