Every coach has a communication default that can work against their own development. Simon and Mark dig into the introvert/extrovert coaching dynamic, why reactive communication creates a free-for-all, and how pre-agreed frameworks change everything. For coaches who want to get their communication right. Simon opens up about coaching as an introvert — the energy cost of stepping up, the habit of going last, and the real risk of holding back too long. With Mark's framework for pre-agreed communication and the rule of three, this one is practical therapy for any coach wrestling with when their voice actually adds value.
