Today we're speaking with Dr Paul Lawrence, whose latest research focuses on systemic coaching. As such, he suggests some important questions for anyone to ask themselves before brandishing the badge of “systemic coach”. Paul is Principle at the Centre for Coaching in Organisations and Associate Lecturer in Coaching at the Sydney Business School. He is a prolific author; his three most popular books being Leading Change, Coaching in Three Dimensions, and The Tao of Dialogue. I hope you enjoy the conversation.
