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

In this week's episode we begin what will be a much wider exploration of neurodiversity in the coaching arena and will start with some basics. 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. We also start to think about what neurodiversity means to us as coaches. Enjoy the podcast? If you're enjoying the podcast it would be great if you left us a

2026/01/30

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

"The Five Dysfunctions of a Team," (5DT) is a team dynamics model, created by Patrick Lencioni. 5DT outlines a powerful, interconnected set of potential dysfunctions that a team might fall prey to, and offers an insight into what the underlying causes of the dysfunctions might be. In setting out the 5DT model, Lencioni provides a simple way to understand why teams struggle to achieve their full potential.

Episode #140: The Positive Psychology Concept of Flow

Your Coaching Journey ·

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. Having an understanding of Flow might help you to support your coachees in

Episode #139: Coaching topic: Stress

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

2025/11/21

Presence is a topic that is often talked about in coaching and we shared our thoughts on the subject in podcast episode 107. Hopefully, if you listened to that episode, you'll now have a handle on how presence shows up in coaching. But if we have a good idea about what presence looks like in the coaching room, what about the opposite, in the form of absence; how does that appear in coaching relationships? It's difficult to talk about absence, without turning the conversation into one about

A topic that comes up time and time again in coaching is boundaries. And it is making a return to the podcast this week. Back in episode 5 we covered this as an area for coaching, and we said we would come back to it again, so here we are, this time hoping to help create a better understanding for our coaching doctors, and, in turn helping coachees to create better boundaries.

Is anyone really uncoachable? You may recall Tom saying on a previous podcast that he could have a good coaching conversation with Barack Obama but that he would probably turn down the opportunity to coach the current American president, and that perhaps he is uncoachable. In this episode we explore this topic more deeply, looking at what might get in the way of someone being coachable at the time that we come to coach them. We also explore whether coaching is right for everyone and whether we
