What is coaching?
A results-oriented partnership involving a thought-provoking, creative process that inspires participants to maximize their potential and engagement. The coach provides individual coaching, small group coaching, as well as wellness practices to support well-being. The coach also provides Strengths-based coaching (in which an individual is taken through the process of naming, claiming, and strategically aiming their Talents for maximum fulfillment and impact), coaching individuals and staff in building resilience, community circles to build connection and positive culture, coaching in developing soft skills such as regulating emotions, finding flow, communicating a clear vision, personal and professional goal setting, as well as Leading in 4 Directions, Growth Mindset, Mindfulness, and Outward Mindset.
Coaching exists to support the "whole people" who work in our district. No matter in what facet you serve, education is a "giving" profession. The district recognizes that in order for our students to receive the best educational experience, our employees need to be fulfilled, connected to purpose, and engaged. Committed to the value of Well-Being, Riverside Unified School District offers coaching to support the well-being of our employees on an individualized basis. Coaching is a professional relationship designed to maximize each individual's potential.
