In this episode, Katie talks with co-coaches Kerry Woodcock and Sherry Matheson about their experiences and learnings after over 13 years of co-coaching together. Across the episode we explore: 

• The value of co-coaching, what isn’t co-coaching
• How to shift your attention from yourself as an individual to the power of your relationship
• Finding alignment with a new co-coach
