It’s not unusual for our members to want to consider the reality of life as a coach. In this interview, we invited Dr Yvette Ankrah MBE to come and share her insight and thoughts about what it takes to be a great coach. We cover:

- What is the process for becoming a coach?

- What is happening in the coaching world at the moment

– what are your thoughts about the landscape of this sector?

- What predictions do you have about what skills and niche areas might be popular over the near to mid term?

- What does a typical day look like for you?

- What are the things you like and dislike about being a coach?

- If someone was to consider this as a profession, what would you ask them to reflect on and consider first?
