درباره این اپیزود
What does it really take to build a thriving coaching culture inside organisations today and where does technology like AI fit in? In this episode, co-hosts Sarah Bramall and Rebecca Daniel sit down with Lisa Stone, Head of Coaching at Right Management and senior consultant at Talent Solutions, for an honest, wide-ranging conversation covering the real opportunities and challenges facing coaches and organisations in 2026.
Lisa shares her personal journey from balancing a long career in talent development with motherhood and adoption, to finally pursuing her formal coaching accreditation after starting out with informal guidance years earlier.
The conversation explores finding your ‘secret sauce’ as a coach and what’s changing in the coaching landscape. The rise of group and peer coaching, the growing push for diversity and inclusivity (including lived experience and neurodiversity), and how organisations can make coaching more scalable without losing the magic of human connection. This episode is packed with reflection, strategy, and practical inspiration for the future of coaching.
