Calling all ICF PCC coaches preparing your MCC application, wanting to get going with preparing, or stuck in the MCC re-submission space. Join Matthew Cintron-Quiñones, MCC, BCC, SPHR, SHRM-SCP and I for a 3-hour refreshingly pragmatic workshop "Liberating the MCC Application: The Pragmatic BELL Path" 🔔 🛎️ . Date: Fri 11 Oct 2024 - 15.00-18.00 (GMT+2) ⏰ Click on the registration link to see the time in your time zone. We will share with you what we have learned from our own journeys, the journeys of successful applicants we have worked with as mentor coaches, Level 3 course participants, and a die-hard MCC journey group who willingly and enjoyably meet on Saturdays once a month. We've been analysing assessor reports to glean learnings, we've tracked re-submission reports to learn from those, we attend webinars and events, and have far too many zoffees and zees (zoom coffees and teas) than is probably sensible, talking about all things MCC. What we will not be offering is a complaints, laments and pity party - even though we have plenty of empathy and compassion with those for whom the MCC journey is painful. In fact, this workshop was born in response to some of what we heard and we thought "there must be a more learning-filled way that does not require pain 🤕🥲 before gain ✅ ✅ 🌟". Quick and easy to register and pay - https://lnkd.in/dg_PPEQC Included in your 200 USD investment is: ✅ 3- hour workshop - interactive and info-sharing ✅ 1 x 20-60 mins online individual session with either Svea or Matthew - use by 20 Dec 2024, or by arrangement ✅ PDF resource And we promise, plenty of humour, rigorously researched practice-based evidence and ICF information. You may even find an MCC journey buddy. #icfcredentialing #icfcoaching #ingenuity #creativity #coachingeducation #liberation

We often talk about our goals, but how often do we actually pause to celebrate our achievements? A few months ago, I enrolled in the Core Energy Diversity Certification course led by Tonya Echols PCC, CPC, CDE®, in collaboration with iPEC Coaching. This 10-session journey provided a powerful foundation in understanding bias, privilege, and key DEI concepts, enhancing both my coaching practice and personal growth. While I'm proud of this achievement, I just realized I hadn’t taken the time to claim my badge—or to truly acknowledge this step in my ongoing professional and personal development.Celebrating our wins, big or small, is important. So let's do that together! What recent achievement, no matter how big or small, are you proud of? Let’s celebrate them right here, right now! #DiversityEquityInclusion #DEIB #ProfessionalGrowth #PersonalDevelopment #CelebrateWins #CoachingJourney #ContinuedLearning #BiasAwareness #PrivilegeAwareness #InclusiveLeadership #CoachingForChange #EnergyLeadership #GrowthMindset #CelebrateSuccess #iPECCoaching

In an educational climate where making a difference is at the forefront of all of our brains, how can we ensure that everything we do effortlessly holds impact? Hard feedback. 🗣 October 3rd, Seaside will be presenting “How to Deliver Effective Feedback to Faculty and Staff ~ Setting Clear Expectations” at the annual MSAA conference. Level up your communication skills so your words truly make a difference for the betterment of your school or district.

This type of feedback challenges the teachers’ practice and can cause professional discomfort. ⬇ Read below to find out the valuable skills you will learn and practice when you attend our conference. You don't want to miss out! Participants will learn: 🔹 The essential skills and be provided with materials that will result in positive communication for both educators and administrators. 🔹 How to give feedback to staff so they will listen. 🔹 To practice delivering feedback vs. advice 🔹 To identify strategies for increasing peer coaching among teachers in professional learning communities 🔹 The ‘Instructional Coaching Cycle’ based on the work of Jim Knight 🔹 How to establish routines and create tools/protocols that help reduce the need for the difficult conversation 🔹 To practice giving substantive feedback to help build a collegial and trusting relationship between teacher and coach/administrator If this sounds like a workshop you would like to attend, click the image below to navigate to the MSAA website.
