"I am so grateful for this knowledge. I had no idea about the vast amount of strategies and tools that are available, and after attending The Art of Transformational Coaching (in-person), I now I feel very equipped to begin my journey into Transformational Coaching. After attending, I highly recommend this course to any educator or coach seeking to build foundational leadership coaching skills or enhance their current practice. The course provided me with structured approaches for planning and executing effective coaching conversations, equipped me with targeted focus areas to guide client engagement, and helped me organize my thinking to develop strategic, impactful support for those I serve."

"The Art of Transformational Coaching workshop has significantly transformed my perspective on coaching. I now possess a strong ability to apply the knowledge and skills of a Transformational Coach to create a positive impact and influence on others."

"This workshop supported my understanding of Transformational Coaching, and provided so many opportunities to “fumble forward.” I felt that the learning and support was superb, and made so much growth personally and professionally. I highly recommend this workshop to any and everyone who works with others, even if you are not in a coaching role. After attending my practice has changed because I now focus on the whole person, rather than just the coaching task. The workshop helped prepare me for a transition from a general education teacher into an instructional coach role. I feel more prepared to centered the client, teachers in my case, and their values, culture, and identity in coaching sessions."

"Prior to starting The PD Workshop, I was looking for a way to make professional development a more intentional and meaningful experience. During professional development workshops, there is sometimes no built-in time to reflect and develop the ideas further. Also, there is often no follow-up after the event to see what learnings have taken root. The PD Workshop helped me to incorporate the what, why and how into many areas - not just professional development. I have built in time for pair sharing, small group work, and collective sharing."

"After attending [Coaching for Equity], I have been able to be more strategic in using questioning to make conversations equity-focused. I have also been able to conceptualize the idea of equity conversations in a broader context. I have included some of the protocols learned in professional learning sessions I have facilitated and in coaching conversations as well. I recommend this workshop to administrators and coaches and district leaders as they support teachers and schools in becoming equitable places for all."

"As an applied educational neuroscience specialist, I've been searching for the right strategies for transformational collaboration that moves the level on the necessary paradigm shift in public education. This type of partnership with administrators will lead to profound and ongoing improvement of student outcomes because it acknowledges the neuroscientific needs of the educator, which are no different than those of our students."

"My work with Bright Morning has equipped me with the tools and strategies needed to cultivate opportunities for educators to be grounded in their beliefs, behaviors, and ways of being. For an educator to come into a coaching conversation identifying as feeling “frustrated, resentful, and irritated” and in 20 minutes of using the Transformational Coaching tools and strategies, seeing them reidentify as feeling “accepting, eager, and optimistic,” speaks to the impact of this approach. That educator felt empowered to handle their situation in a way that would have a positive impact on all involved. The power of Transformational Coaching is in its attention to the people who are navigating systems that were not designed or built to support them. Each learning experience is rooted in growth and development, from foundational coaching skills to navigating power dynamics as a leader and facilitating meaningful adult learning, all while maintaining a commitment to “every student, every day."

"This is one of the best workshops I have ever attended! The presenters were amazing and the content was relevant. There is so much I could say about this workshop! I feel educated, empowered, and rejuvenated through the open and honest conversations I had in the sessions!"
"You always create an environment where I feel I can process my thoughts and feelings. Things are engaging and teach me new ideas, and I especially enjoyed doing it with people I knew. I think it made it more meaningful."
"I loved the opportunity to engage in meaningful discussion, build community with others, and take away concrete strategies and tools that I can implement in my school environment."
"I just completed the learning experience and kudos to the instructors, set-up, format, and the energy provided to make it the best online training ever! Many thanks to the facilitators for bringing their A-Game to us each time we met. They were skilled in their crafts, personable, professional, patient, and passionate about helping us to embrace the concept of Transformational Coaching. I must say that I am more knowledgeable and confident about moving on as a literacy coach. Thank you for what has been an amazing journey so far."
"Elena’s presentation was fabulous, just as we expected! We are so grateful to her for her words of wisdom and the actionable steps she outlined for us in supporting and growing our resilience. We are also grateful to the Bright Morning Team for facilitating such a smooth process."
“Resilience is critical to navigating our current times. This keynote provides tangible anchors to nourish and develop resilience as we all support each other during a global pandemic and racial reckoning.”
“I cannot tell you how many people stopped me during the conference to share how meaningful your keynote message was to them. Thank you for helping open up a space in our network to have a more intentional, thoughtful, and explicit conversation about educational equity moving forward.”
