If there is one lesson I have learnt above all others throughout my career, there is nothing more powerful than a private, uninterrupted, trusting conversation.

The problem now is finding the time, space and safety to hold them. The reason I trained as a sports psychologist was to hold these private conversations, I can’t really call them meetings.

Often we think they must be structured, with an agenda, running to time, but I don’t agree with that synopsis.  I find that if the right environment is created, with no distractions, with no time limit even, then the most powerful conversation can take place. 

I have no hesitation in saying that some of the most powerful and revealing coaching conversations have taken place when people simply go for a walk with me and my dog, free of distractions and any form of technology. 

If you would like to hold one or a series of coaching conversations, please do contact me and I will be guided by you as to when and where you want to talk.
