Making a Heart to Heart Connection with Your Kid Session 5 Coaching for SuccessLisa Dolese McClanahan
Helping our kids become independent and wise-decision makers is possible using coaching skills. Learning to listen, ask questions, act and support are the keys to growing our kids into tomorrows leaders!
Social skills and building relationships can be a challenge for children and adults with ADHD.
Issues with social skills usually stem from the fact that they lack the ability to pay attention
long enough to pick up the social cues, that others take for granted. They also are
challenged with impulsivity that leads to a multitude of difficulties, from hurting someone’s
feelings unintentionally to acting out in a physical manner. These challenges can cause
turmoil in the school, home, and workplace.

As children get older, that confidence can be as important as the skills themselves. To thrive, kids need to trust in their own capabilities while, at the same time, knowing that they can handle it if they aren’t successful at something. It’s by experiencing mastery and rebounding from failure that they develop healthy self-confidence.
Being a teacher, there can be nothing worse than coming across an unmotivated student. Come to think of it – All your effort to plan and prepare lessons can go waste if the student is not motivated to do better. Trying to encourage a student can often feel like trying to catch smoke with your bare hands. Teenagers are tough to motivate- every teacher remembers that one stubborn student in every class couldn’t be persuaded to move an inch! Or the ones who’d always do the opposite of what was told. And worst of all, the ones who’d mentally be on some other plane of existence entirely!

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective SchoolsChris Moore
This presentation was given at the EAQUALS conference in Budapest in April 2014.
Abstract: Stephen Covey’s seminal leadership and management book, ‘The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People’, has been consistently voted in the Top 10 most influential business books of all time, and has been widely applied in Fortune 500 companies, governments, and educational institutions around the world.
This workshop looks at how applying what Covey calls ‘7 timeless principles’ to a school can maximise its organisational integrity and effectiveness. We will look at what these principles are, the distinctions between production and production capability, engaging proactively with the space between stimulus and response, and how schools can build a culture which engages with its stakeholders and creatively innovates for the future.

Role of parental influence in making career choicesadhirasable
Children might improve on the off chance that you encourage them to accomplish something tenaciously. At that point, the student may feel sufficiently animated to take up jobs or professions which he felt to be not for him. A tiny bit of motivation can go far. So, never stop short of offering encouragement to your kid.
Everyone admires a self-confident person. We may even envy them a little! Self-confident people seem at ease with themselves and their work. They invite trust and inspire confidence in others. These are attractive characteristics.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Take care if your moral purpose is too twisted up with the need to be right. Determination to do it
your way/ get others to do it your way. People are capable of doing it their way.
Complexity of jumping from emotionally rich situations: teachers' experiences similar to

Peter Block Stewardship
Judgementalism: there are lots of ways of rolling your eyes that aren't rolling your eyes. Clear
false assumptions about other people.
Don't give advice unless it is asked for. We set ourselves up to be the one who knows. Plus we
don't practice good listening. Gottman says ask others if they want your advice.
We shut others down.

- humility
- Hope
- Faith (conversation as a learning opportunity)
- Critical thinking
- Love
Our wellbeing should be nourished by conversation. Also having the other's best interests at
heart. What makes it happen is love.

Do I genuinely want to hear the other person?

Dialogue
Both people are talking - back & forth. Balance advocacy. Ask questions in the way you share
things. Look at a checklist - how would you like to change?
Talked to people regarding listening - learning forward. Cathy Toll - literacy coaching. Work from
partnership perspective. Ask to hear their perspective. What do you know? Not manipulative.
Page 105 Ask better questions
Failure to connect can hinder your career. It can interfere with friendships. It can weaken your
relationships with relatives including your kids. It can even ruin your marriage (Gottman, p. 25).

John Gottman The relationship Cure 2001
To build healthy relationships we have to catch bids people make, and respond to them
otherwise the relationships are unavoidably damaged. Biggest turn away is when the phone
goes
Make emotional connections
Page 114
What do you work on first? How can you get better? Work on it with spouse/ kids. Too often the
people we most need to connect with are those we overlook. Example of coffee and scones.
Name it - deal with it by using the language.
2 questions
(Rank habits from most to least important)
People do something or don't do it - is it worth it & can I do it?
Central to a fulfilling life and personal success. Yes! Spend half an hour each day. One thing.

Not touchy Feedly - hardest work
Practiced intentionally deliberately (what about soft skills like building trust in order to grow trust
for delivering actions).
Where trust exists - results will come.
Covey The Speed of Trust. Waves - rippling. Start with ourselves.
Young adults getting into relationships - stable, reliability built first, then build relationships
beyond team. Market = school.
Start with ourselves to grow the base.
Principals & agendas
How to build from yourself - teachers can do. Share with a colleague. Next step. Power of one/
two/ team.
1. Provide clarity (people are up on what they are in on; don't let them fill the void with their own
understanding)
Students & adults need learning intentions, success criteria and feedback.
What layer are we in at school as far as clarity goes?
What could be done to improve communication in your organisation?
2. Practice consistency - service level achievement
3. Value competency (not just social emotional stuff)
4. Create a safe place to fail
Currently, schools are feeling like it is less of a place they can fail/learn
5. Care for each other. Show genuine feelings. Ripples.
6. Foster contribution. Look for strengths & connection/ collaboration points.
7. Think.

8. Developing a mid to
long term mindset
Commit to the blip & step forward.
They are my supervisor - up to me to
figure out a way to make this work.
9. Focus on the client.
Adult relationships can get in the
way of students' learning. Trust
issues/ connections & relationships
should not tarnish the deal. Kids
know when teachers don't like each
other and when alignment does not
exist. Feel there is no trust.
Can trust be rebuilt?
