This is a rich conversation about not being expert, about equity and more… There was a lot of borrowing great insights in the room! You can contact them all: Josephine Knowles Pavlo Cherednychenko Lis Whybrow Liz Price Rosemarie Davidson-Gotobed Claire Pedrick Takeaways Establishing equity in coaching relationships is crucial for empowering people and creating a partnership dynamic. Thinkers should be encouraged to see themselves as experts in their own lives, while also recognizing the contextual nature of coaching. Coaches need to be mindful of cultural and social conditioning, and the impact it may have on clients' expectations and communication styles. Power dynamics, code-switching, and the need for explicitness in coaching conversations are important considerations for effective coaching. The E in Stokers can stand for different concepts, such as essence, equity, or expert, depending on the context and the needs of the thinker. Keywords coaching, Stokers, power, partnership, equity, expert, essence, context, expectations, code-switching  

Today Claire Pedrick MCC is in conversation with Emmy award winning television journalist and coach Jane Hanson who has spent over 30 years helping people learn to communicate better. There’s plenty of tips about creating great video content. And we explore why it matters to be vulnerable and, in the words of Nadia Bolz-Weber why this is about speaking from our scars not our wounds.   Takeaways Know your audience and tailor your message to resonate with them. Focus on your purpose and create short, clear videos that entice viewers. Practice your message and consider your voice, facial expressions, and gestures. Use smartphones to create videos, paying attention to lighting and camera angles. Be vulnerable and share personal stories that resonate with your audience. Building relationships and showing compassion are crucial in business. Believe in yourself and keep practicing to improve your video skills.   Contact Jane through her website https://www.janehanson.com/.   Keywords coaching, videos, brand, audience, purpose, vulnerability, smartphones, lighting, camera angles, relationships
