The Mirasee FM podcast team chooses their favorite episode of 2024 to close out the year. In this pick, Melinda talks with executive leadership coach Adam Quiney about his key insights for facilitating breakthroughs, allowing discomfort for growth, and creating tangible results in a co-creative process.

Adam Quiney is an executive leadership coach specializing in working with the “Smartest People in the Room.”

In this episode, Melinda and Adam explore the secrets behind breakthroughs and the difference between transformational and transactional results. They discuss the importance of meeting clients where they are and testing and navigating the limits of their worldviews. Melinda and Adam also delve into the process of breakthroughs and the challenges that arise along the way. The conversation highlights the significance of trusting intuition and making room for spirit in the coaching process — and we learn practical strategies to facilitate breakthroughs and create tangible results.

Key Takeaways:

• Transformational results require a fundamental shift in the way we show up in our lives, while transactional results are surface-level changes that don't require a fundamental shift.
• Coaches should meet clients where they are and explore the limits of their worldviews to support them in creating breakthroughs.
• Breakthroughs often involve a process of discomfort and uncertainty, and coaches should hold space for clients to be in their own process.
• Creating tangible results and setting measurable goals can support clients in staying on the path of breakthroughs.
• Coaches should make room for spirit and trust the process of co-creation in facilitating breakthroughs.
