Mental Health Tip Number Five - Create Coach Connection. Coaching can be lonely. Carve out time to connect with someone and compare notes about coaching. Maybe make a handshake like this dynamic duo, CHJS Chicago Manager Ivan and his daughter - we see you!

[Kate Thomas @Katelhogan]

Loved this keynote! What’s most important?….a great question to ask yourself and others in the journey of coaching and life.

[Peter Lonergan @lono610]

@lono610 - Apply the WMI filter - what’s most important; manage the “environment of more”; will it make the boat go faster?; tired is the enemy, not the goal; are you a “human doing” or “human being”?; “guard your energy” as a coach & leader

[Kate Thomas @Katelhogan]

Thanks Lono!

[Peter Lonergan @lono610]

@Katelhogan - relationship building strategies - learn names, check in regularly, ensure they know their worth, provide opportunities to contribute in meaningful ways, be predictable; importance of high fives (tactile communication); be as present in failure as you are in success
