“We're constantly asking them to imagine, and for me, that's the root of coaching, and it's also the root of creativity.”

Beth Clare McManus, a coaching psychologist and illustrator, joins our host, Maxine Bell, for this rich and fascinating episode where she shares her experiments with creativity in her coaching practice, the impact on clients and the results of her MSc research into ‘Music and Mark-Making in Coaching Supervision.’

Beth advocates that all coaching is creative by its very nature, explaining the difference between creativity and the use of innovative tools. In this podcast, learn how to facilitate responsible, creative experimentation that is client-focused and allows us, as coaches, to stretch the comfort zones of our own practice.

Art and music can trigger emotions more quickly, and Beth shares her knowledge of how to create boundaries and space that feels safe and right for the client, but without removing the challenge that coaching needs to bring to create change. An episode not to be missed!
