Episode #55: Claire Pedrick and Lucia Baldelli – The Human Behind The Coach

Every coach has a human story, and these stories contain the wisdom, vulnerability and invaluable lessons that inform our work. In this episode of The Coach’s Journey Podcast, Claire Pedrick and Lucia Baldelli share some of the human stories that have shaped their lives and careers, leading them to become Master Certified Coaches and co-authors of a powerful new book. That book is The Human Behind The Coach, and it’s about the inner work we need to do to cultivate a simpler practice and to demonstrate art in the coaching room. It is a guide to the principles that inform a more human approach to coaching: one that is not bound by tools or hacks, but allows for a natural process and a letting go. The vibrant dynamic between Claire and Lucia gave rise to the book and it shines through in this episode as they share their infectious enthusiasm for transformative coaching work with individuals, teams and organisations.  In this episode, we also talk about: How Agile methodologies help people adapt to change The importance of holding endings The times when it’s appropriate to break the rules How we navigate fundamental differences between our beliefs and values and those of our clients The power of being able to sit with not knowing Claire and Lucia also discuss their virtual book launch, which is taking place on Monday November 13th at 6pm (UK time) - click here for details.
