When we turn up to coach, we bring all of who we are as coaches and people, including our personality, emotions, and biography. These factors drive our behaviour, therefore understanding the mechanisms is key to making progress in our behaviour. Tune in for a deep dive on both inherited and learned behaviours, as well as the roles motivations and emotions collaboratively play in making you who you are as a coach. In addition, you'll receive strategies for working with your individual makeup and surrounding influences to guide you on your personal journey.
