Host: Julie Williams MSc- Executive Coach & Founder of Lighting Fires Guest: Katie Denyer- Executive Coach, Supervisor and Tutor at Henley Business School

In this bonus episode of The Lighting Fires Podcast, supported by Henley Business School, Julie is joined by Katie Denyer. Katie is also an executive coach, a supervisor, and a tutor on the Professional Certificate in Executive Coaching at Henley Business School.

Together, they explore what coaching really looks like in practice, unpacking some of the most common themes that have come up across the series so far.

From identity and confidence to limiting beliefs and career change, this episode offers a deeper insight into how coaching helps people better understand themselves and move forward with clarity.

Julie and Katie discuss:

  • How our identity evolves over time, and why it's more flexible than we think

  • The impact of limiting beliefs and where they often originate

  • Practical techniques to build confidence and feel more grounded in challenging situations

  • The connection between mind and body, and how this shows up in our work and lives

  • How to approach career change and make decisions that feel more aligned

This conversation offers a behind-the-scenes look at the coaching process, with practical ideas and reflections you can apply to your own life.
