This #coachbetter episode is another in our series of coaching case studies, with one of Kim's amazing clients, Jen Kagohara, ES Tech & Design Coach, Taipei American School, Taiwan. Jen is a graduate of The Coach Certificate & Mentorship Program and when we recorded this episode she had just finished the program.

These case study episodes are designed to share the story of a coach, and the development of their coaching program and practice in their unique setting. 

We're so excited to share this episode with Jen with you because Jen has had many experiences that are shared by lots of the clients Kim works with. She’s relatively new to her school, which has hired coaches, but doesn’t yet have a coaching culture. Many coaches that Kim works with are in this exact same situation - in fact we have several other podcast episodes about this very topic, one is episode 70: 5 Steps to Move from “Having Coaches” to “a Coaching Culture”). Wherever you are in the process at your school, it’s always valuable to hear what this looks like in different school contexts.

In this conversation they talk about ...

  • What coaching looks like in her school right now
  • What makes coaching work and what are some challenges
  • Jen’s growth as a coach throughout The Coach Certificate & Mentorship Program
  • Her big aha moments as a new coach
  • What she’s planning for next in terms of her professional growth
  • What she wishes she knew before she started coaching
  • Her recommendations for new and aspiring coaches
