Every coach has probably been there at some point in their coaching practice. The client wanders, the session drifts and perhaps neither the coach or partner is quite sure why that happened or how to manage those uncomfortable conversations. Jeanine Bailey and Marie Quigley focus on those times in a coaching session when a client loses their way and the coach can perhaps see it happening, but not sure how to manage it. Here's the uncomfortable truth: when a client is confused or quietly anxious, it

For every $1 an organisation invests in employee wellbeing, the return is almost $5. Yet most organisations are still trying to fix one of the most costly challenges in the modern workplace with simple initiatives like a yoga class and a bowl of free fruit - which are healthy initiatives, but not enough.

Ep. 260 - Fifteen minutes. One metaphor. A life shifted.

Most coaches hear their client's words. Very few hear what those words are actually doing. In this episode, Jeanine Bailey is joined by Lyssa deHart MCC - author of Light Up: The Science of Coaching with Metaphors - where Lyssa reveals why metaphors are not decoration in a coaching conversation but idea containers - each one lighting up the brain and revealing the landscape of a client's inner world in a way no other language can. And here is what stands out: a metaphor is a shared experience. When

Empower World: The Coaching and Leadership Podcast ·

2026/07/20

The sponsor relationship is one of the most underestimated dynamics in professional coaching. Get it wrong and even the most skilled coaching can unravel before a single session begins. In this episode, we get honest about what really happens when organisations, HR teams, line managers and families enter the coaching equation. Not every coaching opportunity is the right one for a coach. Knowing the difference is what separates a confident coach from a compromised one. And - the more prepared the

Somatic coach and nervous system educator Hind Taychouri was told to take pills forever - and she said no.

2026/06/08

What if your well-meaning habits are getting in the way of your client's growth? In this honest conversation, Jeanine Bailey MCC and Marie Quigley MCC explore the unconscious coaching pattern of cheerleading - the over-championing, the enthusiastic "that's wonderful," the nodding and yes-yes-yessing that feels supportive but can cut your client's thinking. Research shows that staying silent allows clients to go deeper, and that is precisely where the most powerful insights live. If you have ever

Executive coach and photographer Andy Robbins joins Co-Founder of Empower World Marie Quigley to explore the surprising parallels between capturing someone's true presence through a lens and unlocking it in a coaching conversation - from reading micro-expressions, to building trust with a resistant client, to why AI can replicate a headshot but never replace a genuine human connection.

Leadership is lonely, and most leaders are too busy to admit it. Team coaches and supervisors, Larissa Thurlow and Traci Manalani, who create spaces for leaders from different organisations - not to learn content or receive advice - but simply to pause, reflect, and be heard without anyone expecting anything from them, offer a different perspective about leadership. When leaders slow down together, something shifts for them. They become clearer, calmer, more purposeful, and measurably better at

Many coaches want to add value from the very first minute. They dive straight into coaching because they care, because they want results, because they want to be useful. Yet the real power often lies in slowing down. In this episode, we explore why the discovery session - which includes contracting, setting expectations, building psychological safety, clarifying roles - is not a formality but the foundation for courageous, transformational work.

2026/01/19

As AI and digital platforms reshape coaching, the key question becomes: what still makes human coaching irreplaceable? Jonathan Passmore highlights that while AI can do things well, such as summarising and reflecting on what has been shared and asking questions, it cannot replicate lived experience, identity, humour or emotional attunement. The future is not human versus AI, but human with AI. When coaches consciously amplify their humanity and use AI as complementary support, coaching becomes more
