Your Coaching Journey

“How much should I charge for my coaching?”   This is a common question that we hear from new coaches and sadly, there isn’t a succinct answer. It can feel like a minefield when it comes to pricing, and we’re all looking for that ‘goldilocks’ amount that feels right for us, and also is acceptable to the coachees that we are attracting to our coaching space.   We can’t tell you what you should be charging for your coaching, but we can help you reach your own right answer? On this podcast we talk through the different elements involved, from overcoming a reluctance to charge anything, to getting to grips with the cost of providing a coaching service, and then gaining an understanding of the true value of your coaching.   Join us for an exploration of a coaching issue that we know many coaches find challenging.     Enjoy the podcast?

We do like to catch up with doctors who have been through our programme and to find out how they are using coaching in various ways in the real world.   In this episode we meet up with Dr Natasha Holmes, who leads an extremely full working life.    Natasha is a locum paediatric doctor, life coach, well-being workshop facilitator and mental health advocate.  She is co creator of “The Fully Well Doc Pod” podcast which aims to inspire and empower doctors to make changes in their personal and working lives for greater happiness and fulfilment whilst having genuine conversations about the challenges faced by those in the medical profession.    Listen in as we ask her how she is using coaching since she qualified with us, and find out her favourite tools and questions to use with clients.   Resources: You can listen to Natasha’s podcast here: https://thefullywelldocpod.podbean.com/   Enjoy the podcast?

Coaching often revolves around helping someone to raise their self-awareness, and really start to understand their personality, their values, their patterns of behaviour, their emotional responses, their strengths, as well as their vulnerabilities and weaknesses.   Coaching is also commonly focused on the coachee’s interactions with others, what they choose to share with those around them, how they are perceived by others, and how they navigate their relationships in an authentic way.   In this episode we explore a tool that might help us facilitate this exploration for our coachees. It is a model that supports coachees as they develop personal insight and become aware of how they are perceived.   Join us as we take a look through the Johari Window.   Resources:   Enjoy the podcast?

On our podcast we regularly explore the topics that coachees might bring to a coaching conversation.   One such topic that shows up a lot in our coaching is motivation or, more specifically, a lack of it. Coachees are often asking how they can feel more motivated, or how we can motivate them.   What we often find is that those same coachees who are struggling with their motivation will provide us with evidence of actions that they do feel motivated to take.   Sometimes uncovering the motivation they say they’re lacking is just a matter of increasing their awareness and developing their understanding of what’s going on for them.   In this episode we journey through some of the psychological theories and frameworks around motivation and explore how they could be useful for our coachees, and also for us as coaches.   Enjoy the podcast?

Metaphors are an aspect of language that most of us will happily use until the cows come home. However, because we are so used to building metaphor into our speech it passes us by, uncovered, and we are denied the lightbulb moments that might guide us if we were to wake up and smell the coffee.    In this episode, we serve up a way of plucking metaphors from a coachee’s language and putting them under the microscope, thus adding colour to our coaching tapestry. This may allow our coachees to mine a rich vein of awareness that could have remained buried without this approach. Personal transformations will bloom, hurdles will turn to stepping stones, and new thinking will percolate as we shine a light on the metaphors within our coaching conversations.   Watch Caitlin Walker’s Ted Talk on the way she introduced clean language to the world of teenage education. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVvcU5gG4KU&t=768s   Enjoy the podcast?

We regularly see psychological and coaching models being shared on social media, in blogs and discussions, and sometimes the sharing sets our teeth on edge.   We’ve mentioned this before when we explored the myth of Ikigai, and in this episode, we’d like to air some thoughts on a model often shared on social media, Kübler-Ross Change Curve.   In this episode we would like to engage in a little mythbusting around where this model comes from, why it’s unhelpful to call it the Kübler-Ross Change Curve, and under what circumstances talking about change in terms of curve may, or may not be useful.   Resources:   Not The Kubler-Ross Change Curve     Enjoy the podcast?

We can’t quite believe that we’ve arrived at the milestone of recording 50 episodes of the Your Coaching Journey podcast! We thought we might run out of things to say to one another after half a dozen, but here we are, still having great conversations about coaching almost a year on from recording our first episode.   We’ve loved every minute of it. More than that, we’ve loved hearing from you that you love it too.   As it’s our 50th episode we thought we’d indulge in a little self-promotion, which we seldom do, so this week we’re talking about how our Transformational Coaching Diploma programme came to exist, what makes it different to many coaching courses and what we love about running it.   If you would like to find out more once you’ve listened to this episode, do get in touch, or if you have a colleague who is interested in learning to coach just direct them to our website https://yourcoachingjourney.com/   Resources: Listen to and read testimonials from our graduates: https://yourcoachingjourney.com/testimonials/   Find out about our Doctors’ Transformational Coaching Diploma   Enjoy the podcast?

From time to time we devote an episode to questions about coaching that have been asked by our listeners.   In this episode we explore whether, as a new coach who hasn’t quite got all the tools at your fingertips, you can still be a great coach. We also chat about pricing, whether it’s worth being accredited as a coach, and what you need to think about if you’re working in an organisation and they are paying you to coach a member of their staff.   If you have a question to ask about coaching and would like us to answer it for you on the podcast, do send us your questions, or even drop us a voice note of your question, and we’ll feature it on a future episode.   Enjoy the podcast?

If you’re a regular listener to our podcast you will have noticed that we regularly discuss how we might deal with different topics that show up in the coaching room. This week we discussed working with coachees around meaning and purpose.    Coachees may not always come to coaching asking for support on finding meaningful purpose, but often they’ll talk about feeling stuck, feeling lost, or feeling as though they’re in a bit of a rut. At these times a conversation around what their purpose is and what is meaningful to them can encourage them to generate some new thinking about what might add more meaningful purpose to their life.    You might well have had times in your own life when you’ve had similar feelings and struggled to find a way through that time. Coaching conversations provide the perfect opportunity to open up this deeper thinking for the coachee.    In this episode we explore the concepts of meaning, purpose, and meaningful purpose, and what elements might contribute to the notion of living a meaningful life.    Enjoy the podcast?
