I wonder if when I engage with staff how do they listen. Are they just waiting to speak.

I learned alot in the readings about listening. The parts that stood out to me the most were" public vs. private voice and validating does not mean agreeing". When listening it is important to know if the person is being genuine or just surface. As you listen you can be understanding without agreeing with the point of view.

My project will connect to my job directly.  I have created a draft form to use in measuring my progress or attempts at progress as a coach.  This form will have certain goals and focus areas while serving as a data collection tool.

I wonder how different cultural backgrounds influence the way my teachers feel about me when I am a "servant" as compared to a colleague or as a watch dog from Central Office or any other role I am perceived to have.

I loved Ernesto's Ted Talk. He summed up the most organic way to build trust and establish supportive roles. Listening has to be unrushed or it is disingenuous.  He is also a fantastic speaker who commands a room but even if we don't have those skills, we can get people to work together by having common goals and parallel understanding of how to accomplish them.  Jon Lever

Our school has both a tech and instructional coach. My next move is to share what I've learned here and resources with him and hopefully try to get together on a few projects.
I also need to review my notes from last year's Laura Lipton workshops.

Our Questioning and Paraphrasing activity had me wondering. I want the phrasing to be mine so it feels natural when I use it. So I'm wondering how far away from the model I can go in my own voice before it loses intent. Language reveals intent but it feels a bit awkward to prepare a script for something that I hope feels natural to all the participants.

I'm also so visual that rather than a stack of small cards (that I would fumble with) I think a sheet or poster where phrases can be seen across the room is a better way to go for me. Does that qualify as a "next step"?

It's important to connect with people but I am wary of this one. My conversations with teachers rarely cross into what Knight referred to as "private" voice - I'm grateful for that since so much of the work we do among teachers is in the "public" view. I'm wondering if that's a wall we need to cross to be effective coaches.

Sirolli's advice to just stop pushing agendas, listen well and discover passions was really validating. He was so passionate himself and clearly has the experience to say it is a more effective way of helping. (Paul here)

" The people that don't want to be helped, leave them alone." - Ernesto quote from his TedTalk has left me wondering... Am I following the path of the imperialistic, paternal, patronizing society to get my faculty to convert to a way that I think is is just?

"Respond to people." Should I move out of the driver's seat and become a passenger directing the driver to where they would like to go? This is difficult  for me and, perhaps, a great less in humility.

"The journey toward having betterconversations is actually a journey towardauthenticity." Really rang true to me as I have try to navigate who I am in this role and where  I need to go.

I wonder how to shift some components of the culture of my school to one that is more fundamentally based upon meaningful, reciprocal, cyclical collaboration?  How do we shift more firmly from the 'I' to the 'we' Katrina

Share some of these resources with my principal, including the Jim Knight video. Katrina

I loved Ernesto's talk - when he mentioned Richard Branson's autobiography and how in the first 2 pages he never uses 'I' but uses 'we' 32 times that 'wowed' me.  So applicable to education and how we must all work together. Connects so well to Jim Knight's video re: principal support.  Coaches often feel alone - but nobody can succeed alone, and coaches should not be expected to (but often are).  Katrina

I wonder if the questions I ask and the listening I do, helps teachers express more often their private voice or their public voice.

When do we truly make time in our daily, professional lives, to listen to one another? When do we do it at home? And, I wonder, what are the steps to helping other adults become deeper, more expansive listeners?

Am I caring? Am I understanding? Am I being curious? What a great mantra before heading into any interaction. What a simple thing to use to remind yourself that you value others and their time.

Collaboration, to me, feels like such a buzz word lately. I've realized that I haven't quite taken the time to pull apart what are the elements of effective collaboration. I wonder if, as a coach, the power dynamic also shifts the context of collaboration (as in the stances of coaching?). What is the difference between collaborating as a coach and as a colleague?

Jamey E: I wonder if the "Thank God I'm here" attitude that Ernesto discusses is just armor against another person's vulnerability. As in, "I'm uncomfortable with your vulnerability and so I'm going to fix you."

Jamey E: What's next: The use of the word "servant" doesn't sit well with me. I think we have to be aware of the collegial dynamic that exists in one's school already - servant can feel like your someone who can be taken advantage of or walked on. If the school climate is dysfunctional, it can feel demeaning.

Jamey E: Wow! I loved Jim Knight's explanation of the public voice and the private voice. The private voice is so attuned to vulnerability. Listening, as an equal, means your creating space for people to be vulnerable.
