    #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.

    #81: George Warren – The Coaching Industry is Ignoring Reality
    Oct 17 2024
    George Warren describes “growth through discomfort” as a key theme in his life and in this episode of The Coach’s Journey Podcast, he lays down a challenge to the coaching industry to step out of its comfort zone and explore questions that might challenge the very foundations of our work.While many of us place the principles of being client-led and non-directive at the centre of our practice, George views coaching through a lens of universal interconnectedness where there is always more than one voice to consider.Drawing upon Gestalt psychology, Eastern mysticism and his experiences as a solo traveller in the Middle East, George’s work highlights the unique role coaching can play in finding answers to some of society’s most pressing questions, from global conflicts to the loneliness epidemic.In this conversation with host Neil Mackinnon, George describes how his innate emotional sensitivity became a “nuclear reactor”, fuelling him along a path from the world of luxury travel sales to the cultivation of a deeper connection with the environment through coaching.In this episode, George and Neil also talk about:The complimentary tools of support and challengeWhy George believes coaches do not need a nicheHow supervision can become “an amphitheatre of profound learning”The “beautiful gift” of ignorance when working with new clientsGeorge ends this episode by placing coaching at a fascinating crossroads, describing contrasting futures that might lie ahead depending on the choices we all make in the coming years.- Coaching for Performance by Sir John Whitmore -https://www.performanceconsultants.com/resources/coaching-for-performance-book/- The GROW Model - https://www.performanceconsultants.com/resources/the-grow-model/- Animas - https://www.animascoaching.com/- Anita Rolls (https://careerintelligenceacademy.com/about-us/) and Karen Smart (https://www.aoec.com/author-page/karen-smart-author/) at AOEC- AoEC https://www.aoec.com/- ILM https://www.i-l-m.com/ICF https://coachingfederation.org/- AC https://www.associationforcoaching.com/- EMCC https://emccuk.org/Public/default.aspx- The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van derKolk https://www.besselvanderkolk.com/resources/the-body-keeps-the-score- AOCS https://www.linkedin.com/company/aocs-association-of-coaching-supervisors/- Myles Downey on The Coach's Journey Podcast https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/69-myles-downey-what-is-effective-coaching-performance-coaching-when-to-be-directive-changing-clients-maps-of-reality-and-more- Ian McGilchrist https://channelmcgilchrist.com/- The Edge of Coaching https://edgeofcoaching.substack.com/- George Warren Coaching https://www.georgewarrencoaching.com/- BACP Article https://www.bacp.co.uk/bacp-journals/coaching-today/january-2024/where-is-the-humanity/- Coaching in the Climate Crisis, Association forCoaching https://www.associationforcoaching.com/page/CITCC_podcast_series- CCA climate coaching - This this might be the AoEC Certificate in Climate Coaching https://www.aoec.com/programmes/certificate-climate-coaching/- Hetty Einzig https://hettyeinzig.co.uk/
