0:00.0	Hello, friends. Welcome to the Bright Morning podcast. I'm your host, Elena Aguilar. And in each podcast
0:10.0	episode, you'll hear me demonstrate how you can lead conversations that build connection and spark change.
0:18.4	We are racing towards summer, which means that the end of the school year is upon us.
0:25.1	So today, I'm going to show you how to make sure you don't miss a huge opportunity for learning
0:31.3	and celebration before you head into the break. I remember this time so well when I was in a school-based role.
0:39.3	There were so many checklists and final meetings and data reports to file. But what there
0:46.8	wasn't was someone encouraging me to dedicate time to reflect. And that is unfortunate because reflection is a critical part of the
0:59.1	learning process. From deepening our understanding to promoting self-awareness, to enhancing
1:06.2	critical thinking, to improving future performance, reflection is a powerhouse move, and one that you
1:14.8	need to be regularly incorporating into your practice. So today I am excited to bring you a special
1:23.8	coaching conversation where I will be working with Joseph, who is a first year coach
1:31.3	and one of our Bright Morning members. I have not coached Joseph before, but we did meet in person
1:41.2	when he attended a couple of my workshops, my Art of Transmational Coaching
1:47.4	Workshop and Art of Coaching Teams workshop last school year. And at those workshops, he joined
1:55.9	me for a special lunch that I host with members. And I left that time feeling so inspired by his
2:05.1	commitment to his role and to his clients. And so I'm just thrilled to be able to talk to him
2:11.3	today now at the end of the school year to hear how things have unfolded and to help him think about how he can create an
2:22.7	intentional summer learning plan that will help him deepen his coaching practice.
2:29.9	So as you listen to Joseph's reflections today, I invite you to consider your own summer learning priorities.
2:39.4	What skills do you want to strengthen?
2:43.2	What books have been sitting on your shelf waiting to be read?
2:48.2	Which aspects of your practice would benefit from deeper reflection?
