What are WELLNE

Coaching Groups?

Leadership can be deeply rewarding and unique for women, requiring specific types of growth and support in professional development. In particular, women leaders need “safe (to & from) space” to speak their truths, learn from one another, and build collective capacity to thrive in the  face of the unique challenges ahead…

WELLNE Coaching Groups are designed to be such a place and provide a trusted “3rd space”  away from home and work where women in education leadership can connect, reflect, and grow  alongside peers.

This is not traditional coaching. Instead, we have designed  a “horizontal coaching” model, shown to be more effective for women leaders than traditional hierarchical coaching and/or mentoring. By bringing together a diverse group of women leaders across the stages of their career, we will build a community that:

  • Empowers women to make the choice to pursue and thrive in the education leadership, whatever that looks like for them

  • Supports one another through decisions related to different aspects of our work including those related to one’s own trajectory.

  • Shares resources and provide support and “critical friend” feedback for one another as we pursue our individual and collective professional endeavors

  • Develops a network of fellowship and camaraderie with like-minded professionals

 Over eight, 2-hour online sessions over the course of the year, members will:

  • explore an anchor text focused on leadership, professional growth, or navigating complex leadership dynamics

  • share insights, ask questions, and support one another in a confidential and supportive setting

  • when possible, work with the author directly or other guests to dive deeper into the issues

  • reflect on leadership challenges in real time

  • build meaningful professional connections with other women leaders

  • gain perspective and advice from peers and an experienced facilitator

  • develop strategies for career growth and long-term leadership success

Coaching Groups are how we
“Go to the Well” to replenish & grow…

If you are a woman who works in a school district PK-12 Central Office administrative position, or if you were recently promoted, and want to learn more about how to access and thrive in leadership positions, reach out to us. We want you to do WELL!
