  6. Final word Discussion Protocol • Sit in a circle • First person read out chosen passage • In less than 3 mins describe WHY it was significant to you • Each person then responds to reader’s choice for 1 minute each • Then reader has ‘final word’ (1 minute) to respond to what has been said • Next person begins same process, reading their chosen passage etc.

  7. Head What are the stated facts ? • HeartWhat was your reaction? • BinWhat would you disregard? • BagWhat will you take away?

  8. Cognitive Dissonance It is human nature to strive to reduce dissonance between what we do and what we believe, with behaviour shaping our thoughts far more powerfully than the other way around. When what we do conflicts with our values, in other words, it is our values that tend to give way. Leslie Cannold The Age 11.1.08

  9. Cognitive Dissonance

  10. Releasing the Tension of Cognitive Dissonance • Justify our behaviour by changing the conflicting cognition Kim Craig Night after shopping all day at IKEA: ‘You know, I’ve bought so many bargains today, I think I’ve actually made money’ • Justify our behaviour by adding new cognitions ‘And I've been trying to run up your credit card bill to earn you enough Fly-Buys to get you a free mystery flight for your honeymoon’ • Change our behaviour

  11. Engaging people’s moral purpose

  12. Breakthrough: Using Change Knowledge People begin to change their behaviours before they change their beliefs. New positive experiences are the motivator, especially when they relate to fulfilling moral purpose. (Fullan, Hill and Crévola, 2006)

  13. Moral purpose

  14. Challenging Conversations • Share a recent challenging conversation • with a person next to you, then reflect: • Why was it challenging? • How did it make you feel? • What was the outcome? • What might be some of the barriers for an ‘effective’ coaching conversation?

  15. Knowledge and Skills Beliefs and Goals

  16. Knowledge & Skills vs Beliefs & Goals A teacher uses the same bingo game at the beginning of every maths lesson and has explained that she does this because it settles the students after play time. The game can sometimes last for up to half an hour. What question might you ask in order to engage this teacher in examining their beliefs?

  17. A mentor knows most of the answers but a coach knows the right questions

  18. Beliefs and Goals
