As we continue to develop, grow and evolve as coaches, one of the most valuable lessons we can learn is the power of curiosity.

Wherever you are on your coaching journey, we invite you to adopt a curious mindset seeking to understand how each person experiences their world in their own unique way. This means letting go of our own beliefs, assumptions and personal experiences which can get in the way of our client's exploring their own world.

Why is a values-led life important? 

Our personal values influence every decision we make. They are the invisible driving forces that guide our actions and create our experiences. 

Considering how much our values impact our day-to-day lives, it’s so important t...

Campbell identifies 12 definitive stages of the hero's journey, and as coaches, we too can go on a similar journey that can have a transformative quest that profoundly impacts the lives of our clients and our...

The establishment of clear and effective agreed ways of working between the client and coach, or a leader and their team or colleagues, serves as a crucial foundation for achieving transformative outcomes.

In coaching and leading teams, setting agreed ways of working inv...

Coaches are often on the lookout for tools and techniques to enhance sessions and add value to clients. However, through our Empower World experience, we've found that the most impactful way to support our clients is by honing our listening skills.
