Step into the world of transformational leadership, where we explore trust, interconnectedness and adaptability in coaching. I’m joined by Robert Stephenson, a coach with a deep passion for leadership, systemic work, and group coaching. Together, we dive into the dual role of leaders, the transformative power of coaching, and the importance of adaptability in meeting client needs. Robert shares his journey, from becoming a coach in educational settings to integrating unique interests like fire walking and Reiki into his practice. We also discuss the balance of professional boundaries, flexibility in coaching approaches, and the significance of listening to one's inner voice.
Here are the Highlights:
