Episode #24 What is Coaching

July 15, 2023

What is coaching? What sort of coaching should you choose? How does it work and how can it help you progress your career?

Let’s go back to basics.

In this podcast episode, I give you all the information you need to make an informed decision about whether coaching is for you and whether to join Imposter Syndrome Coaching or, if you’re a black or minority ethnic lawyer, Be The First 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 for lawyers with Imposter Syndrome who want to progress their career.
