Summary

What does headshot photography have to do with coaching? More than you'd think. Executive coach and photographer Andy Robbins joins Co-Founder of Empower World Marie Quigley to explore the surprising parallels between capturing someone's true presence through a lens and unlocking it in a coaching conversation - from reading micro-expressions, to building trust with a resistant client, to why AI can replicate a headshot but never replace a genuine human connection. A must-listen for any coach ready to see their craft through a completely different pair of eyes.
