Educational Leaders and Educators
Early Childhood Educators, are extremely passionate individuals who give their all to the children and families they serve. Working in a kinder or Long Day Care environment can be “full-on,” leaving workers feeling overwhelmed and exhausted.
By educating staff about how we are hardwired to communicate and connect, we can help them become more aware of what drives their own and others behaviour. Increased awareness and the chance to learn new communication strategies will serve team effectiveness and enable educators to have better conversations. When people communicate well, they achieve more together than they are able to achieve alone.
I offer face to face or online Conversational Intelligence training, large and small team coaching and individual coaching to apply the learning in real time issues. Raising the team’s communication and connection skills leads to more satisfied staff and better outcomes for families and children.
