My Journey from Telling to Asking
I felt like I had lost a client. At the end of the session, he said, “I am confused I don’t know what happened in the discussion today. I didn’t understand anything that was happening”.

COACHING AND INDIGENOUS FOODS: FORAGING VS. CULTIVATING
A couple of weeks ago, I chanced upon this very randomly selected TEDx video on ‘Food and Shame: Reclaiming Vanishing Diets’. The speaker was Aparna Pallavi – a noted environment journalist turned food advocate, whom I had never heard of at the time. She begins by sharing one of her experiences living with an indigenous … Continue reading "COACHING AND INDIGENOUS FOODS: FORAGING VS. CULTIVATING"
Coach them Young
The power of coaching can be a life-changing experience as it allows you to take the effort to challenge yourself and compel you to think deeply within.
