In coaching, the agreement is often seen by coaches as a practical step - a necessary piece of structure before “the real work” commences. But when we slow down and bring presence, curiosity, and trust from the outset, the agreement becomes far more than just a formality: it becomes the doorway to profound transformation.

Establishing and maintaining agreements is a foundational coaching competency, which can be interwoven throughout the coaching session at any point - particularly when the goa...

There is a quiet tragedy unfolding inside many of us. It is not an outward catastrophe, but something that happens silently within. It's the tendency to overlook our own greatness: to hide from our full selves, and ignore what we do not like or understand about who we are.

Dasha Dare - coach and photographer - says, "Photography has always been about seeing greatness, the essence in another human being." She also shares not everyone is capable of seeing their authentic selves: both the greatnes...

As coaches, we often encounter clients who have achieved external success yet feel profoundly unfulfilled. Perhaps they've climbed the ladder, accumulated wealth, built relationships, and checked all the boxes society told them would bring happiness and success. And they may wonder in a coaching session with you, is this all there is? Or they may say, I’m interested in creating something deeper in my life. Or they may even ask what’s the point of all that I have achieved?

These moments may call...

Coaching skills are leadership skills which can support powerful learning and outcomes for the client (or reflective partner). But what often gets overlooked or pushed aside in the profession of coaching is the role of who the coach is being in their practice in partnership with their client.

Taking care of our 'instrument' - our being as a coach

Coaching isn't just about the processes we use or the presence we offer others, it's also about the presence we hold with ourselves and our own self-...

In a world marked by constant disruption—economic instability, geopolitical uncertainty, and the lingering effects of a global pandemic—organisations are being called to rethink how they build resilience, innovation, and performance. One of the most effective, yet underutilised, strategies in this pursuit is team coaching.

Why Team Coaching? Why Now?

Team coaching expert - Tammy Turner - described how organisations today must shift their focus from isolated individual development to collective...

There is something deeply moving about witnessing another person experience a profound insight, a moment of clarity that reshapes how they see themselves and their world.

These moments are at the heart of coaching. And they are moments filled with joy, not just for the client, but for the coach holding space, deeply listening to their client and embodying curiosity on many levels to support the client/reflective partner to understand much more about what they brought into coaching - and of cour...

In a world full of distraction and noise, perhaps more than ever, where we become increasingly bombarded with more and more information - deep listening is a rare and powerful gift that we can give to another.

And it’s not just about hearing the words someone says: it’s also about being with them in a way that assists them to feel seen, safe, and heard.

One of the most transformative aspects of coaching, and in any relationship, is rooted in trust and the experience of someone truly listening....

Stepping into coaching is more than just a career move: it’s a calling. It requires courage, resilience, passion, and an unwavering belief in the process of coaching and the power of transformation. 

Building a sustainable and impactful coaching business also requires an entrepreneurial mindset, good business sense, and strong strategic skills. Without these qualities, it is difficult to build a sustainable business.

Equally important to these attributes are the internal beliefs that support t...

Many coaches often wonder what are some useful models they can utilise with clients before beginning a coaching programme. 

Two valuable models coaches may want to share with their clients are the Drama and the Winner’s Triangles: what they mean and what are the differences between them which can support them to make empowering choices.

These powerful psychological models can transform self-awareness and interpersonal dynamics, setting the stage for deep and meaningful coaching work.

In today’s rapidly changing and uncertain world, leadership must also evolve with these changing times. Effective leadership is no longer simply decision making; it is also being thought partners with team members and catalysts for transformative and collaborative change.

Traditional leadership often revolves around hierarchy and command. However, today’s workforce is seeking connection, support, and shared purpose. Dr Damian Goldvarg, a global leadership expert, author and Master Certified Coa...
