A great read, Michael, and relatable. One practical question I have, having done a few stints of research into coaching qualifications: Why did you decide it was necessary to get a qualification? And how did you decide on the coactive org?
Thanks! I wanted the training because, while I've always been the guy who people came to for coaching like chats, I didn't know how to be a coach. There is a real set of skills that are important to learn to be an effective coach, I think. It's possible to pick them up on your own, but I wanted to learn from best, and they seemed like the best. I discovered them because I worked with a coactive coach who really impressed me.
