Julie Luscombe and Clare Humbleby emailed info@3dcoaching.com asking if Claire Pedrick MCC would be interested in hosting a conversation.

We are two self employed coaches who have not written a book, do not host a podcast and have nothing to promote - so we are slightly in awe of your other podcast guests!! But we do come from Jersey so that is a bit unique.

We would like to talk about:

• Our journeys to get to where we are as coaches as we are both proof of concept of the areas we coach in 

• How we met and have developed our own support network (solo founder forum together with another colleague, a local coach collective, book club, training events, sharing CPD) in essence creating our own ‘team’ as being self employed coaches can potentially be a lonely place to be

• The books that have helped us on our own journey 

We loved the conversation so much that we will host more Book Corners. Get together with up to 5 coach friends or colleagues and email info@3dcoaching.com and we will choose some groups to join Claire on a future episode.

Here are the books we talk about:

• 4000 weeks  Oliver Burkeman
• Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life by Richard Rohr  
• A Coaching Business in a Book - Sarah Short - and listen to our conversation when she came to The Coaching Inn
• Have you read?
• Creative Career Coaching Jeffrey Madoff
• A Beautiful Way to Coach Fiona Parashar
• Do Less Achieve More Kate Northrup
