In this episode, Elias sits down with Paul Sanbar, MCC, to explore the fascinating world of Lego® Serious Play® (LSP). This hands-on, creative tool uses Lego bricks to help individuals and teams unlock fresh insights, foster self-awareness, and stimulate deep reflection. Paul, a seasoned LSP expert, shares how the method can be particularly powerful in one-on-one coaching, allowing clients to physically externalize their thoughts, emotions, and ideas.

Through LSP, clients experience embodied cognition, where the process of building with Legos serves as a visual metaphor to enhance awareness and understanding. Elias and Paul also discuss the importance of analog tools in our increasingly digital world and the therapeutic benefits of play in coaching.

If you’re a coach, leader, or simply interested in innovative coaching methods, this episode offers a fresh perspective on how creativity, play, and unconventional tools can lead to meaningful personal and professional growth.

In today's coaching world, there’s a growing tension between rules and real-world application. In this podcast, Elias dives into the heart of this dilemma with a candid conversation about how our pursuit of standardization has led us into a legalistic mindset that often restricts the very freedom coaching should foster.  

In this episode, Elias explores the frequent disconnect between theory and practice—the gap between what we sometimes learn in coach training and the raw reality of working with real clients. How do we navigate the desire to adhere to rules without losing the essence of what coaching is all about?

Let's unpack ways to go beyond feeling limited to truly connecting with clients. How can we take the “can’t” out of your coaching, embrace presence, and invite a more authentic dialogue by committing to a deeper understanding of the coaching competencies?

It’s time to move beyond rules, embrace freedom, and rediscover the magic in the process.

In today’s episode, Elias explores the power of holding our client’s vision during a coaching engagement. There is a distinction between “holding the vision” and having a “toxic positive” approach—two concepts that often get confused but have very distinct emotional impacts. Toxic positivity forces an unrealistic sense of always staying upbeat while trying to suppress or ignore the uncomfortable facts of life, leading to disconnection and shame. On the other hand, holding the vision encourages resilience and self-compassion, acknowledging both struggles and triumphs as part of the journey toward a meaningful goal. Tune in to see how to better distinguish between these mindsets and embrace greater emotional honesty with ourselves and our clients.

It is January. It is the season to set goals for the New Year. Usually, these goals are associated with accomplishments and actions - things we want to do. What if, instead, our goals were focused on who we want to be? Building a coaching practice is intrinsically connected with building ourselves. Our brand is who we are. Whether you are a seasoned coach or just starting, the New Year is the perfect time to reflect on who you are today and the opportunities for self-discovery and self-development. That is where our brand and our personal and professional success come from.

The International Coaching Federation has worked tremendously hard to identify and establish the professional and ethical standards for coaching. Our Core Competencies give us a list describing the skills expected of a professionally trained coach. But this list is just the beginning. It is a raw attempt to describe the essential characteristics of a coaching conversation. Our job, and especially the job of a coach educator, is to be able to translate this "code" into concepts that become alive during a coaching interaction. It is a way to go above the written statements and make it human.
