In this episode, Katie welcomes back Sandra Cain, Director of Curriculum and senior Faculty at CRR Global, to talk about alignment. Across this conversation, they discuss: 

• Why alignment coaching is foundational to the ORSC approach
• The challenges surrounding alignment coaching
• The importance of bilateral ventilation
• Shifting from positions to common interests 
• Humanizing the other person and seeing them as a person and not the problem

Sandra Cain coaches individuals, pairs, and teams around the world. Her background includes 15 years of experience at American Express with a variety of leadership and personal development roles. In addition to leading the CRR Global Core Curriculum, she is also Associate Director of the Certification Program and on faculty for The Coaches Training Institute. Her stand for this work is that since we’re already in relationships, we might as well be conscious and intentional about who we are, what we do, and how we live.


For over 20 years, CRR Global has accompanied leaders, teams, and practitioners on their journey to build stronger relationships by focusing on the relationship itself, not only the individuals occupying it. This leads to a community of changemakers around the world. Supported by a global network of Faculty and Partners, we connect, inspire, and equip change agents to shift systems, one relationship at a time

We believe Relationship Matters, from humanity to nature, to the larger whole.
