Why it Matters to Be Yourself as a Coach with Auriel Majumdar and Stephen Brown

“I don’t think that being creative is the problem, but how it will land or what people will say.”

Auriel Majumdar, a creative coach, educator, supervisor and poet, and Stephen Brown, coach, consultant and re-emerging music composer, join our host Maxine Bell to share their collaboration of music and poetry, created to reflect the coaching journey.

This podcast episode is full of thought-provoking insights and personal experiences that demonstrate creativity’s ability to provide more data for a better coaching experience for both coach and client. They bravely share their own vulnerability in discovering their creativity, how it has enhanced their coaching practice and how it has given them a sense of fulfilment and authenticity that wasn’t there before.

The conversation is rich, informative and honest, and you will be able to hear the complete music track they created and ponder on its meaning for yourself. Enjoy listening to this very inspiring episode.
