    Creating a Game Worth Playing

    Are you winning or just getting results?  In this episode of TiniTalk, Tini speaks with her coach of 30 years, Master Coach Kelly Poulos, co-author of Secrets to Winning, and they both challenge the conventional definition of success.   Together, they explore why lasting performance requires two equally important elements: the results we produce and the experience we intentionally create for ourselves and others. Kelly introduces four performance zones—the Dead Zone, the Grind, the Growth Zone and the Game Worth Playing—and explains how recognising where we are can help us reclaim our agency, renew our commitment and improve our execution. This is a conversation about loving the process, moving beyond relentless achievement and consciously choosing how we want to work, lead and live. The Coach Partnership is one of the world’s leading transformational learning organizations, known for its globally recognized 9 month, ICF Level 2, Newfield Coach Certification program. We have been bringing the Newfield suite of ontological coach training programs and ICF certification to Asia since 2010.

    The Portfolio of Life: Reimagining Work, Adventure, and Living to the Fullest

    Who are you when you strip away your job title, your roles, and the labels you’ve carried for years? In this episode of TINITALK, Tini Fadzillah sits down with Jiezhen Wu—leadership coach, community builder, and former Executive Director of The Hidden Good—for an honest conversation about identity, purpose, and the courage to reimagine ourselves through life’s different seasons.     Together, they explore: Why our identity should never be confined to a job title or a single role.How to recognise when an old story has expired—and give ourselves permission to evolve.What it means to lead with intention while embracing the many facets of who we are.Building communities where people feel safe to grow, belong, and become.Designing a “portfolio life” that integrates work, family, purpose, adventure, and wellbeing rather than forcing us to choose between them.    The conversation also offers a refreshing perspective on modern leadership and parenting through Jiezhen’s family “portfolio year,” the creation of her Mindful Mamas community, and the heartwarming story behind the Pajama Party Podcast she co-hosts with her five-year-old daughter, Juniper. Together, they remind us that some of life’s most meaningful conversations happen in the simplest moments.   This episode is an invitation to pause and ask yourself: Who am I beyond my labels? What old stories am I still living that have already expired? Who am I becoming in this season of my life?  The Coach Partnership is one of the world’s leading transformational learning organizations, known for its globally recognized 9 month, ICF Level 2, Newfield Coach Certification program.

    The Liquid Accordion: A Somatic and Embodiment Primer for Coaching In, With, and Through the Body for Coaches and Leaders

    In this episode of TINITALK, Tini Fadzillah sits down with Croft Edwards, author of The Liquid Accordion, for a conversation on somatics and how the body shapes how we think, feel, and lead.  Croft Edwards is a somatic leadership coach, Master Certified Coach (MCC), President of CROFT + Company, and a coach on The Coach Partnership’s Newfield programme. Croft shares his journey from a military background, where the body was trained to armour and endure, to discovering a different way of being through ontological coaching, where the body becomes a source of awareness, insight, and choice. Together, they explore what it means to move from a body of combat to a body of fluidity, and how our somatic shape quietly determines what we notice, how we respond, and what becomes possible. This episode offers practical entry points into somatic awareness, including Croft’s concept of pivot points, eyes, jaw, hands, and feet, and what they reveal about our state in the moment. For coaches, leaders, and anyone navigating complex environments, this conversation invites a simple but powerful shift. Not to fix the body, but to begin listening to it. Because if we cannot access it in the body, we cannot access it at all. The Coach Partnership is one of the world’s leading transformational learning organizations, known for its globally recognized 9 month, ICF Level 2, Newfield Coach Certification program. We have been bringing the Newfield suite of ontological coach training programs and ICF certification to Asia since 2010.

Whether you are a coach, a leader, or simply curious about how conversations create change, this episode invites you to listen differently to others and to yourself.

    Becoming WYLD: On Business, Love and Being Real

Throughout their conversation, Tini and Kara unpack the ontological themes that run through Kara’s work — identity, self-expression, and the courage to show up honestly in both business and life. They explore the emotional realities of entrepreneurship, the unseen stories people carry with them, and how turning pain into purpose can become a way of leading with heart. This episode is for anyone navigating business, love, and the ongoing work of becoming who they truly are.

    Building Brands: Where Play Meets Purpose

    In this episode of TINITALK, host Tini Fadzillah sits down with her longtime friend Alim (Business and Brand Strategist, Ontological Coach, Founder of Play Persay) to explore how play unlocks performance and why brand-building starts with identity. Drawing on more than two decades of experience in both corporate marketing and people development, Alim shares how he came to create a consultancy built on the belief that good people doing good things deserve to thrive. Throughout their conversation, Tini and Alim unpack the “ontological lens” that underpins his work—highlighting the power of declarations, how our language shapes who we become, and why entrepreneurs need to align inner purpose with outward expression. They discuss branding as a conscious choice rather than simply matching the inside and outside, and they challenge leaders to access a state of play where collaboration and creativity flourish. Whether you are a founder, a coach, or simply curious about personal and professional growth, this episode offers fresh insights into the interplay between identity, business strategy, and the joy of play. The Coach Partnership is one of the world’s leading transformational learning organizations, known for its globally recognized 9 month, ICF Level 2, Newfield Coach Certification program.

    On Being Human: Conversations at the Intersection of Anthropology and Ontological Coaching

    What does it really mean to be human? We are kicking off the first episode of the year with a powerful (and delightfully personal) conversation where anthropology meets ontological coaching. Host Tini Fadzillah is joined by her sister (yes, actual sister!), cultural anthropologist Dr. Ida Fadzillah Leggett, for this premiere episode. Together, they explore how these two distinct lenses ask the same big questions: identity, meaning, culture, embodiment, and our ongoing evolution. Expect curiosity, laughter, and a few classic sisterly jabs as they dive into what it truly takes to grow - both personally and collectively.
