The Coaching Studio with Lyssa deHart

I am looking forward to introducing you to my guest in the studio Tara Nolan, MCC. One of my favorite parts of the conversation was when Tara was talking about the "being" of partnership. And the move away from listening to the content and she shifted into listening now just for energy. Noticing what words really spring out to her that she could then be curious about. She said, "Am I picking something up and being curious about that and noticing the terminology, or when a client just takes a deep inhale and moves backward." These small easily overlooked elements that often lead to the deeper underlying important inquiries.

Tara Nolan, MCC is a coach for Top Teams & Senior Executives of global concerns. Tara is a certified Mentor Coach & facilitates Leadership Development programs. Tara is a keynote speaker & Podcaster. Visit her Podcast, The Game of Teams. Consistently working with organizations such as Microsoft, Zurich FS, Quintas, the Senior Civil Service, and others she delivers an executive coaching service with a difference.

Welcome to the Coaching Studio, I am looking forward to introducing you to my guest today Tünde Erdös, Ph.D., MCC. Join us as we meander through the forces that moved Tünde from extrinsic motivation to intrinsic motivation and how coaching aligned with that journey. 

One of the interesting parts from our conversation was around "knowing" or "not knowing." 
Tünde shares, "I don't want to know and interestingly what I realized today and I didn't know that before when I was a novice coach, was that anything that we need to know to start working with, emerges in the first 5 to 10 minutes in any encounter. And because I have had this experience, this is what I'm looking for. This innocent, this blank sheet, you know, going in as a blank sheet as best as we can." 

Tünde is a Master Certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation and has done a body of research on Presence. Her work has explored how coaches may think they are present with their clients, yet the body language of the coach and the client tells a different story. What does it mean to be present?

Tünde Erdös, Ph.D., MCC, would say, "My profession is more than a vocation: it’s a pro-vocation: I coach in synergy with leadership, HR, teams, and workshop staff mostly in culturally diverse environments. What I learned is that staying fresh as a coach is the biggest challenge for me. So, I’ve decided to fall out of love and in love with coaching over and over again. My vision is to coach for connection between all stakeholders. The goal is to encourage systems-collaborative thinking, the key to organizational thriving beyond individual growth. I also place my practice on evidence base through my own engagement in research. And creating social impact through coaching has been my latest pet peeve: it's about moving from 'power for me' to 'empowering other women in Kenya - through coaching and coach training: and the coaching documentary is the most recent initiative to do just that.

So thank you again, Tünde, for being on the show.

I am looking forward to introducing you to my guest today Ben Dooley, MCC. Join us as we discuss Ben's thoughts on what coaches need to hear about marketing, coaching, and clowning around.

I am looking forward to introducing you to my guest today Tracy Sinclair, MCC. Join us as we ponder what would be different in the world if Coaching wasn't typically a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th career, but rather if young adults could choose Coaching like they do Social Work or Organizational Psychology. What if Coaching was the first career? And, then we take a dive into the differences and similarities between Counseling and Coaching. 

Tracy is a Master certified coach with the International Coach Federation, she does coaching supervision, she's a mentor coach, she is a coach trainer as well as being an assessor for the ICF, As people are going through their credential process. She is the co-author of Becoming a Coach, the Essential ICF Guide, which was published in 2020. Becoming a Coach provides a comprehensive guide to coaching for coaches of all skill levels and all levels of experience. It is really an opportunity to explore the psychological underpinnings of coaching and how that also relates to the new, updated core competency model. Tracy founded Coaching with Conscience which exists to have a positive impact on society and our environment through coaching. She leads projects related to mental health, well-being, and coaching young leaders. Tracie has volunteered with the ICF in the last 10 years In various global and local roles, including being the Global Chair in 2018. Which in fact was the first time that I met her at the Global Leadership Forum in Warsaw Poland. So thank you again Tracy for being on the show.

I hope you enjoy the show!

Welcome to the Coaching Studio. In this episode let's get to know Amina Eperjesi, PCC. Amina partners with leaders, teams, and coaches to use their experience at work as a starting point for personal and professional growth.

Come listen as Amina and I explore Coaching Supervision as well as Executive Leader Supervision. Creating safe spaces to explore our relationship to the work we do. How creating healthy boundaries is crucial for coaches so that they can show up with the capacity to let go of their expertise, to be present with their clients.

"Good Supervision allows me to soften, allows me to experience my full self and to sort through those boundaries like you said. And I think boundary issues are so incredibly important to work with, for anybody who works with people."

Welcome to the Coaching Studio. In this episode let's get to know Ihab Badawi, MCC. Ihab Badawi is a Corporate Advisor and a Master Certified Coach specializing in the Leadership field.  

I enjoyed this interview and it really started when Ihab shared, "And this just hit me that coaching is one of the most transformative approaches that a leader can take. And since then I embarked on this journey and I've been addicted to that journey since it led me to leave the corporate world and establish uh an entity to support other leaders across the globe."

"What does it mean for me to open it up and embrace my own emotions and open up for emotion with the client, I don't want to go there. And his advice, and I really thank him for that, he said like just give it one more day and just let it be. And that is the point where the second day we talked about vulnerability and then I knew the power as a leader, how much you can evolve by being vulnerable. And as a human being at the end of the day. And this took a lot of research from me because now I advocate that if you're in the corporate, all life coaching, or executive coaching, it doesn't matter there is the human being behind that."

His book, Transcendence Leadership Coach will be published soon.

Welcome to the Coaching Studio. In this episode let's get to know Jo Lanigan, MCC. There are many interesting intersections that lead a person from one side of the world to do something, and then transition their life halfway across the planet, only to find themselves doing something completely different.

Jo started out having worked hard to be a perfectionist. Everything had to be right. And the growth that comes with letting go and not having to be perfect is a big part of this conversation. 

It’s so beautiful to see when newer coaches can say, hey, it’s okay, I don’t have to be perfect. But just to be so present with their client that they create this bubble. And they, they forget about the next question that they’re just so present with them. Just hearing the magnificence of what comes from the client.

As one of the first pioneers and champions of professional coaching. She served as a founding ICF Executive Board member and was the chair of developing the Credentialing paths for both coaches and coaching schools.

Learn from Jo Lanigan about the transformative experience she had, as she made her journey to MCC.
