Madjdy Kassem and Cameron Smoak on Deliberate and Purposeful Coaching

This week, Kavitha is joined by two guests at the forefront of development in coaching excellence who are fresh off of a whirlwind global tour to train new coaches: Cameron Smoak and Madjdy Kassem, the dynamic co-founders of Educe. Madjdy and Cameron share how their years at McKinsey & Co. led to a passion for professional coaching, and how their work today strives to foster deliberate and purposeful relationships in order to shape a new generation of coaches who represent global society as a whole.

Cameron and Madjdy share with Kavitha why they're excited to have a hand in shaping instruction for the Certificate in Professional Coaching Program in alignment with ICF standards, and their plans to seek MCC certification. Along the way, Kavitha finds out what Madjdy thinks about clients with AI chatbots for coaches, how Cameron approaches the coaching of coaches, and what American ski instructors can learn from best practices in professional coaching.
