BLOG / PERSPECTIVES
Coaching, communication, technology, work and change. Sometimes separately. Usually all at once.
Big Five and the Enneagram can both spark useful reflection, but they do very different jobs. One has a much stronger psychometric foundation; the other can open questions about motivation and recurring patterns.
Read more →Moving from expert to manager changes more than your job title. It changes how you create value, make decisions and work through other people rather than around them.
Read more →Data can make leadership decisions better, until the metric starts replacing the conversation. A look at KPIs, proxies and what a dashboard simply cannot see.
Read more →“We need to communicate better” is often a symptom, not a diagnosis. Team coaching can surface the roles, decision rules, handovers and invisible patterns shaping how a team really works.
Read more →AI can already ask good questions, organise thoughts and support reflection. The more interesting question is which parts of coaching actually require a human.
Read more →Not every signal requires action. But sometimes we miss it, dismiss it or minimize it before we even check whether it has something important to tell us.
Read more →In technology, we identify the root cause, remove the error and restore the system. In coaching, asking why does not always take us where we actually need to go.
Read more →Why sometimes we don't need more data or another piece of advice — just a conversation that helps us hear our own thinking more clearly.
Read more →Coaching does not need to begin with the assumption that something is wrong with you. It can begin with curiosity about what you already know, need and may not yet be able to see.
Read more →The session may be the spark. Some of the most important work happens afterwards — when ideas settle, action follows and change continues quietly in the background.
Read more →On learning from people who raise the bar, amateur running, the technology community and why success is rarely a solo sport.
Read more →Completing coaching school did not give me all the answers. Quite the opposite — I think I have even more questions now, and much more respect for the responsibility that comes with working with another person.
Read more →AI supports selected parts of my work — it does not replace my judgement, responsibility or relationship with the client.
I use AI tools for tasks such as research, organising information, structuring content and preparing materials. I treat AI as support for my work — not as an autonomous author or decision-maker. Anything I publish or use professionally remains my responsibility.
In coaching, I do not use AI to automatically assess, diagnose or make decisions about a client. AI does not replace attention, confidentiality or human responsibility for the coaching relationship.
AI may support the process. Human responsibility remains.
