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!

PS: It all started here on MeetUp in 2020, but the Lab has a dedicated home now and a growing membership base. You can learn more about the Lab, and become a member, at www.GoCoachingLab.com
PPS: Most attendees are either members of the Lab or buy tickets via Eventbrite, so if it feels quiet here on MeetUp, that's why. Rest assured there'll be a crowd and plenty of great atmosphere.
PPPS: Non-coaches, curious about what's going on under the hood or keen to experience a coaching session, are more than welcome!
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
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.

FEATURED COACH
This month's guest is none other than Yours Truly, the Lab's Founder, Yannick Jacob. I've known Yannick for, well, all my life. He's been instrumental in shaping not just my coaching approach, but has been a leading voice for existential coaching. He's the author of An Introduction to Existential Coaching and has been training and supervising existential coaches for the past decade. I figured it's been some time since Yannick stepped into the Lab as a coach, and last time the client decided to pull the recording since it got a little deeper than we had anticipated, so here I am, excited about what will happen this time, and looking forward to welcoming you to this session.
BIO & APPROACH
Yannick Jacob is a Coach, Trainer & Supervisor with Masters degrees in Existential Coaching and Applied Positive Psychology. He is part of the teaching faculties at Cambridge University and the International Centre for Coaching Supervision, and he’s the Course Director of the School of Positive Transformation’s Accredited Certificate in Integrative Coaching, for which he gathered many of the world’s most influential coaches and earliest pioneers. Formerly Programme Leader of the MSc Coaching Psychology at the University of East London, Yannick now presents at conferences internationally and his book, An Introduction to Existential Coaching, was published by Routledge. Committed to helping other coaches be the best coaches they can be, Yannick founded and hosts Yannick’s Coaching Lab which gives novice and seasoned coaches an opportunity to witness experienced coaches live in action, and he is the host of Animas Centre for Coaching's popular podcast Coaching Uncaged, as well as his own podcasts Talking about Coaching and Talking about Coaching and Psychedelics.
