Is your coaching evidence-based?

In this episode, I discuss why I am a huge proponent of evidence-based coaching and why coaches ought to use these approaches on themselves.  

Of course, I discuss how evidence-based coaching makes a difference to the lives of clients too.

Even if you don’t use the tools during a session, evidence-based theories and methods can inform your approach and help you coach the *whole* person. The benefits are numerous!
