A remarkable conversation with a masterful coach that gets to the heart of coaching and what makes it most magical when most simple - this is one of my favourite episodes with one of my favourite people.Today it is my great privilege to welcome master coach Claire Pedrick to the podcast. We’ve known each other for about a year as I’ve been part of one of her coaching supervision groups and she has been quite pivotal in helping me to think differently about coaching and to evolve my own practice. Today I’m looking forward to delving into what makes her tick and what brings her joy.In preparation for this conversation I asked Claire to describe herself, and in her answer you get something of her essence.“I could say that I am a human who facilitates other people’s thinking. A business owner. A mother. A friend. A volunteer. A master coach with over 13,000 hours of coaching experience. The author of Simplifying Coaching and the host of the Coaching Inn podcast. All of these are true and each will impact how we start a conversation. With some definitions you might assign me power which I do not deserve.”She also says “Every so often I go for a very long walk – in 2022 it was 600km on the Camino in Spain.Well that’s what Claire says about Claire. What I’m going to say about Claire is that she epitomises wisdom through simplicity, and is also humble and deeply generous with her time and insight. And she was awarded the 2022 Outstanding Contribution to Coaching Award from Henley Business School.Her upcoming book, co-authored with another master coach, Lucia Baldelli, is called “The Human Behind the Coach – How Great Coaches Transform Themselves First.”There is much about Claire I don’t know and I can’t tell you how much I’ve been looking forward to this conversation, learning more about her journey, the lessons learned along the way and of course her Unlock Moments of remarkable clarity.--Claire Pedrick: https://www.linkedin.com/in/clairepedrick/3D Coaching: https://www.3dcoaching.com/The Coaching Inn: https://thecoachinginn.podbean.com/ The Unlock Moment is hosted by Dr Gary Crotaz, PhD — master interviewer, executive coach and author.
