    Coaching Unpacked: Episode 1 - Cause & Effect
    Oct 22 2024

    Cognitive Coaching and EduPulse bring you: Coaching Unpacked.

    This new series will literally unpack live and real coaching scenarios in short, digestible episodes.

    In this first episode, Sarah and Adam play out a scenario-based coaching session and Chris gets to unpick it live in the moment - cause and effect, along with upstream thinking, is the key to this session.
