COACH - The Professional Coaching Podcast

Welcome to the latest COACH podcast with Trauma  Specialist, Hypnotherapist and Coach, Ali Smith. 

She joined me to debunk some of the myths surrounding the topic of trauma and why it's so important to be aware around trauma when working with clients and to understand and process your own trauma. 

Ali has spent many years on a mission to change her client's definition and perception of trauma. Her own story of surviving a terrorist attack has enabled her to really hold space and compassion for others. 

Ali uses a trauma informed approach and a polyvagal theory approach to help entrepreneurs create healthy relationships and massive success in their businesses by understanding reframing the dysfunctional patterns created by stress and trauma. 

In this episode we talk about how trauma can show up and where and what PTSD is and what certain stigmas still remain. We also ask the question around trauma and what it means and why people may think they have never 'had' any trauma. 

But trauma is about the internal process that occurs which affects and triggers how your nervous system responds. Being able to emotionally regulate is a powerful way to overcome and manage trauma. 

As a trauma specialist, trainer and inspirational speaker, Ali provides education to coaches, business leaders and organisations on this hugely misunderstood subject.

Anne Whitehouse, PhD FRSA, is a leading expert in Female Power, success healer, and best-selling author  of ‘PULL BACK YOUR POWER’. 

A former metallurgical engineer, the strain of succeeding in that 'boys' club' world caused her to spiral into a spectacular burnout 25 years ago,  pattern experienced by many high-flying women. 

In this epsiode Teresa explores the reasons behind this and Anne explains how women can take truly back and reclaim their power for feminine success. 

Dr Anne has spent two decades unravelling the hidden power dynamic that still undermines women in the world - and has developed a unique solution.  Her work integrates the worlds of scientific analysis, subconscious reprogramming and subtle energies.  A thought-leader and change-maker, she frees people from the deep-seated roots that cause our visibility fears, the low confidence, imposter syndrome and holding back instead of shining.  

Her ground-breaking techniques put you in control of the power.  You feel genuinely safe, and it becomes automatic to speak up, hold authority, sail through limits, flourish in the spotlight and make a bigger impact than you ever thought possible.  Aggressive toxic situations become 'water off a duck's back'.  It becomes safe to shine and be seen as powerful, instead of censuring yourself to fit into the expectations of others.  Anne has helped hundreds of women, worldwide, to literally fall in love with the limelight - helping them step into more success, more visibility and more impact, without the stress!  

AND she is currently writing the book for MEN  "RE-POWER - the secret of male success and wellbeing in the 21st century"

I'm delighted to introduce the first podcast of 2022, with my guest, the award-winning  entrepreneur,  Online Business Mentor, Certified Mindset Coach and Energy Practitioner Gemma Went. 

We delve into Gemma's thoughts on integrity and ethics within the coaching industry and the importance of honesty in our messaging and delivering on our promises as coaches.

She has a unique mix of business-smarts, psychological-insight, mindset coaching skills, energy editing knowledge, digital-mastery and intuition so has all the important stuff covered.

Gemma has earned her stripes over 20 years of business success and she delivers tried, tested and true. 

She has always been vocal about the industry and, as an introvert, how does she experience this noisy industry?

"My mission is to activate thousands of women and help them create a wildly successful business as I empower them to 'Be The Lighthouse™' they were destined to be."

We talk about the direction her business has taken and why she believes the best kind of coaching combines the conscious and subconscious and how she has stepped into her own spiritual path more. 

Gemma is known for many things: Business Coach, Online Business Mentor, Growth Strategist, Mindset Coach, Energy Practitioner to name a few - but what she truly is, is a master of the online business world.

This year, she founded the Lighthouse Business Academy, which helps service-based business owners turn their big ideas into reality through accredited, results-focused training and programs.

Teresa is joined by Raghav Parkash for a conversation about new leadership.
 
How do leaders inspire the people around them and how can we all lead well?

We talk about the passion, skills and desire that creates impact and be the best for yourself and others.

 What does it take to take the reigns as an entrepreneur to lead and commit to being better. Raghav talks about 'leaders without a title' being in every walk of life.

We talk about the political space and  leadership styles and how we want leaders with humanity that we can resonate with. A culture has been created where there can be a lack of humanity within the political world that can lead to poor decisions and an closed leadership style, not to mention a risk of mental health impact. 

Raghav is passionate about bringing coaching to the political space to break the stigma and to impact all realms of leadership to offer a new route towards a foward thinking culture.

What is the sign of a great decision maker?

How can coaching impact and benefit political leaders?

Could this be the change we need in today's world?

Leadership is all about relating to each others and knowing how to really access yourself before you can access the co-operation and buy in of others.

 Teresa is joined by Jennifer Mckenzie,  The Conscious Living Coach, Spiritual Mentor and  owner of Luna Spirit Wellbeing, a holistic treatment centre and an online coaching practice The Conscious Living Coach which supports people globally.

In this episode she candidly and openly shares her difficult journey to where she is today, the demons she has faced and overcome, how drug and alcohol abuse led her to being homeless and then to attempting to take her own life. When  recovering, she was inspired in a very unusual way to survive, live her life and help others and that's exactly what she's done and it's her determination and soul connection that kept her following the way and now she helps people transform their lives just like she did is the driving force behind her businesses.

Drawing on her own challenging personal journey, Jen works with individuals who are outwardly achieving but have a lingering sense that something is missing. Women who want more out of life but don't know how to get there. Women who give so much of themselves to others but neglect their own needs and have reached burnout.

Jen teaches women how to love and accept themselves fully, make a complete mindset overhaul and learn how to become a spiritual badass - just like her!

Jen has 18yrs experience as a holistic therapist and reiki practitioner in the wellbeing industry and believes in having a holistic approach with all her clients focusing on the whole person to help them get to the deeper root of the issue. Jen is passionate about the mind, body and spiritual connection and specialises in self-sabotage, anxiety, confidence, mindset and transformation, also working as an Anxiety release practitioner, life coach and spiritual mentor.

Why do successful entrepreneurs reach a point of overwhelm and what are the first steps to moving forward?

Kate gives us her insight into why business owners can hit a ceiling and a feeling of exhaustion, even when they're reaching the point of seeing real success. 

How can you manage the overwhelm and being on that brink of growth where you wonder 'Can I really do this?' all the time. 

When you feel frazzled, the constant self talk and 'mind monkeys' rise up, this can be exactly the time to look to grow and expand and let the old stories and the old version of you go.

Self-doubt and sabotage are big players when it's time to uplevel and it doesn't have to stay this way as there is no creativity without vulnerability. This vulnerabilty can cause feelings of exposure that can make you feel exhausted and you might feel like it's falling apart when it's really coming together!

What's the balance between being self-led and needing leadership from others?
How important is it to implement your self-care and use your energy wisely?

All this and more as I discuss and debate with Kate and shine the light for women to move forward and rise up to meet their own dreams. 

Kate Davis is a business leadership mentor, an ICF certified coach, a business architect and change manager with 25 years of experience in mentoring and leading teams.

We talk about the energy of the masculine drivers and how to balance that with the equally powerful feminine energy for success and how Sonya went on realise who she was as a person and she transitoned from corporate to establish a health and fitness brand that led her to where she is now.

True success is not always what you think and Sonya talks about how her definition of success has changed,  how she has changed her view of money and how she sees time as the most valuable asset we have.

He creates life-changing experiences in emotional healing, inner-child work, somatic experiencing, breathwork, masculine embodiment, relationship and communication coaching, men’s development, and leadership mentoring.

In this up front and personal podcast, we dive deep into what stops men from exploring and expressing their emotions and why that can be so hard for them to even start doing this work.

What is the turning point for a man to realise there is deeper work to be done and that his life is not the way he wants?

Chris shares his own journey of discovery and talks about how difficult it is for men to be seen and heard in this way with the deeper constructs of society and expectations.

He also explains that taking control and finding a safe space for this journey is key to the transformation process and being able to really open up and clear the debris to become a new person who is healing and learning but is truthful to their authentic selves.

Chris is the CEO and Facilitator at Training Camp for the Soul and Founder and Facilitator of Embodied Man, Mens Leadership retreats and has 15 years of experience as a coach in health, mindset, leadership, business, and healing, and over 10 years of experience as an entrepreneur, growing and selling two, 7 figure companies.
