Hey coach, been feeling all the feelings lately? You’re definitely not alone!

In this episode, literacy coach and adjunct professor Leah Ruesink joins me for an honest conversation about instructional coaching: more feelings than you'd expect! We discuss the big feelings instructional coaches often grapple with, including feelings of imposter syndrome, isolation, and self-doubt.

Leah shares her journey from teacher to coach, highlighting the importance of building relationships and having meaningful coaching conversations. She reflects on what she wishes she’d known before becoming a literacy coach and explains how the audio notes she recorded early on eventually turned into an article about navigating coaching roles. Plus, Leah offers plenty of recommendations to help manage our emotions and coach successfully.
