Tess Cope & Saiyyidah Zaidi

How Do Your Clients Experience Your Inner Stance?

The keynote will invite participants to explore how they approach client work – and distinguish the nuances of coaching, facilitating, training and holding space.

We will dive into our inner attitude and how this shows up in relation to AND in relationship with the client.

We’ll explore :

• Are we doing too much?
• Are we in the right place?
• Are we the right size?
• Is there a healthy exchange?
