One of the keys that professional coaching emphasizes is coaching presence. In other words, how you show up as a person, your mindset, your gravitas if you will, can significantly influence your coaching. Some refer to it as a meta-skill in your coaching, but no matter what you call it, it matters and it can change your coaching effectiveness and impact on your coachees.

In this talk we want to explore developing more boldness in your coaching presence. Defining it as—courageousness, confidence, and fearlessness; ready to take risk or face danger.

Yes! this is how I want to coach! Wait maybe not; that seems a bit scary. If you long to be bold but struggle to consistently coach with boldness you are not alone. Join us as we discuss why boldness is vital to our profession and explore ways for you to unlock your own Badass Boldness and go where your coaching hasn’t gone before.
