The True Impact of Coaching: A Coach & Coaching Partner Case Study with Nikki Hume & Amber

This #coachbetter episode is another in our series of coaching case studies, with one of Kim's amazing clients, Nikki Hume, an elementary art specialist, and her coaching partner Amber Shortridge, a kindergarten teacher, both at the International School of Manila in the Philippines. While Nikki was in The Coach Certificate & Mentorship Program she coached Amber as one of the steps in Phase 3: Grow Community.

These case study episodes are designed to share the story of a coach, and the development of their coaching program and practice in their unique setting.

In this conversation they talk about

  • How Nikki started her journey to instructional coaching

  • What made Amber interested in being coached as a classroom teacher

  • What their work together looked like and why it was impactful for Amber

  • The coaching skills that Nikki developed throughout this process

  • The outcome of their work together

  • What Nikki and Amber think teachers and leaders need to know about coaching

  • How Nikki grew so much in her coaching practice during The Coach Certificate and Mentorship Program

Coaching and structured professional growth are very different, and this episode deeply unpacks the power and outcome of a true coaching experience. If you want to better understand the impact of coaching and see and feel what that looks like in person, this episode is for you!
