I once had a conversation with a coach who said -

‘I've been coaching for three years, but I still feel like I'm winging it sometimes. I worry I'm not as good as I should be by now and when challenging situations come up with clients, I feel completely alone. I don’t know what I should do.’

Here's what struck me about her words: she wasn't lacking skill or dedication. She was lacking something that should be fundamental to every coach's practice but can often get overlooked entirely.

When Claire and I first began developing our leadership coaching training programme in late 2023, I knew it would be both super exciting and challenging. Our vision was ambitious: create a 5-day leadership development programme where leaders could immediately implement coaching skills while building on their existing experience. But it was a big undertaking as this wasn't our only work.
