    Episode #166: And now for something completely different!

    This week, we've taken the opportunity to share a podcast that was recorded 3 years ago, when our own podcast was still a gangly youth.    Tom was invited on to the marvellous Rachel Morris's 'You Are Not a Frog Podcast' and had a conversation with Rachel about the different coaching approaches that exist.    In this hour-long episode Tom and Rachel explore the benefits of coaching and how wonderful it is to be truly listened to. They also take a look at how different approaches might be useful in working with different topics and with different clients.    Tom provides a whistle stop tour of the coaching approaches that we teach on our Doctors' Transformational Coaching Diploma and even engages in a couple of brief coaching demonstrations to help generate some new thinking for Rachel.   Settle in for a good listen!    Resources:  Listen to the You Are Not a Frog Podcast: youarenotafrog.com Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube: http://youtube.com/@youarenotafrog/ Enjoy the podcast?

    Episode #164: Finding Practice Clients

    An essential part of learning to coach is practicing the skills of coaching. Delegates on our Doctors' Transformational Coaching Diploma often ask us how they can find some practice clients.   We have ways of attracting practice clients for our students, but when they're looking to boost their hours, we offer our advice on finding their own.   In this episode,we thought we would share this advice with you, plus we will have a discussion about the potential problems of coaching someone too close to you.   Resources: To apply for three free one hour sessions from one of our trained but not yet qualified coaches, the form is at the bottom of this page: https://yourcoachingjourney.com/coaching-for-doctors/     Enjoy the podcast?

    Episode #162: ADHD

    We began our exploration of Neurodiversity in Coaching in episode 146, with a bit of an introduction to the topic and the terminology around both neurodiversity and neurodivergence.    Today we want to venture a little deeper into one particular neurodivergence - ADHD or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder to give it its full title. ADHD is a phenomenon that is receiving increasing attention within the coaching world and it is very likely that you will come across coachees that identify as living with ADHD.   In this episode we take a look at some of the nuances of ADHD and Tom shares his own personal journey to gaining a better understanding of the topic and trying to sort out the facts from the theories.     Enjoy the podcast?

    Episode #161: Deeper Coaching Presence

    We have discussed both presence and absence in the coaching room in previous episodes, and today we want to venture a little deeper around the concept of presence in coaching.    We all know when we have experienced someone who is fully present for us; someone who has listened and allowed us to feel heard and understood.    Presence makes a difference.    We will all have also experienced times when our coach has been a little distracted or not fully engaged. Coaching presence is such a powerful phenomenon and at the same time, something quite intangible, so we thought we'd try and define it for our listeners.   Join us for this episode as we explore what coaching presence is, why it's important, and some ways in which you can cultivate a more powerful presence in your coaching sessions. Resources:   Questions asked in this podcast: What prevents you from being fully present? What pulls you out of presence? How/What do you notice when your presence has slipped?   Journaling Prompts: What pulls you out of presence? How is your Coaching Presence now?   What supports and nourishes it? How do you want your presence to be? How do you know when you've slipped out of presence?   What's the gap you are bridging?   What gets in your way of being present? How do you want to be with yourself as you practice becoming more present?       Enjoy the podcast?

    Episode #160: Coaching Tools: Questions from Stoic Philosophy

    What have the Stoics ever done for us?   Well apart from aqueducts, wine, irrigation, sanitation, the roads, medicine, public order and the baths, the Stoics also gave us a few different ways of thinking about events that we have no control over.    The Roman stoics, Seneca and Marcus Aureleus and the Greek stoics, Zeno of Citium and Epictetus, along with a few other philosophers, used their ancient wisdom to unlock what was going on for their contemporaries. That same wisdom may provide novel ways of viewing our own environment and provide us with some alternative perspectives that could benefit us in our modern world.   In this episode we explore three stoic questions that could help our coachees to move forward in their thinking.    Join us as we explore a little stoic philosophy that we might choose to bring into the coaching space.     Enjoy the podcast?

    Episode #159: Coaching Tools: Positive Psychology Interventions

    Positive Psychology is a popular coaching approach with the doctors on our transformational coaching diploma. It feels uplifting to coach using positive psychology, but there is much more to the approach than just inviting people to smile more and see put a more optimistic spin on events.    We've talked about Positive Psychology in previous episodes, and in this episode we dedicated to explore in more detail some of the research backed tools that are known as Positive Psychology Interventions or PPIs, and consider how they might be of use in the coaching room.   Resources:  For more information on PPIs visit:  https://positivepsychology.com/positive-psychology-interventions/      Enjoy the podcast?
