Coach Conversations Podcast
Welcome to Coach Conversations, the podcast where thoughtful coaches, leaders, and learners come together to explore what great coaching really looks like in practice.
Hosted by Brendon Le Lievre, each episode features rich, honest conversations with experienced coaches who share their approaches, insights, and lessons from the real world. Together, we explore the craft of coaching, the business of coaching, and the inner work that supports sustainable, ethical practice.
Whether you are a practising coach, an aspiring coach, a leader using coaching skills at work, or someone curious about personal growth, this podcast is designed for you. Every conversation is an opportunity to deepen your awareness, strengthen your presence, and sharpen your ability to listen, question, and connect.
Brendon brings his background in leadership development, supervision, and improv-informed practice to create a space that is reflective, practical, and human. Expect thoughtful dialogue, useful frameworks, and stories that illuminate both the challenges and rewards of coaching.
Coach Conversations is for anyone who wants to have better conversations, build stronger relationships, and make a positive impact in their teams, organisations, and lives.
