Leadership Coaching Skills: Take care of yourself. The best leaders lead well because they know what it’s like to go ‘through it’. Those who have known loss, heartbreak, dark days or years, those who have turned to face the despair in their own lives in order to assimilate it and heal, these are the people […]
Want some Advice: Here goes. Show up, give your best and let go of the outcome. We spend so much time worrying about the future that we forget to focus on the present. Why? because The future is built out of the blocks that we build in the here and now If we don’t focus […]
Leadership Coaching Framework: I am noticing that is a really fine line between fear and excitement. I flew in from the school run this morning saying “I’ve gotta get on, I’ve got five clients today”. A 90-minute supervision session. Two New-Client assessment sessions.

My absolute best career coach book is this: “Essential Career Transitions Coaching Skills” by Caroline Talbott. It’s awesome. It’s tiny. It’s packed with a multitude of juicy interventions, all with a career bent to them. It’s a modest tome in size. Its author is also disarmingly modest.
