Have you ever wondered how truly transformative coaching relationships are built?

In this fourth episode of our mini-series on the ICF competencies, we’re exploring the heart of what makes powerful coaching possible: trust and safety. I’ll be sharing why putting the client at the centre of coaching isn’t just a best practice, it’s essential for creating a space where real change can happen.

Join me as we unpack practical ways to foster mutual respect, empathy, and openness. Let's help you create even more impactful sessions with your coaching clients.

Here are the Highlights:
