#coachbetter Eduro Learning Podcast Network

Our topic for episode 1 is Growing a Thriving Coaching Culture: Introducing the Thrive Model for Sustainable Instructional Coaching. This episode shares an overview of the Thrive Model for Sustainable Instructional Coaching that will set the stage for all other episodes in this series.
Kim developed the Thrive Model after a decade of working with coaches and school leaders around the world. It brings together all of her own experience as an instructional coach, as well as the experiences of her clients, and all the expert guests she's interviewed on this podcast. 
We use this model to structure all of our courses for coaches, and in particular The Coach Certificate and Mentorship Program. You’ll get an overview of the model in this series, and how the three elements of Clarity, Consistency and Community can be used to develop and refine your individual coaching practice and your coaching program in your school. 
This series is designed to be an annual refresh of your coaching practice - even if you’ve heard some of the episodes before, every time you listen, when you reflect back on your growth over the last academic year, you’ll be able to take something new away to apply in your practice in the next academic year.

In this #coachbetter episode, Kim talks with Lesley Tait, Head of School, Lincoln Community School, Ghana.
If you’ve been listening to the podcast this year, you know that Christina Botbyl and Kim Cofino recently published their first book together, Finding Your Path as a Woman in School Leadership. Earlier this year, they hosted a podcast launch party to announce the book (Listen to Episode 226) 
This episode is a perfect follow up to that conversation, because Leslie is an experienced senior leader and she highlights many of the common experiences that women face on their path to leadership (highlighted in the Women Who Lead interviews in our book).
On this call they about Leslie’s path to leadership, how (and why) the path to leadership is often different for women than for men, what schools can do to recognize aspiring and growing leaders, and how they can use coaching to support the development of more women leaders in their school community.
This episode is a perfect blend of coaching and leadership - if you’re curious about the ways that coaching can grow leaders - and what to expect on the pathway to leadership (as a woman) this episode is for you!

It’s that time of year again! If you’re an international school educator, you might be returning back to your passport country - for the indefinite future when this school year ends. Are you thinking about what it might be like to re-patriate? What to expect when you move back home and things aren’t quite what you expected?
Then you will love this clip from a previous episode of #coachbetter where Kim spoke to 4 experienced international school educators, Emily, Kristen, Maggie and Diana who had recently moved back to their passport country after a significant time overseas. Kim asked them what one piece of advice they would give others in a similar situation.

This #coachbetter episode is a special combination case study and coaching call with one of Kim's amazing clients, Paula Plaza-Ponte. 
These episodes are real client stories - designed to give you a window into the experience and professional growth of coaches around the world. 
Kim has been working with Paula for many years now, and although she’s no longer working full time in a school, her experience of going through the transition from classroom educator to education-aligned work in a non-profit is a story that deeply resonates with Kim - and we hope it does with you as well!
