Your Coaching Journey ·

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. Tom understands the very human reactions that individuals have to receiving feedback in this way. He has some thoughts on how we can help to facilitate the

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. The title of the book makes it sound like a time-management tomb, but

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

Tom thoroughly enjoyed the conversation, and you’ll understand why when you listen to the podcast and experience a taste of Hannah’s infectious enthusiasm for life.

Your Coaching Journey ·

2025/07/04

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

Episode 114: Challenges in Coaching: When is a law not a law? Is a certain amount of stress good for you? Definitely! Is there a point at which the amount of stress becomes detrimental? Most certainly! Is there a law, a model, or a formula that tells us how much stress is too much? Contrary to popular opinion, probably not! In this episode Tom airs his frustrations about an often rolled out piece of research called the ‘Yerkes-Dodson Law’. We discuss the law’s origins, what Yerkes and Dodson

In this episode we’re putting an element of theory behind the concept of leadership and in doing so, explore a number of different leadership styles; ten in fact. We discuss the pros

Episode 112: Topic: Leadership Coaching Part 1

Your Coaching Journey ·

2025/06/13

If you’ve coached an individual within the NHS there is a good chance that you have been called upon to have a conversation around leadership. Not necessarily about the mechanics of the leadership role but perhaps around how the coachee shows up and how they interact with other people. Leadership presents itself throughout organisations and often those without a defined leadership role are taking responsibility for heading up certain initiatives or leading on certain aspects of the culture.

Following on from our previous podcast episode where we discussed why people might choose to avoid difficult conversations, in this episode we talk about the difference between having difficult conversations badly or having them well. From considering the pros and cons of having a particular conversation; deciding whether to have the conversation or not; preparing for the conversation; and then managing the conversation, we’ve got it all covered.

Your coachees may tell you about a sticky situation or problematic people that they have in their lives, and talk about the stress that this is causing them. Often, one of the options that the coachee has to help resolve the issue is to have a conversation with someone else involved, but they may be avoiding this option. Understanding why a coachee might be choosing not to have what they might perceive as a difficult conversation is useful and may help you to facilitate the coachee’s thinking. This

If you listened to Episode 108 you will have heard Tom discussing the ways in which we might show up in the coaching room. Tom made the point that an approach of judgement might be an easy way for us to show up in our coaching , but perhaps love might be a more useful way to be in order to draw out the real coachee sitting before us. Well, one podcast episode didn’t provide Tom with enough space to consider the fact that often either the coach or the coachee could show up in fear in the coaching

Just to avoid any confusion, we are not addressing the topics of romantic love, sexual attraction or attachment in the coaching room in this episode, although they might crop up in a future episode. Tom is on his own for this podcast and is offering some reflections on how we might show up as a coach. It would be very easy for us to show up in judgement of our coachees and to prove our worth by pointing out the error of their ways. We’re the experts after all. We know what’s what. Or maybe, just

We consider the coaching space a sacred one. It is a safe, welcoming, confidential and non-judgemental space that allows the coachee to engage in conversation in an authentic, open and honest way. It is a space that fosters trust and connection. That’s the space that we, as coaches, are looking to create in the coaching room and that requires some presence on our part. But what do we mean when we talk about coaching presence? In this episode we explore what coaching presence is. We also explore

2025/04/25

Emotional Intelligence is a relatively new phrase but not a new concept. The Greeks and the Romans were giving thought to the problems we all have with our emotions thousands of years ago. The fact that we’re all still struggling to master our responses to events that produce emotions suggests that we haven’t evolved very much emotionally in the last few millennia. So, Emotional Intelligence is definitely a concept worth exploring. Which is exactly what we’re doing in this podcast. Turning to the

Transformational Coaching is all about helping our coachees achieve a change in their lives, whether that be in terms of making lifestyle changes, changing the dynamics of a relationship, or the coachee just changing their perspective. Change is at the forefront of everything we do and in this podcast episode we’re exploring another model, which might just help us to explore the change process with our coachees.

To borrow some words from a famous philosopher, ‘No coachee is an island’. We all exist within some kind of system, whether it’s in the workplace, within our social lives, or within a family. In the coaching room there will always be influences and echoes of the coachee’s system as they talk through their situation, their experiences and their desired outcomes. In Gestalt we talk about the contact boundary, where we meet our environment and where our environment meets us, and there is a constant
