Janine shares her journey from HR and L&D to solution-focused coaching, a practical, no-nonsense approach built on one idea: find what works and do more of it.

What happens when you take the leap from a successful career into coaching and then stretch yourself even further into supervision? In this inspiring episode of the Coaching Catalysts Podcast, co-hosts Sarah Bramall and Rebecca Daniel are joined by Jacqueline Lawrence, ICF PCC coach, mentor, and coach supervisor, for an honest and energising conversation about growth, bravery, and self-care in the coaching profession.

Jackie shares her unique path from banking law to coaching, the “side hustle” that turned into a calling, and how she navigated launching her coaching business right before the pandemic. They explore the transition from coach to supervisor, the importance of stretching out of the comfort zone, and why supervision is truly “self care for coaches.”
