In Conversation with David Drake

05/04/20 • 19 min

This special episode of the Coaching Kool-Aid is recorded live from the University of Sydney’s Evidence-Based Coaching Conference, where we chat with Dr David Drake – founder of Narrative Coaching – and pick his brain about his unique approach. David explains his belief that the world is changing at a much faster rate than coaching is, and just what the latter needs to do in order to keep up. You may be surprised – you will definitely be entertained. So pull up a chair, sit back, and enjoy the conversation.

In Conversation with Paul Lawrence

Today we're speaking with Dr Paul Lawrence, whose latest research focuses on systemic coaching. As such, he suggests some important questions for anyone to ask themselves before brandishing the badge of “systemic coach”. Paul is Principle at the Centre for Coaching in Organisations and Associate Lecturer in Coaching at the Sydney Business School. He is a prolific author; his three most popular books being Leading Change, Coaching in Three Dimensions, and The Tao of Dialogue. I hope you enjoy the conversation.
