Why does coaching need to be more creative?

Four creative coaches, Andréa Watts, Stephen Brown, Beth Clare McManus and Pearl Jordan joined our host Maxine Bell, for the final episode of the Let’s Make Coaching Creative podcast series last year in a wonderful, thought-provoking panel discussion.

Together, they discuss the challenges they have faced and the strong evidence they have that using creative tools and a creative approach has led to powerful results. Learn why they think there is a rise in creative techniques in coaching and what kind of future they see for creative coaches and coaching as a creative tool itself.  

In this panel chat, they also discuss why creative coaching is such a valuable and vital tool for coaches to use in an ever complex and challenging world, seeing it an important part of creating a better world and more authentic coaches.

“The world of coaching has changed dramatically in recent years...arguably it has been a revolution not an evolution. The purpose of this paper is to take stock for a moment and catch breath, namely to look a little more closely, at those changes, the consequences and the challenges and opportunities that arise.”
