Hi. I’m Jamie Smart. Welcome to the podcast. This episode is a coaching demonstration I did at one of my recent “Coaching Impact Accelerator” workshops. The Coaching Impact Accelerators are taster sessions for people who are seriously considering joining one of my larger programmes to have an experience of what it’s like to work with me. The sessions include a variety of elements, including a coaching demo with one of the participants.
The demo you’re about to hear was with Caroline Delaney, a Mental Health and Wellbeing Educator who wanted to get clarity on purpose and direction in her work life. And as you’ll hear, what started out seeming like it was about “practical stuff” turned out to be about something much deeper that affects many coaches and changeworkers; the question about whether or not they’re good enough. It turns out that the “Am I good enough?” question typically includes a confusion of two categories: skill-level and identity-level.
