The Art of Coaching Emotions

Navigate emotions in your coaching conversations, and learn from their wisdom.

Coaching emotions can be intense and intimidating. When teachers are overwhelmed, frustrated, or resistant it can seem like you’ll never make breakthroughs to serve children. But it doesn’t have to be this way. 

When you acquire knowledge and skills, coaching emotions can be satisfying, and even joyful. When you effectively coach emotions, you catalyze growth and unlock the potential for transformation. 

The Art of Coaching Emotions workshop takes you deeper into the knowledge and skills introduced in Arise: The Art of Transformational Coaching (2024). It enables you to support clients to experience their emotions as sources of wisdom that spur their growth, not as obstacles that keep them stuck. 

As you learn to coach others around their emotions, you’ll also see your own emotional resilience increase. The ability to coach emotions will transform your coaching conversations and is the key to creating joyful, resilient, equitable places of learning where everyone thrives.

What Our Community is Saying

"Focusing on emotional intelligence for both myself and colleagues I will be coaching was very impactful. Emotions are so important to identify and validate so that we can continue the hard work that lies beyond and intertwined with our emotions. I think coaches, admin, and leaders should attend!"

"Being coached by Elena and fellow participants helped me experience how grounding in conversations in emotions and provided resources can help a client center their thoughts and feelings into words."

Kristen W.
What Our Community is Saying

"One of the richest impacts has been the web of understanding that’s building around our district as four of the curricular leaders participate in this same membership AND as more and more of our staff members participate in other trainings (Art of Coaching Teams, Coaching for Equity and/or Taste of Coaching for Equity). Having a common frame of reference and range of experiences has changed my learning into a richer, deeper, more powerful community learning experience."

Rebecca L.

"In my experience, Bright Morning has always provided relevant, applicable, 'just-in-time' tools that have enabled me to build my practice on solid ground. My Bright Morning Membership has been the silver lining of my year. This offer has paid off exponentially. All learning experiences have added a new layer of understanding for me. Now that I’ve experienced the benefits of a year-long membership, I really can’t imagine going back to a 'once-a-year professional development' approach."

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!
