What I notice is that, at the heart this work is the sharing of coaching expertise, understanding and empathy, from both principle and practice perspectives. Additionally, Mark has been highly capable in nuancing his delivery according to the audience. For example, the coaching practice component of the Coaching in Action day in Adelaide was adapted in response to the coaching readiness of the group, requiring a coaching demonstration to be provided by Mark and Ingrid to provide clarity and insight into an effective coaching conversation.Testimonials from our workshops
