Holding up the Unvarnished Mirror: Frank Feedback in Coaching – Monday 14th September at midday for 90 minutes – with guest speaker Trevor Hudson – Feedback is often touted as a cornerstone of development, yet in practice, it remains one of the most underutilised and diluted tools in a coach’s toolkit. Too frequently, we hide behind the safety of the “feedback sandwich” or soften our observations to avoid discomfort, inadvertently prioritising our own comfort over the client’s growth. Real, transformative coaching demands something much braver: exceptionally frank, unfiltered feedback., perfectly timed. When delivered from a place of deep respect and clean intent, raw feedback acts as an unvarnished mirror, exposing the blind spots, deflections, and subtle self-sabotages that clients routinely miss. It cuts through the corporate noise and polite stories, forcing an authentic pause that gentler interventions simply cannot achieve. Mastering this level of candour requires a fundamental shift in the coach’s posture. It means moving away from the “no-guidance” role and instead sharing observations as a grounded, real-time response to how the client is showing up – coming from a place of choice. Frank feedback isn’t about being brutal; it is about being fiercely responsible for the client’s awareness. By naming the elephant in the room—whether it’s a contradiction in their narrative, a defensive shift in their energy, or a pattern of avoiding accountability—you grant them the ultimate dignity of the truth. This webinar will explore how to cultivate the internal stability required to deliver these sharp insights cleanly, ensuring your feedback serves as a catalyst for genuine culture change rather than a moment of friction
