Lifting The Lid - Episode 131 - Changing...

Clare Norman & Steve Ridgley
About this episode
In this episode, Clare and Steve talk about the impact of economic decisions (whether by our own UK government by the US presidency or elsewhere in the world).  This conversation was triggered by a communication from a coaching platform to its coaches, but it became much more wide-ranging, as we talked about ripple effects in all areas of our work.  We ask the question “Who tells coaches what we can and cannot do?” and then we meander into other arenas, including a reflection about the confidentiality and data protection of our virtual software platforms and other coach tech.  

As they say after potentially triggering TV shows, “If you are affected by the content of this programme, you can get help by…” talking with your supervisor.  You do not need to face this alone.
