Teacher Building Relationship, Compassion, and Accountability

Life = Choices; Choices = Life

In this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Coach Carlos Johnson, author of Power Engage, a transformative book that guides teachers on how to teach like a coach, blending compassion with accountability for their students. We discussed Carlos' unique definition of engagement, which he views as a deeper, more committed process than mere involvement. He also shared the inspiration behind his concept of "performance-based relationships" and his creation of the Future Man Success Prep course. Carlos explained how he helps teachers develop a "classroom coach" model, recognizing how coaches earn the admiration of their players through strong relationships and positive expectations. By adopting this coaching mindset, teachers can unlock greater potential in their students. Carlos also reflected on his time as a principal, where he achieved remarkable goals through a focus on compassion and accountability. We wrapped up with his advice to educators and school leaders looking to transform their school culture. To connect with Coach Carlos, visit his website: https://carlosjohnson.org.
