This #coachbetter episode is part of our special series featuring real-life coaching conversations with a member of our community. This conversation is with Kathy Patton, Assistant (ES) Principal at International School of Panama. HUGE thank you to Kathy for being willing to record this session to share with all of you!

Rapidly shift their mindset and attitude from one setting to the next
Be present in the moment when ongoing issues are lingering
