What influenced you to start Coaching, and to continue?
Kirsty Knowles, Founder of Think Being® was invited to join a podcast at The Coaching Inn, hosted by Claire Pedrick and 3D Coaching, to reflect on these two questions. In conversation with fellow Coaches: Lisa-Marie Sikand, Manjit Obhrai, Dr Gary Crotaz, and Rachel Mackay, a theme emphasised was our integrity for the humanity of Coaching.

Gem takeaways from the podcast
Coaching is light touch. It is in the space created and responsibly held by the Coach, and that which is cultivated in between sessions, where clients experience movement in their thinking, connection with what matters, and beautifully pivot back to themselves.
Secondly, we as the Coach, do not get in the way of our clients. The process of Coaching and the skills of a Coach serve the client.
Thirdly, the empowerment for clients naming what is in their mind and body catalyses clarity. It is this human ‘Being-ness’ that we welcome with unconditional positive regard into the conversation.
Fourthly, qualified Coaches, who then uphold standards and ethics through credentialing are well positioned to Coach honourably.
