    Why Your Coaching Culture is Stalled and What to Do About It with Kim Cofino

    29/09/2026 | 14 mins.
    This #coachbetter episode, Kim talks about one of the hardest transitions to make when you move into a coaching role - and is equally hard for school leaders to support when they hire coaches - is to understand that building a coaching culture, and being a coach is about so much more than coaching conversations. We got into coaching because we want to have coaching conversations, but actually it's all the systemic things and the culture building that's going to make coaching successful.
