Part two of our conversation moves to our predictions for the coaching industry next year.

Sparked by an Instagram post of Sas’ we talk about the following trends we are seeing:

• Growing preference for experiences over products
• Increased value placed on becoming vs consuming
• Decline of "vibes-based" coaching towards values-based coaching
• Return to local, in-person offerings
• Growth in private, contained spaces for community (like Substack)
• The role of AI 
• Moving away from algorithm-driven socials
• Industry maturation
• More emphasis on depth of practice and expertise
• Greater focus on ethics and responsibility
• Why we need to pay attention to Soul Cycle!

12. Planning & Predictions for 2025 (Part 1)

It turns out we had quite a lot to say about this topic and so we have created two episodes! 

In part one, we share our different relationships with planning and goals. From "tumultuous" to having a "love affair", having a fluid emergent approach, to having a structured framework, we each have different preferences.

During our conversation, we discuss the importance of following intrinsic motivation rather than external "shoulds" and the value of staying in a relationship with goals/intentions over time.

Part two comes next week!

Mentioned in this episode:

·      Bridgette’s Mosaic Framework

·      Sas’ Courage-based Goals 

·      Lianne’s Mentoring programme

11. Meeting the moment: after the US election 

This episode is a break from our planned conversation to focus on the outcome of the US election: what we are experiencing, how we are supporting clients and most importantly, what we can do as coaches. 

We talk about what this moment might be asking from us and how our skills, training and presence is ideally placed for this time. 

Mentioned in this episode: 

• Join or Die on Netflix 
• The Fifth Sacred Thing by Starhawk (she also has an excellent Substack)

10. Healthy Client Love + Attachment 

Lianne leads a rich and nuanced conversation about love and attachment. We go beyond popular ideas of an attachment style to talk about ‘agape’ - a Greek word for the love of fellow humans – to go beyond loving personality or behaviour and to love a person’s soul.  

When we think about the purpose of attachment – to grow us up into our human potential – how do we sit in this idea as coaches? What does love mean for us as coaches?  Do we have a role to make our client’s feel loved? And if not, what does our role involve. 

We talk about the ways our own unhealthy attachments get involved with our client relationships and what we can do to take care of ourselves and our clients.

Sas introduces the concept of parallel process – when our work with clients activates our growth. 

Often, this isn’t pretty or easy—it’s the moments when we notice patterns we are engaging in as part of our work. Sometimes, clients' particular challenges or approaches can feel really uncomfortable - it might be something we share with our clients.

Coaching is relational, so parallel process is of course, inevitable. We will get entangled with clients - its part of the work. And our clients will project on to us all the time! Transference and counter-transference is part of the work.

Often, our experience is not helpful to share with our clients. When we are going through something that has not yet been processed, its probably inappropriate to bring into sessions.

So, how do we hold ourselves steady in these moments? What are the ethics and good practices that support us and our clients?

Bridgette introduces a rich conversation about both the helpfulness and the more problematic aspects of mindset-dominant coaching approaches.

We talk about what the effectiveness of this kind of coaching might really be down to and what to do if you want to broaden the scope of your practice.

If you’ve ever wondered if thought work, mindset, affirmations or cognitive behavioural approaches are all they are purported to be, this episode is worth listening to.

In this episode, Lianne leads a conversation about the future of coaching.

Does coaching have a future? And if so what might it look like? We discuss alternatives to the creepier aspects of the industry and the hopeful ideas for the maturation and evolution of the industry. 

Its a juicy one!

In this episode, Sas shares the concept of Tūrangawaewae - tūranga (standing place) and waewae (feet) is our place to stand. 

Tūrangawaewae are the external and internal places where we feel especially empowered and connected. They are our foundation, our place in the world, where we feel at home. As coaches, this includes our unique experiences and histories, our training and coaching philosophy, all filtered through our specific personalities!

We chat about how to find your place to stand – a practice of discernment and listening to your heart.

Bridgette has a free workshop coming up in her Coaching Salon: The Gift of Disillusionment. If you have been disappointed and let down by a coach training, teacher, or the industry, this is ideal for gaining insight and perspective and returning to your own discernment.

In this episode, Bridgette starts off our conversation about visibility and the discomfort this can bring. 

We chat about why this is so uncomfortable for so many of us, how to decide the ways you want to market your coaching work that feel good to you, how to navigate self-doubt, how to support your business and yourself to get your work out there!

Lianne sparks a conversation about how to create a coaching practice that feels like an eco-system rather than an ego-system.

This evocative metaphor takes the conversation on a journey to discover what is ‘downstream’ of each of us. We talk about who inspires us, who mentors us, and what we are learning. 

It was joyous to discover we all have teachers and mentors (sometimes quite far!) outside of the coaching world.
