Killarney Calling: Get Ready for a Transformative Week of Coaching Skills!

The air in Killarney is buzzing! Much like the beautiful, bright sky over town today, there's a real sense of anticipation as we gear up for an incredible week. This Monday we kick off our much-awaited Coaching Skills for Educators course right here in the heart of stunning County Kerry.

We are absolutely thrilled to welcome educators from various backgrounds who are ready to unlock their potential and empower those around them. This isn't just another professional development course; it's an immersive experience designed to equip you with practical coaching techniques that can transform your practice and leadership style.

What's in Store?

Over the next five days, we'll delve deep into the core principles of coaching. Here's a glimpse of our packed schedule:

Understanding the Fundamentals: We start on Monday by exploring "What is coaching?" and building connections through icebreakers.

Mastering Listening: Tuesday is dedicated to the crucial skill of listening – learning not just how to listen, but understanding if we are truly listening effectively.

Cultivating Curiosity: Wednesday focuses on overcoming judgement and embracing openness and curiosity – essential traits for any coach.

Powerful Questioning: On Thursday, we'll discover what's truly important and learn the art of asking "Great Questions" that unlock insight.

Building Your Toolkit: We wrap up on Friday with a look at the essential Coaching Toolkit and defining your next steps, followed by reflections on our journey together.

Beyond the Classroom: Exploring Kerry's Culture

Learning doesn't stop when the sessions end! We've curated a fantastic cultural programme designed to immerse you in the magic of Kerry:

Monday: A guided tour of the beautiful Killarney House & Gardens.

Tuesday: Enjoy a Group Dinner at the renowned Bricín Restaurant, followed by an enchanting Evening of Irish Myths and Legends.

Wednesday: Experience the unique Samhain Chiarraí Fire Ritual and soak up some traditional Irish Music at O' Connors Bar.

Thursday: Get your feet tapping with "Irish Dance Through the Ages" and witness a breathtaking Wild Atlantic Sunset.

Friday: An early start for the Dawn Chorus at Ladies View, and later, a refreshing Visit to Rossbeigh Beach, Glenbeigh.

It promises to be a week filled with profound learning, meaningful connections, and unforgettable cultural experiences. We believe that stepping outside your usual environment, especially into a place as inspiring as Killarney, is the perfect catalyst for growth.

We can't wait to embark on this coaching journey with all our participants. Get ready to explore, learn, and be inspired!
