Episode Six: Make a Change to Make a Difference with Karl Perry

All aboard the ‘coach-acoaster’. In this episode, Adam talks with Coach and Author Karl Perry. Karl’s route into coaching wasn’t straightforward. After being forced to close his well-established business due to COVID-19 and dealing with a personal loss, Karl experienced a cardiac arrest at home. It was this series of events which found him living what he describes as his ‘third life’, a life in which a simple conversation with a friend using Barefoot’s Values Cards, led him to our door.

At the time of recording, Karl had just completed the Barefoot Coach Training Programme, an experience which he describes as being like riding his very own 'coach-acoaster'. Whether you are thinking about training as a coach, or if you are in the process of training, this is an episode not to be missed.
