Coaching Call: Balancing Competing Demands as a School Leader with Kathy Patton

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!

This episode is such a great example of the many demands of leadership - and just a single coaching conversation can help you feel hopeful and a sense of direction in moving forward.

In this conversation they talk about how challenging it is for leaders to…

  • Manage the constant shifting from one responsibility to another
  • Rapidly shift their mindset and attitude from one setting to the next
  • Be present in the moment when ongoing issues are lingering
  • Process all the different conversations they have in the day, so they can be better prepared the next time around
  • Develop sustainable strategies to reflect, process and plan for a very busy week
