    In this episode of Coaching Conversations, ICG Consultant Jessica Wise looks back at three standout episodes from 2025. Each one pushed her thinking about how we can better support educators and help schools flourish.


    Listeners will hear why connection sits at the heart of real change and why strong support systems matter so much for educator well-being. Jessica also highlights practical ideas for creating schools where mental health is a priority and where people feel safe, supported, and encouraged.


    Drawing on insights from our expert guests, Jessica encourages listeners to reflect on their own practice—nurturing relationships, taking mental health seriously, and building cultures where both educators and students can thrive.

  • Coaching Q&A
    Nov 25 2025

    In this week's Coaching Q&A episode, Jessica Wise and I dig into one of the most important topics in education today: the role of school leaders, especially principals, as instructional coaches.


    We talk honestly about what great coaching really requires, the common challenges leaders face, and why authentic partnership matters so much more than compliance-driven conversations. We also explore what it looks like when leaders show up as true collaborators, using evidence-based practices and meaningful dialogue to support teachers' growth.


    During this episode I also walk through the Impact Cycle, my go-to framework for creating real, sustainable improvement, and share why quick fixes or surface-level coaching won't get us where we want to go.


    Throughout the conversation, Jessica and I share practical advice, encouragement, and real examples designed to help leaders foster genuine change, honor teacher autonomy, and build a culture of continuous learning that ultimately leads to better outcomes for students.
