It took one of our students to remind us that a podcast on how we do what we do at 3D would be a great idea! In this bonus episode at the start of International Coaching Week, Claire Pedrick MCC interviews Shaney Crawford about her coaching journey and experiences. Shani shares how she discovered coaching through a podcast and her interest in becoming a better listener. She discusses the transformative impact her training with 3D had on her coaching skills. 

Shani also talks about her work as the head of an international school in Japan and her personal journey of overcoming addiction. The conversation highlights the importance of simplicity, containment, and truly hearing others in coaching. In this conversation, Claire and Shaney discuss the importance of creating a safe space for people to share their stories without interruption. They explore the distinction between those who feel obligated to share and those who genuinely need their story to be heard. Hear the journey of becoming an artful coach and the importance of narrowing the gap between your best and hardest coaching sessions. 

Shani shares her experiences with Action Learning Facilitator training and the challenges of transitioning from free clients to paid clients. They also touch on the idea of forming a community of coaching cohorts and the benefits of leaving space in online training for conversations.
