  • Episode Three: Mid Week Muse on Consistency

    This week's Mid Week Muse is on consistency.

    Consistency isn’t about perfection; it’s about reliability. It’s about showing up, day in and day out, with the same level of commitment, integrity, and care.

    As you go through the rest of your week, ask yourself:

    1, Do your actions as a leader or coach alignwith your words and values—every single day?

    2, What’s one small habit you can commit toconsistently that will make you a stronger leader or coach?

  • Episode One: What's Next Full Podcast: Stephen Logan

    In this episode Jim Smith will be reflecting on an article for the Harvard Buisness Review called 'Great Leaders Are Thoughtful and Deliberate, Not Impulsive and Reactive'. There is lots to learn and reflect from this article and Jim will be giving listeners 3 reflection questions (see below in description for the reflection questions) to use to reflect on their own leadership based on the findings from the Harvard article.

    Also Jim will be interviewing Stephen Logan (Principal at Healing Academy) about his career, the lessons he has learned, his successes, and his failures. It is a great interview where Stephen gives practical advice, real-life stories, and insights into what it takes to lead and coach at the highest level. We are really excited and honoured to have Stephen as our first ever guest on 'What's Next?'.

    Reflection Questions:

    1, When was the last time your reactive self took over, and

    how did it impact the outcome of that situation?

    2, What small steps can you take this week to cultivate a

    stronger self-observer in your leadership or coaching practice?

    3, Who in your circle could serve as a trusted accountability partner to help you stay deliberate and thoughtful in your actions?

  • Episode Two: Mid Week Muse on Active Listening

    This week'd Mid Week Muse is on active listening.

    Active listening isn’t just a skill; it’s a mindset. It takes practice, patience, and a willingness to put your ego aside. But the rewards? Stronger connections, deeper insights, and a culture of trust and collaboration.


    As you go through the rest of your week, ask yourself:

    1, How often are you truly listening to those around you

    without planning your next response?

    2, What could change in your relationships if you made a

    conscious effort to listen more and speak less?

    details of a project or task? Was it truly necessary, or could it have been an opportunity to empower your team to take ownership and grow?

    2, What specific steps can you take to build trust in your

    team's capabilities and resist the urge to control every detail, even when the stakes feel high?
