How I like to coach…
I love getting the most out of individuals and teams and this starts with getting a deep understanding of the people I coach and their key drivers. My style is very open, relaxed and conversational and I practice active listening to understand what people are saying and my curiosity will lead me to ask insightful and at times challenging questions. This takes the conversation to a very thought-provoking, sometimes emotional, level which I believe is critical in order to fully understand people’s needs, challenges & objectives.
