I attended a professional development course today and will finish it Monday. It's called "Cognitive Peer Coaching," which is a fancy way of saying How to Talk to Colleagues. It's a process used to help people come to their own conclusions about challenges that they face as educators. A lot of it is common sense, really, the kind that is still good to spend time thinking about and practicing.
What I found especially interesting was how much of it overlapped with the teachings of wise speech.
For example, in the coaching class we were taught about the benefits of pausing before speaking and how important it is to be mindful of what we say and how we say it.
Sounds familiar.
The main difference is that in the coaching process you are simply trying to be a mirror for the other person's ideas to reflect off of. It's not that any of the teaching conflicted with wise speech, but rather it has a very focused intention attached to it.
