Episode transcript: Harness Your Introvert Strengths in Business and Life (Jill Lublin) coming soon.

Kim Ades delves into the transformative power of journaling, comparing it to navigating darkness with a guiding light. Her journal-based coaching approach helps clients unearth deep-seated beliefs, challenge negative self-talk, disrupt patterns, and achieve rapid, remarkable, and lasting growth.

In each episode of Neuroscience of Coaching, host Dr. Irena O’Brien explains the science-based insights behind a particular concept and interviews a coach to discuss how these apply in the real world. Just as she does in her professional programs, Irena “un-complicates” neuroscience and teaches practical, evidence-based tools and strategies that listeners can use in their coaching practices.

Guest Bio:

Kim Ades, MBA, is a serial entrepreneur who, after a decade running a simulation-based assessment firm, sold her company and briefly worked for a local coaching company. She left after 8 months, believing she could offer better coaching. Kim felt the prevailing coaching model was flawed, intuitively realizing that driven leaders needed to understand the link between their thoughts and outcomes rather than being “held accountable.”

In 2004, Kim founded Frame of Mind Coaching®, focusing on helping leaders maximize their potential and live fulfilling lives. She also created the Frame of Mind Coaching® Certification program to teach leaders effective coaching techniques. As a pioneer in journal-based coaching, Kim is also the creator of two supporting online platforms — JournalEngine® and The Journal That Talks Back.®

Guest Bio:

Jay Fairbrother is a serial entrepreneur, business coach, and mastermind guru with 30 years of experience starting, buying, and selling seven-figure businesses. Jay’s story includes losing EVERYTHING after the 2010 financial crisis and rising from the shame to shine as “The Mastermind Guy.”

His own participation in masterminds fueled his first business to $10 million in annual revenues before selling it in 2004. During his crash and burn after the Great Recession, where he went from a multi-millionaire living in a mansion to being bankrupt and living in a friend’s basement, his mastermind tribe literally gave him purpose and kept him alive.

Jay has owned nine businesses in six different industries, and his successes and massive failures are the fuel from which he imparts his wisdom around entrepreneurship, sales, and marketing and scaling businesses. His story is one of resiliency and reinvention.

Jay’s focus is on helping coaches, speakers, healers, and thought leaders create their own mastermind or hybrid programs to scale their business and deliver massive client transformations. His mission is to create more human connection on the planet... one mastermind at a time.
