What happens when you put two coaches in a school, and stir for three days
We wondered what we could achieve by putting two CoActive coaches in a roomfull of teachers, school staff and management team, and stirring for three days.
The results www.martinrichards.eu/tis.html are inspiring.
The staff wrote:
- I learned a lot about the work and habits of the other departments of the school. I communicated with people I had scarcely talked to before.
- More awareness of what's going on in each other's lands and how we can improve the relationships, and integrate more.
- How to put Townshend's fundamental principles in everyday use.
- Benefit - hearing others, getting a feel for their mindset.
- Understanding some of the deep-seated cultural variations in understanding concepts like "me" and "we".
- Taking the time to talk was a gift.
- Stronger bonds amongst staff, more desire to help and assist each other.
Our thanks go to Vivek Williams, Principal of Townshend International School, www.townshend.cz and ALL the staff for their commitment to clear, deep and honest communication at their school.
