About This Podcast
This is The Game Plan Coaching Podcast – short, sharp, and full of real coaching stories. Each episode is about the length of a car journey, or lunchtime walk, full of tangible ideas and coaching advice.
In every episode, our guest adds something new to the 'Game Plan'. A shared playbook of ideas, stories, and moments that have shaped their coaching journey, and may rub off on you.
Each episode ends with a piece of 'Game Changing' advice from our guest. Something that you might want to apply, adapt, or reflect on.
Follow the podcast, share it with your coaching friends, and be part of a community that’s about being better at what we do.
Real stories, practical tools, and coaching that makes a difference.
