Can A Man Coach Women?

At a meeting earlier this week, somebody asked me what my coaching specialism was and it got me thinking about clients I have had over the past two years. 

 

I realised that if I had a specialism, I had not looked for it, I had been lucky enough that it had found me. My specialism was coaching women.

A Hearty Thank You!
