Back to EpisodesNavigating the Hidden Mental Load for Instructional Coaches with Kim Cofino and Diana Beabout
Description
In this #coachbetter episode Kim and Diana talk about the mental load that coaches carry - and may not recognize. This is a topic that came up during a previous #coachbetter episode with Kim Porter. This is something that, as coaches, we may feel, but may not recognize how it impacts our work - and the work that our coaching partners have the capacity for.
In this episode, Kim and Diana will unpack what we mean by "mental load" or "cognitive capacity" and how and why understanding everyone's (including our own) limited bandwidth has such a huge impact on our coaching practice and coaching culture.
If you're feeling like you, your colleagues or your coaching partners are at max capacity right now, we can relate - and this episode is for you!
