The Coffee and Conversation Podcast

Manchester Festival of Coaching - special episode 5 - Kate O'Sullivan

The fifth, and final, special episode in the series supporting the inaugural Manchester Festival of Coaching. This conversation is with Kate, who's story on LinkedIn of active gender bias in coaching inspired one of the sessions at the festival on the 'women in coaching' Saturday. We talk assumption, bias and judgement and how, as human beings, we are naturally wired to fall into these traps. Oh...and we discover that Kate does not like coffee!
