    Method Acting Your Future Self: Travia Steward's BECOME Framework for Leaders

    In this episode of The Coaching Edge Podcast, Erwin de Grave and Dr. Steve Jeffs sit down with former theatre educator turned executive coach Travia Steward. After 24 years teaching high school theatre—and a life-redefining cancer diagnosis—Travia discovered coaching as the arena where her passions for performance, psychology, and personal transformation converge. Drawing on the craft of method acting, she shows clients how to embody their future selves now—closing the gap between aspiration and action. Travia unpacks her BECOME framework: start with your Baseline (the operating system you’re running), Embody the identity you’re aiming for (artifacts, posture, environment), Clarify values and vision, Own your power (stop handing your “thermostat” to others), practice the Method daily (on-stage reps in real life), and Execute consistently to make identity-backed habits stick. Along the way, she introduces vivid metaphors—your invisible “soundtrack” and the overstuffed “suitcase” of old meanings—to help leaders rewrite unhelpful scripts, show up with presence, and turn values into behavior. Whether you’re pursuing a promotion, leading teams, or rebuilding confidence, Travia’s message is simple and empowering: identity before outcome—become the person who creates the result.

    Eric Maisel on Rekindling Creative Love: Daily Practice, Praise, and Permission to Err

    In this episode of The Coaching Edge Podcast, co-hosts Dr. Steve Jeffs and Erwin de Grave sit down with prolific author and creativity coach Eric Maisel to explore what really powers a creative life. From his winding path—writer, psychotherapist, and pioneer of creativity coaching—to launching a new international association for creative and performing artists, Maisel shares candid, practical wisdom. Key themes include: Creativity vs. Innovation: Innovation is a subset; creativity is the broader human drive to make meaning.The Emotional Landscape: Why exposure, criticism, and questions of “does this matter?” make creative work so vulnerable—and vital.Daily Practice as the Antidote: The simplest, most reliable protection against months (or years) of not creating.Rekindling Love: Return to the five- or six-year-old self who fell in love with story, image, and music—on purpose.Praise and Feedback: “I liked it” doesn’t land. Artists need generous, specific “I loved…” affirmation plus kind, sparing critique.Post-Performance Recovery: How adrenaline spikes can fuel addictive patterns, and why creatives need recovery-style rituals after “showtime.”Ceremonial Bridges: Shift from the “get it right” daily mind into the “permission to err” creative mind with a repeatable micro-ritual.Meaning Left (Not Meaningless): Activities in service of meaning won’t feel meaningful every day—and that’s okay.

    How Storytelling Transforms Coaching and Business with Lisa Bloom

    In this episode of The Coaching Edge Podcast, hosts Dr. Steve Jeffs and Erwin de Grave welcome Lisa Bloom, founder of Story Coach and author of The Story Advantage. Lisa shares her journey from learning and development into coaching, initially skeptical but later deeply inspired by the transformative impact of coaching and storytelling, Lisa reveals how stories shape our identities, influence our choices, and often keep us trapped in limiting beliefs. She explains how reframing these stories can unlock growth and possibility—whether in personal transformation, professional coaching, or business development. Beyond helping clients shift perspective, Lisa emphasizes that coaches and business leaders themselves need compelling stories to connect with audiences, attract clients, and authentically communicate their value. From practical techniques on weaving stories into coaching conversations, to handling stage fright and discovering the “gift” of storytelling, Lisa provides powerful insights for anyone looking to deepen their impact. The conversation highlights storytelling not as self-indulgence, but as a meaningful gift for the listener—helping them see new possibilities for their own lives. Whether you’re a coach, leader, or entrepreneur, this episode shows why stories matter, how to use them wisely, and how reframing the stories we tell can transform not only our coaching, but our lives.
