Coaching success

Tom Hartley is coaching team lead with the independent charity UK Coaching, an organisation that supports coaches across a broad range of different sports. Having worked around the world in different coaching roles for over 20 years, Tom believes that communication and the relationships lie at the heart of successful coaching. As coaching is a skill also relevant to many different roles outside sport, we explore principles and concepts that can be applied to support the creation of successful management or development plans. In this episode, Tom talk's about: recognising the challenges that coaches face, building rapport and the benefits of showing vulnerability, using Motivational Interviewing (MI) to create an environment for effective communication.
