“Questioning is at the core of effective coaching combined with active listening” Paul Butler @patriciamannixm Dr. Niamh Hickey UL_ELLA

A very simple visual of the G.R.O.W model to coaching. With a little help we can all develop. Both the gardener and the plant reap the rewards! #coaching #pdsl UL_ELLA @patriciamannixm Dr. Niamh Hickey

Facilitation is the art of leading people through processes towards agreed-upon objectives in a manner that encourages participation, ownership and creativity by all those involved… #pdsl #leadership UL_ELLA Dr. Niamh Hickey

A poster that I’ve used in my classroom for years - THINK. Very useful tool in building and maintaining relationships inside and outside the classroom. #schoolculture #pdsl UL_ELLA @patriciamannixm Dr. Niamh Hickey

Such value in stopping to talk, chat, connect. Strong culture arises from many overlapping cohesive interactions that spread beliefs and values. Communication and conversations are key to this. Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) #pdsl #leadership @patriciamannixm Dr. Niamh Hickey UL_ELLA

This week as part of the #pdsl we looked at the role school culture plays in a schools dynamic. I found this quote very apt.. @patriciamannixm UL_ELLA Dr. Niamh Hickey

School culture is a major part of job satisfaction for teachers. Relationships are key to a positive workplace culture. Below is a picture of a few posters in my classroom aimed at building relationships. @patriciamannixm UL_ELLA #pdsl #culture

Sometimes we have to force ourselves to stop and reflect on our participation in conflicts. Are we actively seeking to find a resolution for all? #pdsl UL_ELLA #buildingrelationships

Interesting quote on conflicts. Tone and delivery can change a conversation instantly. This is no difference in school conflicts. #pdsl @patriciamannixm Dr. Niamh Hickey

Learning about the value of applying a strengths based approach to mentoring in the teaching profession has been particularly insightful. #pdsl #mentoringandcoaching Dr. Niamh Hickey @patriciamannixm UL_ELLA

A R.E.A.L leader is Reliable, Ethical, Aware and Loyal. Love this image Shelly K #pdsl #leadership UL_ELLA @patriciamannixm Dr. Niamh Hickey

Really enjoyable session last night with the #pdsl. Learned a lot on authentic leaders and the qualities they demonstrate day in day out. #leadership UL_ELLA Dr. Niamh Hickey @patriciamannixm

For #pdsl I've spent a lot of time thinking about and discussing leadership! Thanks to EPLO Ireland Edu and #EPAS in Cyprus I've seen youth from across Europe put leadership into action in the most inspiring way! @patriciamannixm Dr. Niamh Hickey

Over the past number of weeks, I have learned the best leader is not the loudest voice & knows everyhing... but the one who can see the bigger picture & those around them. Be open minded, courageous & LEAD BY EXAMPLE. #PDSL #leadership @patriciamannixm Dr. Niamh Hickey UL_ELLA

Leadership requires both empathy and curiosity. We can establish a psychologically safe workplace by actively listening without passing judgment, by giving criticism in a constructive and encouraging way, and by fostering a culture of learning. #pdsl UL_ELLA

As a leader it is important to continuously adapt, develop & to learn. Fostering a culture of continuous learning in a school has benefits for all staff, consequently improving teaching and learning. UL_ELLA @patriciamannixm Dr. Niamh Hickey #pdsl #leadership

If we see people disagree but show respect and trust in the importance honesty, we are likely to contribute honesty and seek broad understanding of different viewpoints and the knowledge it uncovers #courage #pdsl #leadership @patriciamannixm Dr. Niamh Hickey UL_ELLA

Empathy is often missing from professional conversation whether by design or not. Demonstrating Care and emotional intelligence is critical for leaders. #empathy #pdsl @patriciamannixm UL_ELLA
