Lifting The Lid - Episode 111 - Are you ...

Clare Norman & Steve Ridgley
About this episode
"How does one know to say you're not fit for a session as a coach?" This was the group supervision question raised recently that Steve and Clare explore.

Maybe you are physically, mentally or emotionally not at your 'best' level, but don't want to cancel with your client as they may judge you, you may feel guilty, or maybe you simply need the money?

This a great topic for group supervision because we will all, as coaches, experience physical, emotional and mental 'dips' because ... we are all human.
