The Coaching Hub Podcast

In this episode I speak to multi-passionate business owner and coach Helen Hill who is currently studying on the Optimus diploma.

She shares about how to thrive as a business owner and how being selfish can help you to succeed as you are creating boundaries.    We explore how failure is part of success and learning and overnight success is not something which is real! and how money doesn't have to be your number one driver.    This is all about growing a business on your terms.   Our Professional Coaching Diploma makes you a highly capable and credible coach. Check out our ICF-accredited course here. 

We’re enrolling for September now.

In this podcast we talk to Gwendolyn Jones about Neurodiversity in coaching - both working with Neurodiverse clients and how to create your own way of doing things if you are Neurodiverse.

A current Optimus student Gwen has a wealth of knowledge on Neurodiversity    As Gwen says "You can't put a star brick into a square hole" she shares about how being multi passionate works for her and allows her to pursue her different areas of interest   She shares some practical things you can do both as someone who is Neurodiverse and wanting to come out of a freeze state and for coaches to support their clients right from the start.   This is an essential listen if you are a coach or wanting to become one.    If you are interested in exploring Neurodiversity in coaching come and check out our qualifications at Optimus by clicking here

If you are a parent this is a must listen. I am joined by Penny Phllips, a graduate of the Optimus Coach Academy program and the founder of a new charity Parent Village where I am a trustee. 

We are delving into how parent coaching is on the rise and how transformational it can be for both parents and their children.

Let’s be honest there is no manual for being a parent and despite the Instagram facade some people have most of us admit it can be pretty hard and sometimes we suck at it! This is where coaching can come in for all parents and especially those parents who are isolated as it can help parents to get clarity on what is going on and move forward in a purposeful, intentional way. 

The work that Penny does with parents enables them to turn around their relationships with their children and also to have the confidence that they are doing okay - something we all need sometimes!

I would love everyone to have the support of parent coaching (maybe a vision for the future)

How can a coaching qualification help you with your business? 

Today I spoke to Isabelle Fielding who graduated from our diploma just over a year ago.. In that time she has transformed her business from clinical research to predominantly coaching and training where she works with a variety of different clients.

Isabelle talks about how coaching has made a difference in her training delivery and design and with her new skills she is in demand to create engaging courses with a wide variety of clients.

Plus, we share the reality of running your business and that despite many successes both of us have had our fair share of flops, of things that didn’t work out and no’s : this is a key message to share as we know that those no’s are there for all of us and we all need to pick ourselves up and dust ourselves down to continue to pursue the yeses.

If you are considering combining coaching with your existing skills this is well worth a lesson AND we recommend you come and check out our programs below so you could create a new business like Isabelle.
