Episode notes
Career Pivot From Clinician To Coach
- Utkarsh moved from physiotherapy in Delhi to filming and editing for a Columbia Business School professor and then into startups and coaching.
- That eight-year journey taught him content, mindset, and seeded his move to coaching during the pandemic.
Three Pillars Of Effective Learning
- A strong learning experience depends first on connection, then compassion, and finally communication.
- These elements link learner, facilitator, and content to enable meaningful learning.
Use Coaching And Facilitation Correctly
- Don't expect a coach to hand you ready-made solutions; use coaching to build self-awareness that leads to answers.
- Treat facilitation differently from training: facilitate collective wisdom rather than only deliver content.
