    02: Presence, Self-Care and Reflective Practice
    Apr 1 2024
    In this episode, Dr. Natalie Lancer and her guests, Anthony Eldridge-Rogers, Maria Iliffe-Wood, and Dr. Iain McCormick, explore the significance of self-care, presence, and reflective practice in coaching psychology. They discuss the role of self-care in managing the challenges coaches face. The conversation highlights the importance of meaning-centred coaching and the impact of coaching presence on creating a nurturing environment for clients as well as coaches. Reflective practice is also examined as a tool for professional development. We explore: What is self-care, presence, and reflective practice and how are they linked?What’s the relationship between reflective practice and supervision?What is the significance of working with meaning for both clients and coaches?What is whole-person coaching?How can self-care help coaches build strong, co-created relationships with clients?How can we ensure that we are role-modelling self-care to our clients?How can we further develop our ability to be present to our clients?How can we counteract negative self-talk and ‘heroic thinking’ in order to be a better coach?What does the research say on the effectiveness of reflective practice? In this conversation we ask what self-care, presence, and reflective practice mean practically for both the coach and the coachee, and the impact that they have on coaching outcomes. Furthermore, we can consider self-care, presence, and reflective practice as tools for professional development, self-improvement for our own well-being and as part of a duty of care to our clients.

    01: Realities of running or working for a coaching business
    Mar 1 2024
    In this episode Dr Natalie Lancer, with Professor Jonathan Passmore, Xenia Angevin and Kaveh Mir, discuss the realities of running your own coaching practice or working for a large, digital coaching platform. We cover the fundamental questions to help you consider how to find your clients, decide on a niche and philosophy and tap into different coaching markets. We explore: • What counts more: coach expertise or experience? • How can coaches be tactical and strategic when navigating the gig economy of coaching? • How do you develop your own unique coaching identity in a business context? • What do you want your day-to-day coaching life to look like? • How has coaching evolved to where we are in the current coaching marketplace? • What can a coach earn, as a novice or an expert, working for a large digital platform? • How do you choose whether you want to work for a digital provider and which one? • What are the selection criteria for coaches that digital platforms use? • What are the benefits and constraints when working with a digital coaching provider? • What are the different roles a coaching psychologist can adopt as part of their portfolio? • How can coaching become more inclusive as a profession? • Why is coaching psychology a good second career? The digital coaching landscape is evolving and has arguably transformed coaching from a ‘cottage industry’ to a global, scalable enterprise. We query whether coaching education needs to be updated and how coaching standards can be maintained and measured to reflect this new context.

    10: Coaching in Sport
    Dec 1 2023

    The final episode of Season 2 of The Coaching Psychology Pod is split into two parts. Host Dr Natalie Lancer discusses coaching in sport with Dr. Angela Mouton, Dr. Matt Dubin and Ben Davies. In Part 1 Angela and Matt delve into their interest in coaching, the role of positive psychology, and their research, exploring the concept of 'flow' and its impact on peak performance. In Part 2, Ben elaborates on Prof. Steve Peters’ Chimp Model, providing insight into how the mind works so that athletes and all human beings can better overcome the issues and challenges we face, in order to improve our experience of life and our day to day interactions. We explore:

    • What is the role of positive psychology in coaching for peak performance?
    • What is the Chimp Model and how can it be used?
    • Why is flow important for athletes, in daily life, the workplace and other non-sporting contexts?
    • How can you coach towards creating the optimum conditions for flow?
    • What are the strongest predictors of peak performance in sport?
    • How can you work with both athletes and coaches to achieve the best results?
    • How does coaching the ‘whole person’ lead to better performance on the field or court?
    • What are the main barriers people have when trying to find their zone of peak performance?
    • How can coaching psychologists help people work out what is in their control, and to work with and stick to their strategies?
    • What can enhance or derail someone’s sporting experience?
    • How can we develop a personalised plan to handle the unexpected?

    The panellists share their research on attention control, the importance of focusing on one task at a time and the balance between challenge and skill in achieving flow. They also discuss areas of future research. Furthermore, they examine the usefulness of applying sporting analogies in non-sporting contexts including business, the army and the NHS. Our guests today are:

She was a Positive Organisational Psychology doctoral student of Dr Mihalyi Csikszentmihalyi at Claremont Graduate University and publishes her research on hope and flow in peer reviewed journals.

    Dr Matt Dubin is an Organisational Psychologist and a Culture and Leadership Development expert who uses the concept of flow to facilitate the development and transformation of people and business.
