Presence Over Performance: What Coaching Needs to Offer Now (Tracy Sinclair, Coach Advancement)

Coaching emerged to meet a need in the world. But has that need changed? Tracy Sinclair, founder of Coach Advancement and a coach trainer with over 20 years of experience, joins Dr. Steve Jeffs and Erwin de Grave to explore why presence, not performance, is now the most urgent thing coaches can offer. Tracy traces her path from addiction counselling to coaching, then unpacks what she sees shifting: leaders who are physically present but emotionally absent, organisations addicted to pace, and a growing grey area between coaching and therapy. The conversation covers the ICF's coaching mindset competency, the difference between time and space, and why your client's insight might not arrive during the session at all. 0:00 Introduction 2:14 How Tracy got into coaching 4:10 What need is coaching meeting now? 9:51 Presence, burnout, and the pace of work 17:02 AI, humanity, and the future of coaching 23:00 Where can people find Tracy?
