Coaching Teams
for High Performance
Find out more about the powerful design to become a High Performing Team 
Dear Reader, 

As the end of the year approaches, we are prone to review where we have been and where we want to go. What more approrpiate time, then, to think of those who will  inherit our planet, our society with its shortcomings and blessings? What if we could help our kids and teenagers shape a more engaging educational process, in collaboration with parents and teachers? As author Riane Eisler notes, the most important product of humanity is our children, yet we tend to pay inadequate attention to caring for the younger citizens of the planet.

 

This month we feature the amazing story of twelve coaches transforming high school education in Romania.

 

Enjoy the reading!

Coaching for Change
 An Experience in Romanian High Schools
 
Interview with
Simona David-Crisbășanu(*)

 

LIM News:  How would you describe the initiative in one sentence?

 

Simona David-CrisbășanuWe are working with high schools with very low performance, looking for results in both the mid- and long-term.  It is a project about giving a voice to everyone, about bringing hope and empowering people to take responsibility for their lives. We all learn to work together for a better future. It is also about learning to be patient, to have faith and compassion.

About Coaches and Schools
by Ernie Turner, President LIM LLC

 

It is wonderful to see the unfolding of this program, which was inspired by, and modeled after, similar interventions conducted with the New York City and Boston School System, in the USA. 

 

Team Coaching is a very powerful skill that can be developed and easily transferred to the teams, creating ownership of their process and empowerment. We worked with Simona and Oana and their team of coaches using LIM's ARL Team Coach Certification Program.They have earned the respect of their school teams; and together they are creating dreams and plans to turn these schools around and graduate more and more students. I see their leadership and teamwork contributing to the success of this project, inspiring the replication of this transformational initiative throughout their country, and around the world.
