With great pleasure, in the final show of Season 2, I would like to introduce Ebony Smith, MCC. This conversation explores with thoughtfulness the idea of Self-Care for Coaches. Many coaches know all the things they need to tell their clients to help them with self-care, yet don't consistently practice the habits that serve them as coaches, leaders, and business owners. Join us as we relax into this idea of Leaders and Coaches starting with themselves, when it comes to care.

Ebony Smith, founder of Ebenum Equation, is an International Coach Federation (ICF) Master Certified Coach (MCC). She is a leadership development expert with a passion for creating forward-thinking leaders. After 20 years of risk management experience in the Fortune 100 (Sunoco, BP, and World Fuel services), her full-spectrum-lens view of leadership has empowered her to help individuals hone their goals and reach their full potential.
Bringing an innovative, straightforward approach, she pushes individuals to leave their “Subject Matter Expert” mindset behind and become relationship-oriented leaders that drive their organizations into the future.
Ebony is passionate about cooking, self-care, and exploring cultures.
We help high-performing teams hack themselves to unlock the power of incremental self-awareness to increase resilience while achieving a flow state. For example, we provide longitudinal care to an opioid crisis team. Our work has reduced stress, increased collaboration, and actively reduced the factors that lead to crisis clinician burnout.
Leadership is a skill and a mindset that needs space to incubate and grow.

I am pleased to introduce Dorothy Siminovitch, Ph.D., MCC, in this episode. Dorothy and I cover many topics, including the exploration of what Gestalt Coaching really is. Looking at how coaches can hold the space for their clients. Gestalt is very focused on the current present state. So awareness is a very key piece of Gestalt coaching. And there are different dimensions to awareness. Picking up your awareness, body cues, framing your awareness, naming what that is, understanding that you might have whatever it is that you name physical or emotional, or an idea might have some emotional energy, excitement, or anxiety. Deciding do we act on that? Awareness is a very key part of the Gestalt approach. So, today you will get a lot of insight into Gestalt Coaching. Enjoy!

I happily welcome Miriam Guerrero Cheuk, MCC, to the Coaching Studio. Join us as we dive into ideas around empowerment and people's basic needs, Autonomy, Purpose, and Mastery. We also take a turn into the idea that the most impactful coaches are the ones that don't see themselves as coaches only professionally, but they see themselves as coaches in all aspects of their life. With that comes curiosity and exploring how we show up, with our ego in the way, or egoless. And how Proximal Learning is a pathway toward your development as a person and as a coach.

She maintains the Master Certified Coach (MCC) Certification with the International Coaching Federation (ICF), specializing in Leadership, Executive, and Life Coaching.

I am happy to introduce Christine Billy, MCC, to the Coaching Studio. Join us as we dive into the Karpman Drama Triangle and discover how a coach can use the model to inform their curiosity and build their own courage. Christine and I explore what it means to come to the center of the triangle and how as a coach, to move from helper to coach. Focusing on the questions and not the solutions. How our preferred role influences the work we individually need to do to find our own center so that we can show up fully with our clients and in our lives.
Christine shares, "I think life is about the learning that I do too. From control to openness. That's our wisdom because we are all unique. We all have a story in life. My experience in coaching is that if you create a safe space, a respectful space, where there is no judgment on the curiosity, and you are with the person or the team, then at some point, people dare to say things sometimes that they have never said to anybody else. And um, that's what we name a moment where they realize that they can face their emotions, their beliefs, and it's not dangerous; it's a relief. So it's a unique experience."

I am happy to introduce Philippe Rosinski, MCC, to the Coaching Studio. We run the gamut from how coaching impacts human potential and how our systems may impact how we decide to be purposeful in this conversation to Culturally competent coaching. We discuss the difference between uniformity and unity. And how some organizations have an impoverishment of differences. In these times of the "Great Resignation," organizations need to be willing to get curious and shift towards more unity. This requires them to explore differences and open up to their diverse population's wisdom, supporting their people's empowerment to share something greater with their organizations and, ultimately, the world.
Prof. Philippe Rosinski, MCC, is considered the pioneer of intercultural and global coaching. He is the author of two seminal books, Coaching Across Cultures and Global Coaching. Philippe is a world authority in executive coaching, team coaching, and global leadership development. He is the first European to have been designated Master Certified Coach by the International Coach Federation. He has also developed an integrative coaching supervision approach. Philippe is the principal of Rosinski & Company, a consultancy based in Belgium with global partners, and a professor at the Kenichi Ohmae Graduate School of Business in Tokyo, Japan. He intervenes in several other academic institutions. He is the co-author of several books, including:
Coaching Across Cultures: New Tools for Leveraging National, Corporate and Professional DifferencesGlobal CoachingRead his chapter in: Evidence Based Coaching Handbook: Putting Best Practices to Work for Your Clients Read his chapter in: Mastering Executive CoachingPhilippe is the author of the Cultural Orientations Framework (COF) assessment. Philippe has received numerous awards, including the Thinkers50 Leading Global Coaches Award and the ICF Circle of Distinction.

This week on the Coaching Studio, I am happy to introduce you to Georgina Woudstra, MCC. This conversation centers around Coaching teams, not facilitating or advising teams, but using your coaching presence and curiosity to hold the space to support teams to self-discovery. It's an important and powerful distinction. Team coaching, with a capital C, is coaching at the heart and lends itself to Teams having insights and agency.

Georgina shares how to stay a coach and empower teams. Team coaching takes a coach able to hold space. Remembering that there is Self, Team, and Situation. Georgina says, "I'm going to say it depends on the SPF because every team is different. Different sizes, contexts, lengths of programs, and levels of maturity. So my answer here is, in an ideal scenario, with a team that can hold it, and you may need to do more work to get the team to that place. But ideally, we mess around with the process as little as possible. See, the moment we facilitate breaking into small groups, and bring them back together, that's facilitating. They're not managing their own process. Right, but if the only invitation is to talk amongst yourselves for ten minutes, then you see, and they get to see how they self-organize. And, um, that's when the learning happens, not when we organize for them. Otherwise, they need us with them organizing their process. So if we get out of the way, the system will reveal itself good, bad, or indifferent."
Georgina Woudstra is much more than an executive coach. She is a chief executive coach with more than 30 years of experience and a proven track record in coaching CEOs, executive boards, senior leaders, and top teams. She specializes in coaching new and established CEOs as well as CEOs in the making. Georgina is one of the leading lights globally in team coaching. In 2017, she founded the Team Coaching Studio to provide coaches with a pathway to mastery in team coaching, ultimately leading to professional accreditation with the leading professional bodies. She is one of the first coaches globally to be recognized by the International Coaching Federation with the Advanced Certificate in Team Coaching.
