Episode #138 What is Coaching?

Coaching seems to be ubiquitous these days, but do you really understand what good coaching is, what sort of coaching to choose, how it works, or how it can help you progress your career?

It’s time to go back to basics.

In this podcast episode, I get to the bottom of the coaching conundrum, and give you all the information you need to make an informed decision about Imposter Syndrome Coaching.

I cover:

What coaching is: an explanation of the listening and questioning technique that helps you get from where you are now to where you want to be.
What coaching is not.
Who coaching is for.
How coaching works.
The best conditions for coaching.
The value of coaching: how is it worth the money?
What to look for in a coach.

I also explain how Imposter Syndrome Coaching ticks all these boxes in a unique coaching programme tailored just for lawyers with Imposter Syndrome.
