What an extraordinary series about love in coaching this has been. I’d like to thank all my guests for their best thinking. It’s certainly been shaping my practice. How about yours? It’s also helped me to midwife my next book, working title Love as a Revolutionary Coaching Practice, which will be out in the Autumn.

Guest Post: Love as a Force of Nature in Coaching
This is the last guest blog in this series about love in coaching, and Rishi Rongala takes us by the hand into a more spiritual contemplation on love. This is where my own explorations have taken me, and I rather envy Rishi’s clarity in articulating this, which I find so difficult to pin down in
Guest Blog: Love is Acceptance. Love is a Catalyst.
I saw a wonderful New Year’s message on LinkedIn last week that I’ve adapted: Wishing for a year in which we, as a collective humanity, have the courage to act for love, justice, fairness and peace. With that in mind, we have two more guest posts about love in coaching and then a wrap-up post
Guest Post: The Essence of Coaching with Love
Something different this week… I’ve been asking my coaching connections to share their thoughts about love in coaching. You’ll have seen a number of blogs preceding this post on my website and shared also through my newsletter. Instead of the written word, this time we hear from Executive coach and coach supervisor Neel Arya. Neel
Guest Blog: Love isn’t always soft: What it means to coach men with heart
Blakey and Day talk of the loving boot. That’s what Craig White talks about here in this next post from my wonderful guest bloggers about love in coaching. It’s love that is “fierce and clear and grounded”. I’m so enjoying reading how others express love in their coaching. It feels useful for us all to
Guest Blog: The Coach’s Inner Work as Preparation for More Loving Coaching
In our current context of a Brittle, Anxious, Non-linear and Incomprehensible world order, maybe, just maybe, love is the antidote. I choose to believe that anyway. And I choose to bring love to the fore in my coaching. I want to build momentum through this beautifully loving community, so I have invited those I have

Love in Coaching – Part Nine
Love as Revolutionary Practice Throughout this series, I’ve explored what love looks like in coaching, how it manifests in supervision, the constraints we face in expressing it, and its role in creating psychological safety. I’ve attempted to do this with nuance, acknowledging the complexities and challenges involved. But perhaps I’ve been too gentle. Perhaps it’s
Love in Coaching – Part Eight
Love Doesn’t Run Out The word “uninhibited” keeps coming up for me in therapy. We were talking about how I show up in my marriage when my therapist asked about being more uninhibited in the kindness that I offer. That question connected with something deeply buried inside of me. I’d already grown so much more
Love in Coaching – Part Seven
Being Authentic in How We Present Ourselves, with Love An aspect I’ve been contemplating lately is whether to explicitly include love in my coaching biography and marketing materials. Not as a niche, like a love coach or relationship coach might do, but as a way of being. There’s something powerfully authentic about stating upfront that
Love in Coaching – Part Six
Love’s Role in Psychological Safety The concept of psychological safety isn’t new—Amy Edmondson at Harvard has been researching it for decades in organisational contexts. And my new friend and colleague Will Parks has just published a book called Graceful Leadership, which has a whole chapter about psychological safety that is worth reading. Both Will and
