Chris’s session will focus on three aspects: coaching from the corner, who is in your coaching corner, and developing your own coaching trademarks. The session will be split into two sections. During the first section, Chris will share some thoughts, reflections, and pose a question to consider. Participants will gather within small groups to reflect and share some initial thoughts. There will be an open invitation to contact Chris after the session for any coach who wishes to explore the three topics further.
This online seminar aims to support those in roles of coaches and to help to understand the key aspects of their work (see below). The session is also suitable for athletes and anyone who is interested in a discussion on coaching from the corner or developing their own coaching trademarks.
