Leadership is something that all of us will more than likely aspire to, whether it’s because of the security and money that a leadership role can offer, or if the management and leadership of others is a genuine interest that you strive towards.  

Often, we think that what makes a leader is the job title, Vice President, President, Manager. However, this isn’t always the case. In this episode I discuss the preconceptions of what comes with a leadership role, and what it means to actually be in a leadership role.  

Here are the highlights: 

(01:39) Security in leadership 

(05:15) It’s not always about you  

(08:06) Knowing the right moments 

(11:44) Being mindful and present

A huge part of the coaching process is self-awareness. Understanding who we are, what motivates us, and what our personal goals are. 

Before we put ourselves forward to guide and coach others, we need to have a clear understanding of what makes us tick. 

I believe that developing our self-awareness is crucial to understanding ourselves better, so we can not only learn from our mistakes, but also learn to embrace them and realise they are part of who we are- and of course, that ultimately helps us to become better coaches! 

In today’s episode I discuss my own experiences with ADHD, drama triangles and offer tips on how we can acknowledge our own imperfections. 

Here are the highlights: 

(01:02) ADHD 

(05:05) Not everything is personal 

(09:07) Misinterpretation 

(11:50) Guilt

In this episode I speak to multi-passionate business owner and coach Helen Hill who is currently studying on the Optimus diploma.

In this podcast we talk to Gwendolyn Jones about Neurodiversity in coaching - both working with Neurodiverse clients and how to create your own way of doing things if you are Neurodiverse.

If you are a parent this is a must listen. I am joined by Penny Phllips, a graduate of the Optimus Coach Academy program and the founder of a new charity Parent Village where I am a trustee. 

We are delving into how parent coaching is on the rise and how transformational it can be for both parents and their children.

Let’s be honest there is no manual for being a parent and despite the Instagram facade some people have most of us admit it can be pretty hard and sometimes we suck at it! This is where coaching can come in for all parents and especially those parents who are isolated as it can help parents to get clarity on what is going on and move forward in a purposeful, intentional way. 

The work that Penny does with parents enables them to turn around their relationships with their children and also to have the confidence that they are doing okay - something we all need sometimes!

I would love everyone to have the support of parent coaching (maybe a vision for the future)

How can a coaching qualification help you with your business? 

Today I spoke to Isabelle Fielding who graduated from our diploma just over a year ago.. In that time she has transformed her business from clinical research to predominantly coaching and training where she works with a variety of different clients.

Isabelle talks about how coaching has made a difference in her training delivery and design and with her new skills she is in demand to create engaging courses with a wide variety of clients.

Plus, we share the reality of running your business and that despite many successes both of us have had our fair share of flops, of things that didn’t work out and no’s : this is a key message to share as we know that those no’s are there for all of us and we all need to pick ourselves up and dust ourselves down to continue to pursue the yeses.

If you are considering combining coaching with your existing skills this is well worth a lesson AND we recommend you come and check out our programs below so you could create a new business like Isabelle.

What makes a real difference to you as a client?

In a world of courses promising the world so many people are feeling disillusioned.. And the fact is that although the content is great it may not be great for you!

I speak to our current diploma student Nicole Louise Winer who is an experienced business mentor and coach who shares how personalisation and coaching support can help get you unstuck and accelerate your success. 

We discuss how coaching can be a great supplement to more structured programs to help you adapt to what works for you. 

If you are looking for the opposite of cookie-cutter take a listen to this episode, it is something both me and Nicole are passionate about in our programs.
