the Coaching Studio with Claire Pedrick, MCC
In this episode of The Coaching Studio, Lyssa deHart welcomes Claire Pedrick, MCC, an accomplished coach, adventurer, and author of Simplifying Coaching (2020) and The Human Behind the Coach (2023). Claire brings a refreshingly down-to-earth approach to coaching, emphasizing simplicity while maintaining profound impact. Together, they explore how coaching can be powerfully simple, and how Claire's journey—like her 600-kilometer trek on the Camino de Santiago—informs her belief in walking alongside clients as they find their own path.
The conversation dives deep into what it means to truly “be with” clients, shedding unnecessary complexity to focus on authentic listening and meaningful partnership. Claire challenges the notion that coaching must be complicated, showing how transformative shifts can arise from a space of simple, genuine presence. Her personal stories, including her long history in coaching dating back to the 1980s and reflections on the commercialization of the field, provide valuable insights for both new and seasoned coaches.
Claire shared an idea,"thought partner" and "thinker" which blew my mind and has fundamentally shifted how I think about the concepts of "coach" and "client." This idea originated in the work of Nancy Kline, and her work in Time to Think.
Listeners will leave with a fresh perspective on how to facilitate transformative coaching sessions by trusting in simplicity, focusing on what really matters, and allowing clients to lead their own breakthroughs.
