    #86: How to Manage Your Finances as a Coach (TCJ Short with Sarah Fox)
    Nov 28 2024

    In this TCJ Short, an excerpt from Episode #53, you can hear Sarah Fox and Robbie outlining powerful and simple ways for a coach (and any freelancer or self-employed person) to take control of their finances and manage them more skilfully: both for now, and for the future.

    In particular, they talk about:

    Separating priceless you from the business and work you do so you can get clear on your numbers.

    The practical change that Robbie made that transformed both how well his finances are organised and how he felt about it.

    How these changes affect how we feel about investing in our business.

    Why a rainy day account is VERY important for coaches.

    The insight that stopped Robbie procrastinating and finally made him take control of his finances.

    And all in just a few minutes!

  • #84: Gary Buxton MBE – Get in There, Give It a Go and Find Your Own Coaching Style

    #84: Gary Buxton MBE – Get in There, Give It a Go and Find Your Own Coaching Style
    Nov 7 2024

    Gary Buxton admits he spends his life stuck in rabbitholes. As a psychologist and executive coach, he loves nothing more than to geek out about the evidence base for coaching, ensuring his own practice is built on the latest science.

    While Gary is a firm believer that coaching is always a process and never a destination, in this episode of The Coach’s Journey Podcast he warns against the pitfalls of being overwhelmed by study, reminding us that it is through practice that we cultivate and nurture our own unique coaching stance.

    Gary’s own journey has encompassed work as a director, CEO and head hunter in the private sector, as well as helping people back into work in the social impact sector, honing his coaching skills in diverse, challenging settings.

    Awarded an MBE in 2014 for Services to the Young People of England, Gary now trains new coaches on the Barefoot Coaching postgraduate programme, He is a qualified coach mentor and coach supervisor with ICF, and is on his way to becoming a chartered coaching psychologist with the British Psychological Society.

    In conversation with host Ruth Saville, Gary explores a vibrant array of concepts from psychology and coaching that centre around creating balance in our lives and having our value reflected in our work.

    In this episode, Gary and host Ruth Saville also talk about:

    · The benefits of keeping a third of your time free for play

    · How to nurture your task-positive and default mode networks

    · What psychologists have to teach coaches...and vice versa!

    · How to turn your friends into your marketing department

    Gary also speaks about how to hold onto the value of your work in a coaching landscape filling up with new tools, technology and solutions, and how to put enough of yourself out into the world to allow people to choose you.
