Beyond Coaching: Addressing Mental Health with Valerie Stevenson
Episode description
Content warning: this episode covers the topic of depression. If you need resources or support, talk to your GP or relevant health practitioner.
As an executive coach, Valerie Stevenson works with both individuals and teams. She is also an accredited supervisor. In her own words what Valerie really wants to be known for is her belief in coaching people from all walks of life which includes coaching alongside those with mental ill-health: “I have had to set some boundaries and acquire new skills and knowledge, but I fundamentally believe this is not an area to shy away from.”
Tune in as we unpack the impact of the pandemic on training and development for mental health awareness, mental health first aid training finding, solutions as coaches, and taking care of our own well-being as coaches and supervisors.
