The Purpose Driven Movement podcast welcomes special guest Paul Meldrum, co-host of the show, to discuss the value of client-centred coaching. Traditional coaching models are often centred on the coach's knowledge and dictation, which doesn't work well for clients who have their own lives, responsibilities, and stresses. In this insightful episode, co-hosts Tarek and Paul discuss what client-centred coaching is, and how to break down barriers between coach and client. You’ll learn why this approach allows clients to feel more intrinsic motivation, build autonomy, and achieve a sense of mastery. The discussion highlights how this type of coaching can tap into human needs for a better outcome. Listen to this episode to learn more about client-centred coaching and its enormous benefits for you and your clients.
