Online OBCAMS Session - How coaches ‘show up’?
Working where it’s hot, dusty and dangerous: Rachel Ellison recounts the story of one female leader working in a war zone.
Sometimes people use the expression ‘how you show up’ to say something about how you are, or how you present in the moment. I wondered whether there was a way that coaches were expected to show up, where those expectations came from, and what we did as a result.
This session will explore where we get our ‘rules’ from as coaches, our perceptions of how coaches are meant to be, and how that impacts us. My question illuminated some fascinating dynamics at play, both in and out of the coaching room.
