Coaching Round Table: What I never knew about coaching – until I coached as a volunteer

What have we discovered about coaching, that we only discovered because we volunteered?
In this session of the Coaching Round Table we will explore our experiences of coaching as volunteers. Who did we work with that we wouldn’t have otherwise worked with through our normal professional practice? What new challenges did we face as coaches and how did we address them? And thinking about the people we worked with, how do coachees respond differently to volunteer as opposed to contracted coaches?
Overall, what value has volunteer coaching added to us as coaches?
