Talking about Coaching
Does what it says on the tin: We talk about coaching. We, that is Yannick, Siwash and Nicki. We love coaching, collectively got a tonne of experience, knowledge and charm; and we all felt it was time to give something back to our wonderful coaching community. Whether you're a life coach, work with organisations or practice any other form of coaching, you can ask us anything and we'll discuss it for and with you so you can learn, grow and develop your practice and business skills!
Talking about Coaching
Can/should coaches stay neutral? Episode 59
Most coaching schools teach us to be neutral, not to share our opinions, to work client-led. Coaching in the face of the climate crisis has challenged this perspective. Can coaches also be activists? Is it ever possible not to influence a client? And shouldn’t we be a positive influence in our clients’ lives anyway? How can I be authentic AND neutral? And how might attempting to stay neutral benefit or hinder the coaching process?
In today’s episode of Talking about Coaching, our resident coaches Yannick, Siawash and Nicki discuss these questions and more.
The conversations Yannick referenced at the beginning, which sparked this episode, can be found at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEK9UENWT66CUcOyiLjUuEZ6281D6A47M
