Episode #156: Coaching face to face versus online

Your Coaching Journey ·

2026/04/17

Whether you are with your coachee or not when you're coaching them will depend on a number of variables, but there's a good chance these days that you are more likely to be in a virtual coaching room than sitting face to face with your coachee. Some telephone coaching still happens but not so much, these days. In this episode, we discuss the pros and cons of both ways of working, and some things to consider as a coach. Whether you prefer to be in the room where it happens or you embrace the

Episode #155: Belbin Team Roles

Your Coaching Journey ·

2026/04/10

If you're talking to coachees about their role, their career or their work colleagues, you may find that they have quite narrow ways of viewing what works and what doesn't work in their team. They may view the way they go about things as the right way and can't understand why other team members don't just behave in the way that they do. They may express concern, or frustration, at their team members' varying attitudes towards the work that needs to be done. In this episode we explore why it's

2026/04/03

As transformational coaches we very much focus on self-exploration and self-acceptance for the coachee; challenging their current thinking and helping them explore new perspectives; supporting them in finding new ways to go about doing things and encouraging them to become more who they really are. That said, sometimes coachees may want to work towards a specific tangible goal, develop a realistic strategy or map out a practical plan, and, of course, we will look to coach them in planning and

Episode #152: A Review of Coaching Tools #2

2026/03/20

Back in Episode 132 we revisited some of the tools that we had already explored on earlier episodes of the podcast. That episode went down very well, particularly among our own alumni, who found the episode to be a wonderful reminder of some of the tools that they learned on our Doctors' Transformational Coaching Diploma. In looking back we realised that we've explored around 30 different tools on the podcast in the last 3 years. So we thought we'd have a conversation about another batch of the

Episode #151: The Four Discourses of Coaching

Your Coaching Journey ·

2026/03/13

When it comes to the way that coaching is approached and then discussed, there have traditionally been four different discourses that have become embedded in the coaching world. Simon Western, a leadership and coaching academic, identified the four discourses back in 2016 as being: - The Managerial approach The Psychological approach The Soul Guide approach The Network approach In this episode we explore the advantages and disadvantages of each approach and consider what other

Episode #150 - Coaching Topic: Time Management

2026/03/06

It is said that you can't manage time, you can only manage yourself, but we know that some topics brought to the coaching room, like overwhelm, making difficult decisions, unrealistic expectations, and boundaries, can often look like a time management issue. In this episode we talk through how we might help someone in the coaching space, and explore two activities that might be useful to undertake with our coachees. Hopefully, investing your time in listening to the podcast will be a worthwhile

Episode #148 - Coaching Tools: The ABCDE Model

Your Coaching Journey ·

2026/02/20

Coaching conversations are a great space in which to support individuals in engaging in a spot of meta-cognition; doing a little thinking about their thinking. With a little help, our coachees can explore their potentially unhelpful thinking around a scenario that is proving difficult for them. There are different ways of approaching such situations and various tools that we can utilise, as coaches, to support our coachee's thinking. One such tool is the ABCDE model, which has its origins in the

Episode #147 - Coaching Approaches: Strengths Coaching

Your Coaching Journey ·

2026/02/13

When coachees are facing difficulties in their work or home lives it's easy for them to spend their time in the coaching room in problem-talk. They often speak from a place of helplessness and a lack of resources. Using a strengths based approach can allow a coachee to connect with their own inner resources, and some external resources too, to allow them to think through their situation, find their own solution and move forward. In this episode we explore what a strengths approach looks like, what

Join us as we explore some of the history of the concepts of neurodiversity and neurodivergence and the evolution of the nuanced terminology that can lead to some confusion around the topic.

A model from the 1970s, Egan's Skilled Helper Model (ESHM) is often taught on mentoring training courses, and many of our coaching doctors have come across it from such training. Having evolved from the therapeutic space ESHM sits well within the coaching environment and has some interesting elements to explore. Join us in this episode as we explore the ESHM model, its benefits and its limitations. Resources: To take a look at the visual model please visit our webpage:

Episode #143: Art in Coaching

Your Coaching Journey ·

2026/01/16

Coaching can take many forms and, for the most part, it will involve a conversation where the coach is focused on the coachee. However, sometimes it's helpful for the coachee to draw their thoughts out on paper and for the focus in the coaching room to switch to what has been created. Focusing on the coachee's artistic endeavours can reveal new insights and draw out aspects of a scenario that might never have surfaced in a normal coaching conversation. We're strong advocates of using art in

2025/12/26

"Flow," often described as being "in the zone," is a psychological state of deep and effortless immersion in an activity, where you lose any sense of yourself, time and possible distractions. It's a concept that was introduced by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, in the 1970s and provides an important aspect of the Engagement element of Martin Seligman's PERMAH model within the world of positive psychology.

2025/12/19

Stress is a normal and natural response that we have all experienced in our lives. It's also a phenomenon that frequently enters the coaching room. Coaching is often focused initially on problems that the coachee wishes to resolve, and that is a natural space for stress to show up. Coaching is also frequesntly concerned with change that the coachee wishes to see, and a time of change is definitely a point at which stress might appear. In this episode we are exploring the different aspects of

Episode #137: Reflection

2025/12/05

Reflection is an essential aspect of any coaching practice and something that we actively encourage all of our students to do from the start of their coaching journeys. Coaching conversations happen in the moment and the emergent nature of them means that they could go in many directions. Where the conversation flows is dependent on the thinking of the coach and the coachee in real time. There is little time to reflect on what went well, what didn't go so well and what might have been different
