Remaining present

We're back after a little break with a topic that many aspiring and experienced coaches wrestle with, the ability to remain present when working with a coachee. During this discussion, you'll hear Stephen, Lou, Louise and Ali discuss their preparation for coaching sessions as well as how they manage moments of interference.
