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?

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?

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 Jennifer's unique approach focuses on shifting from outdated bullying models to brain-informed frameworks, reshaping how we understand and address bullying in both sporting and organizational settings.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.

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."

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 <insert however you make your living>!" 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.

Welcome to The Coaching Podcast, where we take a look into the minds of exceptional individuals who bring peak performance strategies into the sports arena and business world. Today, we're honored to host Carlos Salum, a coach of peak performance and mental training. With a remarkable career coaching Grand Slam tennis champions, Formula Racing drivers, Olympians, and business leaders, Carlos embodies the essence of the breakthrough mindset. In his book, "The Glass is Full and a Half," Carlos unveils the secrets behind peak performance, emphasizing curiosity, vision, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. Join us as we explore Carlos's journey, from igniting curiosity to fostering trust and achieving extraordinary results, and discover how his disruptive ideas are shaping the future of coaching. Check out the key moments below; 1.04: Do you prefer to sing or dance? 1.35: What makes you great?  Curiosity (that's the entry point), passion for understanding (secret story of the evolution), and what's your aspiration (in service of what)? 2.52: What's the secret sauce in your origin story?  5.29: The trigger question: WHY NOT? Is there another way? This will ignite your curiosity! 7.31: Flow state mindset when working with racing car drivers. Tennis reaction time is 0.5 seconds, in comparison to racing car drivers' who must react within 0.2 seconds. 12.01: Can business people access flow state? Yes, because when you take the speed away, the pressure remains and people respond to pressure in the following ways: 1) Walk away 2) Get angry 3) Blame circumstances or other people (trying to protect our self-esteem) 4) Choke (because we can't see the next step) Or 5) You can take the risk because you consider yourself a learner (love the challenge) 13.48: Do you believe in mental rehearsal? Yes, it's essential because: "You win before you win. You are going to be the best under pressure." "I don't need to believe, I have experience." 15.53: What makes a great coach? (WMAGC) Discernment - diagnosis to help Vision - alignment and compelling Leadership - infuse positive emotion so that they trust the journey 18.15: My definition of Trust among individuals and in Teams is as follows:Trust = Co3Re3Trust is Co3Re3 = [Communication x Cooperation x Commitment] x [Reciprocity x Results x Rewards].  Trust evolves from one element to the other: Communication leads to Cooperation, which leads to Commitment… Reciprocity (trust but verify, keeping it fair) leads to Results and Rewards. The impact is exponential (to the cube). The alignment of these Co3Re3 factors makes Trust in Teams exponentially powerful. It allows people to create common languages that IGNITES high positive energy and pride to attain meaningful achievements.  21.07: Book: The Glass is Full and a Half - A Memoir of Transformation by Carlos Salum "We cannot be creative if we don't allow ourselves permission to play!" (Especially in humor) A peak performer is a flexible, versatile, creative, resilient, and situational thinker who designs extraordinary results.  27.56: In the ever-evolving coaching landscape, what disruptive idea do you have that will disrupt the way we coach in 2030?

Welcome to The Coaching Podcast. In today's episode, we have the privilege of hosting David Wheadon, a renowned coach whose insights redefine the essence of coaching. With a career spanning decades, David's wisdom illuminates the intricate fusion of empathy, teaching, and people management that defines effective coaching. From unraveling the art of empathy to navigating the delicate balance between science and art in coaching, David's perspectives offer invaluable lessons for coaches at every level.  Here is a summary of the key points; 1.20: Cats or dogs? 1.46: Coaching = People Management + Teaching Teaching is the act of making learning happen If you are going to be a teacher, you have to be a good people manager. At the base of this is EMPATHY - understanding the perspective of the other person. You have to know what motivates someone - what 'bait' do they want? 4.10: How can a coach improve in the art of empathy? Ask questions and listen to the answers (stop talking)! What's behind what they are saying is often the truth.  7.06: What do you mean by the art and science of coaching? "I believe that coaching is an art based on a science." The artist coaches last longer in sports as long as they surround themselves with scientists. 9.46: Skill Acquisition - all open skills require you to teach decision-making first, technique second (but not secondary), because the best players are often the 'smartest' (they are in the right place at the right time). Make sure you expose players to different ways of solving problems. 13.07: The Yips: Any sport/skill where there is time to think about failure is difficult. 15.42: Coaching Philosophy = The beliefs and principles on which your decisions and actions are based! Having a well-developed coaching philosophy (that evolves over time) will help you during times of uncertainty. 16.54: Once you choose a philosophy, have a mentor take the opposite view to challenge you on what you believe to be true. "Players 'feel', coaches 'see'. Therefore, teach your players to teach other players what they know (focus on their strengths - the fastest way to improve their self-esteem).  They started coaching during the matches.19.30: What are the benefits of peer coaching? 23.00: Top 3 tips: 1) Learn how to teach (get a qualification if you can). Teach through pearls of wisdom. Players learn through doing. 2) Learn how to teach skills. There are four ways that teaching can occur: 1) Coach to Player 2) Player to Player 3) Player to Coach 4) Player alone 3) Practice your people management - learn how to build relationships with your players. 24.58: The Next Coach Program - There is not one way to coach but think about how you are going to coach. It's based on principles, not methods.  28.25: In the ever-evolving coaching landscape what disruptive idea do you have that will disrupt the way that we coach in 2030? It's evolving to teaching through play! Good training is really ugly! How can we teach better than what we already know? In 2030, we will have really good goal-kicking coaches. 31.20: What makes a great coach? (WMAGC) Empathy  Teaching People Management  32.27: A mentor tells you things that you don't want to hear. A mentor is someone you respect.  Someone you believe in and who is on your side.

Welcome to The Coaching Podcast, where we dive deep into the world of coaching to uncover insights, strategies, and stories that can transform lives. In this episode, we're joined by Bea Kim, an executive and life coach with a wealth of experience in supporting individuals and organizations on their journey toward fulfillment and success.

Are you living a life of purpose and greater service? 2.44: What kind of challenges are your clients experiencing that would lead them to need coaching? Looking for some kind of change. To be a better leader. 4.24: Values - Discovering personal, career, and family values helps us to prioritize what’s important. Start with your career values and draw a line with your non-negotiables values. 6.57: Are people bringing all of their problems to work? "No." Bring more of yourself with agency and choice into the workplace to feel more fulfilled.  9.13: What are the two levels of blockers, internal (the saboteurs) and external factors (e.g. financial, job market) that need to be addressed to unlock your personal and professional growth?   Recommend: Positive intelligence link: https://www.positiveintelligence.com/saboteurs/ 11.42: Do you believe that the mind and body are intrinsically connected?  E.g. "I feel really scared." Firstly, SLOW DOWN the coaching and then ask, "Where do you feel this in your body?" What is the thought process (name it) - what is the thought track of being "stuck"? When you do this, you have more control to make a change. A physical change (movement) will bring in a new perspective. 15.08: What makes a great coach? (WMAGC) Curiosity – Let's get to the root cause (let go of your assumptions). Presence – We cannot bring our clients any further than where we have gone ourselves.
