In today’s episode of the BabblED Podcast, we welcome Learning Innovation Coaches, Cheryl Terry, and Ben Sheridan, to share their insight into creating a coaching culture in international schools. Ben and Cheryl join us from NIST International School in Bangkok, Thailand, and our conversation hinges around definitions of leadership, norms of collaboration, and the importance of demonstrating vulnerability. Tuning in, you’ll learn how asking the right questions not only fosters growth but leads to a great conversation, why modeling leadership built on trust and vulnerability is the best way to implement it, and how, sometimes, doing less enables you to do so much more toward building and sustaining a culture of innovation. This is an exciting conversation filled with wisdom and practical knowledge, so make sure not to miss it!
