What does it really mean to bring your full, authentic self into your coaching practice and how can embracing your unique background help transform the experience for your clients?
In this episode of The Coaching Catalysts Podcast, hosts Sarah Bramall and Rebecca Daniel have a passionate and inspiring conversation with leadership coach Ray Pifferrer. From Ray’s multicultural roots and dynamic career journey across continents, to his dedicated work decolonising leadership development and centering DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging), this discussion is packed with wisdom and practical takeaways.
Together, they explore the power of normalising diverse experiences in coaching. Plus the importance of supervision, self-care and restorative practice, and how coaches can weave their own lived wisdom into their practice for deeper client impact.
