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:

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.

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?

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).

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.

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.

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.

This episode pf The Thriving Coaches podcast features a coaching session I did during the 2017 Clarity Coach Training programme with a very successful coach called Pam Featherstone.
Pam took her coaching business from zero to 1 million in under 3 years and became Action Coaches No. 1 global coach of the year. In fact she was the first ever UK coach to achieve their global award (previously it had been won by coaches from the USA and Australia).
Pam currently gives 80% of all her earnings to charity Read More →

In this episode of The Thriving Coaches podcast you’re going to hear an excerpt from the most recent Clarity Coach Training programme where several students were in situations where they wanted to share the principles behind Clarity with an audience, but they didn’t understand how it was practical (or even possible) to do so. The subjects they were due to be talking about were “gut health”, “business strategy” and “exam results”.
The principles behind clarity are present in every human experience so, as you’ll hear, it turns out to be quite a bit simpler than you might expect.
By the way, the certified Clarity Coach Training programme is going to be formally opening for registration in the next couple of weeks. We’ve had people from all walks of life go through the programme including computer programmers, doctors, call centre workers, lawyers, parents, PR specialists, therapists, office workers, entrepreneurs, surgeons, people who are already coaches, consultants, trainers and even a professional footballer.
