Episode #178: A Couple of Latin Phrases To Reflect Upon
In episode 160 we introduced the Stoic philosophers and suggested that a few of the questions that stemmed from that group might be useful to ask in a coaching session. Today we explore a couple of latin phrases that have their origins in stoic philosophy. One of the phrases that we discuss on this episode of the podcast reminds us of what it is to be human and to have a finite amount of time on the planet. The other phrase reminds us that much of life is outside of our control, and that accepting the events that have occurred as we travel along our journey can serve us well and feed into a balanced sense of subjective well-being. Join us as we explore some of the wisdom the Greeks and the Romans left behind for us. Enjoy the podcast?

Episode #177: What someone might consider when looking for a coach.
Social media is an interesting place, isn't it? We often see posts, ideas, challenges, or just different perspectives that make us think. We regularly see people's take on what coaching is, and what is, or isn't, important when it comes to choosing a coach. In this episode, we share our thoughts on what someone might consider if they're thinking about hiring a coach. From checking their qualifications, insurance and professional memberships, to looking at their online presence, recommendations and testimonials. And perhaps most importantly, we talk about having a conversation with a potential coach before deciding whether they're the right coach and committing to working with them. There are a few simple things that those looking for a coach might do to ensure they're making an informed choice. This means that, as coaches, we can also be thinking of these points ourselves to make the most of the opportunity to market our coaching. The same considerations are also useful for anyone looking for a therapist, so this is one episode that could be worth sharing with someone who is considering either. Enjoy the podcast?

Episode #176: Your Commitment Partner
In the past we have challenged the idea of accountability in the coaching room; how much can we really hold someone accountable? And we came to the conclusion that we couldn't really do that. And yet, having an accountability partner is still often cited as a reason for having coaching, by both coachees and coaches. As ever, we learn and grow, and refine our thinking, and Tom has been considering this for some while. In this episode we discuss a different idea of what a coach can provide that might look a little like accountability, but is more nuanced and, arguably, more powerful. We also talk about how people are slippery with their own commitments and consider ways to counter this tendency to talk ourselves out of things we really want to do. Tom also makes reference to Gabriele Oettingen, who is not actually a member of a Scandinavian royal family but is in fact part of the German noble house of Oettingen-Spielberg. She is also a psychologist and the creator of the WOOP model for working towards desired outcomes. We hope you enjoy the conversation. Enjoy the podcast?

Episode #175: Discovery Calls
Here at Your Coaching Journey we believe that before you start working with any coachee, it is important to have an initial conversation. They're called different things by different coaches, so you might have a Discovery Call, or a Chemistry Session. Whatever we choose to call them, these conversations help to ensure that both you and the coachee are on the same page when it comes to expectations around the coaching. They allow you to uncover the coachee's best hopes for the coaching and for you to explain your own individual approach. They also allow you to start contracting with your potential future coachee around the boundaries for the coaching. In this episode, we aim to de-mistify Discovery Calls and Chemistry Sessions and provide some ideas for engaging in them.

Episode #173: Who Moved My Cheese?
We know our coaching doctors love a good read, as do we. And there are some books that one or both of us have returned to several times, which is often a good indicator that it holds, not just a passing interest for us, but some deeper insights that are useful in our personal development and growth. In this episode we discuss one of Tom's recommended reads, Who Moved My Cheese?' by Dr Spencer Johnson. WMMC is a short, easy to digest story that acts as a modern day parable and illustrates the different responses that people have towards change. WMMC offers us a lesson around how complacency and a sense of entitlement can lead to inertia whilst change is going on all around us, and Tom reflects on how his own learnings from reading the story informed his response to the pandemic, back in 2020. Join us in this episode as we seek to find out who did move the cheese and what happened once it was moved. Enjoy the podcast?

When a deeply held belief limits our choices, or our capacity for change or growth, coaching can be a wonderful space to explore and challenge it.

Episode #169: Polyvagal Theory
In this episode we are dissecting a concept that has quietly infiltrated the coaching space: Polyvagal Theory. Marketed as the ultimate framework to map our emotional reactions and "hack" the autonomic nervous system, understand stress, and work with trauma, it is often quoted as fact. Listen in as we explore what the compelling vocabulary like "ventral vagal states" means, and whether the scientific evidence backs up the theoretical claims? Enjoy the podcast?

Episode #168: Every Coach Needs a Coach - or do they?
'Every coach needs a coach' is one of those statements that does the rounds from time to time. It is frequently seen on social media feeds and is more often than not asserted as an absolute truth. Obviously, coaches who coach coaches have a vested interest in spreading this view and so we thought we would explore the notion, give the topic a good airing and share our thoughts on the podcast. Have a listen to the conversation and decide for yourself whether this is something that, as a coach, you should take to heart. If you'd like to contribute to the conversation, do drop us a message.

Episode #167: Working with Drivers
We have explored the theory of Transactional Analysis (TA) in a previous episode, and have also spent time on other episodes discussing the Drama Triangle and the Parent, Adult, Child models that stem from TA. In this episode we dive a little deeper into another theory that stems from the world of TA, the theory of Drivers. You will already be familiar with a couple of the psychological drivers that we will be discussing. We have previously recorded episodes on People Pleasing and Perfectionism, which both sit within this theory. We're going to round things off in this episode, taking a look at all five drivers, providing an explanation of what they are, where they come from and how they might show up in the coaching room.

Episode #166: And now for something completely different!
This week, we've taken the opportunity to share a podcast that was recorded 3 years ago, when our own podcast was still a gangly youth. Tom was invited on to the marvellous Rachel Morris's 'You Are Not a Frog Podcast' and had a conversation with Rachel about the different coaching approaches that exist. In this hour-long episode Tom and Rachel explore the benefits of coaching and how wonderful it is to be truly listened to. They also take a look at how different approaches might be useful in working with different topics and with different clients. Tom provides a whistle stop tour of the coaching approaches that we teach on our Doctors' Transformational Coaching Diploma and even engages in a couple of brief coaching demonstrations to help generate some new thinking for Rachel.

Episode #162: ADHD
We began our exploration of Neurodiversity in Coaching in episode 146, with a bit of an introduction to the topic and the terminology around both neurodiversity and neurodivergence. Today we want to venture a little deeper into one particular neurodivergence - ADHD or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder to give it its full title. ADHD is a phenomenon that is receiving increasing attention within the coaching world and it is very likely that you will come across coachees that identify as living with ADHD. In this episode we take a look at some of the nuances of ADHD and Tom shares his own personal journey to gaining a better understanding of the topic and trying to sort out the facts from the theories.

Episode #161: Deeper Coaching Presence
We have discussed both presence and absence in the coaching room in previous episodes, and today we want to venture a little deeper around the concept of presence in coaching. We all know when we have experienced someone who is fully present for us; someone who has listened and allowed us to feel heard and understood. Presence makes a difference. We will all have also experienced times when our coach has been a little distracted or not fully engaged. Coaching presence is such a powerful phenomenon and at the same time, something quite intangible, so we thought we'd try and define it for our listeners. Join us for this episode as we explore what coaching presence is, why it's important, and some ways in which you can cultivate a more powerful presence in your coaching sessions. Resources: Questions asked in this podcast: What prevents you from being fully present? What pulls you out of presence? How/What do you notice when your presence has slipped? Journaling Prompts: What pulls you out of presence? How is your Coaching Presence now? What supports and nourishes it? How do you want your presence to be? How do you know when you've slipped out of presence? What's the gap you are bridging? What gets in your way of being present? How do you want to be with yourself as you practice becoming more present? Enjoy the podcast?

Episode #160: Coaching Tools: Questions from Stoic Philosophy
What have the Stoics ever done for us? Well apart from aqueducts, wine, irrigation, sanitation, the roads, medicine, public order and the baths, the Stoics also gave us a few different ways of thinking about events that we have no control over. The Roman stoics, Seneca and Marcus Aureleus and the Greek stoics, Zeno of Citium and Epictetus, along with a few other philosophers, used their ancient wisdom to unlock what was going on for their contemporaries. That same wisdom may provide novel ways of viewing our own environment and provide us with some alternative perspectives that could benefit us in our modern world. In this episode we explore three stoic questions that could help our coachees to move forward in their thinking.

Episode #159: Coaching Tools: Positive Psychology Interventions
Positive Psychology is a popular coaching approach with the doctors on our transformational coaching diploma. It feels uplifting to coach using positive psychology, but there is much more to the approach than just inviting people to smile more and see put a more optimistic spin on events. We've talked about Positive Psychology in previous episodes, and in this episode we dedicated to explore in more detail some of the research backed tools that are known as Positive Psychology Interventions or PPIs, and consider how they might be of use in the coaching room.
