Episode 111: Never let a good crisis go to waste with Murray Guest and Steph Clarke
*BONUS EPISODE* During these unprecedented Covid-19 times, I thought it would be helpful for listeners to lean into a conversation between their facilitation peers.
With less than 24 hours notice, I invited Murray Guest and Steph Clarke onto a Zoom call, to have an open conversation on how we're feeling, how we're responding, and how our clients are also adapting to the ever-evolving situation.
Hope you enjoy this impromptu, imperfect episode!
About Steph Clarke
Steph is a Team Coach and was a guest on Episodes 33 and 53. She hosts the Steph's Business Bookshelf podcast, and
Steph is an accountant turned facilitator and team coach and pommy (that’s a Brit living in Australia for the uninitiated) based in Melbourne.
She loves finding tools, techniques and concepts that are proven and work so she can apply them and share with you and your teams. You’ll find that most of her workshops and facilitation combines the best of leadership theory, team coaching, the actionable science of behaviour change and habit building; along with the real life stories of her and her clients, to set your team up for success in effectively applying the lessons.
When she’s not transforming teams you’ll find her in the pilates studio, in the kitchen, on a plane or hiding somewhere with a podcast, book or a great Spotify playlist.
Listen to her podcast, Steph's Business Bookshelf - where she does the reading, so you don't have to!
