Conversations about Kindness

Today I’m welcoming another guest to the show, Simon Bennett.  Simon is a friend of mine, a fellow coach and is keen to bring the concept of kindness to our attention.  Simon’s coaching practice builds on his experience of leading teams in high pressure organisations. He is passionate about working with leaders to best navigate the challenges and opportunities of the modern working world.  Simon shares a home in London with his husband, and teaches Aikido, a Japanese martial art. Simon is an Affiliate member of the European Mentoring and Coaching Council. Simon would love to hear any thoughts or feedback on the podcast, or any enquiries about working together in coaching.
