Reading list part 2
I'm recapping some posts that's been published over the past 8 months, highlighting some I'm revisiting in preseason
This is not a photo of my own coaching notebooks, but it might as well be! Every preseason, I think about what I’ll add or amend in my practice. To help me with that I’m revisiting some of the articles I’ve posted so far this year.
Otherwise, I feel a tendancy to hit ‘publish’ and then we (as a Coaching Care Creativity collective) and I (within my coaching practice) never revisit what we might have bookmarked.
On Monday I looked at some guest posts, today I’m highlighting some of my articles that I’m re-reading in preseason.
