Ep 49: Leadership coach Dr Marcia Reynolds: Reflective inquiry & neuroplasticity

From being in jail at barely 20-years-old, facing prison time on a drug charge and feeling, “My whole life, one stupid mess after another,” international leadership coach Dr Marcia Reynolds has come a long way. Nearly 50 years later, she counts among the top voices in coaching.

Here, she talks about the power of reflective inquiry and how it forces one to look deep within and take hard life decisions. She also debunks the “crazy belief” that the coach must ask only open-ended, not closed questions. A coach or thinking partner, she says, gives people the courage to step into the decision they know they want to take. She also warns one against the “shoulds”—”Ask yourself, who made that rule?”

Based in the US, Dr. Marcia Reynolds, Master Certified Coach and president of Covisioning LLC, is a pioneer in the coaching profession and was the 5th global president of the International Coaching Federation and inducted into their Circle of Distinction for her many years of service to the global coaching community. She is recognised by Global Gurus as one of the top five coaches in the world.

She has provided coaching and training in 47 countries, to thousands of coaches and leaders online, is on faculty for coaching schools in the US, Asia, and Eastern Europe. She holds a doctorate in organisational psychology, besides two master’s degrees in learning psychology and communications.
