In this week's episode we are talking about building rapport with your coaching clients. We get asked about this alot so thought it would be a good subject to address as rapport building looks quite different when developing it personally rather than professionally. 

We discuss:

• what rapport is and the role it plays when coaching
• when rapport building begins
• where rapport is built
• how it is built through tone of voice and body language to name a few
• the role of curiosity, listening and deep inquiry
• how important calibration is to rapport building
• the power of rapport with self

Rapport is an important part of the coaching relationship and needs to be considered in every second of the coaching session and we can understand that the rapport building process can begin long before a person even becomes a client. So, intentionally building rapport at all stages of the process is so important.

In this week's episode we are exploring a day in the life of a coach. We often get asked about this and we also know that people wanting to transition into coaching are curious about what happens daily. We will show you what our days look like now and how that differs to when we first started coaching.

We talk about:

• The difference between working ‘in’ the business and ‘on’ the business
• How we navigate admin tasks
• Bringing creativity into daily life
• How your business structure developing can change how you spend your time
• The importance of creating the life and business that you want to have

You can hear in this episode that in some ways our experiences differ but there are threads of similarities that cross through our days. One of the great things about being a coach is that you get to decide how your day looks and this can change over time as you and your business evolve. How do you create your working days?

In this week's episode we are discussing overcoming barriers to learning. When learning as an adult we acknowledge that there are lots of reasons that barriers might occur 

We talk about:

• some of the beliefs people have that hold them back from learning
• how barriers can often be invisible or held without the student knowing
• clear barriers to learning that a student is able to articulate from a poor experience in childhood in the classroom through to identifiable learning needs
• the importance of identity and safety
• how we can help clients to identify resistance and barriers
• how we can help people to build in confidence in you as a coach

It is important to be able to identify your own barriers to learning as well as supporting others to identify and overcome them. Our beliefs around learning can be detrimental to our desire to learn so it is important that we take as many barriers into account as possible. In making our courses accessible we are giving our students or coachees an opportunity to have a positive experience and thrive.

In today’s episode we are discussing how you can tailor your coaching approach in order to become a world class and ethical coach.  

We talk about:

• How your clients get better results and more of a transformation through tailoring your approach with them
• How you can understand your clients needs at the start of your coaching relationship and also acknowledge any changing needs
• The importance of listening to how your client experiences the world in order to be able to adapt to them
• The power of questions and how they can support this process
• Why boundaries are important
• Alternative ways to engage with coaching

It is clear that a one size fits all approach does not work in the world of coaching if you want to be an effective coach. The more you work with your client it is likely that you will be able to tailor your approach to meet their needs. Have you considered the different ways in which you can adapt your coaching style to the needs of your clients? Are there any barriers you have come across?

In this week's episode we are talking about something that we hear about a lot from our coachees but also from our coaches. We wonder if it’s something that you might have experienced too. Let’s explore imposter syndrome and how we coach through this.

We discuss:

• The universal experience that is felt through imposter syndrome
• How we can, as coaches, to be triggered into feeling like an imposter
• What can make us feel like an imposter?
• Is the word syndrome an accurate representation of what is happening?
• The role emotions play in our coaching conversations
• How can we support our clients to find learning rather than lean into an imposter identity
• The role of radical self acceptance

As coaches there are many ways that we can coach our clients through these feelings of being an imposter. We can become skillful at helping them to explore these different avenues and our first step is to have a true understanding of what we are really talking about when it comes to imposter syndrome.

In this week's episode we would like to introduce to you four coaching activities for the end of the year. It is natural at this time of year that we reflect back on what has happened and consider what we want to achieve in the next year.  We discuss:

• how to create a timeline of your year
• how to reset and gain a new perspective 
• ways to honour what has been, let go of some things and welcome in new ideas

These activities are perfect to use with not only your clients but also personally. As we move towards the end of the year how are you choosing to reflect on 2022 and look towards 2023?

In this week's episode we want to talk to you about an essential pillar of coaching that we both love, beliefs. We could easily talk for a long time about beliefs as there are so many different approaches but today we will focus on some of the important elements when we consider the role of beliefs in coaching.

We discuss:

• what are the different types of belief
• how beliefs can help or hinder us
• some of the limiting beliefs that we have personally overcome
• ways to invite more helpful thoughts 
• the positive intentions behind some of our limiting beliefs
• the power of changing our unhelpful beliefs
• how coaching can help people to design a life they want

Beliefs are such an important part of the coaching experience and supporting your clients to identify unhelpful beliefs and then unlock, release and let go of them will be  life changing for them. Have you focussed on beliefs work with your coachees or with yourself?

In today's episode we are talking all about coaching as a career option for military leavers. We wanted to talk about this for a number of reasons which we will outline but also because both of our husbands are former military personnel and we are registered with ELCAS which provides funding opportunities. So let's discuss why coaching could be a great fit for military leavers.

We will discuss:

• how coaching could fit into the lives and careers of people who are used to military service
• the investment already made in leadership skills in the military matches so well with coaching as a leadership skill 
• how you can make your CV understandable to non military people
• ways you can step out of the military with confidence and enjoy the change
• why transitions are a common theme amongst our coaching trainees

Military personnel bring so many qualities to the world of coaching and for anyone wanting to make the transition we encourage you to get in touch with us. We are happy to talk to you to discuss further how a career in coaching could work for you.
