The client you’re working with may have had previous coaches, or work with other coaches at the same time as working with you, or ‚Äö√Ñ√¨ surprise ‚Äö√Ñ√¨ during your work together another coach appears on the scene. Here’s a real example:

Executive A begins to work with a specialist on presentation skills. She is working on developing a more engaging style when speaking to large groups. You’ve been working with her on leadership style.

Then her boss engages a specialist to work with the full leadership team on their vision. As part of this work, this specialist has room to take on 1:1 coaching with members of the team, using what the specialist observes and gleans from the team’s session.

What does this raise for you? How would you manage this? (And there is also the possibility of a check-in with the previous coach)
