​Dr. Cristina Compton
As a coach, one of my first moves while working with a teacher is to identify their strengths and highlight areas in which they're already capable. Educators need feedback, and in many cases, the coach can see what the teacher doesn’t. Once we can point to the things that are going well, the work can begin.

Everyone has a strength to bring to the table. As coaches, our role is to help each person identify — and maximize — the strengths they have to offer.

What motivates people to make a change? Research shows us that people are more productive and improve their skills faster when they're in a supportive and encouraging environment that values their existing strengths.
