Coaches are effective and transformational leaders. “The art of coaching is doing, thinking, and being: doing a set of actions, holding a set of beliefs, and being in a way that results in those actions leading to change. These are the three things that can make coaching transformational.” ― Elena Aguilar, The Art of Coaching: Effective Strategies for School Transformation LEADERSHIP / / / / / / / / CSD COACHING PLAYBOOK
