The Coaching Life Phil Goddard

Creating Success

Originally recorded for The Loving Being Human Podcast, with the launch of that podcast on hold, shared here so that the thousands of listeners of The Coaching Life Podcast can enjoy this amazing conversation with Dominic Scaffidi.

In this episode we discuss:

* Our relationship to being human
* Self creation and self discovery
* How our questions reveal our understanding
* Financial and material success
* The law of attraction and the laws of physics
And, of course, what do we mean by Loving Being Human? Dominic shares a very moving story that completes our conversation, in answer to that question.

Here’s a little more about Dominic:

Dominic Scaffidi’s purpose is to “awaken greatness.” As a certified executive coach, he fulfils this purpose by partnering with individuals to point them back toward the unlimited potential and possibility of who they really are. By accessing their own innate wisdom, clients are supported to take on important professional and personal goals.

1) Individual Executive Coaching for senior leaders, entrepreneurs and high performing individuals.
2) Team Coaching for senior executive teams
3) Training for leaders and people managers to learn “how to be a Great Coach rather than a good boss.”

Experience Leads

Peter is a gem of a genuine coach, self-described as relatively new to the profession. However, it’s very apparent he has extensive experience outside of coaching that is relevant to coaching, and most of his clients are also from all walks of life outside the profession.

During this conversation we discussed:

* Peter’s story of transitioning from the family business into coaching, via psychotherapy.
* His evolution as a coach over the last 3 years.
* How he created his first clients.
* What he noticed about clients not signing up.
* What a full practice looks like.
* A somewhat controversial system he’s been using to connect with some new clients.
* How his experiences in his family business and as a psychotherapist help his coaching

In his own words, here’s a little more about Peter:
‘I am 55 years old and married with 2 grown-up kids. I love coaching, am passionate about health and fitness (I want to be still coaching when I’m 70) and have never been more excited about my future.

I am fairly new to coaching. I trained in 2016 after 20 years in retailing and 10 years as a psychotherapist. A burnout experience led to my move from retail to psychotherapy. Coaching was really more of a hobby until late 2020, when I hired a coach and started coaching full-time. It took me 12 months to fill my practice and another 12 months to increase my fees to the point where my practice started to feel sustainable. My clients are mostly owners, founders, directors and leaders in SME’s across a range of sectors. I also work with some coaches. My work is mostly helping people to get clear about what they really want to create in their life, their work and their relationships and then to help them to see the amazingness that is already within them so that they can go and create whatever it is that they want. If they want help with the creating part, I can help with that too.’
