What made you become a coach?
- I started off my career as a clinical mental health professional and I worked for about 10 years.
- Then moved into more service development roles and eventually into quite a big executive role as a general manager of service development.
- I'd worked in therapeutic counseling and had not experienced coaching.
- I moved into working in another organization where I was providing some coaching to a couple of staff working in the diversity and inclusion space and also getting some of my own coaching.
