The EMCC (European Mentoring and Coaching Council) is one of the leading professional bodies for coaching and mentoring worldwide. Their accreditation framework is designed to recognise coaches who meet rigorous standards of practice, training and ethical conduct, aligned with the EMCC Global Code of Ethics.

For me, this is about more than a credential. It represents a commitment to working with integrity, to ongoing put what coaching can do for you, or what accreditation means in practice, I'm always happy to talk.rofessional development, and to holding myself accountable to the standards my clients deserve.

Thank you Shelley for the wonderful review of my Udemy course Managing Toxic Work Relationships: Strategies for Dealing with Difficult or Narcissistic Colleagues and Bosses.

I wrote this course from personal experience. Unfortunately I've had my fair share of dealing with different types of toxic colleagues and bosses. It's one of the reasons I decided to become a coach: so I should be my own boss but also help others who are struggling to deal with difficult workplace situations.

It isn't something we shouldn't have to put up with but unfortunately we will come across so many during our careers and they can make our lives hell!

I've also faced the awkward situation of a boss developing feelings for me. I didn't handle it well at the time, so through my course and my coaching practice I hope to help others deal with it way better than I did!

Saying yes when you mean no is not a habit. It is almost always meeting a real psychological need.

The behaviour makes complete sense once you understand the need beneath it. First identify which needs are driving your yes, so you can find less costly ways to meet them.

Is the strategy still working? What is the full cost of meeting the need this way?

Coaching isn't just sitting back and asking open questions.  You also need to know how to ask powerful, insightful questions that lead to real breakthroughs and guide the client to the answers they have within them.

It’s a self-guided discovery with practical outcomes.  A coach works with you to define what you want to change and translate those ideas into concrete actions.

Let me know in the comments section if you have any questions about what coaching is or isn’t, or how it works.
