382 Coaching Over Complaining
In this episode of The Child Care Director’s Chair, we’re diving into one of the biggest leadership glow-ups you can make: shifting from micromanaging to mentoring. ✨
It’s time to move past the habit of just correcting mistakes and start coaching your team for real growth. We’re breaking down what it means to lead with intention, build meaningful growth plans, and create a culture of support, trust, and accountability.
You’ll learn how to:
- Spot the difference between correction and coaching
- Set clear, personalized growth goals with your team
- Track progress in a way that motivates, not monitors
- Celebrate wins that actually build morale
- Strengthen trust and connection with your staff
This episode is your guide to building a leadership style rooted in development—not just direction. If you're ready to stop managing every detail and start mentoring with purpose, this one’s for you.
