The Coaching Inn

Chris Hewitt comes to The Coaching Inn to talk to Claire Pedrick MCC. He shares his journey to coaching and the importance of serving and listening to others. He discusses the challenges of creating a learning culture in organisations and the need for genuine coaching and supervision.

The conversation also touches on the power of action learning sets and the impact of truly being heard. Chris emphasises the importance of keeping the fixer mindset out of coaching and the value of deep listening. He hopes to continue serving and making a difference through his coaching work.
