Speaker: Kim O’Hara
CCEs: 1.5 Resource Development
Date: Wednesday, November 2, 2022
Time: 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM Pacific Time
Storytelling and the understanding of a client’s old and new narrative is important in coaching; as important for the coach as it is for the client. When the idea of writing a book comes up, especially if a professional is not a natural writer, there is the presentation of confusion. Why would I do this, and how come the idea won’t go away? When called to write a book, the best way to eliminate the overwhelm and confusion is to drill down into the objectives of the book.
