Recent research has laid bare a sobering truth: our current approach to community corrections is not producing successful outcomes for those involved in the system or those that work in it. Not only have these systems failed to consistently reduce recidivism, but in some cases, they have actually deepened individuals’ involvement in the justice system. Community corrections continues to be more about compliance and catching people failing than empowering staff to help people succeed. And it’s not just the people in the system who are affected. The toll of working in a punitive, compliance-driven system has worn down the health, morale, and sense of purpose of the very staff asked to carry it out. This moment calls for more than reform—it demands a reimagining. The coaching model offers a powerful alternative: one that centers on growth, relationships, and human potential. It’s not about softening accountability—it’s about raising our expectations for what we can truly achieve. Coaching moves us from catching failure to cultivating success, giving both staff and those they serve a new direction—and a renewed sense of hope. Helping staff adopt the four dimensions of a successful coach: approach, connection, playbooks, and success will allow for staff to meet their goal—to create a system that helps people find paths to success.
Participants will gain insight into the barriers of the existing system and learn ways to elevate coaching moments.
Participants will increase their understanding of the coaching model and develop strategies to improve staff success along with improving program outcomes.
