What we’re about
## Welcome to Yannick's Coaching Lab!
I’m Yannick, I love coaching, and I created this Lab to give coaches the opportunity to witness highly experienced coaches live at work.
### If you've ever seen a coach in action, you know what a massively valuable learning experience it is.
And that is why I created The Coaching Lab, where you get to be a fly on the wall during a 45-minute live coaching session, talk to the coach & client about their experience, and practise your own skills as part of an intimate and friendly community.
Over the years, The Coaching Lab has become a valuable asset in the lives of many coaches. Both beginners and seasoned practitioners alike tell us how much they love the opportunity to take a look inside the minds of other coaches. It’s enlightening and revealing to hear coaches reflect on the ‘what, why & how’ of their coaching approach, and to see a range of different styles in action.
If you’ve ever felt that life can be lonely as a coach, or you want to learn new techniques, or try out a new modality or way of being before using them with paying clients, then The Coaching Lab was made for you.
I hope to see you at one of our next events!

PPPPS: If you would like to get some free coaching in the Lab, and you wouldn't mind an (invisible) audience, you can apply to be a client for one of our invited coaches here.

FEATURED COACH
This one's been a year in the making and I'm so excited that the wonderfully deep and integral Steve March agreed to showcase his approach to coaching in our Lab. Steve's coaching draws on fascinating depth and brings together a range of different lenses and approaches, culminating in "Alethia Coaching" which he's been teaching to coaches for the past decade and will be opening up for us in this month's event.
BIO & APPROACH
Steve says:
"Hi, I'm Steve March, founder of Aletheia (integralunfoldment.com). I'm a champion for the power and wonder of the human spirit. Today, humanity is collectively facing a poly-crisis of enormous scale and complexity rooted in a meta-crisis. In my view, this challenging situation is calling us to become a new kind of human being, one whose ways of being more sustainably care for the whole (instead of just our part). I created Aletheia, an emerging ecosystem of courses, practices groups, and communities to gather and support people who want to take up this critical project. Our core offering is training in Aletheia Coaching, a next-generation bio-psycho-social-spiritual-eco coaching methodology that shifts the focus of transformation from self-improvement to unfoldment. Unfoldment is an antidote to seemingly endless self-improvement projects and offers a way to navigate the complex system of crises we face. Formerly, I worked in the field of software development for 15 years both as a software engineer and a manager in large corporations and in smaller and more nimble companies. Today, I often coach leaders in hi-tech and bio-tech. I have been a professional coach since 2000 and a coach trainer since 2003, previously as senior faculty at New Ventures West from 2009-2019. I left the corporate world in 2006 and founded Aletheia in 2013. As of our ten-year anniversary, Aletheia has graduates on six continents (still working to break into the Antarctica market). I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and can often be found exploring and enjoying the surrounding nature or cooking when I'm not working as a coach or trainer."
YOUR HOST
Your host and facilitator is Yannick Jacob, professional coach, trainer and supervisor with over a decade of experience. Yannick is a published coaching author, teaching faculty at Cambridge University, Course Director of the acclaimed ACIC and former Programme Leader of the MSc Coaching Psychology at the University of East London.
AGENDA
Join us for an inside-look under the hood of coaching, find out how and why coaches make certain decisions and how they choose their interventions. You get to witness how the client is experiencing different coaching approaches and we hope you'll get lots of inspiration for your own coaching practice.

WELCOME TO YANNICK'S COACHING LAB!

FEATURED COACH
I've known Linh for years, and I think her work is SO important. If I had a penny for every person I meet (myself included) who's struggling with what and how they eat, I'd, well, have sacks full of pennies! And living in a cultural context of systemic body shaming, most of us could do with doing some work around our relationship with our bodies, essentially bettering our sense of self-acceptance (one of the key pillars of psychological wellbeing btw!). So please get excited with me to see Linh in action with a client, and to get the chance to dig into her approach and way of working.
BIO & APPROACH
What does eating have to do with living an authentic life?
Linh Phan, founder of Bona Fide Life Coaching, has a theory that having a good relationship with food can create more alignment with one’s true desires.
She graduated with an honours degree in psychology from the University of Waterloo (Canada) and is certified as a Transformational Coach and an Intuitive Eating Counsellor.
Growing up, Linh was constantly surrounded by food in her parents’ restaurant in rural Ontario. For her, food is a source of connection and love. However, Linh knows that many people have complicated relationships with food – and quite often, their bodies – and she has made it her mission to raise awareness around diet culture and the harmful effects it has on people’s physical and mental health. Linh works with people who struggle with shame and guilt around eating and helps them find joy and peace with food – and ultimately, with themselves.
