The Coaching Difference

Welcome to The 'Master Within Reach' Series, where you get to follow our Master Coaches into sessions. Follow their thought process, learn how they navigate the coaching conversation and how they deploy coaching skills to create highly impactful coaching sessions!

In this episode, listen to how our coachee creates a vision for herself through a masterfully conducted coaching session by Master Certified Coach, Lin Tan. 

This is the first of 3 coaching sessions with this anonymous client. This is a recording of a real coaching session, with permission granted from the client to record as a learning resource for coaches.

This is a chance for you to learn what goes on in the mind of a Master Certified Coach (MCC), how her thought process shapes her responses and use of skills. 

We hope you enjoy this video! Session 2 and 3 will be coming soon.

BONUS!
Enhance your learning with a full transcript of the session and the debrief conversation! You will also find bonus comments by the Coach on her thought process, and from the Coachee during poignant moments in the conversation.

Join Lin Tan and Money FM (89.3) DJ Elliot Danker in this dynamic radio interview! The duo discusses mental health at the workplace, and Elliot leverages Lin's coaching experience to gain insights on how we can break the taboo in addressing this topic. 

In 2023, CCI took on championing mental health and wellness, and we were glad that our efforts were supported by several media who recognized the role coaches play in this movement.

This podcast episode is a replay of a LIVE radio interview where Elliot Danker discusses with Lin what (still) causes walls in the workplace when it comes to talking about mental health.

• Why this taboo is still happening when leaders are trained in EQ and communication?
• How do you recognize when mental health 'issues' are being taken advantage of?
• What can we do to start normalizing the mental health topic in organizations?
• What can I do as a leader, as an individual?
• How a parent could start normalizing discussions on mental health on the homefront?
• What is your advice to the individual struggling with mental health right now?

As coaches, we are in a position to support individuals in ensuring work-life balance, fulfillment, and self-care.

We hope you enjoyed this episode.

Welcome to The Alumni Adventure Series! In this series, we interview individuals who have undergone training in coaching skills with us, to find out their juicy stories of how opportunities and social impact have resulted from their time and money invested in learning coaching skills.  You'll be amazed at the shifts that take place simply out of stepping powerfully into the world with a coaching mindset, tools and skills.

Many coaches are inspired to set up their own coaching practice, but wonder where to start, and are faced with internal barriers when it comes to putting themselves out there and selling their services. This is why we were inspired to bring Andrea to the podcast show to showcase that it IS doable to build and establish your place in the profession! Andrea started her brand and built a strong online presence shortly after she graduated from PCD.

Andrea is the Founder of Frolic for Life, a family coaching practice based in Singapore that helps families get the best out of life – specializing in improving family dynamics and empowering individuals to make positive changes. Andrea is the resident certified Kids Life Coach and Teen Coach, and holds an ACC credential with the ICF. She has an immense passion for providing our youth with essential life skills so that they can flourish to be amazing, resilient, and confident adults.

Let's dig in! We talk about...

• How she decided on her niche (thanks to her PCD peer coach!)
• What was the primary shift in mindset that took that to take place for to shift from a generic life coach to specifically a kid's life coach
• How much does she share with the sponsors (the parents)?
• A success case where she caused a change in the coachee (a PSLE student)
• Her 60-40% breakdown of business vs coaching
• Were there moments in her business she felt defeated?
• A significant moment in the solopreneur journey
• How she has grown as an coach-preneur

The only way we can create the impact that we dream of, is when we start putting ourselves out there. We know it's certainly easier said then done! We have created resources for you to succeed in forging your path as a coach-preneur, from our 'Kick-Ass-Business-Accelerator' to our youtube videos and podcast shows.

Welcome to this special episode featuring.... the whole faculty of Master and Professional Certified Coaches (ICF)! 

Once in a while, we come together to do a podcast episode, and when we do, rest assured it will be fun, diverse, and rich. 

In this episode, you are in for a treat. 6 very experienced coaches come together and share from our decades of developing ourselves and others. This episode is for coaches who want to stretch their minds and get exposed to the myriad of ways that humans process data, raise self-awareness, and express themselves in order to learn and grow. 

• The inner work and self-awareness that carries a coach beyond skillsets into mastery
• Reflection helps us to bring up biases that affect our relationship and our outlook on life and hence our success
• Tips for people who find it difficult to look at the positive side, or negative side, or indulge in either and get stuck there
• Tendency to be harsh on ourselves, and how we can reflect to achieve balanced wisdom
• How each carves out space for self-reflection and the different modes of reflection
• Energetically stacking wins to invest it back into the way forward
• Using art as an expression of the sub-conscious
• Tapping into the lesser-known realm of the sub-conscious
• What the TAO has to do with how we reflect!
• Practical means for quick, effective reflection

This is a preview of the synergy and fun that you experience with the CCI training team. Having trained coaches for 2 decades - of which most of it we've done together as a group - you can be rest assured that you get authenticity, experience and know-how to lead you past the superficial understanding of coaching and personal growth.

Welcome to Lin's 3-part series on using coaching skills for effective parenting. In this third episode, Lin introduces 5 everyday scenarios you can easily bring in COACHING MOMENTS (or, Micro-coaching)! Lin guides you with examples of when and how you can bring in coaching questions and skills to connect with your child, and to get them reflecting and learning. Coaching is a hat we wear everyday, because we cannot predict when coaching happens. With this episode, you'll find ways to jump in at any moment that is 'ripe' for coaching! As a bonus, Lin will bring you through a visualization sequence to TURN ON that state you desire to parent from. Visualization is a powerful tool to set your subconscious up for success, which we all know plays a big part in our behavior and reactions. The best part is, you can run it a few times at your own convenience to really let it 'set in'.
