Why is a Chemistry Session Important and What Might One Look Like?

In this episode we discuss the importance of a chemistry session in coaching and what one might look like.

Chemistry sessions are the (usually free) meetings that a coach and potential client will have to determine whether or not there is a good fit between both parties. It answers the question; ‘Can we work well together?’

We share our experiences of what makes for effective and ineffective chemistry sessions and explain a model supplied by John Whittington, which has the acronym – STANCE.

The Coaching Question

Exploring the world of coaching in business, for coaches, users and buyers of coaching

Two experienced executive coaches, Sarah Turner and Gregor Findlay discuss topics pertinent to those that commission and use coaching in organisations, as well as for coaches themselves.

We want more coaching conversations to be happening in the world and while there are lots of resources targetted at coaches, there seem to be less targetted at helping those that bring coaches into organisations.
