Coaching conversations with Carey & Julian Podcast

Listen to Nigel as he shares that he suffered a stroke at work which resulted in taking redundancy from work, and during this time he started to think what he could do, and he realised that he loved working with people to develop them. So he set on the journey to be coming a coach, and started to focus on the transitions people have in life like retirement, which is where a coach can really help bring clarity on the next steps.

Listen to Joanna who shares her story of 30 years as a police officer in the metropolitan police and then switched to create and develop her own training business, focusing on leadership and resilience, although she did feel there was something missing within her offering. And realised this was coaching, so decided to train as a coach to further add to what she was doing, this was not in her original plan. Joanna has a passion for people and helping them succeed.

 

Her story is an inspiring one, where she has taken her police experience of working in complex and challenging environments, and so understands the pressures and demands on leaders, organisations and individuals, and uses this experience to draw upon in her coaching and training.

Listen to Esmee who shares how her family circumstance meant that she became an advocate for change which resulted in working as a campaigner for a number of national and international organisations. Knowing that campaigners can have a lot of energy for the external factors they are trying to influence, she realised from her experience that they needed support internally as well.

So in 2018 Esmee transitioned into coaching, and trained as a professional life coach which enables her to work with individuals especially those as 'change makers' on a 1-2-1 basis to take the time to learn about their selves and understand what they need to show up as their authentic self and to remove the barriers which stop them performing at their best.

Listen to Paul who shares his story from a background in publishing, where he talks on how he has had a coaching  approach within all his leadership positions throughout his career, although he didn't realise this. And it was a moment (not a midlife crisis) where he decided to reflect and look up from the desk, and being inspired by the book The Restless Executive by Jo Simpson - which started the journey of cementing him becoming a coach. So Paul pursued training through the ILM, and now coaches leaders in a holistic way.

Listen to Teresa who shares her story how on reflection saw the signals to why she became a coach. One of them was that she always wanted to go first in any situation whether school or sport or work, now she is competitive but it came from a deeper level. She explains that she didn't like to have other people's examples as a deterrent from what she would try to do. She would like to go and get that immediate feedback from the teacher, the coach, the parent, the whomever was the one in charge of whatever they were doing and that theme has followed her entire life. This is really insightful and shows her deep level of self-awareness, such an important aspect of being a coach. 

 

She builds Emotionally Intelligent Organisations because she is an advocate for emotionally intelligent leadership that paves the way for organisations that are human first, human centered, human focused. ​It is only when we can manage the whole of our humanity that we can tap into the excellence that exists within each of us.

Listen to Ayesha tell her story of how she decided to take an opportunity to go from a marketing career to a executive coach and in fact her passion all her life was with helping people unlock their potential anyway.

She has a passion for working parents, those trying to be the best they can be at work and home, but feeling like they never get the balance right? Her story is that she felt like that for years, and still does as I don't think parental guilt ever goes away! I had a successful career, but was always spinning plates, and smashing a few along the way. I believed I couldn't take a leap of faith and try something different in case I failed. Then I decided to roll my sleeves up, face up to those fears and push aside the beliefs that were holding me back. Yes, it was scary, but I can now proudly say that I was true to myself, true to my passions, and I'm more fulfilled and happy as a result.
