This year we launched our Advanced Transformational Coaching Diploma programme and we’re now into our fourth iteration of the course. Although the Advanced Diploma programme is just for the graduates of our initial diploma programme, we thought it was worth letting our listeners know how they might move on with their learning once they have completed their first coaching training course with us.

So, if you’ve studied with us in the past, are doing so currently or have an idea that you might wish to in the future, then this podcast episode is well worth a listen, to gain a flavour of what the advanced course entails and an understanding of why we have developed this additional learning.

So, you’ve learnt to coach, you’ve got some tools and techniques under your belt, and you have some experience of coaching. You are putting your coaching offer out there to the world and ready to take on clients. But what does your coaching look like? Do you take an emergent approach to your coaching or do you have a structured coaching programme to offer to potential clients.

Whilst Tom is a very emergent coach, Helen offers a more organised approach to coaching out to the world in the form of a coaching programme. In this episode we share our thoughts on the benefits and possible pitfalls of having a coaching programme and what needs to be considered when putting one together.

How do you see yourself as a coach? A newbie? Experienced? Professional?

However you see yourself, it is likely that your coachees see you in a way that makes sense for them. And whilst there may be some crossover in your perceptions, there may well be some differences. And with those differences may come differing expectations, or even challenges to look out for.

Tom recently saw an article about how coachees might perceive their coach, and thought it would be an interesting conversation to share with you all. So listen in as we explore some interesting, and occasionally odd ideas about how we might be seen as coaches.

Coaching is not something that can be learned by reading or talking about it. Coaching is not something that can be learned by us telling you how it is done, or even demonstrating it for you. Coaching is a practice and it takes practice to become a competent and confident coach.

It’s also important that you receive regular feedback on your coaching. This will help you to improve your awareness of what you’re doing in the coaching room; both what you are doing well and where you can improve.

In this episode we are talking about our coaching practice groups, what they entail and why you might want to come along, whether you are new to our coaching programme, or took part in one of our earliest cohorts.

Keep an eye out for our emails telling you when our next co-coaching practice groups are happening.

This week we are at the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine’s annual conference in Brighton: Cue noisy seagulls.

This is our third year at the event and it’s wonderful to meet so many doctors and other professionals who are wishing to make a difference by helping people bring about changes in their lives, health, and wellbeing using a Lifestyle Medicine approach.

In this episode we thought we would privide a quick explanation as to why we are here in Brighton, and why our Doctors’ Transformational Coaching Diploma fits so well with a Lifestyle Medicine approach.

Is the universe conspiring to bring us what we want in our lives?

Probably not!

Are we able to focus our attention so that we notice previously unnoticed objects and information.

Most certainly!

Does the Reticular Activating System guide our attention to the elements that are important for our lives.

Contrary to popular opinion, absolutely not!

In this episode Tom airs his frustrations about an often referred to part of the brain called the Ascending Reticular Activating System, or the RAS for short. This brain region that sits in the brain stem does have an important function when it comes to attention, but it’s often interpreted as a completely different function. We discuss the RAS, what it actually does for us and what people tend to suggest that it is doing, even though the neuroscience doesn’t back this up.

Tom loves a juicy bit of neuroscience, but does become slightly irritated by neuro-nonsense, so likes to set the record straight where he can.

Join us for this fascinating exploration of an important part of the brain, its function and the myth that is attributed to it.

Having different internal parts of our psyche has been provoking interest in great thinkers for thousands of years. The Greeks and the Romans had the theory of us all having different humours

Freud had his id, ego and superego, and psychologists ever since have been playing with different theories about the different parts that we may possess and how best to integrate them into our overall identity.

In this episode we explore what Parts Work is, the journey that it has travelled over the last 50 years and the different ways in which we might approach the concept.

Tom has been working with his own version of Parts Work for a decade now, so has an interest in shedding some light on the topic.

Join Tom for this short solo episode of the podcast where he will be revealing his own thinking on the subject of parts in coaching,
