Hannah is a Frailty GP, A Lifestyle Medic and Coach, a New to GP Coach and Mentor, a Medical Student Tutor, and also offers coaching to those experiencing pregnancy loss, holding a safe space for them and helping them to find a way t...

Episode 115: What do coaching doctors do after completing the Doctors’ Transformational Coaching Diploma?
We often get asked how doctors use their new coaching skills once they’ve completed our Transformational Coaching Diploma programme. This is obviously a question that our coaching doctors have the opportunity to explore for themselves in advance, of completing the programme, as they receive coaching throughout the course. There is plenty of time for them to consider what the future holds for them and what direction they might go in. With over 300 doctors having completed our diploma we have a good range of coaching doctors who have let us know what...

Episode 114: Challenges in Coaching: When is a law not a law? Is a certain amount of stress good for you? Definitely! Is there a point at which the amount of stress becomes detrimental? Most certainly! Is there a law, a model, or a formula that tells us how much stress is too much? Contrary to popular opinion, probably not!

Episode 112: Topic: Leadership Coaching Part 1
If you’ve coached an individual within the NHS there is a good chance that you have been called upon to have a conversation around leadership. Not necessarily about the mechanics of the leadership role but perhaps around how the coachee shows up and how they interact with other people. Leadership presents itself throughout organisations and often those without a defined leadership role are taking responsibility for heading up certain initiatives or leading on certain aspects of the culture. Tom has been coaching leaders for 15 years and has f...

Episode 110: Coaching Topics: Difficult Conversations - Why do we avoid them?
Your coachees may tell you about a sticky situation or problematic people that they have in their lives, and talk about the stress that this is causing them. Often, one of the options that the coachee has to help resolve the issue is to have a conversation with someone else involved, but they may be avoiding this option. Understanding why a coachee might be choosing not to have what they might perceive as a difficult conversation is useful and may help you to facilitate the coachee’s thinking. This may well result in them deciding to have a...

If you listened to Episode 108 you will have heard Tom discussing the ways in which we might show up in the coaching room. Tom made the point that an approach of judgement might be an easy way for us to show up in our coaching , but perhaps love might be a more useful way to be in order to draw out the real coachee sitting before us. Well, one podcast episode didn’t provide Tom with enough space to consider the fact that often either the coach or the coachee could show...

Just to avoid any confusion, we are not addressing the topics of romantic love, sexual attraction or attachment in the coaching room in this episode, although they might crop up in a future episode. Tom is on his own for this podcast and is offering some reflections on how we might show up as a coach. It would be very easy for us to show up in judgement of our coachees and to prove our worth by pointing out the error of their ways. We’re the experts after all. We know what’s what.

To borrow some words from a famous philosopher, ‘No coachee is an island’. We all exist within some kind of system, whether it’s in the workplace, within our social lives, or within a family. In the coaching room there will always be influences and echoes of the coachee’s system as they talk through their situation, their experiences and their desired outcomes. In Gestalt we talk about the contact boundary, where we meet our environment and where our environment meets us, and there is a constant interplay between the two. One cannot...

Episode 53: Coaching Topics – Motivation
On our podcast we regularly explore the topics that coachees might bring to a coaching conversation. One such topic that shows up a lot in our coaching is motivation or, more specifically, a lack of it. Coachees are often asking how they can feel more motivated, or how we can motivate them. What we often find is that those same coachees who are struggling with their motivation will provide us with evidence of actions that they do feel motivated to take. Sometimes uncovering the motivation they say the...

Episode 52: Coaching Approaches: Using Metaphors In Coaching
Metaphors are an aspect of language that most of us will happily use until the cows come home. However, because we are so used to building metaphor into our speech it passes us by, uncovered, and we are denied the lightbulb moments that might guide us if we were to wake up and smell the coffee. In this episode, we serve up a way of plucking metaphors from a coachee’s language and putting them under the microscope, thus adding colour to our coaching tapestry. This may allow our coachees to mine a rich vein of a...

If you’re a regular listener to our podcast you will have noticed that we regularly discuss how we might deal with different topics that show up in the coaching room.

Coachees may not always come to coaching asking for support on finding meaningful purpose, but often they’ll talk about feeling stuck, feeling lost, or feeling as though they’re in a bit of a rut. At these times a conversation around what their purpose is and what is meaningful to them can encourag...

Following on from our episode about neuroscience in coaching in this episode we focus on the SCARF model, which has its origins in social neuroscience. SCARF was developed as a model by leadership expert David Rock and helps us to focus our attention on an organising principle in the brain; to minimise threat and maximise reward. Rock’s assertion is that this principle leads us to move away from threat and move towards reward. Furthermore Rock identifies five domains that produce either a threat or reward response in individuals within any social group, A...

Coaching is so often seen as an intervention that supports the achievement of goals, and in this podcast we would like to challenge this belief.
