Host Kristina Finch, Associate Director of Professional Development at the Florida Institute for Child Welfare, leads a series of conversations in this podcast, “Innovation at the Frontline: Supporting the Workforce.” In this episode, Kristina takes a closer look at virtual coaching and how it’s being used to help child welfare professionals better understand their own strengths and how best to employ them on the job. Learn about successes and challenges resulting from virtual coaching and what the future holds for this innovative approach. “Coaching is tapping into their motivations. Because if I tap into their motivations, they're more likely to achieve what they want to achieve and not what I want to achieve.” Steve McGarvey Guests: Candice Howell, Florida Institute for Child Welfare Steve McGarvey, Florida Institute for Child Welfare Brenda Lockwood, Butler Institute for Families Just a reminder: Our guests’ opinions are their own and do not necessarily reflect the official views, policies, or positions of the Florida Institute for Child Welfare.
