Navigating Your Own Mental Capacity as an Instructional Coach

As coaches we work so hard to support others that we can often forget how important it is to take care of ourselves too. But, as Cindy Tisdale-McPhee said on a very early episode of the podcast, for coaches to be present for others, they must take care of themselves first.

This is a special #coachbetter collaborative episode with Kim Cofino and Diana Beabout because both of them have had an extra challenging year, and when they were chatting about how they've managed being at max capacity all year, they realized that some of our strategies might be helpful for you too!

If you're feeling stretched thin - or hoping to prevent that feeling - please keep watching for our 8 tips today!
