Best Moments

“Coaching is communication, collaboration, curiosity, creativity, challenge, and change. Coaching underpins it all.”

“I remember when I was a new line manager, and that really was 30 years ago, I had no idea about what people skills were.”

“I often talk to people, when I’m sharing what coaching is, I ask them to share words that they think of when they think of coaching. Never, ever do I hear a negative word come.”
