Nowadays we're almost told what the correct coaching behaviours are. Particularly where motivational behaviours are concerned. But what happens when popular coaching styles clash with your authentic, and most effective, self? In this episode I argue the case for behaviour control, not change, and champion the coach's prerogative to reject popular behaviours or at very least put them on the periphery of your tool kit in order to care for what makes you YOU, when that's acceptable (outside of extreme/harmful cases). But, there are qualifiers here. Tune in to hear more and perhaps embrace my control first, change last behavioural framework. Lets mitigate, not erase; monitor, not correct; channel self-awareness, not self-censorship.
