Politics and Coaching with David Clutterbuck

Politics plays a major role in every part of our lives. Although as coaches we like to see ourselves as above the murk of political intrigue, the reality is that we cannot avoid politics. In this podcast, David Clutterbuck, co-founder and lifetime ambassador of the European Mentoring and Coaching Council talks about how we can help navigate our client through the complexities of organizational loyalties, the rivalries between professional bodies, or how we position our own coaching practice versus those of competitors.
