Sassy Smith is a revolution in the world of personal coaching and, in this episode, we discuss the growing awareness of Aphantasia; the inability to form mental images of objects that are not present.

As the founder of The Aphantasia Coaching Academy and a pioneering force in neurodiversity, she is transforming the way coaches approach their neurodivergent clients.

Her unique journey began in 2015 when she discovered that she has aphantasia, a neurological condition that prevents her from visualising images in her mind. This led her to unravel why she had always struggled with coaching practices centred around visualisation, and, more importantly, it sparked the mission to ensure that others like her could reap the transformational benefits of coaching.

With an extensive background in leadership, coaching, women's health and specialising in aphantasia, SDAM, anauralia and alexithymia, she offers a unique perspective on neurodiversity that is backed by personal experience and research.

Karen Falconer is the CEO and driving force behind ANLP International CIC, the world’s most successful independent Association for NLP Professionals. ANLP runs the largest international NLP annual conference.

​Karen brings her vast experience of running successful companies, working with SME businesses as a Management Accountant and her skills as a certified NLP Trainer together to create this book. It gives easy-to-follow, practical advice on how to start, run and grow an efficient, professional NLP-led business.

Since Karen first coined the phrase “NLP Professional” in 2010, it has become widely used inside and outside of the NLP community, to describe those in the NLP field who deliver their services according to the ANLP code of ethics that she wrote and the presuppositions of NLP. Karen has found that many people get into NLP businesses to give back what they received from NLP in the first place…and find it challenging to get financial rewards for their services.

In the NLP Professional, Karen shows that you can have a positive impact delivering NLP and run a successful, professional, efficient and ethical business.

Karen Williams is The Book Mentor. She specialises in working with business owners, entrepreneurs and thought leaders who want to write a non-fiction book who have a story to tell or a message to share and they want this book to build their business, credibility and expert status.

She trained as a coach in 2006 and started Self Discovery Coaching. She then wrote her first book, The Secrets of Successful Coaches, in 2009 whilst undertaking her NLP Master Practitioner qualification.

In this episode we explore how to start, how to structure and how to be creative at the same time during the book writing process. Karen shares her insights after years of learning how to keep it simple so you can avoid overwhelm and enjoy the writing epxperience.

The book mentoring side of her business started to evolve in 2014 when many of her clients asked for her help with their books. She rebranded as Librotas in 2015, and predominantly works with coaches, consultants, trainers and therapists who are writing a business book, self-help guide or memoir.

She works with a great team who help clients go from idea to publication, including planning, writing accountability, managing time and their inner critic, editing and proofreading, design, publishing in both print and eBook, and book launch, marketing and PR support.

This fly-on-the-wall podcast is all about self-reflection, looking behind the scenes and working with boundaries in our coaching businesses. An intimate conversation around the ‘duty’ of being a coach and why it’s important to share our learnings with our audiences. How do we decide what to share exactly? What if we are embarrassed or feel we aren’t perfect? Do we need to show up in a certain way all the time? Coaches can often feel a lot of pressure around this, and so we delve into the realities and Jaimie shares how she addresses that within herself for the benefit of her audience.

The exploration continues around how to manage our own triggers in a healthy way, how implementing boundaries protects both you and your clients and how running an online business can ignite perfectionism and why this can damage our brand.
