Written by The Coaching Manual

Over the last few months, we have had some excellent guests feature in the first season of our web series 'Coaching Focus'.

Coaches from around the world have joined us to discuss some of the best sessions on The Coaching Manual platform: what they like about the sessions, what they would do differently, and what they would do to develop the concepts.

Before we move onto Coaching Focus Season Two, we thought we would take a look back at the first 11 episodes of Coaching Focus, and remind you of some of the insightful discussions we have already had with some of our coaching partners.
