Such practical tools

I really love the practicality and thoughtfulness which Elena Aguilar and her team bring to their work. I find these podcasts brief and useful. Education has been especially challenging lately and these words of wisdom help me to connect to what I love about working with teachers and students.

The Way to Start My Bright Morning

With my coffee and on my way to work, this is my go to podcast. Each episode I learn something new. We agreed to use one of the texts. When we met, I brought up the podcast. Another coach also listens to the podcasts and is a Friend of the Show, too.

We talked about the learning and how powerful it is. We talked about how to afford the membership because we want it! Look for us, we’re coming.

I have learned so much from Elena Aguilar

I took a long walk and binged on the Bright Morning podcast today. What a treat! I am a educational leader and coach, and I find Elena Aguilar’s advice to be the most helpful source of guidance as I seek to improve my practice to support my clients and their students. Could not recommend more highly. The books, the podcast, the workshops. All of it!!
