Synopsis- In Coaching Conversations, Jonathan D’Avignon equips middle leaders with the skills to lead impactful coaching dialogues that transform school culture and enhance team performance. Participants explore coaching principles centered on listening, powerful questioning, and trust-building, contrasting them with traditional directive approaches. Through reflective exercises, scenario practice, and real supervision tasks, Jonathan guides leaders in fostering self-discovery, supporting consistent classroom and meeting structures, and addressing policy, performance, and conflict challenges with clarity and curiosity. By the end of the session, participants leave confident in their ability to conduct coaching conversations that promote reflection, problem-solving, and growth—tools they can immediately apply to guide classrooms, lesson planning, and department meetings.
