In this week's podcast I talk to Ben Nathan from Luft Coaching. Ben started his career as an actor and has used the skills he learnt in that profession to help executive coaches become better leaders, communicators and presenters. In his own words:

"Luft Coaching helps business professionals create new insights, become more advanced in their thinking and achieve better results.

An ILM trained Executive Coach, I've spent the last 15 years coaching leaders and managers, focusing on leadership, transition, communication and presenting skills, and work life balance. I've also been a successful actor, working in the West End and the BBC so I bring a creative approach to my work, including storytelling and the great outdoors!

If there's something getting in the way of where you’d like to be, do get in touch."
