Reflections on the Art of Being Human at Work.

Presence Cannot Be Performed Good therapy and good coaching exist not to protect our illusions and projections but to challenge them. Wherever people come seeking transformation, there must be a willingness to confront what has gone unseen.
An Elder’s Compass: A Guide for Would-Be Coaches Coaching is not about techniques alone. It is about becoming the kind of person who can hold another in their becoming. If this is the path you choose, walk it with reverence and grace.
When a Team Isn’t a Group: What Coaches Need That They Don’t Know to Ask For In a team, the coach is responsible for what unfolds between the people in the room. In a group, the coach is responsible for noticing what unfolds within themselves.
Managing Boundaries in Coaching: Balancing Safety and Humanity Boundaries are an essential yet often unnoticed structure that enhances safety and effectiveness in coaching relationships. When clearly established, they create a secure environment for clients to explore and develop. Conversely, unclear boundaries can lead to misunderstandings, dependency, or distrust between the coach and client, or among team members.
When Coaching Stops Working: The Hidden Doorway of Supervision One of the most overlooked aspects of coaching is how we, as coaches, bring ourselves into the work. The stuck moments, the unexpected discomfort, the dynamics that subtly unsettle us—these aren’t just client issues. They are invitations to turn toward what’s happening in us.

Erotic Transferrence: When Attraction Enters the Coaching Room Attraction in a coaching relationship can be subtle and show up in different ways — not always obvious or easy to name. These moments can leave a coach questioning what’s going on, whether in one-to-one work, in groups, or in team coaching. Hopefully, supervisors are trained to work with the strong feelings that can emerge, helping coaches make sense of what’s happening in their work.
Preparing to Bring a Case for Coaching Supervision: A Journey of Reflection and Discovery Supervision, at its best, is not about performance—it’s about discovery. It’s about seeing ourselves, our clients, and the work we do with fresh eyes. But to do that, we must be willing to step into the unknown, to let our questions take the lead, and to trust that what emerges will bring us closer to the truth.
Coach Supervision: What It Is, What It Isn’t, and Why It Matters What supervision really is—how it supports coaches, why it’s often misunderstood, and what happens when you have a place to bring the complexities of your work.
How to Start a Coaching Business: Advice for New Coaches Starting a coaching business isn’t about perfecting your brand, launching a website, or even learning a signature method. Before any of that, it starts with a deeper journey: understanding yourself.
Who Holds Space for the Coach? As a coach, you hold space for others. You sit with their uncertainty, their struggles, their breakthroughs. You listen deeply. You guide. You witness. But where do you go when you need the same?
