Episode Notes: -Teacher, H.S. Administrator, worked for the State Department in Kentucky, and a middle and high school expert, and worked nationally with schools on instructional improvement and instructional leadership. -Coaching Redefined Book- instructional leaders can have a guide book of how to set it up effectively and all of the components that go into it: growing yourself to growing your school and thinking of the culture of the school. It came from a desire to make it work and from real experience in a coaching and admin role. -Intentional Instructional Moves Book- it sets up what classroom instruction should look like based on research and the intentional steps to get there. The audience is to teachers because they are the ones who will make these shifts. It is also powerful for admins or coaches, but it starts with the teacher shifts. -Actions speak louder than words, teachers see what we are doing as coaches. We need to be humble in our position, and know we are all learners. We are not the people who know it all. Coaches can show that they are still learning too. -Ask reflective questions. Have a listening tour prior to meeting with a teacher. Constantly ask questions, ask for feedback, and all the nuances in between. See the best in people as coaches. -We need to believe in the teachers' ability to grow constantly!  -Listening Tour - when schools try it, they think it is the best thing. It shapes the coaching within our school. A respectful approach to how we lead. It can change your trajectory in how teachers in your school see coaching.  -Get clarity around your role as a coach. See the website for questions to ask and the admin when entering that role. They understand the parameters and protocols within that role. -Recognize the positive part of the instructional methods. There is a lot of research as to how individuals are recognized for their positive work,  engaged deeper in the work, and is connected to retention. All is important for us in education right now. We need to recognize the positive things teachers do.  -Provide timely, honest, and consistent feedback. -Honest conversations can go a long way. Critical conversations grounded in the third point of data can also be powerful. -When we look back, we can remember which teachers believed in us, respected us, and loved us - and we know the ones who didn't. And for those who did, we would do anything in the world they asked us to improve.  -We need to have collaborative goals set with our teachers.  Research shows  that goals can bump our productivity from 11 to 25 percent. Think about that per classroom. A clear goal set with that teacher could make a huge impact. That has to be a collaborative goal. -We need to differentiate as coaches for educators. If we expect teachers to model differentiation for our students, we also have to model that differentiated learning.  -Research shows that our walk-throughs should take between 3- 10 minutes. If the goal is right you will be able to see it in that amount of time. Sometimes we can spend too much time. Then they miss out on other classrooms. If we can get in more often but for less time we will see greater growth in those educators we are coaching.  -We have to be very intentional with our time and our feedback. We have to think about the small steps.  We have to be mindful of their next step, not necessarily where we want them to be. Those can at times be two very different places, but focus on the small steps. Think about not the end mark, but the next small step in that learning progression.  -Intentional Instructional Moves - it outlines those big concepts of effective instruction, and breaks it down to intentional steps, and a virtual guide to have all the resources for each strategy.  -Human growth and psychology research and podcasts can be helpful. Listen to the podcasts and it can impact your work. -Take accurate notes- so we can see what we are doing so we can get where we are trying to go. -Coaches are collaborators of content and that partner for growth, that understands teachers do not come to school as a blank slate. They have other things going on outside of the school. We all need the support of other humans.  -Embedded coaching has the largest impact on student learning. It is hard because it is so important. It is also equally rich and rewarding.  -Find yourself a community of coaches and latch onto them. It is how people see things they need to see within themselves.    Connect with Sherry: -reflecttolearn.com - newsletter sign up there -Twitter, Instagram & Facebook

Our episode this week looks at an under-appreciated concept for reflecting on, and gaining new insights for your next career step or business idea.We go on a journey with Claire to learn about a ‘World Listening Tour' that Greta did some years back. She had decided to leave her intense role at (RED) and wasn't sure what she wanted to do next, nor even which country she should live in!This dilemma about what next prompted Greta to put together her very own listening tour to learn what had been happening in the world outside the bubble of her all-absorbing (RED) role, as well as discover what other interesting things were happening in the space she was interested in. At the same time, she figured, she'd also get a ‘feel' for whether she'd want to live in particular cities or not. In this unique episode we share:What a Listening Tour isWhat Greta wanted from her ‘World Listening Tour' How she secured her meetings, sometimes with amazing people What you need to consider to have your own successful listening tour, andHow you can have one these days without leaving home. What we love about the concept of a Listening Tour is that there's no limit to the kind of topics or themes you might want to explore. And, as you'll discover, through curious and well prepared conversations with contacts and strangers, a lot of insight can come. Perhaps a Listening Tour is exactly what you need now?

In this episode, the fabulous Rochelle Moulton, business coach, cohost of The Business of Authority podcast, and now(!) creator of her new podcast, Soloist Women, shares her journey from working with small boutiques to focusing primarily on soloists and creating a platform for women to share their stories and expertise. A few takeaways from Rochelle's episode:Redefining Wealth: Wealth is not just about revenue. It is the balance of what is important to you and brings you joy–whether money, free time and/or flexibility. We each get to define our own version of wealth. This redefinition of wealth is especially important for soloist women because we often face distinct challenges due to traditionally shouldering domestic responsibilities. The perfect mix isn't static, and may change during different seasons of business and life.The Importance of Building Assets: Don't underestimate the value of your unique knowledge and methods. Turn your methodologies and processes into valuable assets like books or unique tools, like creating licensable content or training programs. But be careful not to fall into the trap of misfit ideas that don't align with your business model.The Power of Listening: Rochelle embarked on a Listening Tour to understand the challenges soloist women face, their aspirations, and what frustrates them. By truly listening to their stories and experiences, she gained valuable insights that helped shape her offerings and connect with her audience more effectively. I particularly love this lesson Rochelle shares about listening tours that I can't hear often enough: “They gave me the sales copy for the landing page, because they told me stories. They told me experiences. They told me things that had happened to them. They told me what they did not want. Like they were so clear about what they didn't want. And I use that language on my website.”Don't miss out on this empowering episode of Hourly to Exit! Tune in now on your favorite podcast platform, and let Rochelle's story inspire you to embrace your own journey to success.

Episode 4 of the Ask the Law Firm Seller Show includes 2 segments. In Segment 2, host, Jeremy E. Poock, Esq., presents the following “Poock's Post:” Why Growing Law Firms Need to Invest Money & Time Post-Sale. As Poock explains, Growing Law Firms need to invest time and money post-sale because the benefits of a “Listening Tour,” followed by adapting and adopting, leads to Senior Attorneys and lawyers at a Growing Law Firm (1) Working together; and (2) Benefiting from the “Trust Transfer” of long-time clients and referral sources of a Senior Attorney to attorneys at the Growing Law Firm. As Poock also points out, if Growing Law Firms do not invest that time and money, “both sides will not realize the tremendous opportunity that growth by acquisition presents to Growing Law Firms.”

Many CPAs work super long hours and go for periods of time where their head is down, getting the work done. But when your head is down and you're busy, how do you take the time to find out what your clients truly want? Here today to talk with me about this is my guest, Rochelle Moulton.  Rochelle turns consultants and big thinkers into authorities. She earned her consulting and big thinker stripes leading introverted brainiacs at some powerhouse global consulting firms like Towers Perrin and Arthur Andersen. But even better, she has built, led (and sometimes sold) more than a few 6, 7 and 8-figure consulting businesses. And earned the equivalent of a second MBA building authority brands and businesses with hundreds of soloists. She has recently launched a mastermind to build wealth in the form of money, time, and flexibility, for soloist women in the expertise space.    Highlights: — ”In a listening tour, you're going to ask your ideal clients or prospects a very specific list of questions to get insight into something that you're trying to figure out, like a new product or a new program.”  — ”One the kinds of questions to ask, I'll open with something about their business, to make sure that I understand where they're coming from.” — ”What we think our audience wants is not necessarily what they actually will buy.” — ”A listening tour gives you a better understanding of what your clients want beyond what you think they want.”   ***Want one piece of business strategy delivered daily to your inbox?*** Subscribe here: https://www.shethinksbigcoaching.com/subscribe-main-list Connect with ROCHELLE: Website: https://rochellemoulton.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ConsultingChick LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rochellemoulton/ Episode mentions: 166 How CPAs Can Build and Monetize Authority with Rochelle Moulton https://www.businessstrategyforcpas.com/166

How do you think about that? What made you think that way?”—RM“You don't want to be too rigid in your thinking and then go out and try and validate that, because it'll turn persuasive and that'll just be gross.”—JS

This episode features a conversation with Nat Kendall-Taylor, CEO of FrameWorks Institute. FrameWorks plays a unique role in the social sector. It uses the science behind how human beings learn about and understand the world around them in order to position or frame social causes in ways that compel people to take positive action or change. For a number of years, FrameWorks has been developing strategies and resources to help educators and advocates reframe adolescence in ways that better call out aspects of exploration, discovery and openness, which balance out traditional messages of angst and risky behaviors.Nat and Jason talk about how FrameWorks got its start and the role it plays in the social sector, the research-based process it uses to develop compelling narratives for important issues and topics, and how FrameWorks has used that process to reframe adolescence. They also talk about some of the ways FrameWorks supports organizations and the broader field to use the most effective language and channels of communication to showcase the opportunity of adolescence, how to help parents and families balance their understanding and impressions of their own adolescent children, the power of positive examples and stories of adolescents, the role of framing in bridging polarization and the cultural and political divides in education as well as other domains, and some of the new areas FrameWorks is looking to expand into or go deeper in.Additional Readings and ResourcesFrameWorks InstituteStrategic Frame AnalysisⓇToolkit on reframing adolescence and adolescent developmentReframing Adolescence Blog SeriesNational Scientific Council on the Developing ChildThinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kaheman, Random House, 2011Remaking Middle School is launching a Middle School Listening Tour!
