Tracy Sinclair is joined by veteran coach and coach-educator Aboodi Shabi to explore how coaching is evolving and may need to evolve in today’s precarious world. Aboodi shares his journey toward “coaching to the soul,” describing coaching as a spiritual vocation that creates space for authentic humanity, meaning, and purpose beyond performative, goal-driven improvement and capitalist assumptions of “not good enough.” They discuss impermanence, contentment, rest, and the value of being over doing, drawing on ideas like Shabbat and “time to think” silence. 

Aboodi has been coaching for almost thirty years, and he has coached and delivered training programmes to leaders and executives all over the world, and trained and worked with thousands of coaches over the last twenty-five years.

In the 1990s, he was instrumental in setting up the UK Chapter of the International Coach Federation, as well as serving on the ICF Global Board.

More recently, Aboodi was a lecturer in Coaching at Henley Business School. He currently works as a freelance coach and coaching supervisor.

He is an Honorary Fellow of Reading University, and recently received a Lifetime Award for Contribution to Coaching from Coaching at Work magazine.
