Bali Brotherhood

A one hour chat with my dear friend in Bali.
In this conversation we discuss:

* The magic of men’s circles, and what inspired Dean to start facilitating them.
* Handling things when they get tough.
* Dean’s journey into addiction and through recovery.
* The intoxicating nature of Bali and how it was to live there during the pandemic
* Bali shredding.
* Happiness, contentment, and being okay.
* The power of not giving advice.
* Dean’s ‘unconventional’ marriage, the safety of commitment, and how he stays connected with his wife.
* The power of humour in our experience of life, and why people get offended.
* Water Fasting for 40 days
* What men want and their biggest struggle in life!

Apologies for the quality and imbalance of the sound in this episode, due to my over-excitement in missing doing some pre-recording checks. I hope this will not take away any enjoyment of the conversation, which is most definitely worth your time to listen.

Here’s a little more about Dean:
Dean is a living testament to the transformative power of self-empowerment and a steadfast dedication to guiding individuals from all walks of life towards discovering inspiration from within. With over two decades of hands-on experience, Dean has established himself as a highly regarded relationship coach, author, educator, and counselor.

His professional journey encompasses a diverse range of roles, where he has provided guidance to individuals, couples, and groups, navigating the intricate dynamics of human connections. Dean's expertise goes beyond the conventional, as he seamlessly integrates his deep musical background into his practice. He has orchestrated and led numerous drumming circles, cacao ceremonies, men's circles, mixed circles, and an array of workshops designed to empower others to find and express their authentic selves.

Dean's unique approach extends beyond the realms of traditional coaching, as he serves as a facilitator, master equilibrator, and beta release practitioner. He not only imparts knowledge and skills but shares the wealth of his profound life experiences and genuine compassion. This combination, coupled with his keen insight and unwavering humanity, enables him to authentically connect with those who seek his guidance, providing assistance and relief.
In every facet of his work, Dean remains committed to fostering personal growth and transformation. His ability to listen attentively and connect with individuals on a deep level sets him apart, making him a trusted ally for those embarking on their journey towards self-discovery and fulfilment.

Creating Success

Originally recorded for The Loving Being Human Podcast, with the launch of that podcast on hold, shared here so that the thousands of listeners of The Coaching Life Podcast can enjoy this amazing conversation with Dominic Scaffidi.

Experience Leads

Peter is a gem of a genuine coach, self-described as relatively new to the profession. However, it’s very apparent he has extensive experience outside of coaching that is relevant to coaching, and most of his clients are also from all walks of life outside the profession.

During this conversation we discussed:

* Peter’s story of transitioning from the family business into coaching, via psychotherapy.
* His evolution as a coach over the last 3 years.
* How he created his first clients.
* What he noticed about clients not signing up.
* What a full practice looks like.
* A somewhat controversial system he’s been using to connect with some new clients.
* How his experiences in his family business and as a psychotherapist help his coaching

In his own words, here’s a little more about Peter:
‘I am 55 years old and married with 2 grown-up kids. I love coaching, am passionate about health and fitness (I want to be still coaching when I’m 70) and have never been more excited about my future.

I am fairly new to coaching. I trained in 2016 after 20 years in retailing and 10 years as a psychotherapist. A burnout experience led to my move from retail to psychotherapy. Coaching was really more of a hobby until late 2020, when I hired a coach and started coaching full-time. It took me 12 months to fill my practice and another 12 months to increase my fees to the point where my practice started to feel sustainable. My clients are mostly owners, founders, directors and leaders in SME’s across a range of sectors. I also work with some coaches. My work is mostly helping people to get clear about what they really want to create in their life, their work and their relationships and then to help them to see the amazingness that is already within them so that they can go and create whatever it is that they want. If they want help with the creating part, I can help with that too.’
