Narrative Coaching with David Drake
IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a 2-part event and runs on 3rd March AND 7th April to showcase a 2-session coaching journey with the founder of Narrative Coaching, David Drake.
Featured Coach
In March and April we welcome the very founder of Narrative Coaching, David Drake, to the Coaching Lab to deliver a 2-session coaching journey. I've not been able to spend one minute with David without being inspired or reflective in some meaningful way, so I'm excited that he's offered to run not one, but two consecutive sessions across two Labs, during which he will be demonstrating his approach to working with narratives in coaching, and no doubt we'll get to make some meaningful connections with his new book on the five coaching maturities and the future of coaching along the way. Join us for this very special 2-part event!
