Coffee has always brought me comfort.
The smell of coffee takes me straight back to early school mornings when I was a child. The radio playing in the background. My father making coffee in a small pot on the kitchen stove. That particular smell filling the house before everyone was properly awake.
A good coffee. A conversation worth having.
A way of sharing stories about work, people and the things we care about...
Coffee has followed me through different chapters of my life: from moving to India just before turning 30 to discovering beans, blends and roasteries during maternity leave and the pandemic, and wherever my travels took me.
The idea for Coaching Over Coffee came to me in Saudi Arabia, around the same time I was deepening my coaching practice and becoming a PrinciplesYou Certified Coach. What could happen when we create the right conditions for people to slow down and have conversations that go beyond the usual? I wanted a framework that could help people understand themselves, make choices and show up in the world.
Coaching Over Coffee is what happens when coaching leaves the office and becomes a more informal, human conversation, one where we can think deeply, ask better questions and notice what lies beneath the obvious answer.
