Show Notes

Just to avoid any confusion, we are not addressing the topics of romantic love, sexual attraction or attachment in the coaching room in this episode, although they might crop up in a future episode. Tom is on his own for this podcast and is offering some reflections on how we might show up as a coach.

It would be very easy for us to show up in judgement of our coachees and to prove our worth by pointing out the error of their ways. We’re the experts after all. We know what’s what. 

Or maybe, just maybe, we can show up with love, and hold that loving space for someone whilst they explore their situation fully. In showing up with love, we allow the coachee to be their true, authentic self and to feel comfortable in being vulnerable and open with us in what is a protected space and a relationship of trust. 

Join Tom in his musings about the nature of love in the coaching room. As he meanders through the podcast he’ll be throwing in some reflections on his values and telling some stories to illustrate how love might show up in our coaching.
