#027 – Setting the foundations for a 1:1 coaching intensive – Thriving Coaches Podcast

Released 21th October 2019 Subscribe: iTunes | Stitcher

This episode is something I’m really excited to share with you. It’s an excerpt from a one-off event I ran two years ago, called “The 1:1 Coaching Intensive Unpacked”. Here’s the backstory: As you may be aware, one of the way I love to work with my clients is by doing a 3-day, 1:1 coaching intensive. I find that the intensive format means you can achieve in a few days what would previously have taken a whole year to accomplish, so it’s a really powerful format.

So in my book RESULTS, one of the chapters included a story about the time one of my apprentices, the coach Ankush Jain, sat in and observed while I did a 3-day 1:1 Intensive with a client, so he could have an experience of what it’s like to do an intensive.

#024 – TCP INTERVIEW: The Coaching Show – Thriving Coaches Podcast

Released 15th August 2019 Subscribe: iTunes | Stitcher

This episode is a little different, because rather than me interviewing someone, it’s me *being* interviewed for The Coaching Show, by Master Coach Christopher McAuliffe and another coach, Alex Terranova. And this was an interesting one.

As you’ll hear, it was pretty fast-paced, and I really enjoyed the challenge of making the value and approach involved in principles based coaching explicit to a couple of experienced coaches who were brand new to the subject.

#015 – DEMO: Social Anxiety and Awakening the True Self – Thriving Coaches Podcast

Released 6th Dec 2018 Subscribe: iTunes | Stitcher

Last weekend was module 3 of the 10-month Clarity Coach Training programme. On the very first module, back in September, I did a 1:1 coaching session with Anna Foakes. Anna is a therapist who’s passionate about making a difference to her clients, but who experienced stress and “social anxiety” when she was in larger groups of people. She volunteered to do a coaching demo with me, and it turned it to be fascinating for a number of reasons:

#014 – The Fundamentals of Clarity Coaching – Thriving Coaches Podcast

Released 31st Oct 2018 Subscribe: iTunes | Stitcher

In this episode of the Thriving Coaches Podcast, you’re going to hear the introduction to a session that I did at the Realising Potential Conference.

You’ll hear me lay out my approach to coaching people from a principles-based understanding. What I also explain is why coaching from this understanding is so different to how I used to coach (when I was an NLP coach) and to how a lot of people approach coaching. So if you’re interested in moving to coaching from a principles understanding this might be particularly interesting to you.

#012 – Procrastination, Productivity and Religious Beliefs – Thriving Coaches Podcast

Released 5th Sep 2018 Subscribe: iTunes

This week’s episode is a coaching demo I did during the first module of this year’s Clarity Coach Training programme which kicked off a couple of weeks ago. We record all the modules so we can give the footage to the participants to review, as well as share it with the people who had to miss the first module, and this coaching demo was a shocker for everyone who saw it. Here’s why: The client, Karen, was struggling to be productive, take action and make progress on growing her coaching practice. She said she knew what she should be doing but just wasn’t doing it. Can you relate to that?

#011 – Why clients hire you as a coach or therapist – Thriving Coaches Podcast

Released 5th Sep 2018 Subscribe: iTunes

In this episode you’re going to hear me answer a question from a coach called Max, who asked what is it that has people hire you as a coach? Max had always been told that you need to “blow a client’s mind” during your enrolment conversation, and he’d noticed that I seemed to be taking a completely different approach (this was during one of my coach training programmes where I’d just been demonstrating an enrolment session with a client called Sarah).

#010 – Dealing with difficult / challenging people – Thriving Coaches Podcast

Released 22nd Aug 2018 Subscribe: iTunes

In this episode you’re going to hear a group session I did in Amir Karkouti’s ‘What the F*#$ Are The Principles?’ group and it was not only a lot of fun (the session was called “Outsmart Jamie Smart”); it was also super-impactful for a lot of people, so I wanted to share it with you. Here’s what it was about: I asked people to think of the most difficult and challenging people to discuss your work with – especially clients – and then they came on the session LIVE and role-played those people and scenarios so I could demonstrate how I’d handle it.

#008 – Demo – Money Beliefs and Signing up Coaching Clients – Thriving Coaches Podcast

Released 8th Aug 2018 Subscribe: iTunes

This episode is a coaching session I did with coach and therapist Pete Bryceland nearly 4 years ago during the beta test of the Thriving Coaches Blueprint programme. I did the session in a group setting and the reason this may be of particular interest to you is that in the 3 weeks following the session Pete signed up two coaching clients on packages of 10 thousand pounds each. So he made more money in that month than he’d made in the previous year.

TCP 007 – Unpacked – Weight Loss and Self Care Behind the Scenes

Released 25th July 2018 Subscribe: iTunes

In this episode you’re going to hear me ‘unpacking’ a coaching session I did with a woman called Pam Featherstone – an episode you may have heard on my podcast a couple of weeks ago. You’ll hear me go through the whole coaching session, explaining what I’m doing and responding to with Pam. Just in case you didn’t hear the original session, here’s the backstory: Pam took her coaching business from zero to 1 million in under 3 years and became Action Coach’s no.1 global coach of the year, but she struggled with her own health and wellbeing. This is something I see with a lot of coaches and therapists and transformation professionals – they’re brilliant at support other people but sometimes need a little help taking care of themselves.
