Episode 79: Essential Coaching Skills That Can Make You a Better Leader

Welcome back to another episode of #coachbetter! Today Clint and I are chatting with James Macdonald, Senior Vice President of Education at GEMS Education. Clint and I worked with James when he was Head of School at Yokohama International School in Japan, and I was fortunate to work with him again when he was Head of School at NIST here in Bangkok. Today’s conversation explores the different elements of coaching that are essential to be an effective leader - and how your coaching expertise can help make you a better leader. James’s extensive experience with a wide variety of school cultures and curriculums allowed us to have a far reaching conversation about when and where coaching fits best. For school leaders or coaches interested in understanding how and when to invest in coaching as an educational intervention, this episode is for you!
