And when you do that, what becomes clear is that self-passive reflection alone is beneficial, but not sufficient. To accelerate your leading edge developmentally, you need to be active in your self-inquiry and make sure you have clear input from a developmental coach who can identify your blind spots. If you don&#8217;t currently have a certified coach from the Coaching Centre, you&#8217;re putting the brakes on your own leading development.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Competence Policy and Process<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Beyond competence and character, we have built a regional coaching centre right at the heart of regional NSW (Orange CBD)<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/thecoachingcentre.com.au\/\">,<\/a> and we are part of national and international communities, without being part of any bias.\u00a0Yes a big statement, and we are fully committed. Therefore our policies are quite unique due to taking people to higher levels personally, professionally and ethically. So if you know or experience some policy here at The Coaching Centre that biases (favors) certain people over other people \u2014 immediately let us know.\u00a0We will correct that.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>How are you holding yourself back from your highest potentials?
