The Coaching Crowd® Podcast with Jo Wheatley & Zoe Hawkins
Have you ever wondered whether coaching is something you do or something you are ? In this episode, we dive into a powerful identity-based question that often emerges when people consider a future in coaching: is coaching fundamentally a skillset, or is it an expression of who we are at our core? We explore how coaching can be seen as an external activity, a profession where we learn models, techniques and structures to support people with their goals. Coaching becomes the thing we do to make a living, with our craft built through continuous learning and development. At the same time, coaching can also be deeply rooted in how we naturally move through the world. When curiosity, deep listening and a desire to understand others feel instinctive, coaching may feel like an extension of our identity rather than a role to step into. We reflect on our own journey, where coaching felt like who we were before it became what we did. We share that, learning the skills came first, which then enabled us to identity as a coach to grow. We've seen so many coaches discover coaching in both directions, and neither path is more valid or successful than the other. We also discuss the reality that coaching evolves over time. As our coaching maturity develops, our presence deepens. The identity a coach holds today will not be the same identity they hold in ten years. Coaching can grow with us as our practice and confidence expand. And crucially, coaches are human beings first. There can be pressure when we over-identify with the coach role. We talk openly about releasing the expectation to embody our coach persona in every moment of life, especially when parenting, navigating stress, or juggling the many facets of running a business. This episode is an invitation to reflect, stretch your thinking, and recognise that both identity and action shape what it means to coach. You don't need a definitive answer. Sometimes the power lies in the exploration itself. Timestamps: 00:00 – Why we're asking: is coaching who you are or what you do? 00:53 – Defining coaching as a skillset and profession 02:24 – Coaching as identity and a way of being 03:46 – How coaches find their path into coaching 05:12 – Innate qualities vs trained skills 07:03 – Coaching styles, diversity and inclusivity 09:16 – Presence and how it shapes our experience of coaching 10:11 – Over-identifying with the coach identity 12:26 – The energy and consciousness behind coaching 15:21 – Who gets to define what coaching is? 17:16 – Evolution of coaching practice and competencies 18:41 – Final reflections and invitation to explore coaching further Key Lessons Learned: Coaching can be both a role we perform and a core part of who we are Skill development and personal identity evolve together in coaching practice No single pathway into coaching is more valid than another Over-identification with being a coach can limit our humanity Coaching continues to change and modernise as the profession matures Presence requires energy, awareness and skill, it is not a constant state The freedom to define your style is one of the greatest strengths of coaching Keywords: coaching identity, coaching skills, what is coaching, coaching profession, coach development, becoming a coach, coaching mindset, deep listening, coaching journey, coaching presence, Links & Resources: igcompany.com/ilmcall igcompany.com…
Have you ever felt drawn to help others navigate the unique challenges and strengths that come with ADHD, yet wondered what it truly takes to call yourself an ADHD coach? In this episode, we explore one of the questions we're asked most often; How to become an ADHD coach. As more people receive ADHD diagnoses, many coaches are curious about how they can ethically and effectively support this community. Through our discussion, we share insights from our experience as accredited training providers and as coaches who work extensively in the neurodivergent space. We begin by unpacking the difference between being a coach who works with clients who have ADHD and being an ADHD specialist coach. That distinction matters, because it shapes how you present yourself in the market and the depth of knowledge you need to support clients responsibly. We discuss why true ADHD coaching requires more than a quick online certificate. Coaching neurodivergent clients demands strong foundational coaching skills and a deep understanding of neurodivergence, trauma, and inclusivity. Ethical practice starts with accreditation, understanding professional standards, codes of conduct, and trauma-informed approaches. We also reflect on the importance of seeing clients as whole people, not as a label or diagnosis. While ADHD may influence how someone experiences the world, it doesn't define them. In every coaching conversation, we meet individuals with careers, relationships, goals, and emotions that extend far beyond their diagnosis. A powerful part of our conversation focuses on lived experience. Many aspiring ADHD coaches are themselves neurodivergent, which brings empathy and connection, but it can also blur professional boundaries. We explore how to honour that lived experience without projecting it onto clients and how supervision and reflective practice protect both coach and client. As we close, we talk about the routes available for coaches who want to deepen their expertise, from our Level 7 Coaching Qualification to our Neurodivergent Inclusive Coaching Essentials and full Neurodivergent Inclusive Coaching Programme. Whether you're starting your coaching journey or looking to specialise, this episode offers a grounded view of what ethical, inclusive ADHD coaching looks like in practice. Timestamps: 00:48 – The difference between an ADHD coach and a coach working with ADHD clients 02:35 – Understanding co-occurring conditions and the importance of inclusivity 04:29 – Why short ADHD coach training courses can be misleading 05:47 – Seeing the whole person, not just the diagnosis 09:55 – Accreditation, CPD and what ethical practice looks like 12:02 – The role of lived experience in building trust and navigating boundaries 14:20 – How neurodivergence changes the way we interpret client behaviour 15:34 – Recognising gaps in your knowledge and choosing the right training 16:59 – Celebrating the growing demand for inclusive coaching Key Lessons Learned: Ethical ADHD coaching begins with strong, accredited foundational coaching skills. ADHD rarely exists in isolation; understanding co-occurring conditions is vital. Lived experience can build trust, but reflection and supervision protect the coaching relationship. Trauma-informed and inclusive practice are essential for supporting neurodivergent clients. True specialism requires depth, time, and commitment, not a quick online course. Clients want coaches who understand their individuality, not their label. Accreditation demonstrates professionalism and builds client confidence. Continuous professional development ensures you evolve with the growing field of neurodiversity. Inclusive language and awareness create safer, more empowering coaching spaces. The future of coaching lies in understanding and celebrating neurodiversity, not reducing it to a niche.

The Coaching Crowd® Podcast with Jo Wheatley & Zoe Hawkins
Have you ever wondered how people manage to train as a coach while juggling a full-time job, family, and everything else life throws their way? In this episode, we explore one of the most common questions we hear: How can I train as a coach when I already work full time? We know from experience that most people who come to train with us are balancing busy lives, full-time jobs, caring responsibilities, and personal commitments. And yet, many find that their coaching qualification becomes the highlight of their week, a time to step into a space that's entirely for them. We talk about the practicalities, mindset, and support systems that make this possible. From flexible formats and payment options to honest conversations with employers, we share the approaches that have helped hundreds of learners succeed in training while working full time. We discuss the range of formats available, including evening, morning, weekend, and self-guided options, and how learners find creative ways to integrate their studies into their lives. Whether it's fitting in lessons during lunch breaks, listening to content while walking the dog, or negotiating time off work, there are countless routes to make it work. Beyond logistics, we explore the mindset that makes the biggest difference. Training to be a coach isn't only a professional investment, it's a personal one. The moment you shift from asking "Am I ready?" to "How can I make this work?", everything changes. We share personal stories from our own coaching journeys, from completing qualifications with young children to navigating demanding roles, and the lessons that shaped how we now support others through this process. We also talk about the value of employer sponsorship and how organisations increasingly recognise coaching as a way to develop culture, leadership and connection within teams. Many of our learners find that their organisations not only support them financially but also benefit from the ripple effects of their growth. By the end of this episode, you'll come away with practical tools, encouragement and the reassurance that training to be a coach while working full time isn't only possible, it could be one of the most transformative decisions you ever make. Timestamps: 00:01 – Why most trainee coaches balance learning with full-time work 00:57 – How life commitments coexist with coaching study 02:21 – Flexible learning formats that fit around your schedule 03:51 – Managing missed sessions and staying on track 04:17 – Payment options and accessibility 05:17 – Choosing the format that fits your energy and lifestyle 06:34 – Employer support and building a business case for funding 09:24 – The mindset shift that helps you commit and thrive 10:52 – Making coaching a personal priority 12:20 – Understanding the true time commitment 13:15 – Practising through triads and structured peer learning 14:44 – Why investing in coaching changes everything 15:37 – Finding time by changing perspective and routine 16:30 – Adapting your learning style for flexibility 17:00 – How to make your environment support your goal 18:51 – Role modelling lifelong learning for others 19:17 – Turning intention into reality and taking the next step Key Lessons Learned: It's entirely possible to train as a coach while working full time with the right mindset and structure. Flexibility in format and timing means coaching qualifications can fit around real life. Shifting your question from "Is it the right time?" to "How can I make it work?" changes everything. Employer sponsorship can create win–win outcome, for your growth and your organisation's culture. Treating your coaching training as an act of self-investment fuels motivation and resilience. Clear time planning and communication at home and work are essential for success. Every learner's journey is unique, there's no single "perfect" way to do it. Training as a coach while working builds powerful habits of reflection and self-leadership. The return on investment goes far beyond career progression, it transforms how you think, feel and connect. Starting now often becomes the most impactful decision for your future self.

Have you ever felt like your emotions are running the show, as though you're at the mercy of how you feel rather than in control of it? In this episode, we explore one of the most liberating principles in emotional coaching, the idea that: You can choose your emotions. It might sound idealistic at first, yet through our conversation we unpack what it truly means to take ownership of your emotional world and experience greater freedom within it. As we close our six-part Emotions Coaching series, we dive deep into how this principle nurtures confidence, emotional resilience, and wellbeing. We talk about the belief that while we can't always choose our circumstances or the people around us, we can always choose how we respond. This is what we call emotional freedom, being response-able rather than reactive. Throughout the episode, we reflect on how coaching invites people to explore how they want to feel, not only how they currently feel. It's a powerful shift that opens the door to new possibilities and helps align emotions with meaningful action. We discuss the importance of moving from default emotional scripts towards more conscious, choice-driven responses that honour who we are today and who we aspire to become. We also share how this principle comes alive in real coaching sessions: how a gentle "What if you could choose how you feel right now?" can help clients open up new emotional landscapes, and why validating current emotions before introducing this idea is crucial. From building self-leadership to navigating the tension between responsibility and blame, this episode encourages listeners to experiment with emotional choice in their daily lives. We even share a light-hearted story about how this plays out in our own relationships, proof that emotional awareness doesn't mean perfection, but presence, curiosity, and compassion. Choosing your emotions is about living life by design. When you step into the belief that emotional choice is possible, you begin shaping a life led by intention, not reaction. Timestamps: 00:27 – Why emotional choice nurtures confidence and wellbeing 01:25 – Understanding emotional freedom and being "response-able" 02:18 – Coaching conversations that invite emotional choice 03:44 – Breaking free from default emotional scripts 05:10 – Aligning emotions and action in coaching 06:03 – The power of "What if you could choose how you feel right now?" 07:28 – Recognising emotional discounting in clients 09:45 – Emotional choice as part of everyday self-leadership 11:11 – Designing your emotional experience 13:02 – How to introduce emotional choice safely in coaching 15:12 – Projection, resistance, and emotional responsibility 17:51 – Balancing ownership with compassion 18:48 – Emotional choice as liberation and empowerment 19:17 – How to learn more through our accredited programmes Key Lessons Learned: Emotional choice begins with awareness, recognising you can shift how you feel opens the door to freedom. Coaching creates a unique space where people can explore how they want to feel, not only how they currently feel. Emotional freedom means moving from reaction to response, from script to self-leadership. Taking ownership of your emotions enhances confidence and wellbeing, especially when life feels uncertain. Introducing emotional choice requires sensitivity, timing and compassion are key to helping clients embrace it. Living by emotional design means choosing alignment between feeling, thinking, and doing. Responsibility brings freedom; when we own our emotions, we access choice, growth, and empowerment.

The Coaching Crowd® Podcast with Jo Wheatley & Zoe Hawkins
Have you ever noticed how emotions from the past or fears of the future can quietly shape the choices you make today? In this episode, we explore the fifth principle from our Emotions Coaching Practitioner Training that, …emotions are interlinked. We reflect on how emotions move through time, intertwining between past, present and future, and how this shows up in coaching conversations. We discuss how clients can become anchored in the future, unable to act in the present, and how others may carry echoes of past experiences that colour their emotions today. Through our own reflections and client examples, we talk about what happens when a person's emotions are entangled with future outcomes that haven't yet arrived. Zoe shares a personal story about navigating a family decision and the moment she realised that her emotions were not rooted in the present, but in imagined futures. By recognising that, she was able to return to the here and now, where clarity and confidence could emerge. We talk about how, as coaches, our role is not to fix or rescue but to help clients notice and make sense of their emotional experience. This involves recognising when a client is operating from thought rather than feeling and guiding them gently back to contact with their emotions. We explore what happens when clients begin to recognise the difference between what they think and what they feel , and how that awareness opens new insight and direction. Another aspect of this principle is the coexistence of multiple emotions. Clients often describe being both excited and frightened, or relieved and sad, at the same time. These "parts" can represent internal conflicts that, when explored with compassion, bring valuable understanding. We reflect on how emotions interlink not only with thoughts and actions, but also with the wider world, from relationships and teams to global events that shape how we feel and behave. This principle is a reminder that emotions are rarely isolated. They are threads in a much wider emotional web, and when we as coaches can hold space for that complexity, we enable our clients to connect with the deeper truth of their experience. As we close, we reflect on the power of emotional awareness in coaching. It's what makes coaching transformative. When clients understand how their emotions are interlinked and learn to navigate them consciously, they move forward with greater balance, authenticity and resilience. If you'd like to explore how emotions shape behaviour and learn practical tools to work with emotions in your coaching practice, join us on our Emotions Coaching Practitioner Training at igcompany.com/emotionscoaching . Timestamps: 00:00 – Exploring the fifth principle: emotions are interlinked 00:28 – How emotions connect through time – past, present and future 01:56 – Recognising emotional anchors from the past 03:23 – Unhooking from future emotions to find clarity in the present 04:20 – Personal example of separating imagined emotions from reality 05:14 – Anchoring clients in the here and now 06:38 – Differentiating between thoughts and feelings in coaching conversations 09:29 – Working with emotional "parts" and internal conflict 12:14 – Understanding how personal emotions link with global and systemic emotions 14:12 – Emotional honesty and the value of vulnerability in practitioner training 15:39 – The ripple effect of emotional awareness on coaching impact 16:40 – Coaching as a life-changing process Key Lessons Learned: Emotions are rarely isolated; they are interlinked across time, thought and experience. Helping clients to identify whether emotions stem from the past, present or future builds clarity and focus. Recognising the distinction between thoughts and feelings is a gateway to deeper self-awareness. Exploring "parts" allows clients to acknowledge internal conflict and move towards emotional integration. Coaches must hold space for complex, often conflicting emotions without trying to fix or rescue. Emotional awareness elevates both coach and client, deepening the transformational potential of coaching conversations.

The Coaching Crowd® Podcast with Jo Wheatley & Zoe Hawkins
Have you ever wondered whether the emotions your clients share are the full story or whether there's something deeper waiting to be uncovered? In this week's episode of the podcast we explore one of the most thought-provoking principles in our series: Emotions are not always Authentic. At first, this concept can feel like a puzzle. As coaches, we often take our clients' emotions at face value, believing that frustration, anger, or disappointment are clear and complete emotional truths. Yet, as we discuss in this episode, emotions can be layered and sometimes conceal a more authentic emotional experience beneath the surface. We begin by exploring what happens when a client describes feeling "frustrated" about their lack of progress toward a goal. Through curiosity and emotional exploration, it may become clear that what lies beneath isn't frustration at all; but sadness, grief, or even fear. Recognising this difference can be transformative. As we unpack this principle, we reflect on our own experience of connecting with an authentic emotion. There was a moment when we realised that what we thought we felt was simply a cover for something deeper. When that deeper emotion surfaced, raw and unfiltered, it brought relief, understanding, and healing. We also discuss how coaching with emotions isn't about lingering endlessly in feelings. Rather, it's about clarity and progress. By helping clients access their authentic emotions, we enable them to process their experiences, meet their needs, and move forward with greater confidence. Throughout this conversation, we reflect on: How emotions can mask one another The difference between surface and authentic emotional experiences The role of conditioning in shaping which emotions we allow ourselves to express Why authentic emotional awareness accelerates coaching progress How understanding emotional authenticity helps resolve conflict, both internally and interpersonally This episode is a reminder that coaching is emotional work at its core. As we deepen our awareness of authentic emotion, both our own and our clients', we open the door to greater compassion, insight, and transformational change. Timestamps: 00:00 – Introduction to the six principles series 01:00 – What does it mean for emotions to be "inauthentic"? 02:30 – Exploring client examples and the layers beneath frustration 04:30 – How curiosity reveals the real emotion beneath the surface 05:20 – Personal reflection: recognising authentic emotions in real life 08:45 – Conditioning and the emotions we learn to suppress 10:40 – The difference between primary and secondary emotions 12:00 – Why emotions coaching accelerates progress 14:30 – Conflict and communication from an inauthentic emotional place 16:20 – How understanding emotions transforms coaching conversations 17:00 – Resources for learning more about emotional coaching Key Lessons Learned: Authentic emotions often sit beneath surface-level expressions such as frustration or anger. Helping clients explore their emotional depth leads to clarity, not confusion. Emotional awareness accelerates progress by dissolving unseen barriers. Self-reflection allows coaches to better recognise authentic emotion in others. Social and cultural conditioning shape how we experience and express emotions. Conflict often persists when people communicate from inauthentic emotional places. Recognising authentic emotion helps meet unmet needs and fosters true fulfilment. Emotional coaching isn't "fluffy" it's foundational to effective practice. Exploring emotions supports ethical, person-centred coaching. Curiosity is the key to uncovering authentic emotional truth.

The Coaching Crowd® Podcast with Jo Wheatley & Zoe Hawkins
Have you ever paused to ask yourself what your emotions are really trying to tell you? In this episode, we explore one of the most transformative principles in emotional coaching: the idea that emotions are unmet needs. This concept reshapes how we relate to our inner experiences, moving from seeing emotions as random or inconvenient to viewing them as valuable signposts guiding us toward greater self-understanding and balance. As we reflect on this principle, we're reminded of how often our emotions offer insight into something deeper, such as a need for safety, connection, clarity, or growth. When we shift from judging our emotions to becoming curious about them, we begin to uncover their hidden wisdom. That curiosity is where transformation begins, both for ourselves and for our coaching clients. In our conversation, we explore what happens when we approach emotions not as problems to fix but as messages to interpret. We discuss how naming emotions helps to release their intensity and how exploring the need beneath them invites self-compassion and meaningful action. Sometimes that insight can be profound, and at other times beautifully simple, like realising that nervousness before a meeting might be calling for preparation time or reassurance. This approach creates space for honesty and courage. Many clients have never been asked, "What does that feeling need?" Giving permission to express an unmet need, whether for clarity, respect, or support, can be profoundly healing. When we help clients identify and articulate those needs, we empower them to take small, grounded steps that lead to significant change. We also explore how this principle connects to values, beliefs, and goals, which together form the four core pillars of coaching. Unmet needs often sit at the intersection of values and emotions, revealing what truly matters to each individual. When clients begin to interpret their emotions as meaningful signals rather than irrational responses, their relationship with themselves transforms. They move from feeling controlled by emotions to feeling more in control because of them. Ultimately, this principle is not only a coaching tool but a life skill. By listening to our emotions and recognising what is missing, we nurture emotional intelligence, deepen self-awareness, and create a more compassionate relationship with ourselves and others. Timestamps: 00:28 - Understanding emotions as unmet needs 01:21 - Common examples of emotions signalling deeper needs 02:20 - Using curiosity to step outside the emotional experience 03:19 - How curiosity dissipates emotional intensity 04:33 - The power of expressing unmet needs in coaching 06:00 - Moving from judgment to understanding 07:29 - Bringing lightness and simplicity to emotions work 08:27 - The three steps of emotions coaching in practice 10:21 - Applying the principle to coaching preparation 11:15 - Linking emotions to values, beliefs, and goals 12:44 - Turning emotional awareness into action and growth 13:39 - Helping clients feel more in control of emotions 15:06 - The ripple effect of emotional awareness in coaching practice 16:00 - Learning more through the Emotions Coaching Practitioner programme Key Lessons Learned: Emotions are valuable messages that reveal unmet needs rather than random feelings. Curiosity helps create distance from emotional intensity and opens access to insight. Asking "What does this feeling need?" empowers clients to name and meet their needs. Emotional exploration is both deep and light, transformative yet practical. Linking emotions to values and beliefs creates powerful coaching breakthroughs. Emotional awareness builds self-regulation, confidence, and compassion. Naming emotions and identifying needs enhances client agency and resilience. The principle of unmet needs applies to both coaching and everyday life. Emotional literacy helps shift from reactivity to reflection. This work creates a ripple effect of personal and professional transformation.

The Coaching Crowd® Podcast with Jo Wheatley & Zoe Hawkins
What if the emotions you feel are not who you are? Have you ever caught yourself saying, "I'm not confident" or "I'm an anxious person"? In this episode of the podcast, we explore principle two of our Six Principles of Emotion series: You are not your emotions. So many of us, and our clients, confuse feelings with identity. We slip into patterns of speech where we equate ourselves with an emotion, making it part of who we are. This is where coaching can create powerful transformation. By helping clients separate their sense of self from the emotions they experience, we open the door to growth, choice, and freedom. In this conversation, we reflect on how over-identifying with emotions such as anxiety, fear, or guilt can keep people stuck. We also consider how positive emotions like joy or calm can become limiting when they are tied too tightly to identity. A client might say, "I'm a calm person," yet find themselves disturbed by stress, which creates inner conflict. Through emotions coaching, we can offer new perspectives that allow people to explore who they are beyond these emotional labels. I found myself reflecting on the liberating power of simple shifts in language, from "I am anxious" to "I am feeling anxious right now." That pause changes everything. It reminds us that emotions are designed to move and do not define us. When clients see this, they often regain clarity, confidence, and connection with themselves. This episode is an invitation to lean into conversations around emotions in your coaching. It's about helping clients see they are more than their feelings and guiding them towards new ways of being that support their goals and wellbeing. Timestamps: 00:30 – Why emotions are central to coaching conversations 01:00 – How clients over-identify with emotions 02:20 – Understanding emotions as temporary and designed to move 03:20 – Shifting language: from "I am" to "I feel" 06:00 – Exploring fear and preparing for confidence 08:00 – The liberating effect of separating self from emotion 10:00 – Recognising the emotions gap in coaching 13:00 – Using metaphors and perspectives to unlock insight 15:00 – When positive emotions create internal conflict 17:00 – Spotting identity narratives in coaching conversations 19:00 – Resources and training opportunities Key Lessons Learned: Emotions are experiences, not identity. You are not your emotions. Language matters, small shifts from "I am" to "I feel" can unlock new perspectives. Over-identifying with both negative and positive emotions can create internal conflict. Coaching provides space for clients to separate themselves from their emotional experiences. Emotions coaching is about helping clients explore new perspectives, not telling them what to believe. Emotions are designed to move, getting stuck in them often signals where coaching can help.

The Coaching Crowd® Podcast with Jo Wheatley & Zoe Hawkins
Have you ever caught yourself labelling your emotions as either good or bad, and wondered how that shapes the way you coach or experience life? In this episode of the podcast we begin a six-part series exploring the six principles of emotions coaching, drawn from our Emotions Coaching Practitioner Training. We open with the very first principle: Emotions are neither good nor bad. Too often, we attach labels to our feelings. We might view stress or anxiety as "bad" and chase after happiness as "good." But when we categorise emotions in this way, we miss out on their deeper value. In our conversation, Jo and I share how emotions become defined not by their presence, but by the beliefs we attach to them. Zoe reflects on her own journey of recognising anxiety, an emotion she once denied, and how opening space for it led her to new levels of self-awareness and healthier strategies. We also discuss how coaches can inadvertently get pulled into their clients' "get away from" energy, and how holding space with neutrality invites curiosity, possibility, and transformational growth. Throughout this episode, we show why suspending judgement around emotions is one of the most powerful coaching tools you can bring to your practice. Rather than trying to "fix" a client's feelings, emotions coaching creates the conditions for richer insight, more authentic self-connection, and ultimately, greater transformation. Timestamps: 00:30 – Introducing the six-part emotions coaching series 00:57 – What it means that emotions are neither good nor bad 02:20 – How clients bring emotions into coaching sessions 03:35 – The role of neutrality and curiosity in coaching 06:19 – Zoe's personal experience of recognising anxiety 08:39 – Why emotions carry wisdom and strategies 13:16 – Coaching conversations around anger and fear 16:38 – Boundaries, aggression, and coaching at the root cause 18:40 – Why emotions coaching is not "fluffy" but deeply transformational 21:01 – The power of startling questions in coaching 22:00 – How to develop your own emotions coaching toolkit Key Lessons Learned: Labelling emotions as good or bad prevents us from accessing their full value. Curiosity and neutrality allow clients to explore emotions without fear or resistance. Denying emotions (like anxiety or anger) can cause them to resurface in unhelpful ways. Emotions often carry wisdom, strategies, and insight when welcomed rather than avoided. Coaches add transformational depth by holding space for emotions instead of rushing to "fix" them. Leaders, executives, and clients alike benefit from having permission to explore emotions beyond surface goals.

What is the greatest risk of not developing coaching skills, and how might that decision shape your life and career? In this episode of the podcast, we explore the risks of not training to be a coach. We reflect on the subtle but significant ways coaching skills transform lives, relationships, leadership, wellbeing, and what happens when we don't invest in them. As we explored this theme, we found ourselves thinking back to our own journeys. Had we not stepped into coaching, we know our confidence, resilience, relationships, and even the material aspects of our lives would look entirely different. Coaching has not only deepened our self-awareness but also enabled us to build stronger connections, communicate with impact, and navigate challenges with courage. In this conversation, we highlight 9.5 key risks that come from not being a coach. We talk about self-awareness as the foundation, the importance of emotional intelligence, and how disconnected intuition often leaves leaders overthinking at 4am. We also discuss the impact of coaching on problem-solving, inclusion, resilience, and future leadership in a world shaped by AI and rapid change. One of the most profound reflections for me was realising that without coaching skills, we risk staying the same, missing out on our unrealised potential, stronger relationships, and the ability to influence the world around us. The greatest risk may not be failure but never stepping into what could have been possible. Whether you're considering training to be a coach, or you're curious about the wider benefits coaching can bring, this episode will give you a heartfelt and thought-provoking insight into why coaching matters more than ever. Timestamps: 00:29 – Framing the question: what are the risks of not being a coach? 01:23 – Self-awareness as the foundation of growth 03:16 – Emotional intelligence and relationships 07:32 – Advanced communication skills and listening 08:30 – Reconnecting with intuition 12:09 – The future of work, AI, and the role of coaching 14:24 – Inclusion, belonging, and building cultures that matter 15:22 – Beyond the self: the systemic risks of not coaching 18:11 – Problem-solving, resilience, and wellbeing 22:20 – Coaching as courage, presence, and connection 24:46 – The greatest risk: staying the same Key Lessons Learned: Without self-awareness, we risk limiting both our growth and the quality of our relationships. Emotional intelligence is not optional; it is essential for effective leadership and connection. Coaching develops advanced communication skills that prevent misunderstanding and strengthen trust. Intuition is an undervalued skill, coaching helps us to reconnect with it and reduce overthinking. In a world shaped by AI, coaching and human connection are the differentiators for future leaders. Coaching contributes to inclusive cultures and a genuine sense of belonging. A coaching mindset supports resilience, problem-solving, and wellbeing. Without coaching, we risk playing small, staying in old patterns, and never reaching our potential. The systemic risk is greater disconnection in workplaces and communities without coaching skills.

The Coaching Crowd® Podcast with Jo Wheatley & Zoe Hawkins
Do you really listen to ignite transformation, or are you listening to respond? When we think about our journey as a coach, one of the most powerful realisations has been that listening is not a passive act. It is an intentional, transformational choice that shapes the depth and quality of our conversations. In this episode we revisit listening as a critical coaching skill. Out of more than 200 episodes, we've only devoted 1 to listening before, which shows how easy it is to overlook this essential foundation of coaching. We explore what it means to listen not just with our ears but with our eyes, intuition, body, and presence. We reflect on Nancy Kline's idea that listening well is not about preparing your next response but about igniting something in another person. From the earliest stage of self-focused listening to Otto Scharmer's concept of generative listening, we walk through the levels of listening and share how they show up in coaching and everyday life. We reflect on moments when clients have asked us, "How did you know that?" They hadn't explicitly told us something, but deep listening allowed us to hear what was unspoken. That level of listening is about creating a space where clients can feel deeply seen and heard, sometimes hearing themselves clearly for the first time in a long while. We also challenge the myth that one level of listening is "good" and another "bad". Context matters. For example, neurodivergent clients may experience listening as most supportive when a coach shares something of their own in return. Listening, then, is not linear. It's about attuning to the needs of the individual in front of you. This episode is both practical and reflective. We discuss summarising with the client's own words, listening for emotion as well as content, and noticing the subtle shifts in tone, silence, or energy that can reveal deeper truths. Listening is not just about technique, it is about presence, compassion, and the courage to step aside so the client's voice can emerge. If you've ever wondered what sets coaching apart from everyday conversation, this episode highlights why listening is the art and science at the heart of transformational coaching. Timestamps: 00:50 – Why listening is the foundation of coaching 01:20 – Nancy Kline's perspective: listening to ignite, not to respond 03:11 – Listening with eyes, body, and intuition 05:02 – Helping clients hear themselves clearly 07:25 – Why context matters: different listening styles for different clients 10:40 – The difference between listening in coaching vs everyday conversation 13:28 – Listening beyond words: noticing silence, energy, and emotion 16:20 – The role of presence and unlearning in coaching conversations 19:36 – Giving clients time to find and hear their own voice 21:01 – Practising transformational listening in everyday life Key Lessons Learned: Listening is not about waiting to respond, it is about creating space for transformation. Different levels of listening exist, from self-focused to generative, and each has a place depending on context. Deep listening involves presence, intuition, and attention to both what is said and what is unsaid. Coaching requires unlearning conversational habits such as rushing to fix, summarising for ourselves, or inserting our own agenda. Presence and listening go hand in hand, true transformational listening helps clients reconnect with their own voice.

The Coaching Crowd® Podcast with Jo Wheatley & Zoe Hawkins
Have you ever wondered how much deeper your coaching could go if you paused to reflect in a more intentional way? In this episode of The Coaching Crowd, we explore how reflective practice is the often-overlooked skill that truly elevates coaching. While questioning and listening skills usually get the spotlight, it is reflection that helps us to grow as coaches, find closure with clients, and unlock fresh insight. As we spoke, we found ourselves noticing how reflective practice is both a personal and professional discipline. It is not about criticising yourself for what you missed, but instead about compassionately noticing what you learned, how you showed up, and how you can expand your practice. We share a series of reflective questions that you can use for yourself or with your clients, such as: How am I feeling now? How present and attuned was I during that coaching session? What habits was I using, and what new experiments could I try next time? What biases or assumptions might have shaped how I showed up? Together, we explore the difference between reflecting in practice (while in session) and reflecting on practice (afterwards), and how both can help you become more present, more courageous, and more flexible as a coach. We also talk about how reflective practice can happen in different ways, through journaling, walking, recording your thoughts aloud, or even using creative prompts like music and drawing. One of our personal reflections from this conversation was how important it is to approach reflection with kindness. Growth does not come from berating yourself, but from curiosity and compassion. Reflective practice is a muscle, and with practice, it grows stronger. This episode is full of questions and perspectives that will help you deepen your practice, connect with your clients at a deeper level, and continue your journey of lifelong learning. Timestamps: 00:50 – Why reflective practice matters in coaching 02:12 – Reflecting in practice vs reflecting on practice 03:00 – Using body awareness as a catalyst for reflection 05:21 – Balancing solution-focus with presence 06:47 – The importance of compassion in reflection 08:34 – Exploring habits and courage in coaching 09:52 – The role of client feedback in reflective practice 11:14 – Finding your personal style of reflection 12:36 – Considering bias and self-development 14:25 – Reflection as a muscle to build over time 16:11 – Creative approaches to reflective practice 18:32 – Reflection as an ongoing process rather than quick clarity 19:23 – The role of CPD in deepening reflection 21:19 – Lifelong learning and growth as a coach Key Lessons Learned: Reflective practice is the foundation for deepening your coaching, beyond questioning and listening skills. Compassion and curiosity are essential, reflection should not become self-criticism. Presence, energy, and body awareness are powerful entry points for reflection. Exploring habits, courage, and biases helps coaches to avoid falling into fixed patterns. Creative methods such as drawing, music, or recording can unlock new layers of reflection. Reflection is not about finding instant answers, but about allowing insight to emerge over time. CPD and lifelong learning naturally deepen reflective practice.

Have you ever found yourself torn between who you were before becoming a parent and the new identity that emerges after welcoming a child? In this episode we explore the deeply personal and transformative journey of maternity coaching. Becoming a parent is one of the biggest life transitions anyone can go through. We reflect on our own experience of having children while holding onto a strong ambition for our careers and the inner conflict that came with trying to reconcile those two worlds. We talk about the identity shifts that many parents face, the emotional complexities that can arise during maternity leave, and the challenges of returning to work in environments that may have changed significantly in your absence. Throughout the conversation, we reflect on how valuable maternity coaching would have been for us at that time. Having a confidential space to explore emotions, rebuild confidence, and navigate new responsibilities can be life-changing. We also expand the conversation to include parental coaching more broadly, recognising that transitions affect all caregivers, whether through adoption, shared parenting, or new family dynamics. Coaching can support individuals in building resilience, having courageous conversations with line managers, and re-establishing confidence in their professional and personal identities. This discussion highlighted for me how powerful coaching can be in safeguarding against burnout, improving employee engagement, and strengthening relationships at work. It left me appreciating maternity coaching not only as a personal lifeline but also as an organisational strategy that demonstrates care for people beyond their job role. Timestamps: 00:51 – Why maternity coaching matters 01:21 – Identity conflict after becoming a parent 03:39 – What maternity coaching looks like in practice 05:06 – Emotional and cognitive changes during maternity leave 06:28 – Rebuilding confidence when returning to work 07:48 – Benefits for organisations and leaders 09:13 – Extending to parental coaching more broadly 11:56 – Productivity shifts after becoming a parent 13:21 – Exploring systemic challenges 15:39 – Why maternity coaching signals organisational care 16:35 – Do we need to label it "maternity coaching"? 18:02 – Emotions coaching and life transitions 21:46 – Invitation to learn more through our Emotions Coaching Practitioner Training Key Lessons Learned Identity transformation is one of the most significant challenges during maternity leave. Maternity coaching offers a safe space to explore emotions without judgement. Coaching supports smoother transitions back to work, reducing overwhelm and burnout. Employers benefit through stronger engagement, productivity, and loyalty. Parental coaching is not limited to mothers, it extends to fathers, adoptive parents, and anyone navigating caregiving transitions. Coaching helps differentiate between personal beliefs and systemic realities in the workplace. Productivity often increases when parents return to work due to sharper focus and time management. Emotional coaching skills are essential for supporting clients during major life milestones.

Have you ever wondered how different life could feel if you were able to pause, step back, and coach yourself through challenges as they arise? In this episode we explore the practice of self-coaching, what it really means, how it works in everyday life, and why it is such a powerful tool for personal growth. As coaches, one of the greatest benefits of our training has been learning how to develop our own inner coach. This isn't about striving for perfection or trying to be a "superhuman." Instead, it's about cultivating awareness, curiosity, and reflection in a way that allows us to step out of our experience long enough to gain a fresh perspective. We talk about the cues that signal when it's time to coach ourselves, from moments of emotional intensity to times of great joy when we want to understand how to recreate that feeling. Jo shares how she has learned to notice when she is "in something" fully absorbed in an experience and how to hover above it, reflect, and gently question "what's happening for me"? We explore a wide range of reflective questions that listeners can add to their own self-coaching toolkit, from belief-based and emotional check-in prompts, to deeper existential reflections. We highlight the importance of differentiating between genuine self-coaching and overthinking, and we talk about the need to balance reflection with action. Most of all, this conversation reminded us that self-coaching is about the relationship we choose to build with ourselves. Do we want to give energy to our inner critic, or nurture our inner coach? The quality of the questions we ask ourselves often determines whether we stay stuck or move forward. Whether you are a coach yourself or simply curious about bringing more reflective practice into your life, this episode offers both insight and practical tools to help you grow. Timestamps 00:47 – Why self-coaching matters when resources are limited 01:16 – Reflection and noticing: stepping outside your experience 03:04 – Core coaching elements that underpin self-coaching 04:31 – The myth of needing to self-coach all the time 05:25 – Learning from moments of joy and success 06:21 – Coaching methodologies that support self-reflection 07:46 – Expanding your self-coaching toolkit with powerful questions 09:14 – Emotional check-ins and boundaries 13:50 – Testing possibilities and taking small, safe steps 16:04 – Self-coaching vs overthinking: how to spot the difference 17:25 – Radical personal ownership and accountability 19:20 – Success criteria for effective self-coaching 20:17 – Choosing between your inner critic and your inner coach 21:11 – Our invitation for you to reflect, review, and share Key Lessons Learned Self-coaching is grounded in reflection, presence, and awareness, noticing when you need to step back and explore your experience differently. It is not about being "on" all the time; sometimes the most powerful growth happens when you simply sit in the messiness of life. The quality of the questions you ask yourself matters more than the complexity, simple, courageous questions often lead to the deepest insight. Emotional check-ins, belief exploration, and reflective questioning can help uncover hidden patterns and create space for new choices. Self-coaching requires balance between reflection and action; growth happens when insights are followed by meaningful steps forward. Developing an inner coach strengthens your relationship with yourself and can transform the way you navigate challenges.

Have you ever wished you had a trusted partner by your side in your coaching work, someone who elevates your ideas, shares the load, and helps you grow in ways you could never achieve alone? In this episode of the podcast, we explore the concept of co-coaching. Co-coaching is about more than simply sharing a client group with another professional. It is about building a relationship of trust, alignment, and mutual respect that enhances both the client experience and your own development as a coach. We reflect on our own journey together; how we first met, the values that underpin our partnership, and the ways co-coaching has helped us take bolder steps, hold space for complex group dynamics, and recover quickly when our minds go blank. There is a special kind of magic that happens when you can bounce ideas off someone who gets you, challenges you, and sees possibilities you might miss on your own. We discuss the very real benefits of working alongside another coach, from sharing creative preparation and delivering richer sessions, to having another set of eyes and ears to spot what's happening in the room. We share how co-coaching has supported us in debriefing after intense sessions, navigating moments of uncertainty, and modelling collaborative, respectful working relationships for our clients. There is also a strong business case for co-coaching. You gain access to each other's networks, expand your reach, and benefit from shared opportunities. Beyond that, the joy of celebrating milestones together, and simply having fun, makes the work more fulfilling. Whether you are considering co-coaching for the first time or want to deepen an existing partnership, this episode offers insights into how to choose the right partner, maintain a healthy dynamic, and create experiences that benefit everyone involved. Timestamps: 00:39 – What co-coaching is and why it matters 02:27 – How idea-sharing elevates creativity and confidence 04:19 – Handling unexpected moments with authenticity 05:42 – Modelling collaboration for clients 06:36 – Choosing the right co-coach and aligning values 07:58 – The importance of debriefing after sessions 10:15 – Unique feedback opportunities through co-coaching 11:39 – Building connections and networks without competition 12:34 – The business benefits of shared audiences 13:58 – Celebrating milestones together and sustaining joy 15:50 – The flexibility of working together and independently 16:20 – How to explore co-coaching further through our training Key Lessons Learned: Co-coaching provides a unique platform for creativity, confidence, and mutual support. Alignment in values, goals, and ways of working is essential for a thriving partnership. Having another coach present allows you to see and respond to group dynamics more effectively. A healthy co-coaching relationship models collaboration and flexibility for clients. The debrief process after sessions is crucial for learning, closure, and moving forward. Co-coaching expands your professional network and brings business opportunities. Variety in working styles and personalities benefits clients and broadens learning. Joy, celebration, and camaraderie are powerful motivators for long-term collaboration. Co-coaching can offer emotional resilience by sharing both the highs and the challenges. Strong relationships often start in shared learning environments such as CPD programmes.
