Craig O’Flaherty, Director of the Centre for Coaching at the UCT Graduate School of Business, spoke to Kieno Kammies about how coaching can help us overcome challenges and barriers, whether they've been created by others or by ourselves.
He says "So often we tend to focus on the problem rather than on the person and on asking how we can think and feel differently, but more importantly, what we can do to act in a different way, which is going to change the circumstances around us." O'Flaherty stresses the importance of learning to unlearn, and relearn, and that you can’t help others to change without learning to change yourself.
