Transpersonal Coaching, which is often referred to as Spiritual Coaching, sits on the periphery of mainstream coaching, and is often regarded as a little bit too woo for some coaches to consider.
In this episode we explore what it is, what it’s not and what it could be. We also consider why some people might choose to engage with Transpersonal Coaching, either as a coaching approach in its own right, or as an approach to borrow from, weaving elements of it into an integrated, holistic approach.
With a long held interest in exploring various spiritual philosophies, and developing her own beliefs and spirituality, Helen introduces the key themes of this approach and gives us her thoughts on it. Tom will offer his own perspective and some gentle challenges to the concept of Transpersonal Coaching.

This is Helen’s idea of the elements that make up spiritual or transpersonal coaching.

Having trained over 250 doctors to coach and with another 50 or so currently participating in our training programmes, we have noticed that they do have some wonderful transferable skills. We’ve also noticed that most of the doctors that come to learn to coach have some common challenges that crop up for them when it comes to learning to coach.
Some of these challenges stem from the personalities of our coaching doctors and some stem from their education, training and the constraints of the system they work within.
In this episode we follow up on Episode 78 of the podcast where we explored Personality Profiling. We talk through some of our observations of the challenges that stem from the personality differences and individual working styles of those that we train. Tom also has some interesting statistics to share about our coaching doctor population.

In this episode Helen chats with Dr Jo Hartley, a delegate on one of our early Doctors’ Transformational Coaching Diploma courses.
Jo is a former Emergency Medicine Consultant now working as a career and life coach for doctors. She works with doctors in training in her local professional support and wellbeing service and runs a business delivering workshops and coaching for hospital consultants.
Helen caught up with Jo to find out about her journey into the world of self employed coaching, her favourite coaching tools and questions, and what learning to coach has given her. Jo also has the unique perspective of having trained with us whilst also participating in an ILM5 coaching course, and shares some of the differences that she found between the two.

Values are an important aspect of coaching and integral to increasing a coachee’s self awareness and sense of identity.
When responding to questions about values a coachee may not be able to tell their coach instantly what their own values are. It may take some reflection of them to come up with them. Their values may not become apparent until they are challenged or trampled on. Alternatively, they may be keenly aware of their most important values and actively seek to live a life aligned with them.
We know that working with a coachee around understanding what their values are and how they are showing up in their life, can have a dramatic impact on their views of the world, and themselves, as well as the coaching outcomes they achieve.
In this episode we explore what values are, why they’re important, and how to work with them in the coaching room.

It’s easy to think that everyone views the world in the same way that we do. Understanding that people have different aspects to their personality that might mean they think or behave in a different way is essential in gaining perspective on situations and relationships.
In this episode we explore the psychology behind a number of psychometrics that may prove useful in the coaching room. Asking a coachee to complete a personality questionnaire and then working through their report with them can be a great way to increase their self-awareness and also their awareness of the individual personality differences that others might have.
Tom has a degree in psychology and is trained in a number of different psychometric profiling tools so is well placed to steer this discussion and help us to gain some new insights about the topic.

We sometimes get asked if we teach NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) on our Doctors’ Transformational Coaching Diploma and the answer is mostly no, and also, a little bit, yes. For this reason we thought it would be useful to have a conversation about it on our podcast.
We are both trained and licensed NLP practitioners, and although we gained something from our training, neither of us actually practise NLP.
We do, however, weave some of our learning into our individual ways of working and include some elements that you might find on an NLP course in our own training, although we credit the original source of those elements which, more often than not, is not NLP.
In this episode we explore what NLP is; its limitations; its uses in the coaching room; and, as always, our own thoughts on the subject. approach within our programmes.

As coaches we are having conversations that matter, and discussing topics that are important to our coachees. With any conversations of importance thought is required around how we hold that space for our coachees and how we show up as coaches. Coaching is an unregulated industry and it therefore falls to coaching bodies to try to ensure that its members act with professionalism, integrity and an ethical approach.
In this episode we explore the subject of ethics and what an ethical approach might look like to coaches within their own practice. We make reference to the Global Code of Ethics, which many coaching organisations are signed up to. The code offers some guidance to ethical considerations that coachees might be grappling with.

From time to time we devote an episode to questions about coaching that have been asked by our listeners. And this episode is one of those, with a difference. We have been saving up some of the more personal questions that have been sent in and you can join us to find out a little bit more about us as coaches, including our biggest frustrations about coaching, what brings us joy, what inspired us to be coaches, books we are reading, and we talk a bit about using psychometric testing in the coaching room. If you have a question to ask about coaching and would like us to answer it for you on the podcast, do send us your questions, or even drop us a voice note of your question, and we’ll feature it on a future episode.
