The Coffee and Conversation Podcast

Brought to you by opus29jane, the Coffee and Conversation Podcast provides a space for amazing people to share their stories and find a 'voice' within our ever changing world. It is a space that simply encourages 'sparky' conversations because there is most definitely something to be learned from every interesting conversation, however unscripted.

Manchester Festival of Coaching - special episode 5 - Kate O'Sullivan

The fifth, and final, special episode in the series supporting the inaugural Manchester Festival of Coaching. This conversation is with Kate, who's story on LinkedIn of active gender bias in coaching inspired one of the sessions at the festival on the 'women in coaching' Saturday. We talk assumption, bias and judgement and how, as human beings, we are naturally wired to fall into these traps. Oh...and we discover that Kate does not like coffee!
