Providing high quality early learning and childcare is one of the most important jobs anyone can do for children and families. But it is very complicated, very hard work, and sometimes it is easy to get discouraged or wonder if we are doing right by the children, their families, or our staff.
Solution focussed coaching is a gentle, friendly and sometimes even playful way of looking at problems and finding ways forward. We get to answers by discovering (or rediscovering) our strengths and new, often exciting, ways to use them.
But it is also an oasis. A space away from the noise and bustle to think, to be heard and to listen to ourselves.
Having a coach can help with all this. Not to be told what to do, or what you are doing wrong, but to have a friendly ear to listen and a positive but constructively critical companion to help solve problems or just be there for you. It can be a one-off, or sometimes people like regular sessions for a while. A short try out session is always possible.
