Claire Pedrick first began talking with Jaye Lee after she read this post on Linked In and made her realise that she too had seen something and not called it out. Jaye did.
https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7456226180824907776/
So this episode explores the complexity of ethics, silence, authenticity, and credentialing within the coaching profession. Claire talks with Jaye Lee, a Singapore-based coach and co-founder of Oneness Consultancy, about the moral dilemmas coaches face, particularly around calling out misconduct and the power dynamics of giants in the industry.
They discuss how silence can silently enable harmful behaviours, the importance of self-awareness and consistency, and how badges and credentials impact perceptions of authority. Jaye talks about the importance of being human and genuine over striving for external validation. This episode invites coaches and listeners to reflect on our values, actions, and the true meaning of integrity, encouraging a courageously human approach to professional and personal life.

This episode explores how betrayal affects mental, emotional, and physical well-being in ways many people don’t recognize. Debi Silber joins Claire Pedrick to share her research on betrayal as a distinct trauma and explains the five stages of betrayal recovery, from shock to rebirth.

Key Learnings:
- Betrayal creates a unique trauma response that affects mind and body
- Post-betrayal syndrome can last for years if left unaddressed

In this episode, Karen Covy explains to Claire Pedrick MCC how divorce coaching shifts the traditional legal approach by empowering clients to take control of their emotional and practical decisions.

Zuzana Mukumayi Filipova joins Claire Pedrick to talk about her journey into coaching and the work she does with foreign partners.
[Note from Claire: Most coach training and development is expensive. At 3D we try and make ours affordable based on the sector you work in. When you charge what people can afford it’s tough. So Zuzana is doing a fundraiser for the next part of her coach training with Solutions Academy. She is asking for donations. In fair exchange, she will donate coaching scholarships for people who can’t afford coaching. “It matters to me, because I know what difference coaching can make and I want to make it accessible. Fundraising the full amount would equal approximately 10 to 20 people supported with pro‑bono coaching (estimate based on my packages)” If you’d like to pay it forward for Zuzana’s training, here’s the link https://buymeacoffee.com/zuzanamf/ ]

If you thought coaching had to be serious to be effective, meet Jill Salzman — who decided to write a coaching book as a graphic novel. A comic-style book about mindset blocks, fears, and what it really means to coach. Her purpose? To show that coaching isn’t just deep thinking — it’s also fun, relatable, and human. She wanted to challenge the idea that we need to be overly serious or “professional” to be credible. So she created five fictional characters — a superhero among them — who embody common excuses clients use: “I don’t have time,” “I’m too inexperienced,” and so on.
Through playful art and storytelling, she makes coaching accessible and engaging for everyone, even kids.What stands out? The notion that coaching doesn’t have to be a heavy, intimidating process. It can be light, joyful, and authentic — because that’s where real connection and transformation happen.Maybe that’s the point. Perhaps we need to remember that human connection — not perfection — is the core of coaching success.

Chris Paterson emailed Claire Pedrick:
I wonder if there is a podcast around the title “What can’t I bring to supervision?” which could be interesting to explore. My sense is that lots of coaches will have things that would be valuable for them to discuss but they either don’t trust their supervisor enough or don’t feel they would be allowed to discuss things that might not be directly related to their coaching practice. Of course, this comes down to the contracting between them and their supervisor and I wonder if a conversation which included examples of topics such as grief and loss, forgiveness, caring responsibilities, life events and choices might give coaches more permission to discuss what really matters to them in supervision rather than having to perform in some way.

In 2024, Oscar Trimboli joined Claire Pedrick at The Coaching Inn, on the suggestion of Shaney Crawford who is training to be a coach. There was lots of learning on every side.
This extended (nearly 3 hours) episode of The Coaching Inn has four sections.
- The original discussion from the first podcast that I did with Oscar.
- A recording of your responses to what we said - thank you to everyone who sent in reflections
- An invitation to experiment where Shani and Oscar and I reflect on the responses to the original episode.
- An Episode with Kathryn Mannix about listening
There are many ways that you can listen to this:
- you can watch the video or you can listen to the audio or you can do both
- you can watch and listen in one sitting
- you can watch and listen to each section, pausing, noticing, reflecting, with one or two days until your next listen to let the learning emerge slowly
- or you might want to watch or listen together with someone else. That might be somebody at work, it might be someone you work with, it might be another coach, either at the same time or during the same week. Using this technique, you're going to help each other hear and discover something new about listening, something varied and something different. Watch and listen to what's said and notice how it's being said

This week, Claire Pedrick, Nathan Whitbread, and Kim Witten open up the conversation around Coaching and Neurodiversity.
They discuss the misconceptions surrounding coaching neurodivergent thinkers and emphasise the importance of simplicity in the way coaches coach.
Takeaways
- Coaching neurodivergent individuals requires an understanding that we are all experts in our own experiences and ways of thinking.
- Simplicity in questioning is crucial when working with neurodivergent thinkers, as complex questions can shift the focus away from the work at hand.
- Measuring progress and success should be individualised and focused on movement and the feeling of growth.
- Creating a supportive team and knowing when to reset are essential in coaching neurodivergent thinkers.
- People are becoming more willing to openly share their neurodivergent experiences, allowing for more open and effective coaching conversations. Trust and partnership are crucial when discussing neurodivergence in coaching.
- Diagnosing and labelling should be approached with caution, focusing on supporting people rather than categorising them.
- Self-disclosure as a coach can create connection and trust, but it should be done in a way that serves the other's needs.
- Coaches should prioritise being present and authentic, allowing clients to be 100% themselves in the coaching space.

"Noticing is the most important and least formed skill in coaches."
At this week’s Open Table, Claire Pedrick MCC is talking with
- Victoria Pile
- Nathan Whitbread
- Christine Cadet
- Jo Evison
- Alun Bedding
- Ken Shih
We explore the theme of noticing in coaching and the importance of observing what is happening in the thinker. What are the challenges of noticing and the transformative impact it can have on coaching sessions? We talk about how it contributes to the flow of the conversation, the power of silence, the art of interrupting, and the impact of asking shorter and more focused questions. The key takeaway is to create space for the thinker to think and to stay present in the moment. By noticing and offering, rather than diagnosing, coaches can keep the conversation in the realm of generative exploration.
- Takeaways
- Noticing is a crucial skill in coaching and requires observing what is happening in the thinker.
- The role of movement and physicality in coaching can create a dynamic and power-free environment.
- Silence and reflection are important tools in noticing and allowing the thinker's thoughts to flow.
- Focusing on the thinker's perspective and drenching oneself in the other person's experience enhances the coaching process. Create space for the thinker to think
- Stay present in the moment
- Notice and offer, rather than diagnose
- Interrupt with a slight steer back to the topic
- Ask shorter and more focused questions
- Focus on the impact and landing of the question
- Avoid interrupting the thinker's flow
- Pay attention to the quality of the thinker's processing

How can you use coaching with grief? is one of the two questions we get asked more than any other. (The other one is about coaching and neurodiversity)
At today’s open table, Claire Pedrick MCC, Peronel Barnes PCC, and Lis Whybrow think together about coaching and grief, sharing their personal experiences and interests. They emphasise the importance of understanding that people might be out of balance rather than broken, acknowledging and managing different types of emotions, and how important it is for coaches - and for everyone - to be more able to talk about grief.
Some resources for coaching with grief:

- Being Mortal by Atul Gawande – explores what really matters towards end of life
- The Art of Dying Well bu Katy Butler – looks at how to make the most of your time
- Final Gifts by Maggie Callanan and Patricia Kelley – has practical advice on how we can support the dying person live fully to the end
- Talking with Bereaved People by Dodie Graves – which tackles how to move beyond the condolences part and really have those meaningful conversations with the bereaved
- The Grieving Brain by Mary Frances O’Connor - which helps understand the science and neurology of grief and what actually is going on within to fully appreciate why grief is a thing
- The Beauty of What Remains by Steve Leder
- Grief Works by Julia Samuel
- Good Grief by Catherine Mayer and Anne Mayer Bird
- Dear Life by Rachel Clarke
- Surviving the Tsunami of Grief by Katrina Taee + Wendelien Mc Nicoll - a picture book - for those who want to support the bereaved

Claire saw a post about on Linked In from Kay Young about how Kay disliked the word mastery. Sharing her dislike of the word, Claire invited Kay to The Coaching Inn to find out more.
Kay shares her experience of dialogue and relationship building in her recent accreditation with APECS. We talk about the liberation that comes for coaches when they discover a sense of 'enoughness' rather than being 'not good enough yet'. We explore the potential of coaching to affect systemic change or social justice on a person-by-person basis. Instead of mastery, perhaps there is a more humble approach to personal development? In a recent coach training hosted by coach Naomi Ward at The International School Bremen, one of the delegates described the journey to coaching as going from hero to zero.
Here is a poem which Kay wrote at the retreat

Breathing more deeply as I head up the drive towards The Farm.
Immersing myself in the landscape.
The sense of space, silence, stillness.
Hearing the wind chimes chanting their sacred sound.
Whispering: it’s time to surrender, to let go, to call off the search.
I knew, deep in my bones, I’d never been more ready.
It happened without effort. Effortless, really.
This capacity to see and feel another
Beautiful human soul.
I cried quiet tears
Of joy.
What a gift. This seeing. Really seeing.
Being seen followed. On a BIG screen.
With no place to hide;
And no interest in hiding.
The words that were spoken,
Emerged from my heart and soul
Birthed by the mystery of life itself.
Some weeks on, I notice
A sense of space, silence and stillness lingers on.
Despite life intervening.
I say less. Ask less. Plan less.
And I feel more; and notice more.
I have a sense that surrendering is finding its place;
Deep within my heart, blood and bones.
It’s taken an entire lifetime.

We also talked about Nick Askew’s Soul Biography course and a recent podcast with Mark Goulston.
Let’s leave the final word with Parker Palmer: "The human soul doesn't want to be fixed, it simply wants to be seen and heard. The soul is like a wild animal - tough, resilient and shy. When we go crashing through the woods shouting for it to come out so we can help it, the soul will stay in hiding. But if we are willing to sit quietly and wait for a while, the soul may show itself".
This week, Claire is talking to Michael Levitt. A former Health Care leader, Michael burned out in 2009.
He talks about lessons learned and some strategies to avoid burnout - useful for anyone encountering burnout themselves or with others.
We also talk about the Kevin Hunt podcast about listening to our bodies.

Patrick designed a wellbeing course, inspired by the Japanese art form Kinsugi, which emphasizes resilience, honesty, forgiveness, and other key life skills. The course grew during the pandemic, with over 10,000 people completing it. Patrick's new book is all about connection, vulnerability, and community power.
We talk about other conversations at The Coaching Inn with

Behind every athlete is a human. Today Claire is talking to Elizabeth Egan about her journey into personal development coaching in sport. Lots to think about this week around working with young people, and the differences between our work and sports coaching.
Elizabeth has written an excellent reference guide, with Rob Clift and Carly Jones that you can find on her website https://www.somuchmore.ie/ . It’s a wonderful guide for any kind of coach.
Contact Elizabeth through her website or Linked In.
At our last mentors meeting we thought it would be fun to invite you into our conversation from time to time. Today, Claire Pedrick is in conversation with Ruth Bennett PCC and Zoe Dickinson PCC about what we are learning from technical check ins with coaches - looking at and listening to recordings of their work. We talk about
• Making the rightsizing questions normal
• The Importance of Asking 'How Will You Know'
• Connecting with what people are saying so we don’t sound like a tennis ball machine
• Adapting tone in different parts of the conversation

Today Claire is talking with Derek Hill about the research he has done into endings in coaching. At 3D Coaching, we find that this topic comes up more than almost anything else in our coaching supervision community.
We talk about intimacy and belonging, how different people engage in ending the relationship and Derek generously shares some of his learning. His Henley Insight Guide on Goodbyes is available to anyone subscribed to Henley Live. And it’s also available to download in my supervision community.

Sometimes the best learning about coaching comes when we talk about something else and then make our own meaning. Claire met Kate Caroe at the Out of The Box/ Deep Talk conference in September 2023. Over coffee, Kate shared some of the connections she was making between Home Education and Coaching. So we invited her to come to The Coaching Inn and talk more.
Kate hashome educated her 6 children and learned about how to facilitate them to do their own learning, how to keep out of the way, to be present, and how to avoid squashing innate curiosity.
Contact Kate through www.outoftheboxstories.org
Claire is known for her opinion of much of the use of tools and techniques in coaching. And she’s up to be challenged. So when Joanna Lindenbaum from the Applied Depth Institute asked whether we wanted to talk about using resistance archetypes in coaching, we pulled up a chair at The Coaching Inn and said let’s talk!.
We talk about resistance in coaching, and what you notice. There’s mention of systemic practice and ritual. This is about noticing and naming - as an offer, in partnership. There’s a subtle difference when done well from typecasting or diagnosing. Brene Brown says that the opposite of pathologising is normalising. Listen to some of the ways we can normalise and be human.

Today, Claire Pedrick MCC is in conversation with Melissa Hague who brings extensive experience in organisational life and a desire to support people to engage in their wor places with courage and vulnerability.
Melissa is a certified Dare to Lead facilitator, and has ‘Melissa-d’ her work by doing the inner work that enables her to facilitate other people to do theirs. If you’re interested in the dance of coaching, and how to not be in control with courage, this is definitely one to listen to.
Courage is a critical quality of coaches - now more than ever. If our choice as coaches is to run for the hills when the conversation gets tough, we will definitely be replaced by AI.

In the final episode of 2023, Claire Pedrick MCC is in conversation with Samreen McGregor about her experiences growing up in Venezuela and the UK, the challenges of being a global citizen, a third culture child and mother and her work as a consultant and executive coach. This has given her a unique perspective to working on the margins of organisations.
Samreen started in private banking and then transitioned into consulting and leadership coaching. Her son’s treatment for a brain tumour shifted her perspective and priorities. We explore the benefit of providing a safe space in the workplace to acknowledge wounds and scars. She has written Leader Awakened to help others navigate life more consciously and connect with their own humanity. Lots of connections to the work Claire has been doing in the last few years.

In June 2023, William McKee came to The Coaching Inn to talk about psychometrics in coaching. Here is is. It’s our second most popular episode this year and has received lots of feedback and evoked conversation. So we invited William back with some people who expressed interest in going deeper. And that's exactly what we did!
We explore the connection between the ethics of coaching and the ethics of using a psychometric tool; the useful and the sacred; psychometrics as power tools and more. Well worth a listen, and we’d love to hear what you think. Please comment in the chat.

Today Claire is in conversation with Tuula Valkonen, the founder of Deep Talk. They met when Claire delivered the keynote address at the Deep Talk/Out of The Box conference in September and they made lots of connections between Tuula’s work and ours. Today’s podcast is on our YouTube channel as well as our audio channels because there is much to watch as Tuula facilitates Claire to explore using the Deep Talk method.
We explore the origins of Tuula’s work as a working counsellor, linguist and play specialist. She brings the richest and simplest of all these things to her work. A question integrated into Tuula’s work is: I wonder, is it good enough? A liberating question for every coach - our work only needs to be good enough for today!

Andy and Fi are both experienced interims working in many different roles across different organisations. They are also both trained coaches.
They had each noticed how they used their coaching skills in different ways in their interim roles. So Claire said ‘Come to The Coaching Inn and let’s talk more…’
We talk about knowing, about not knowing the back story and about not needing to find the whole solution in your role: Which bit do we need to do here?

Matt Abrahams contacted Claire via Linked In to say ‘Can we talk about my new book: Think Faster, Talk Smarter: How to Speak Successfully When You’re Put on the Spot‘. It was a no brainer to say yes as we have been doing so much work on not knowing and how to speak when you don’t know what to say!
There are some great insights in today’s episodes including the value of what we do outside work that builds our courage and presence inside. For Matt, it’s martial arts.

Improv Your Life is one of the top 3 coaching books we recommend because it gets into not knowing - and it’s SIMPLE. Pippa Evans has done something huge for the coaching profession without knowing it. We talk about offering something to another person to do with what they will; being in relation to another without losing yourself. And don’t judge a scene until it’s finished - or you have checked out before the end.
A great resource for coaches. And you will make your own meaning from what you hear.

Lucy Bolster is training with 3D and emailed us to say we absolutely had to meet Kathryn Lord from www.outoftheboxstories.org . The sense of delight, wonder and enjoyment in human interaction is strongly present in both of these kinds of conversations
The core values of OOB - breathe, trust, listen, feel, wonder, play, love - are the internal process I try to inhabit when I'm in a coaching conversation with others
The coaching outlook which says trust the process and trust that the other person has what they need to do the work they need to do, echoes so strongly with my experience of using OOB storytelling to open up conversation. (it doesn't mean I always manage to do it though!)
Both approaches advocate creating a container for the work which needs to be done in that moment. There is a recognition that this is what is needed in order for people to feel safe enough to be brave. As a facilitator/coach I notice this is what I need too, both these approaches support me in curbing my own inner desire to 'sort it out'.
There is a lightness to both types of conversation (bit of a nebular term I know), maybe playfulness is another way of putting it. Even when we're opening a space to talk about painful, complex or long-term entrenched situations, I find space for gentle smiles and loving humour in the conversations.
So we said come and chat at The Coaching Inn. And we uncovered another way of changing the medium in coaching, exploring the value of ritual, embodied learning, and engaging even more of our senses.
You can also watch the video of the conversation on our YouTube channel https://youtu.be/84HRgCpW6Y0
Contact Kathryn kathryn@outoftheboxtraining.org
Claire writes: There are things that are difficult to do at the same time. Sometimes in conversations the most generous thing we can do for a contained amount of time (ask them how long) is to invite someone to rant. We honour the rant.

We open season 3 asking what is coaching?
If you’re not sure, this is for you! Claire and Su talk about the impact coaching might have for things that you want to think through, are struggling with or need some focus on. Together, we look at what coaching is from the perspective of the Thinker: what would it be like if you had a safe space to do the thinking you need to? What might the impact of that be? And how does it feel having a conversation where you get to choose your own destination and how you get there?
Share with us what you think coaching is from the seat of the Thinker! And get in touch if you’d like some coaching.

Coach, Supervisor and Trainer Nishe Patel shared a post on Linked In:
“If coaching is a partnership, should the coach’s experience and thinking be shared more freely?
I’ve been going back and forth over this question for quite some time now, and it’s challenged how I see coaching. As much as my focus is on my clients and what they want to achieve, I feel I may be missing opportunities to support them further by not bringing more of myself into our shared conversation.
I recognise the value of placing emphasis on the client, after all, they are the focus of our session. However, I feel we sometimes forget that the coach is a person too. And the value they can offer expands well beyond supporting clients to figure things out for themselves.”
So I asked her if she wanted a chat at The Coaching Inn. It was great fun - and here it is.

Many of us feel committed to having more equitable relationships, teams or organisations and communities - but don’t know where to start, how we are doing it well and we sometimes underestimate the emotional labour of living and working in this way.
In this episode we were delighted to invite Iacob Bacian ‘In The Arena’ to talk about his journey in working, coaching and connecting in more equitable ways - the hope he sees and some of the challenges involved.
Iacob (He/Him) started his career as a graphic designer, trained in service design and worked on projects focused on improving public services. Iacob later trained as a coach and has focused his practice on developing a coaching practice where people experience equal and empowering relationships, especially when they have experienced deeply oppressive systems and relationships before.
Iacob gave us some great WRAP recommendations for you to delve deeper:
- Watch: Disclosure - Documentary on trans representation in the media
- Read: Huddlecraft newsletter - A CIC galvanizing the power of peer-to-peer learning.
- Audio: Poetry Unbound - A respite from the work, words to encompass the immensity, the grief, the grind, the joy.
- Ponder: Who can you do this work together with?
And if you want to learn more about the work of Civil Rights Activist John Lewis and getting in good trouble this video clip gives you some headlines and from here you can delve deeper.
You can connect with Iacob in the following ways:

While Claire is on sabbatical, join our guest host Kirsty Elderton as she listens to Kamal Ibrahim's experience in the arena.
Kamal Ibrahim migrated from Ethiopia with his family in 2003 at theage of 12 to escape civil war.-At that time, Kamal spoke no English and experienced all of the challenges that accompany settling into a new country,community and culture.
Kamal turned his passion for soccer into a way of communicating and connecting into his new environment. Kamal first played at his local club, progressed through the leagues and went on to play professional soccer, made appearances in the Socceroos - the Australian men’s football team.
Kamal has since combined his love of soccer and his experiences of moving countries into a not for profit program called One Ball–that supports children and young people with their physical and mental health through sport.
Kamal will be sharing the highs and lows of his journey and how being adaptable has served him well, the importance of this quality for our young people and how he integrates transformational coaching conversations into his work as a soccer coach.

In today’s episode, Katie is talking with Claire Pedrick MCC about what she learned when she moved out of her comfort zone and how she makes sure that she is spending time working on the business, working in the business and on herself.

Do you really need more empathy to be an effective coach? Coach/ Supervisor Beatrice Zornek wrote in a Linked In post, "Clients need to trust the coach and to feel seen and supported. But “more empathy” is not a universal prescription like a supplement we should all take liberally.
High levels of empathy often come with risks. Like absorbing emotions in the coaching space. We can end up worrying or even digesting emotions on our clients’ behalf. This is tiring, disempowering and ineffective for the client (and ourselves)."
So we invited Beatrice to come and explore this more deeply with Claire Pedrick MCC at The Coaching Inn. She came along with two friends who are coaches and supervisors: Siobhán Cahalan and Todd Roache.

Today, Claire Pedrick MCC is in conversation with psychiatrist and coach Jenny Forge about her new book Coaching in Mental Health Service Settings and Beyond.
Primarily written for people working in the mental health sphere and mental health services, you could argue that all coaches work in the mental health and well-being sphere!
Jenny brings the wisom of deep experience as a doctor and a psychiatrist as well as a professional certified coach - so the book has perspectives not found in other coaching books.

A great email came in recently: "I’ve listened to two episodes recently that really resonated with what I often wrestle with as coach. They were your conversation with Sarah Short from the Coaching Revolution and your Business Coaching Special. They highlighted for me a tension I constantly wrestle with, between (1) not promising outcomes because they are entirely dependent on on the work the client does and if we oversell it they might not get the outcomes they’d hoped vs (2) acknowledging what Sarah Short (and most of the marketing advice for coaches I’ve read) says that people buy outcomes and results and that we need to talk about what the coachee/thinker will get from coaching. Which also makes sense.
I would LOVE to know what you think about this tension between the two!! I’ve noticed that when I try and focus on my marketing, ideal client, niche, outcomes etc I end up feeling a huge pressure to deliver that for the client and it really impacts how I coach, as well as feeling like an integrity issue. I find it much harder to be ‘attentively not bothered’ when I’ve promised outcomes and I think it also impacts how the coachee/thinker shows up to the coaching.."

Naomi Ward emailed info@3dcoaching.com to say "In the context of doing less as a coach, a journey I'm really enjoying, what are some ways that you create challenge for the thinker?" So we said come to The Coaching Inn and let's talk. And we shared on LinkedIn and had more willing companions who wanted to dig deeper...
Here's the quote about fools
"This begs the question whether as coaches we are willing to sacrifice the gleam of professional status to ask the dumb questions, the really dumb ones. Can we as coaches take a lead from the Fool and leap from the intelligent challenge to the outrageous suggestion, churning up the waters of the coaching safe space in a bid for higher stakes? Can coaching develop a radical edge in service to a greater good? The Fool injects the vitality we need as we work together with leaders to challenge business as usual and hold a vision for a better world." Hetty Einzig - The Future of Coaching

Sarah Short returns to The Coaching Inn to talk with Claire about simplicity and speaking in plain English. And that marketing your coaching business doesn't have to be complicated.
- How do we speak about our work in a way that other people understand - and stop using jargon?
- Why might the endless acquisition of knowledge not be the way forward?
- How can you use well what you have already learned?
- What do we do that accidentally disempowers others?

Today Claire Pedricck MCC is in conversation with coach Martin Carter and his daughter Sarah after he posted this on LinkedIn:
"So I finally did it. Did you notice? Fatigued by the growing self-aggrandising 'role headlines' on LinkedIn, I've decided to start a movement.
In truth, I absolutely know it won't be a movement; I am not a 'LinkedIn top Influencer' (insert award emoji here) nor am I a 'Thought Leader', or even 'a 'disrupter'. But I Iike to think I am honest, don't take me, my work or life too seriously and think the world would be a better place if we just all chilled a little. So I thought I'd try it. A few months ago over dinner towards the end of lockdown 1 after the kids had been working at home for a while we got onto the subject of what dad does for a living. Quick as a flash my (then) ten year old daughter said 'I know what dad does'. Obviously being at home she has heard a little of my 'life changing performance coach', 'helping you kick-ass', 'people liberator', inspiring you to live your best life', 'super-charging the real you', ' I'm just pretty awesome to be around' day-to-day work. 'So what do you think I do' I asked 'You mentally demolish people and tell them how to do a job you've never done yourself', she said before returning to her pasta."

Someone reminded me this week of our much watched video about why it’s important in coaching to talk to the person in front of us more than the problem - or, as I call them, the wavy people. Let’s recognise that there are many situations at work and in life where we need to pay more attention to - and turn up the volume on the voices that are already present and that are not being heard.

When Claire and Judy Reith first spoke about having a chat at The Coaching Inn about Judy and her husband Adrian's new book - Act 3: The Art of Growing Older, little did we know how important it was that they had written it while their ideas were evolving.
A key message from the book is to make choices about, and have a plan for, your Act 3 years before it is too late. Adrian’s untimely death has had a huge impact on Judy's own Act 3 as she faces a future she did not choose which is so far making her even more aware of making good life choices while she can. Some great life lessons here for coaches and every human especially anyone in Act 3.

Fran is especially interested in coaches working in a second language: I see coaches who could be working in a second language and they aren't because they think their English isn't perfect. It doesn't have to be when you do less!
Do contact Fran if you want to be part of that movement!

What happens in coaching when you interrupt... relationally! "This stuff works", says Stuart
Claire Pedrick MCC talks with Mary Valette Devine about her new book Leadership Transition Coaching
Website: marydconsultancy.com
When you’re reflecting back, instead of telling them stuff they know, offer them things they don’t know- with a question mark. That might sound like “...a lot’s going on?” or “challenging?”
You’ll be amazed at how much that begins to enable people to move forward in their thinking.
