Make a Change to Make a Difference

In this episode of Dancing in the Moment, Barefoot CEO, Kim Morgan has an engaging and hugely informative conversation with Matt Radley, Managing Director of Matthew Radley & Associates and leading Executive Coach working with CEO’s, Executive Teams, and Boards.

Matt generously shares his story before, during and after his experience on Barefoot’s ICF-accredited Post Graduate Certificate in Business & Personal Coaching course, and how he went from not knowing what coaching was on the first day to ‘bravely’ leaving his job and becoming a successful coach and business owner.

This is a must listen for anyone interested in working as an associate in other coaching companies as Kim and Matt also discuss the standards, values and behaviours they look for when selecting associates.

I loved this conversation with Gary Cole, Founder and Director of Archipelo!  Please do listen to this if you are a coach who has thought or said any of the following things:

Gary generously shares his own experiences - with straight-talking honesty, enthusiasm, fierce belief in the power of coaching and a great sense of fun.

I felt really motivated to do more and be more after speaking to Gary – I hope you do, too.

In this episode of Dancing in the Moment, Kim talks to Yannick Jacob - existential coach, positive psychologist, coach trainer, supervisor and author of Existential Coaching.

They talk all things coaching and specifically address the “Is this coaching or is this therapy?” question.  We love Yannick’s explanation of how an existential approach can bridge the coaching/therapy ‘gap’ and what is that gap, anyway?!

Enjoy listening to Yannick’s wealth of knowledge, delivered with lightness, energy and a great sense of fun!

In a new episode of Dancing in the Moment Kim talks to Claire Genkai Breeze, Corporate Contemplative, Coach, Writer, Partner Relume Ltd, Trustee of The Mindful Life.

Barefoot CEO, Kim Morgan commented: “Recording this podcast with Claire Genkai Breeze was a delight.  Claire is a courageous and fierce thinker,  is gently rebellious, loving, compassionate and wise. She challenges the status quo and habitual thinking with eloquence, pragmatism and respect… and all with a twinkle in her eye.  She made me think, challenged me, inspired me to do more and made me laugh until I cried.  (Btw I think we edited most of the giggling out of the podcast!)

I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed recording it.  Thank you again to Claire for this gift. 🙏
