The Action AddictsEp95 - Scott Pilgrim vs The World (2010) with Simon FeilderToday we are joined by Simon Feilder from fellow action movie podcast Dodge This. We look back on the 2010 movie Scott Pilgrim vs The World, a zany and wacky flick from Edgar Wright based on the graphic novel of the same name. A stellar cast, fantastic fight scenes from Brad Allen backed up by some great visual effects. This movie may be 16 years old but it still feels very relevant and modern.Action Addicts Links: https://linktr.ee/actionaddicts Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Edgy IdeasThe State of Coaching Today with Liz HallIn this episode, Liz Hall draws on her experience of editing 'Coaching at Work' journal to reflect on the state of coaching today. Liz shares how she believes coaching is thriving for two key reasons
First, the demand on managers increasingly means they need a reflective space, and support to help them navigate the emotional and relational people side of the work, and the intensity of work demands upon them.
Second, Liz blurs the boundaries between coaching and therapy and believes that coaching provides important support to people who would not necessarily go to therapy.
