Show notes

How instructional coaches talk to teachers and provide feedback matters A LOT!!! In this episode, Hillary McCaskey from Enneagram and Coaching joins me to discuss providing feedback to Enneagram personality types. This episode is part of our new series, Relationships, Resistance, and Rookies!

You’ll discover the best and worst ways to provide feedback to each Enneagram type. Along the way, you'll hear personal stories from both of us, including how being an Enneagram 1 shapes my coaching style.
