The Coaching Scene

The Coaching Scene podcast takes a candid look at the intricacies of a coaching relationship, with Iacob Bacian and Kruti Shah.

In this episode we discuss our ideal qualities of each person in the coaching partnership, and the essential ingredients of an effective coaching partnership.

Notable quotes:
“And also, actually, sometimes there’s no need to change as such. I think, if we come at it from that perspective, that’s when the journey becomes a little complicated. I think, if change is more like a by-product of what you come to the relationship with, I think that’s easier to digest than entering or coming with a mindset of ‘I’ve got to change’, people can relate quite a negative connotation to that…” - Kruti

“Actually, for me, it’s (collaboration) is the core of the relationship which says the answers will come through the person in coaching but also the conversation. So, in that sense, collaboration comes through all these things I've said in my practice around transparency, feedback loop, ongoing communication.  ” - Iacob

The Coaching Scene podcast takes a candid look at the intricacies of a coaching relationship, with Iacob Bacian and Kruti Shah.

In our second episode we share our reciprocal coaching experiment, our main takeaways from this and personal reflections on how to best prepare for coaching.

Notable quotes:
"Now, when I get in my head about things I think to myself: What would Kruti say right now? And somehow that calms me down and reminds me to let go of trying to control things and draw back into my heart and remember why I am doing this. And also to be a bit more gentle with timing and try to enjoy today." - Iacob

"When you are working on yourself in this way, it's so crucial to realise it is going to be messy. It's not going to be what you expected and you're going to take turns that you didn't plan or didn't intend in any shape or form. But those are exactly the steps that you would have needed. And you wouldn't have realised that until you had this opportunity to discuss it with someone." - Kruti

The Coaching Scene podcast takes a candid look at the intricacies of a coaching relationship, with Iacob Bacian and Kruti Shah. If you are a new coach in the early stages of your practice, or someone who is intrigued about the craft, then THIS is the ideal place for you!

In our first episode we talk about how we started this podcast, what we think coaching is and how it differs from other helping professions.

Notable quotes:
‘And, you know, when you read a case study now, it's a coach writing a piece of writing on the development of another person without them being involved in the writing process. So I was very interested in what happens if the person who has been coached is involved in writing the case study.’ - Iacob

‘We have, you know, hundreds of thousands of thoughts every single day. It is very difficult to condense those and make sense of those, when you're doing it all by yourself. And how rare is it that you really get an opportunity to sit down with somebody, one to one, and pour your heart out, or really not be judged rather, in that space, and just speak about your future, your goals, and everything that is holding you back from getting there, in that one to one setting?’ - Kruti
