In this episode, Tom and Tomas are joined by Dr Sam Humphrey, CEO and founder of Grit, for a rich conversation about the evolution of coaching and what truly makes it effective.
With nearly 25 years of experience shaping coaching inside organisations, Sam offers a rare perspective on how the field has changed, the risks of poor practice, and the importance of clarity, boundaries and ethics.
She shares stories from her early days establishing global coaching frameworks, the challenges she’s seen when organisations rush into coaching without the right setup, and her belief that the real craft sits in the quality of thinking, not the tools.
Sam also talks openly about her own development, the role of supervision, and how she unexpectedly persuaded Brian Cox to appear on her podcast.
This conversation shines a light on what coaching can, and should be when it’s done well.
