The Coaching Studio with Lyssa deHart

I am happy to introduce Christine Billy, MCC, to the Coaching Studio. Join us as we dive into the Karpman Drama Triangle and discover how a coach can use the model to inform their curiosity and build their own courage. Christine and I explore what it means to come to the center of the triangle and how as a coach, to move from helper to coach. Focusing on the questions and not the solutions. How our preferred role influences the work we individually need to do to find our own center so that we can show up fully with our clients and in our lives.

Christine shares, "I think life is about the learning that I do too. From control to openness. That's our wisdom because we are all unique. We all have a story in life. My experience in coaching is that if you create a safe space, a respectful space, where there is no judgment on the curiosity, and you are with the person or the team, then at some point, people dare to say things sometimes that they have never said to anybody else. And um, that's what we name a moment where they realize that they can face their emotions, their beliefs, and it's not dangerous; it's a relief. So it's a unique experience."

Scientist and Master Certified Coach (MCC ICF) Christine Billy is passionate about Influencing individuals, teams, and organizations at all levels. High-performance coach, trainer, and speaker working with leaders and teams to transform obstacles into opportunities. A scientist who held project and team leadership roles in the Pharma industry for 20 years. A catalyst of change to liberate our best potential. With more than 20 years of enterprise-wide business transformation experience. Coached and trained more than 2000 individuals and Fortune Global 500 executive teams.

I am happy to introduce Philippe Rosinski, MCC, to the Coaching Studio. We run the gamut from how coaching impacts human potential and how our systems may impact how we decide to be purposeful in this conversation to Culturally competent coaching. We discuss the difference between uniformity and unity. And how some organizations have an impoverishment of differences. In these times of the "Great Resignation," organizations need to be willing to get curious and shift towards more unity. This requires them to explore differences and open up to their diverse population's wisdom, supporting their people's empowerment to share something greater with their organizations and, ultimately, the world.

Prof. Philippe Rosinski, MCC, is considered the pioneer of intercultural and global coaching. He is the author of two seminal books, Coaching Across Cultures and Global Coaching. Philippe is a world authority in executive coaching, team coaching, and global leadership development. He is the first European to have been designated Master Certified Coach by the International Coach Federation. He has also developed an integrative coaching supervision approach. Philippe is the principal of Rosinski & Company, a consultancy based in Belgium with global partners, and a professor at the Kenichi Ohmae Graduate School of Business in Tokyo, Japan. He intervenes in several other academic institutions. He is the co-author of several books, including:

• Coaching Across Cultures: New Tools for Leveraging National, Corporate and Professional Differences
• Global Coaching
• Read his chapter in: Evidence Based Coaching Handbook: Putting Best Practices to Work for Your Clients 
• Read his chapter in: Mastering Executive Coaching

Philippe is the author of the Cultural Orientations Framework (COF) assessment. Philippe has received numerous awards, including the Thinkers50 Leading Global Coaches Award and the ICF Circle of Distinction.

This week on the Coaching Studio, I am happy to introduce you to Georgina Woudstra, MCC. This conversation centers around Coaching teams, not facilitating or advising teams, but using your coaching presence and curiosity to hold the space to support teams to self-discovery. It's an important and powerful distinction. Team coaching, with a capital C, is coaching at the heart and lends itself to Teams having insights and agency.

Georgina shares how to stay a coach and empower teams. Team coaching takes a coach able to hold space. Remembering that there is Self, Team, and Situation. Georgina says, "I'm going to say it depends on the SPF because every team is different. Different sizes, contexts, lengths of programs, and levels of maturity. So my answer here is, in an ideal scenario, with a team that can hold it, and you may need to do more work to get the team to that place. But ideally, we mess around with the process as little as possible. See, the moment we facilitate breaking into small groups, and bring them back together, that's facilitating. They're not managing their own process. Right, but if the only invitation is to talk amongst yourselves for ten minutes, then you see, and they get to see how they self-organize. And, um, that's when the learning happens, not when we organize for them. Otherwise, they need us with them organizing their process. So if we get out of the way, the system will reveal itself good, bad, or indifferent."

Georgina Woudstra is much more than an executive coach. She is a chief executive coach with more than 30 years of experience and a proven track record in coaching CEOs, executive boards, senior leaders, and top teams. She specializes in coaching new and established CEOs as well as CEOs in the making. Georgina is one of the leading lights globally in team coaching. In 2017, she founded the Team Coaching Studio to provide coaches with a pathway to mastery in team coaching, ultimately leading to professional accreditation with the leading professional bodies. She is one of the first coaches globally to be recognized by the International Coaching Federation with the Advanced Certificate in Team Coaching.

On this episode of the Coaching Studio, I am thrilled to introduce you to Gideon Culman, MCC. Someone who I consider a good friend. I thoroughly enjoyed this thoughtful conversation with Gideon as we launch grenades into ideas about non-judgment and explore the idea of skillfully cultivated ignorance.  Join me as we consider how our world is created and impacted by how we show up as a coach.

Gideon received his MCC in 2020. He brings a deeply thoughtful style and curiosity into his coaching. Gideon believes that embracing curiosity is essential to creating the world we want. Life today is accelerating at a ferocious clip. The stability, predictability, and certainty that we may have taken for granted are falling away. The more tightly we cling to a fleeting world order we once knew, the more fluidly it seems to slip through our fingers. Stepping back and taking in the impact of the volatility that greets us at every turn can take our breaths away. Rising to the occasion of life in a rapidly evolving world and our exceedingly demanding roles in it leaves us with no choice but to grow and change.

Join me as I welcome Chariti Gent, MCC as she shares many nuggets of coaching wisdom that help us move through the internal churn of needing to fill the space and our discomfort with silence; Coaching with the Twenty-Second Rule was priceless! We also explore the work of education around equity and inclusion that she is working on with the University of Wisconsin Coaching Program. The question becomes, how do we bring white people together to do their work so that they can dig into themselves and figure out how to participate in advancing coaching as a paradigm for transformational change for human beings across the planet? Honoring other cultures and other experiences.

Chariti Gent is a veteran of the coaching world, having started her journey by hiring her first professional coach in 2004. Since then, Chariti has held positions as an internal corporate coach and trainer for a major international franchise, president and founder of Chariti Gent Coaching and Consulting (www.charitigent.com), and Program Director and Lead Faculty for the University of Wisconsin’s Certified Professional Coach program (UWCPC). Currently, Chariti is the Director of Professional Coach Education at the University of Wisconsin. Chariti received her formal ICF training and certification through the Co-Active Training Institute in 2010. She became a certified ICF PCC Assessor in 2018 and earned the designation of Master Certified Coach (MCC) in 2020. When not working to bring top-notch training to all of the UW’s coaching students, Chariti can be found e-bike riding around town, creating mixed media art in her home studio, and/or relaxing near the lake with a cold beer.

On this episode of the Coaching Studio, I welcome my guest today Mel Leow, MCC. We discuss business, feedback, self-reflection, and bravery. The idea of partnership and the need to learn to get comfortable with "not knowing" so that we can be in full curiosity with our clients and thusly better coaches.

When I asked him what he would say to those seeking their MCC, he responded, "I think I'll just start by saying don't take yourself so seriously. And I did, and I did the start, at least. Um, I kind of felt like I was the savior of the room. I didn't just do coaching; I did facilitation. I did some speaking gigs and, um, strategic leadership team meetings and stuff like that. So did all that. Um, and sometimes those experiences give you the feel like you're in control, back again. Um, but I guess, uh, the more I let the people do the work, um, the less I feel like I've got to build up this, and I've got to do this to build my credibility. All of that is, I guess, important for the growth."

With 28 years in Coaching, Consulting, Marketing, and Leadership in the Asia Pacific region, Mel’s key drive is to coach and empower Catalysts and Leaders to Live. Be. Brave. Mel serves c-suite executives from global and regional organizations to lead and thrive, speak their minds, connect with their hearts and bring out the best in others! He has over 4500 hours of Executive and Team Coaching experience and is one of 1500 Master Certified Coaches globally credentialed by the ICF. He is passionate about equipping "Future Coaches" through the Catalyst Coach Certification program as their Mentor Coach and Principal Trainer. Mel is a co-author of three books, “Bring Out Their Best,” “Coach Wisdom” (Volume II), and “The Calling” and author of the “ENGAGE – How to Stop Living in Default and Start Living the Life You Desire.

Check out Mel's book, Engage: How to stop living in default and start living the life you desire!

I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with Mel, and I hope you will as well.

Tony was taught coaching at it's genesis, focused on the non-directive coaching principles at that time with the likes of Sir John Witmore.

Today’s guest is someone who I think you are going to enjoy; I am excited to introduce you to Mike Green, MCC. In our conversation today, we talk about Mike’s adventure into Leadership Coaching, becoming an MCC, and how each coach has to discover how to let go of their baggage, such as the idea of adding value, to become the coach their clients need.

Mike Green’s story reads like something from a Hemingway or Kerouac novel. This guy hitchhiked from New York to Alaska just to prove a point. He believes that leaders are made in the wild. In all environments, no matter how extreme, there is a shared fundamental need: people who are brave enough to discover their leadership truth. Throughout his 30 years of working and traveling around 63 countries throughout all seven continents, he has documented over 11,000 hours of coaching along the way. His book “Wandermust, A Hero’s Journey To Seven Truths” chronicles some of his travels as well as how he coaches clients in the outdoors. Mike utilizes various methods, including dynamic workshops, virtual coaching, face-to-face coaching, and adventure coaching, to help uncover clients’ leadership truths. He earned the Master Certified Coach accreditation from the International Coaching Federation, which is the highest standard for coaching.

I hope you enjoy our conversation as we adventure into ideas around how we show up and give value, to stepping into having empathy and grace with ourselves as we develop as coaches. 

Mike works with Executives and Leaders, and we chat about how coaching benefits his clients as they explore how they may be very far out of alignment and congruence with themselves and the type of leader they want to be. Exploring their leadership truth ultimately melts into their life truth. 

You’ll never discover the truth about yourself behind a desk, but in the rugged wilderness of Alaska, on the breathtaking plains of the Serengeti, or in the stunning Gobi desert.

Extreme environments challenge us to become the best version of ourselves by drawing upon the courage within each of us to achieve new levels of performance.

His book Wandermust is available on Amazon. 

Thank you again, Mike, for coming into the Studio.

I hope you enjoy the show!
