    How to Stop Drifting Through Life: Discipline, Accountability & Intentional Living | Marty Hofmann

    How do you stop drifting through life and become more intentional about the things that really matter? In this episode of The Coaching Clubhouse, Adrian Last talks to Kill Complacency author, entrepreneur and podcaster Marty Hofmann about discipline, accountability, habits and intentional living. Marty believes complacency isn't necessarily about being lazy or doing nothing. You can be incredibly busy, successful and ambitious — while still drifting away from your relationships, health, friendships or the other things that matter to you. They explore the difference between contentment and complacency, how to create better work-life balance, Marty's Seven Fs framework, why fun sometimes needs to be intentional, and how discipline becomes easier when a behaviour becomes part of your identity. From a coaching perspective, they also explore accountability, whether we can recognise our own blind spots, and what to do when we know something in our life needs to change. Marty's practical starting point is refreshingly simple: name it and track it. In this episode: 00:00 Introduction 01:13 What does complacency really look like? 04:02 Providing for your family vs being present 07:32 Complacency vs contentment: what's wrong with being comfortable? 11:25 The Seven Fs: building a more balanced life 14:37 Why fun needs to be intentional 16:16 How to build discipline that lasts 18:19 Accountability: why doing it alone is difficult 21:40 How do you recognise when you're drifting? 24:43 Where Marty still struggles with complacency 26:31 Feeling stuck? Name it and track it 28:08 The promise Marty is making to himself Find out more about Marty, Kill Complacency and his podcast at killcomplacency.com About The Coaching Clubhouse The Coaching Clubhouse is a coaching and personal development podcast hosted by Adrian Last, featuring informal conversations about coaching, leadership, careers, mindset and making positive changes in life and work.

    Questions are a gift | Chris Goldson (Extra Shot 5)

    After a career in sales, Chris Goldson thought he was pretty good at asking questions. Then he trained as a coach and realised something: he was really good at asking leading questions. In this clip, Chris and Adrian explore one of the fundamental shifts of coaching — letting go of the need to have the answer and instead using questions as a gift, giving someone else the space to think.

    Ask yourself: what could I do? Chris Goldson (Extra Shot 4)

    You don't have to go from avoiding public speaking to delivering a keynote overnight. Chris Goldson shares one deceptively simple coaching question: “What could you do?” Could you ask the question? Share the idea? Speak up in the meeting? Sometimes confidence starts not with a giant leap, but with identifying the next step you're prepared to take. Watch or listen to the full conversation with Chris Goldson in The Coaching Clubhouse.

    How to stop playing safe | Chris Goldson (Extra Shot 3)

    Great strategy. Great ideas. Great people. And then… a completely forgettable presentation. Chris Goldson has a brilliant way of describing his work: “I rescue brilliant people from being beige.” Here he explains why playing safe when the moment really matters can actually be the riskiest thing you can do — and why brilliant people need the confidence to stand out.

    What’s really holding you back? Chris Goldson (Extra Shot 2)

    Sometimes a lack of confidence has very little to do with our actual ability. A bad presentation, something a boss once said — even an experience at school — can become a story we carry with us for years. Chris Goldson and Adrian Last explore how coaching can help us challenge those beliefs, take the next step and begin telling ourselves a different story.

    What changes when you stop trying to give people the answers? Presentation coach Chris Goldson explains how training as a coach transformed the way he works — moving from teaching people what “good” looks like to creating conversations where they discover it for themselves. A simple but powerful insight for coaches, leaders and anyone responsible for developing others. Watch or listen to the full conversation with Chris Goldson in The Coaching Clubhouse.

    Chris Goldson: Coaching confidence and rescuing brilliant people from being beige

    What stops brilliant people from speaking up? For many of us, it isn't a lack of knowledge or expertise. It's confidence. More specifically, it's the story we've been telling ourselves for years. In this episode of The Coaching Clubhouse, Adrian Last sits down with presentation coach and qualified coach Chris Goldson to explore how coaching transformed the way he helps leaders, presenters and teams communicate. Chris spent more than 30 years helping organisations tell compelling stories for brands including the BBC, Virgin Radio, Absolute Radio and ITV. But it was learning to coach that fundamentally changed his approach—not by teaching people what to say, but by helping them discover what was stopping them saying it in the first place. Together they discuss: • Why coaching is different from teaching • The surprising reason most presentation nerves have nothing to do with presentation skills • The stories we tell ourselves that hold us back • How great questions create confidence • Why curiosity beats having all the answers • Chris's philosophy of "rescuing brilliant people from being beige." Whether you're leading meetings, pitching ideas, speaking on stage or simply trying to contribute more confidently at work, this conversation is full of practical insights that every leader can apply.
