Welcome to our BONUS episode of the Business of Executive Coaching Podcast. I am delighted to have a repeat guest with us today,
Dr. Saba Hasanie.

You may have listened to the previous episode where Saba shared her corporate to coach story. Today she is back for many reasons, and especially because she has a book out. Saba’s book is called Unfolding: How Biographical Inquiry Informs Meaning Making in Coaching Psychology and I think it is a must read for executive and leadership coachesIn this conversation, we talk about what it feels like to publish this book, why origin stories matter for coaches, and how the past is always in the room in coaching. Saba explains how her doctoral research developed into the Biographical Dimensions of Meaning Making model and how this has now evolved into what she calls Origins.

We also explore how coaches can work safely when the past comes into coaching, why our own journeys of self-discovery are essential to how we show up, and how Origins work supports both the coach and the client.

In this episode, we cover:

✅ Saba’s journey to writing Unfolding.
✅ Why the past inevitably shows up in coaching.
✅ The Origins approach.
✅ Practical examples of how Origins can be used in coaching.
✅ Saba’s training programme to bring these concepts to life.
✅ How this approach helps coaches build confidence and presence.
