#92: The Artful Coach and the Soulful Coaching Business: A Joint Episode with Clare Pedrick and Robbie Swale

In this unique crossover episode of The Coaching Inn and The Coach’s Journey Podcast, hosts Claire Pedrick and Robbie Swale come together for the first time to discuss their upcoming collaborative workshop, The Artful Coach and the Soulful Coaching Business, scheduled for 10th May, 2025. This episode is a delightful blend of humor, insightful conversation, and a deep dive into the themes of artful coaching and soulful business practices. In particular: Claire delves into the concept of the Artful Coach and why she prefers that to the idea of ‘mastery’. Claire unpacks why it’s not coaching when the coach is doing more thinking than the thinker. Robbie shares the accidental discovery of the phrase, The Soulful Coaching Business, and why it aligns with what he has seen in the coaching industry. Robbie explains how we can follow our fear to create a business that fulfils us without us having to compromise who we are. As Claire and Robbie wrap up the episode, it’s easy to feel the excitement and anticipation they have for the upcoming workshop… they hope to see you there!

She is a business owner. A mother. A friend. A volunteer. An MCC Master Coach with over 13,000 hours of experience. And she is the author of Simplifying Coaching and host at The Coaching Inn podcast. About these descriptions, Claire says: “All of these are true and each will impact how we start a conversation. With some definitions you might assign me power which I do not deserve.” Claire established 3D Coaching in the 1990s to bring together the simplest and best learning from coaching, to support people in organisations to have more effective conversations with an edge. Coaching for more than 35 years, she believes that the essence of coaching is simple and that it takes time to learn to work that simply.
