Episode 48 - The Blueprint of a Leader’s Psyche

There is a fine line between coaching and therapy and often leaders enter coaching to deal with emotional regulation and self-awareness, typically seen as therapy. Our guest Grant introduces us to the Schema Theory framework which provides a valuable model to use in coaching for this exact situation. The approach helps leaders better understand themselves and what drives their behaviour in the boardroom and various work situations. He unpacks fight/flight and freeze in a very insightful way. This is one to bookmark and relisten, jam packed with new and interesting content.
