Coaches Rising

In this episode of the Coaches Rising podcast, we speak with Barrett Brooks about the hidden inner struggles many creative leaders face, the deeper questions that emerge in times of transition, and how presence, grief, and values-based alignment can reshape both leadership and ambition. Together we explore the edge of provocative coaching, the challenge of client resistance, and the practical path of growing a thriving presence-based coaching practice through authentic connection and relational trust.
