Live from San Diego | Coffee and Conversations Podcast with Donald E. Coleman
In this powerful special edition of Coffee and Conversations, recorded live at the ICF Global Converge 2025 Conference in San Diego, host Donald E. Coleman welcomes Lyssa deHart, MCC, renowned coach educator, author of Light Up: The Science of Coaching with Metaphors, and a leading voice in the neuroscience of coaching and language.
From the moment they sat down, Donald sensed something extraordinary was about to unfold—and it did. What followed was not just an interview, but what he now calls a divine moment in coaching.
Together, they explore Lyssa’s breakout session, Coaching with Metaphors: The Science of Language, Listening, and Embodied Experience in Coaching, and unpack her deep observation around “the theme of this year’s conference is language.” The conversation moves seamlessly through topics like the neuroscience of metaphor, deep listening, embodied awareness, and the sacred space that emerges in silence.
