The Coaching Inn

"Coaching is facilitating someone else to think, but you've just described it as facilitating someone to speak."   In today’s episode, Mark Bixter speaks honestly and spaciously about his transition into coaching, driven by his passion for helping those in need. He highlights the importance of vulnerability coaching, creating a safe space for individuals to express their thoughts and feelings, and the value of facilitating meaningful conversation.    Mark coaches with charities within the third sector and is committed to making coaching accessible and democratic in organisations supporting children's social work services, prison staff, young women, and people with mental health issues in the workplace.    A great insight into working almost exclusively through associate relationships and the difference between coaching and being a coach.   Contact Mark Bixter through https://www.markbixterlifecoach.co.uk/ or Linked In     Find out more about The Forgiveness Project   If you like this episode, subscribe or follow The Coaching Inn on your podcast platform to hear new episodes as they drop.  You  can watch this episode, with subtitles on our YouTube Channel   Coming Up:  Next: Claire Pedrick’s 3D Supervision Community with Guest Host Robbie Swale Summary   Soon: Psychological Safety with Helen Pattison, CEO of War Child   Key Words coaching, charity sector, vulnerability, credibility, partnership, adaptation, associate coach, team, safe space, Mark Bixter, Claire Pedrick   Key Words coaching, charity sector, vulnerability, associate coach, team, safe space, Mark Bixter, Claire Pedrick  

It took one of our students to remind us that a podcast on how we do what we do at 3D would be a great idea! In this bonus episode at the start of International Coaching Week, Claire Pedrick MCC interviews Shaney Crawford about her coaching journey and experiences. Shani shares how she discovered coaching through a podcast and her interest in becoming a better listener. She discusses the transformative impact her training with 3D had on her coaching skills.    Shani also talks about her work as the head of an international school in Japan and her personal journey of overcoming addiction. The conversation highlights the importance of simplicity, containment, and truly hearing others in coaching. In this conversation, Claire and Shaney discuss the importance of creating a safe space for people to share their stories without interruption. They explore the distinction between those who feel obligated to share and those who genuinely need their story to be heard. Hear the journey of becoming an artful coach and the importance of narrowing the gap between your best and hardest coaching sessions.    Shani shares her experiences with Action Learning Facilitator training and the challenges of transitioning from free clients to paid clients. They also touch on the idea of forming a community of coaching cohorts and the benefits of leaving space in online training for conversations.   Contact Shaney through LinkedIn    Find more about 3D’s Training And Claire’s Coaching Supervision Community   If you like this episode, subscribe or follow The Coaching Inn on your podcast platform to hear new episodes as they drop.  You can watch this episode, with subtitles on our YouTube Channel   Key Words coaching, journey, listener, training, transformation, international school, addiction, simplicity, containment, hearing, coaching, storytelling, safe space, interruption, artful coach, Action Learning Facilitator, paid clients, community, post-training conversations, Claire Pedrick, Level 1 Coach Training

The actions we take are only as good as the thinking behind them. And we have an interesting exploration about respect and positive regard.   If you haven’t read Time to Think, take a look!   Contact Anne: www.annehathaway.co.uk   And if you love this episode, please share it and rate it!    Before you go - we’ll never use the podcast to directly sell you anything, but we’re always here for a chat if you are thinking about doing something with us   Keywords coaching, thinking environment, Time to Think, deep respect, listening, journey, supervision training, reflective practice
