Throughout the Second World War, Lisbon was at the very center of the world’s attention and was the only European city in which both the Allies and the Axis powers openly operated. Portugal was frantically trying to hold on to its self-proclaimed wartime neutrality but in reality was increasingly caught in the middle of the economic, and naval, wars between the Allies and the Nazis. The story is not, however, a conventional tale of World War II in that barely a shot was fired or a bomb dropped. Instead, it is a gripping tale of intrigue, betrayal, opportunism, and double-dealing....

This is a series of episodes in which my guests are invited to critically reflect with me some of the powers and pitfalls of coaching. Our field is growing fast and exponentially. As growth normally is never just about the success side of the coin, it’s time we become curious about the other side of the coin – and we’ll explore what that can be: in our practice, our field, our education, our knowledge, and our mastery. If we coaches don’t exercise this sort of curiosity too, who should? We are the pioneers of awareness creation and perspective taking. Can we role model those practices...
