Best-selling author and coaching expert, Elena Aguilar, brings weekly tips, tools, and wisdom to educators with one goal: to help you thrive.

In this episode, Elena demonstrates how to use the Core Emotions tool in an especially challenging situation–when a client is struggling with external factors like the state of the broader world– but is resistant to talking about their experience.

Reflection questions:

How comfortable and confident are you with coaching emotions?
Elena shared that most of the time, people share that they don’t want to make someone else uncomfortable; what they’re really afraid of is their own discomfort. Does this apply to you?
What is one thing you heard Elena do that you would like to try on in your next conversation?
