Workshops and Coaching for Educators

WORKSHOPS

The Three Secret Pillars of Effective Behavior Guidance
Behavior Guidance is the most requested training topic when it comes to Early Childhood and After-School providers. Why is it that, year after year, season after season, we’re still stuck wondering about how to deal with children’s behavior? It could be that all the behavior books you’ve read and trainings you’ve attended are merely a band-aid on a bullet-hole, so to speak. If you know and practice the three secret pillars, you will effectively work with children’s behaviors, and effortlessly create harmony and growth in your practice of working with children and youth. Recommended workshop time: 4 hours.

Stop the Drama!
Nothing is as frustrating as drama in the workplace, especially when our mission is to serve the kids! According to a Gallup Poll, 90% of all workplace discipline issues and terminations have to do with DRAMA (that is people having trouble getting along with other people). NINETY PERCENT. This workshop will show you what DRAMA really is, and how to end it once and for all. Recommended workshop time: 3 hours.

Building Self-Esteem in Children
People need self-esteem and positive self-concept to be successful in the world. We also know that the patterns of self-concept are learned as children. Find out what self-esteem is in this workshop... and how you can build brighter futures for the children and youth with whom you have daily contact. Recommended workshop time: 3 hours.

The 5 Habits of Effective AfterSchool Professionals
Being a person who consistently provides quality care is no accident. It all begins with habits... what you do, and how you do it day in and day out. Yet, most of us are unaware that those habits actually exist! Learn the 5 MUST HAVE habits to be an effective afterschool professional, and how to acquire and perfect them. Once these habits are consistent, work that once was challenging and difficult becomes easy and effortless. Recommended workshop time: 5 hours.

Coaching Staff for Success
When afterschool staff feel empowered, they create a workplace that is exciting, dynamic, and full of life. Turnover all but disappears, and the “flow” of your center becomes one of ease and joy. Find out how, as a supervisor or director, you can create this empowerment within your staff by simply coaching them for success. Recommended workshop time: 2 hours.

Developing Youth Leadership Skills
In the brave new world of the 21st century, new skills are needed from our young adults. And the one most powerful, long-lasting, life-changing skill isn’t really a skill at all- it’s an art... the art of LEADERSHIP. In this seminar, you’ll discover what leadership exactly is- and how to develop it in your children. Recommended workshop time: 3 hours.

COACHING

What is coaching... and why should I have a coach?
The principle of coaching is simple. A coach is someone with expertise in your chosen field that can see the blind spots that you can’t see (and we all have blind spots). 

A coach is someone who can push you to the next level, even when you think you’re completely spent.

A coach is someone who knows you CAN even when you think you CAN’T.

Look at professional athletes. Even the ones that make millions of dollars- they all have a coach.

The work you do with children and youth is extremely important, and will ripple out through time. Given the importance and significance of your work, is there any reason you shouldn’t have a coach?
