  1. Leadership, Parenting, and the Inner Work That Shapes the Future with Ger Daly

    Leadership, Parenting, and the Inner Work That Shapes the Future with Ger Daly

    Where does deep inner work, leadership, and parenting intersect? This conversation with Ger Daly explores what it means to fully commit to one’s transformational journey—and how that inner work inevitably shapes the relationships we enter, the way we raise our children, and how we lead others in the world. Ger reflects on how disconnected he once was from himself, and how a serendipitous encounter with a masseuse named Alma—“soul” in Spanish—became the unexpected catalyst for his awakening and ongoing transformation. He also shares vulnerably about his daughter’s prenatal diagnosis, and how love, presence, and inner work carried him and his wife through the fear and uncertainty of facing a worst-case scenario. Together, Jonathan Hermida and Ger explore why the era of knowledge and performance is giving way to embodiment, nervous system regulation, and personal sovereignty—and why these capacities are becoming essential for leaders and parents navigating an increasingly complex world. ⏰ Timestamps 03:37 Ger Daley's Early Struggles and Awakening06:27 Discovering Healing Practices12:16 The Power of Meditation and Energy Work14:25 Becoming a Coach and Transformational Leader19:44 Navigating Relationships and Personal Growth25:12 Challenges and Reclaiming Personal Agency29:13 The Importance of Humility and Continuous Growth32:04 A Life-Changing Experience: Annie's Birth34:58 Overcoming Medical Challenges and Finding Strength37:12 Living with Love and Embracing the Unexpected39:28 Annie's Miracle Journey41:52 Choosing the Right Partner44:43 The Healing Power of Relationships49:11 Moving to a Remote Island55:46 Raising Conscious Children01:05:15 The Future of Leadership01:12:26 The Age of the Wisdom Worker01:13:16 Opportunities in a Changing World01:14:52 The Importance of Self-Awareness01:16:31 The Power of Inner Work🔗 Learn more about Ger : Website: https://www.gerdaly.ieLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ger-daly-coach/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gerdalycoaching/ Learn More About Our Work at the Center:  Website: https://www.centerfortransformationalcoaching.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thedeepcoachInstagram: https://instagram.com/thedeepcoach➡️ Download our Free Guide:  "How to Make a Living as a Transformational Coach" 💡 Please subscribe to get updates on the latest episodes.

    Measuring the Invisible: Human Potential, Trust, and the Future of Leadership with Mark Vandeneijnde

    How can human potential actually be measured? And once it’s measured, what can you actually do with that information? In this episode of The Deep Coach, Jonathan Hermida sits down with Mark Vandeneijnde, co-founder of Being at Full Potential and creator of the Human Potential & IDG assessment platforms, to explore a bold question: Can we bring objectivity to inner development—without losing its soul?

    The Surrender Experiment: Jonathan Hermida’s Journey From Corporate Life to Fulfilling HIs Purpose

    What would you do if you left everything behind to travel the world and find yourself? And what if you then began trusting whatever life presented—without question—saying yes to it all? That’s exactly what Jonathan did. In this special episode, the tables turn. Founder of the Center for Transformational Coaching, Leon VanderPol, interviews Jonathan Hermida, host of The Deep Coach Podcast and Managing Director of the Center, about his own journey of awakening and surrender. Jonathan shares how he went from living a life of default—driven by success, approval, and survival—to leaving behind his corporate job, his home, and the familiar world he knew in search of truth and freedom. His story takes us across continents and through profound inner transformation: from heartbreak and mindfulness to plant medicine, love, and finding his purpose through service. It’s a conversation about grace, courage, and the deep trust that arises when we let life lead.   ⏰ Timestamps 01:59 The Hero's Journey Begins03:46 Early Life and Struggles09:13 Breaking Point and Seeking Help11:01 Discovering Mindfulness and Self-Awareness16:54 Corporate Life and Inner Conflict21:41 Decision to Leave and Embrace Freedom27:38 Journey to Latin America30:48 Healing and Self-Discovery35:29 Embracing New Possibilities36:34 Embracing Inner Self37:47 Journey to South Korea39:23 Discovering Coaching42:45 Healing Relationships48:16 Returning Home51:54 Living a Life of Surrender58:59 Entrepreneurial Journey🔗 Connect with Jonathan 🌐 www.jonathanhermida.com📸 Instagram 💼 LinkedIn  Learn More About Our Work at the Center:  Website: https://www.centerfortransformationalcoaching.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thedeepcoachInstagram: https://instagram.com/thedeepcoach➡️ Download our Free Guide:  "How to Make a Living as a Transformational Coach" 💡 Please subscribe to get updates on the latest episodes.
