Last year we set about capturing great coaches in action. Why?
Because there just aren’t enough models of great coaching out there. And, if you don’t know what you’re aiming for, it’s extremely hard to get there.
If you’re learning to coach with Steplab, this is the course for you!
With huge thank you to those who let us film them for this course! Including @catnew86@mradamkohlbeck@Anyarthomas@sarah1daniel and many others!
Introducing Intro to Coaching on Steplab - a short, evidence-informed course for those new to coaching or new to Steplab.
Build coaching confidence in just a few hours with practical, step-by-step guidance.
