About me

I have a passion for education and especially for ensuring that all of us continue to apply what we have learned. I am excited about the opportunity that the Lounge provides for all of us to discuss how we are applying what we have learned & to share those great ideas.

I have had a varied background from secondary education to corporate training & now working in the career college sector. But while I have moved in different circles it has always been surrounding my passion of education. I look forward to our conversations.

Great delineation between the two. Coaching is most powerful when it is driven by an honest concern for your reports. Ryan

Often it simply is showing them that we do care about their success that makes the difference. Ryan

Reasonable Goals

Very good synopsis. I would also add that unreasonable goals are those that are too easily attained as well as those that are impossible. Ryan

David, I agree that the two areas should naturally flow back & forth. I do think its important to distinguish between the two as this helps us develop both skill sets appropriately. Ryan

The Effective Presenter

Great points. So true that we need to make it clear to the audience how the message is relevant to them, too often we assume they can see that for themselves. Ryan

So true. When we come at coaching from this angle & demonstrate that we truly do care about the other person's success, we have a much greater chance of being successful with them. Ryan
