Episode 120 - Why Coaching Has a Depth Problem

We’re living through a moment of extraordinary acceleration in technology, work, culture, identity and everyday life.

But as the outer world becomes faster and more complex, something else is happening: people are turning inward.

In this episode, we explore why coaching is entering an important new phase and the shifts coaches and practitioners need to make to ensure they're ready to meet what's coming.

You'll learn:

:: Why conventional coaching can reach a strange ceiling when clients already *know* what they need to do :: Why the person we’re coaching isn't always the person they believe themselves to be :: How unconscious adaptations, persona and disowned parts of the self shape our lives :: Why Jung's concept of individuation changes the purpose of coaching :: Why people are increasingly seeking answers to questions of identity, meaning and purpose :: Why developing a specialised depth skillset can transform both your coaching practice and professional value
