Interview with Coaching in Government co-author Theodora Fitzsimmons

Thursday 8 August

Jackie Arnold has recorded a conversation with American coach Theodora Fitzsimmons about her recent book Coaching in Government, looking at the development of internal coaching in the US Federal Government. It complements the coaching conversations we have been having with politicians, as the book focusses on coaching the administrators tasked with implementing policy.  She has great tips for coaches working in the civic space too.

Jackie says: “Settle into this journey of pioneers, tenacious practitioners, and enthusiastic educators ― together developing a community of coaches within the federal government setting. Engaging “hearts and minds” throughout the system is important, and for those looking for hard monetary figures, the authors provide fascinating and pragmatic insights into capturing the business case, and inviting the reader to harness the wider system to leverage the indicators of success. The quality of our conversations matter.”
