So what the heck is adaptive coaching? A fair question that Leanne Hoagland-Smith tries to answer in her article ‘Adaptive Coaching is Process driven’.

Isn’t all good coaching adaptive coaching? Isn’t it at the core of our profession to attune to the desires, wants and needs of our coachees?

Many coaches market themselves with a solid coaching model; follow these steps and results are guaranteed.

I personally do not believe in a ‘one size fits all’ approach and have an adoptive coaching style that allows for the authentic inner self to emerge.

However, the right conditions must be created for true emergence to be possible. Julia von Flotow did a great job in describing the conditions to create a safe space that allows for the coachee’s inner self to emerge.

In this edition you will discover many tools that will help you to become a more adaptive coach.

We hope you’ll enjoy it!
