Your Coaching Journey Tom Dillon & Helen Leathers

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
