What if coaching invited a little more movement… and a lot more YES? In this episode of the Coaching Magic podcast, Sue Hawkes and I explore the surprising and powerful ways music, dance, and movement can shift energy, deepen connection, and open new pathways in coaching. We talk about what happens when we let ourselves move—physically and metaphorically—and how saying yes to unexpected experiences can lead to meaningful growth. Through stories, laughter, and reflection, we dive into the importance of authenticity, deep listening, and presence with our clients. We explore how movement can soften a room, how music can unlock emotion, and why creating safety allows vulnerability and truth to emerge. Our conversation weaves toward what’s next—an upcoming book, new adventures, and the magic that unfolds when we stay open to possibility. This episode is an invitation to loosen your grip, trust your body, and remember that sometimes the most powerful coaching move… is simply saying yes. Meet Sue!
