This is our 20th episode focussing on coaching tools, and we thought it would be a good point to have a bit of a review of some of the tools we've covered so far and where to find them. In this episode we will be refreshing our memories on some of the tools we've talked about already and signposting you to the relevant podcast where you find out more.

Episode 130: Introducing our Advanced Coaching Diploma

Your Coaching Journey ·

2025/10/17

This year we launched our Advanced Transformational Coaching Diploma programme and we’re now into our fourth iteration of the course. Although the Advanced Diploma programme is just for the graduates of our initial diploma programme, we thought it was worth letting our listeners know how they might move on with their learning once they have completed their first coaching training course with us. So, if you’ve studied with us in the past, are doing so currently or have an idea that you might wish

So, you’ve learnt to coach, you’ve got some tools and techniques under your belt, and you have some experience of coaching. You are putting your coaching offer out there to the world and ready to take on clients. But what does your coaching look like? Do you take an emergent approach to your coaching or do you have a structured coaching programme to offer to potential clients. Whilst Tom is a very emergent coach, Helen offers a more organised approach to coaching out to the world in the form of a

Episode 128: How Do Our Coachees See Us?

Your Coaching Journey ·

2025/10/03

How do you see yourself as a coach? A newbie? Experienced? Professional? However you see yourself, it is likely that your coachees see you in a way that makes sense for them. And whilst there may be some crossover in your perceptions, there may well be some differences. And with those differences may come differing expectations, or even challenges to look out for. Tom recently saw an article about how coachees might perceive their coach, and thought it would be an interesting conversation to share

Episode 127: The Practice of Coaching

Your Coaching Journey ·

2025/09/26

Coaching is not something that can be learned by reading or talking about it. Coaching is not something that can be learned by us telling you how it is done, or even demonstrating it for you. Coaching is a practice and it takes practice to become a competent and confident coach. It’s also important that you receive regular feedback on your coaching. This will help you to improve your awareness of what you’re doing in the coaching room; both what you are doing well and where you can improve. In

This week we are at the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine’s annual conference in Brighton: Cue noisy seagulls. This is our third year at the event and it’s wonderful to meet so many doctors and other professionals who are wishing to make a difference by helping people bring about changes in their lives, health, and wellbeing using a Lifestyle Medicine approach. In this episode we thought we would privide a quick explanation as to why we are here in Brighton, and why our Doctors’

We often collaborate with the team at Wild Monday, the organisation responsible for the ‘You Are Not A Frog’ podcast. Both of us have been lucky enough to have chatted to Rachel Morris on their podcast. This week we returned the favour and invited one of their team, Dr Sarah Coope to have a conversation with Helen. Sarah, a former GP, is now an executive coach with a focus on conflict resolution and burnout prevention. She’s also now the head of live training at Wild Monday. Listen in to find

Does the Reticular Activating System guide our attention to the elements that are important for our lives. Contrary to popular opinion, absolutely not!

Episode 123: Coaching Approaches – Parts Work

Your Coaching Journey ·

2025/08/29

Having different internal parts of our psyche has been provoking interest in great thinkers for thousands of years. The Greeks and the Romans had the theory of us all having different humours Freud had his id, ego and superego, and psychologists ever since have been playing with different theories about the different parts that we may possess and how best to integrate them into our overall identity. In this episode we explore what Parts Work is, the journey that it has travelled over the last 50

2025/08/22

You may have heard us talk about interrupting coachees on previous podcasts, but we see and hear so much from other coaches talking about this topic online that we thought we’d set our stall out in a more thorough and robust way. We have also noticed an increase in very visible coaches rebadging interrupting as interjecting, and saying that it’s ok, even necessary. So, we thought we’d talk through what we see as the subtle differences between interrupting and interjecting and share our

Episode 121: Critical Thinking

Your Coaching Journey ·

2025/08/15

We believe that one of the most important aspects of coaching is the generation of new thinking on the part of the coachee. Before we get to focusing on the options that the coachee has, or how they might forward, we need to explore their situation with them and allow them to assess it in an objective and coherent way. In order to do that we will probably need to challenge the client to engage in some some critical thinking around the thoughts they have already had, what the reality of their

Episode 120: Easy Change and Hard Change

Your Coaching Journey ·

2025/08/08

Not all change is created equal. Some change is easy and some is hard. All qualified coaches should be well equipped to support coachees when they are contemplating easy change. When it comes to hard change, coaches adopting straightforward coaching approaches might not cope so well with facilitating this change for coaches who are finding change more of a struggle. What makes the difference between easy change and hard change is going to depend from coachee to coachee and we have to be agile

What is 360 Degree Feedback and how might we use it in the coaching room? In this episode, Tom shares his wisdom and experience of 360 Degree Feedback, sometimes called Multi-Source Feedback. Tom has been working with this type of report for the last 15 years and has sat alongside hundreds of clients as they have received their feedback.

According to the author Oliver Burkeman we each have approximately 4,000 weeks to run around on our planet. Some people will get a few more weeks and some will get a few less, but Burkeman’s point is that our time to enjoy life is finite. In this episode we dive into Burkeman’s thought-provoking book 4,000 Weeks: Time and How to Use It. Join us as we explore its main themes and how they might assist us in the coaching room.

2025/07/18

We know that contracting at the beginning of a coaching relationship is vital and an integral part of our coaching. It sets the parameters within which we will work with our clients. Ending the coaching relationship should be seen as another vital and integral stage in a coaching journey. The ending may, however, raise some questions, cause some confusion and may even result in some discomfort. How do we know when it’s time to say goodbye to our coachee? How do we end the coaching ethically and

We often get asked how doctors use their new coaching skills once they’ve completed our Transformational Coaching Diploma programme. This is obviously a question that our coaching doctors have the opportunity to explore for themselves in advance, of completing the programme, as they receive coaching throughout the course. There is plenty of time for them to consider what the future holds for them and what direction they might go in. With over 300 doctors having completed our diploma we have a
