The Coaching Podcast Emma Doyle

Join us on The Coaching Podcast with our guest coach, Adam Klein, as we unpack essential topics like the "Leader as Coach," the journey of living your vocation, and navigating resistance to unlock team cohesion and inspiration. Discover how integral coaching invites individuals to embrace their full selves—mind, body, and spirit—and how coaches can empower their team members to take responsibility, commit to each other, and work more efficiently together. We'll delve into the art of attunement and response in effective coaching. From practical tips on supporting shy or introverted clients to insights on the mind-body connection and strategies for handling resistance, this episode is packed with valuable knowledge for both new and experienced coaches. 

Check out the highlights;


1.08: Text or Call? 
2.13: What is integral coaching? It is an invitation for someone to discover and lean into their vocation/purpose! To include all of yourself, your thinking world, your feeling world, and your sensing world.
3.13: What can a coach do if their team members are bringing "all" of their problems to work? It is important to have the person consider:

How can you step into more responsibility? More ownership when you show up as your true self? More self-leadership?
How can you support the team? Working together more efficiently?


5.04: How did you become a coach? 
7.15: How can people uncover their vocation?

Acknowledge that that voice is there and then listen to your inner voice.


9.19: What makes a great coach?

Attunement (to self and others) - listening beyond the words
Response (to your client in a way that is helpful) 


13.11: How to coach a person who is shy, reserved, or introverted?

Shift the physical dynamics, environment, or space to create new insights


16.09: What are your thoughts on the mind and body connection?

Relax into the discomfort, breathe into the pain (stop trying to PUSH THROUGH it)
PAUSE, take a breath, and let's "see what happens", take one more step!
Remember WHY am I doing this? What's my commitment? 


18.18: How can you help coaches who are experiencing resistance? 

"What is the resistance teaching me?" "How do I befriend resistance?"


20.28: Do you think that this next generation is internally motivated?

 Yes! People want it but don't necessarily know how to access it.
The missing piece is commitment! 


22.09: How can you help a team be more cohesive?

 It comes back to being aligned with the team's commitment! 


23.29: What's your purpose?

"letting go of everything that is not love and becoming all flame bringing healing and light to others!"


24.01: What disruptive coaching idea do you have that will change the way we coach in 2030?

Coaching is for people who can listen holistically and respond generatively! 


25.22: Do you think anyone can become a coach?
26.14: What do you mean by 'Leader as Coach?'

"Being the wind under the wing."


 27.54: New Venture West Coach Training has three main tracks:

1) Personal cultivation: A coach's way of being - how does the coach show up? (the coach is the soil and you have to cultivate the soil)
2) Learning competencies and skillful coaching: Coaching skills (plant the seeds of coaching skills such as listening, and making requests)
3) Learning within a community: Dual track is practiced within a cohort so that you can all learn from each other


30.02: Three top tips on how coaches can respond generatively.

1) Attunement: Who is this person now? (Not, who do we think they are!)
2) Notice our skillfulness (What's my own range in being able to respond?)
3) Who am I learning from?

In today's episode of The Coaching Podcast, we talk about the transformative work of Jennifer Fraser, an award-winning educator and best-selling author of The Bullied Brain: Heal Your Scars and Restore Your Health. Jennifer's unique approach focuses on shifting from outdated bullying models to brain-informed frameworks, reshaping how we understand and address bullying in both sporting and organizational settings. Join us as we explore her insights on neuroscience, the impact of bullying on brain development, and practical strategies for coaches to foster resilience and positive growth. 

Here are the summary points;


1.06: French toast or pancakes? 
1.19: Where did your study of Neuro-science begin?
5.59: Is it a good thing that we have labels to call out bullying behavior?

Bullying is a deficit in the brain


9.25: Is bullying present in our schools in the workplace today? YES!

"Bullying is not designed to help someone fulfill their potential."
Watch out for these things that can destroy your brain and your health:

Favoritism - these are the defenders of the bully
Fear - empowering the abuser
Humiliation 




14.34: What did you discover about the brain?

Up to 12/13 years - the brain is very resilient
13 - 24 years (when the children look like adults) - their brains are not fully developed and they are incredibly vulnerable to bullying

The brain becomes reward-seeking, risk-taking, highly impulsive, and emotional!
Their peers are the new tribe! 


Neurological scars exit from bullying in the brain (hard to physically "see" the abuse).


19.35: What can coaches do to help re-wire the brain to help young people be more resilient and make better choices? 

At the base of the brain needs:

Connection
Safety - allow the athlete to make mistakes 
Empathy - you can grow talent through empathy (the "talent whisper")


Tom Brady has an amazing working memory!


25.00: Tom Brady does daily brain training: www.brainHQ.com
29.41: What makes a great coach?

Knowledge
Empathy
Care


31.32: "Neural networks that fire together, wire together!"
32.24: Two practical tips to enhance your brain and avoid negative thinking:

1) Do aerobic fitness with other people
2) Mindfulness


35.35: Resilience Fatigue - what's going on in the brain?

Psychiatry and psychology - tend to focus on the past (a trauma ) so that we can understand it and move forward. 
Mindfulness - focuses on being in the present moment.
Neuroscience - is all about the future! What is it that I want in the future? Because neuro-plasticity means we can change our brains


38.19: Disruptive coaching idea that will change the way we coach in 2030?

We have to look at our brains the same way that we look at knees, shoulders, etc.
The brain is wired to repair and recover.

About Jennifer Fraser

Jennifer Fraser has a PhD in Comparative Literature from the University of Toronto where she was trained to take different discourses out of their silos, and put them into an arena together, to see if the conversation changed. When she put bullying/abuse and neuroscience into the arena for her fourth book, she was shocked. As an award-winning educator of over 20 years, Jennifer feels strongly that all teachers, parents, coaches, and business leaders need to know what hurts brains and what empowers them. Her 2022 book, "The Bullied Brain: Heal Your Scars and Restore Your Health" is described by one of the world's most highly-awarded neuroscientists, Dr. Michael Merzenich as "THE most completely scientifically thorough treatment of the subject on planet earth." Jennifer has a new book forthcoming in the fall of 2025: "Shattered Brains: How Gaslighting Impacts the Mind & Proven Ways to Stay Safe & Sane."

Be ready for an episode like never before on The Coaching Podcast with this fascinating guest, Tony Latimer, a Master Executive Coach. Tony shares his insights on a variety of topics, such as learning how to listen from your subconscious so that you can coach at the speed of thought which operates on a Quantum Physics level. We explore the essential skill of listening, the parallels between coaching mastery and martial arts, and the transformative impact of AI in the coaching world. Get ready for a conversation filled with profound insights, practical advice, and innovative ideas that will enhance your coaching journey. Put your notebooks away, trust your memory recall, and listen deeply to this episode, if you want to learn how to become a master coach! 

Here are the summary points;


1.05: Sushi or tempura?
2.40: Following coaching models "V" coaching at the speed of thought happens on two levels:

1) Newtonian Physics - We are using our key senses to coach.
Or if you want to get to the "black belt" level in coaching you have to let go of the models.
2) Quantum physics - what is the degree of energy that you are able to bring to your coaching?


5.10: How can a coach prepare to be fully present for a coaching session?

When you are learning to coach - you are letting go of being the problem-solver
Mastery - you need to let go of the need for the problem to be solved at all
Learning how to listen from your sub-conscious (all mind-state experiences are stored) helps to sharpen everything


8.39: "We experience a physical manifestation of the emotional content of the neural pathway that we are currently accessing." This process helps us to re-awaken energetically with people.  
10.12: Your thoughts are physical. They are electrochemical signals on neural pathways in your brain.
12.21: Practice 3 times a day for 2 or 3 months: It takes 8 seconds to recall an empty mind!
14.16: How can a coach be comfortable in silence?

Train your sub-conscious to listen for:

Keywords that have behind them emotions, values, and beliefs that could be blocking them from moving forward.
Judgments = are a conscious awareness reaction




20.40: Stop taking notes! "Your ears and your mouth do not work at the same time."

No one has a memory storage problem - it is generally a memory recall problem.
There is seemingly no limit as to what you can teach your brain to do for you.


25.59: Disruptive coaching idea (2030)?

Never use this sentence again: "AI will never be able to !"
Human coaches are going to need to coach at an energetic level. 


32.14: What makes a great coach?

Listening and Energy!


32.56: What is your connection to The Inner Game of Tennis?

Performance Equation: Performance = Potential - Interference 


37.22: Stop saying "I believe in you," instead say: "I know you can do this."
38.09: 3 possible interferences:

1) Skill - do they know how to do it (knowledge and confidence). 
2) Environmental - anything outside of the person that impacts their ability to do it. 
3) Aspiration - be careful here because you may get a false positive.


40.01: "This is why we focus everything in coaching on behaviors, not mindset. You can get a mindset change from re-engineering from behaviors."
41.43: How to start a coaching conversation. "People can't go anywhere if they don't know where they are." Find out what's the real issue here.
43.41: Coaching is getting absolute clarity on where they are now, absolute clarity on where they need to be, and working out (at the speed of thought at a sub-conscious level) what they need to do differently to get from here to there.
