🎙️ Getting Better Podcast [Episode #2]
This is the second episode of the Getting Better Podcast, where I’m interviewing interesting people with unique stories and one idea in mind: sparking curiosity to get better at work and life.
In this episode I’m interviewing Emma Alqattan to understand a bit more about professional development coaching. Emma is a ICF-certified career and professional development coach, with a background in management consulting and tech.
More specifically we discussed:
how the coach-client relation works
why it is important to have a coach
how coaches can help us navigate our professional challenges
what is needed to become a professional development coach
and much more.
Recently, she launched her business practice, “Business of Consciousness”, to help professionals elevate their careers through self-awareness and development.
