In this conversation, Dr. Lara, a clinical psychologist and the founder of the Coaches Collective, discusses how the program is designed to support coaches in expanding their expertise and enhancing their skills.

The platform provides a safe space for coaches from all sports and levels of experience to discuss common issues, gain diverse perspectives and learn about human behavior. The discussion also covers the impact of issues like shame, imposter syndrome, and scarcity mindset on coaches.

Dr. Lara also reveals two exciting updates - the introduction of a certification (C4) for psychologically informed coaching and the launch of the all collective, a continuous learning and networking community for coaches collective members.
