Conversations With Coaches

In today's conversation, we use Glodean's just-released TEDx Talk as our jumping-off point. But instead of discussing the talk itself (which really does speak for itself and you should go watch it right now - Glodean NAILED it), we spend most of our time talking about everything around a talk like this - like the way she's embraced speaking as the most powerful expression of the way she wants to serve her community and the world.

We also dive into subjects like community building and group coaching, as well as the different forms that feedback can take (think post-presentation conversations, view counts on videos, and how challenging it can be to gauge the impact you're having.

We cover a LOT more ground in this wide-ranging chat, so either before or after you've watched her TEDx Talk, make sure to give this a listen. :)

Glodean is a Keynote Speaker, Author, and Transformational Leader who specializes in leadership development, team building and diversity, equity & inclusion (DEI). She’s a Six Sigma Black Belt and draws on her extensive background to transform the lives of her clients. Her life’s purpose is to leave people better than she found them.

To put it as succinctly as possible, Glodean helps organizations empower their people by teaching them how to raise their awareness, own their belonging, and collaborate in a way that creates innovative, influential teams and a culture people love.

As the Great Resignation continues, one industry that is getting hit the hardest is Accounting. Many experienced bookkeepers and CPAs are retiring, and as Alicia points out in our conversation, Accounting isn't exactly the "sexiest" field for Millenials and Zoomers to pursue.

In our last episode, Stephen Webster and I "gripped it and ripped it". This time, we really "hit the sweet spot". But enough tortured sports analogies...

In our continued conversation today, Stephen and I begin by discussing all the new powerful AI tools that have been all the rage since late 2022. In particular, the ability of AI to serve as your "smart new hire" as you work to both generate new ideas and great expressions of your business. From there, we talk about the importance of exploring with curiosity while also carefully managing your attention, how setting boundaries can serve to actually bring people closer to you, and the necessity of grounding all of this in "value".

As you might remember, Stephen helps growth-minded business leaders ignite next-level growth through performance coaching, business systems, and technology. He is the CEO of Wellfleet Enterprises, a graduate of the Zero to Dangerous peak performance training program, as well as a mentor and advisor to individuals and organizations.

He works with clients to find their purpose and develop a holistic model of success for their lives – career, personal relationships, health & finances.

Known internationally for pioneering engagement leadership work, Nadine advises business and non-profit executives, heads of state, and all kinds of other organizations. She’s CEO of beCause Global Consulting, named Best Stakeholder Engagement Firm, and was the first female Executive-in-Residence at IMD Business School with a focus on responsible leadership.

Among her many accolades, she’s received the Catalyst for Change award; been shortlisted for the Responsible CEO of the Year, and received a Lifetime Achievement Award presented at Säid Business School Oxford University.

From TEDx to Forbes, Nadine speaks about engaging with others who have different perspectives and the value of connections.

Listing all of her accomplishments and honors and awards here would take us all day, and that’s saying nothing of all her ongoing work across the globe.

Most importantly for today, Nadine’s in the midst of writing her new book, “The Power of Connectedness” (with a foreword by Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Desmond Tutu), which is at the heart of everything she does.

(In fact, that was nearly the title for this episode...but Nadine inspired an even better one. ;)

We begin our conversation with a story about Nadine and her grandmother, and how an early lesson in giving and serving led Nadine into becoming the coach she is today.

“I didn’t recognize at first that my coaching style is kind of like what a loving grandmother would do: open space for exploration without pressure. I’ve been told by those I’ve coached that I create a safe space and ask gentle but probative questions that enable them to unearth primal issues underneath whatever specific concern they’ve asked me to help them resolve.”

We go on to explore several deep and powerful ideas around human connection, with Nadine drawing from her decades of experience coaching just about every kind of person you can imagine. We touch on things like open questions, building trust, creating and holding space, how respect fuels patience, not "stealing the revelation", and so much more.

She closes our conversation with this: “Knowing who you are and learning how to not lie to yourself - whether ‘you’ is a person, a family or a business - is the ability to recognize denial or avoidance when it’s in play and put an end to it by owning up to what’s real. As a grandmother, I feel this is the best legacy I can share.“

Seriously, this is among the deepest and most value-packed 30 minutes we've had the opportunity to record. Nadine is a treasure, and experiencing even this tiny piece of her work here will enrich your life.

As a top leadership coach, keynote speaker, leadership development expert, and Amazon best-selling author (with a second one on the way in October 2023 ), Dr. Jun works with high-achieving women and emerging leaders to unleash their untapped power for themselves and their teams.

Sohee's coaching is not the kind that comes from a book (though she has written one). Her coaching is backed by a Ph.D. and Masters in Organizational Psychology, a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, and multiple leadership certifications — but more importantly, it has been shaped by her own personal experience as a leader with a large team and many frustrations.

It is her goal to leverage that rare ability to blend experience, theory, and effective strategy to come up with customized plans that guide managers toward becoming better decision-makers and communicators - plans that work in the real world.

Orvel Ray is back for another round! We start our conversation by exploring the subject of pricing and price objections as it pertains to the coaching business. Using that as a springboard, we talk about coaching as an investment, how to correctly value your coaching in how you choose to price it, and how intrinsic commitment is on both sides of the coaching relationship. Also, Orvel has an opening on his personal client roster and has generously offered to chat with any and all takers about it! You can reach out to him at [email protected] to ask for a meeting, and he'll send you a link for a FREE one-hour consultation. As with all great coaches, Orvel knows the importance of "the right fit", and he's more than willing to explore that with you. To refresh your memory in case you missed our first episode, Orvel Ray helps professionals build their businesses by becoming thought leaders. Working on writing, stagecraft, and marketing - and with 40 years on the international speaking circuit under his belt - he knows exactly how to help professionals in creating entertaining, content-rich presentations that grow their businesses.

I can't tell you how excited I was to have Clovette back on the podcast, and she exceeded my already-high expectations!

Today, we dive right into the deep end - discussing the idea of emotional capital and the vital role that authenticity and vulnerability play in the modern workplace.

We also explore the need for good guidance during times of transformation (a coach comes to mind ;), holding space and time to let good questions find their ultimate destination (which sometimes is an even better question), and how a real strategy for your personal and professional life is the ultimate fruit that great coaching will bear.

We cover a TON more, as it was easy to slip right into the kind of open and flowing dialogue that we both love. Towards the end of our chat, Clovette also mentions a special offer that she's putting out on LinkedIn. The first 100 people who respond will get to take her up on that offer, so click on over to her LI profile (link below) for more details.

In case you need a refresher, Clovette believes success happens when she finds a better way and shares it with others. She does that by challenging the status quo and thinking differently. After getting fired via voicemail from a software sales job, Clovette made a commitment to help 100K software salespeople secure their future by leveraging their existing IP.

Ultimately, what she brings is a trusting relationship where others can count on her, with a major focus on how she desires to positively influence the communities she chooses to serve.

Kene Iloenyosi is back, and just as fantastic as I remembered! Our first episode was among my very favorite chats, and this second one somehow managed to exceed my already-lofty expectations.

In our conversation today, we cover the “ins and outs” of introversion and extroversion (and ambiversion), the importance of “fit” in both your professional life and the coach/client relationship, and the ways that purpose can power your work.

(...and LOTS more, but you’ll just have to listen to get the rest…)

Kene Iloenyosi is an author, career coach, and speaker who guides people to discover their purpose and find their career sweet spot. His books, “Finding Your Sweet Spot”, “DNA of Talent” and “Put Your Purpose to Work”, have helped thousands of people live out their purpose in the work they do.
