The Coaching Life

For the first episode of 2017, Dave Kibby offered to interview me, to show the story behind the interviewer. Dave showed up in his usual colours, with his usual humour and warmness, and unsurprisingly we ended up talking about love quite a bit… I hope you enjoy this one! http://www.philg.com http://fbphil.com http://www.philg.com/liberty

Irreverent priestess with a humongous heart. A modern medicine woman using deep coaching, creativity, intuition. Wild Artist Allison is simply one of my most favourite people on the planet, and I LOVED recording this episode! I couldn’t have a Podcast and not invite her as a guest, and I’m releasing this a week ahead of schedule because I just can’t sit on it any longer! Allison is the one person that I often suggest people check out when they talk to me about their own concerns around how they show up in the world, and whether they can make any kind of living through their own creativity and by freely expressing theirselves. Allison does exactly that, with zero filters. She lights up my Facebook feed every day in rich colour, in both pictures and words, and shows it all! She is also one of the most creative people I have ever met. Hold on to your seats and enjoy the ride! She doesn’t hold back!

Recording this one was a lot of fun! Dave and I have developed a beautifully honest friendship since connecting at the start of this year. In this episode, he shares very honestly about his journey this year, how he handled some times of despair and has come out the other side energised and in love with what he is doing. And he’s doing some amazing things. Dave is an executive coach currently coaching a number of CEOs of big multi-national companies. He spent twenty years of his previous life in two careers, as a school teacher and then in to business where he became CEO fo a small, privately owned PLC that became hugely successful on Dave’s arrival after many previous years of stagnation.  During this time, Dave learnt the art of using professional honesty to change the performance of others and he hasn’t looked back.

Episode 1 is with the rather brilliant Kevin Waldron, of Waldron Leadership. I was delighted when Kevin agreed to the interview, knowing he would give a completely open and honest account of his own coaching practice and his views on the coaching profession. This was a thoroughly real and enjoyable episode to record and I am sure will be very useful to many coaches. Kevin is the founder of Waldron Leadership, a business coaching and consulting company, that helps business owners and their teams achieve higher levels of performance. An experienced entrepreneur, Kevin started and grew a $24M a year disaster restoration company with over 200 employees and 5 offices, before selling his business to a national franchise. Based in Novato CA, Kevin now works with business owners and clients around the world to grow their results. In 2015 he pioneered the Kilimanjaro Project, a life leadership program, that had him take a client to the top of Mt Kilimanjaro in Africa. Kevin is also the author of the upcoming book “LOOK! ... How high performers change how they see their world to create a life worth living.” You can connect with him at www.waldronleadership.com
