What if the future of coaching depends less on learning new techniques and more on developing the human being behind them?
In this episode of the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. David Drake, a coaching pioneer with more than 30 years of experience shaping the fields of coaching, human development, and leadership. David is the founder of The Moment Institute, an EMCC Master Practitioner, a Thought Leader with the Institute of Coaching, and the creator of Narrative Coaching, Narrative Release, Integrative Development, and The Five Maturities. He has also authored more than 80 publications, including his latest book, The Five Maturities: Developing Yourself for a World Beyond Coaching.
Together, we explore what a “world beyond coaching” really means, why the profession may need to move beyond its industrial mindset, and the difference between becoming more competent and becoming more mature. We also talk about presence, the limits of tools and frameworks, the role of AI in coaching, and what becomes more important about the human practitioner as technology evolves.
This is a rich and provocative conversation for coaches, leaders, and changemakers who sense that the next chapter of their work will require more than another model or certification. It may require deeper self-development.
