How do we re-imagine what we are as a species so that we become a life-fostering collective? And how can we foster change in the face of the developmental challenges we face?

Fostering Growth-oriented Organisational Cultures

Our global reality is that organizations will decide whether or not humanity can shift enough to avoid planetary disaster, more so than politicians.

Healing Collective Trauma

Trauma is the water we are swimming in. Like fish, we are largely unaware of the hidden effects of ancestral and collective trauma on our personal lives, careers and cultural and political realities.

As we live into these unprecedented times of rapid change, what’s the best acupuncture point to assist our clients in adapting or even thriving?

Deep Coaching & the Monasticization of Daily Life

episode 69 | Nov 11, 2020 | 58min
More and more, coaching is moving towards being a holistic practice. Learning to hold a business perspective as well as somatic, spiritual and mental perspectives allows for the creation of a truly all-encompassing container for growth. In this conversation with transformational coach Dave Burns, we talk about the business and mystery of coaching, blending insight and somatic intuition and how the monasticization of daily life is a powerful tool.

4 Essential Leadership Mindsets and How to Shift into Them

episode 68 | Oct 30, 2020 | 72min
We have never need radical change as much as we do right now. At this pivotal point in human history, how can we help leaders open to the intimate work of inner and relational presence as a transformational tool? In this conversation with Karim Hirani, Global Head of Quality and Design for BTS Coach, we explore the BTS framework for working with mindset shifts, the steps to embodied change and how to help leaders embrace inner work.

Systemic and Trauma Sensitive Coaching

episode 67 | Oct 24, 2020 | 69min
The primary buffer between stress and trauma is agency. Now more than ever, it matters where we place our attention. But how do we balance attention to self and attention to the world and our role in it in this time of personal and collective crisis? In this conversation with coach and consultant Hetty Einzig we discuss trauma dynamics and resilience, the role of systems thinking in these times, and the two key types of existential crisis and the growth they foster.

How I Upleveled My Coaching Business

episode 66 | Oct 12, 2020 | 64min
Does this sound familiar: you know who your ideal client is and you know how to sell but something still doesn’t feel as easeful or enlivening about your coaching practice as you imagine it could? In this conversation with strategic coach Linda Ford, we explore what it means to coach at your personal edge, how to enrol clients who are a Yes to working at that edge, and the adaptive strategies that each of us have that can get in the way of us enrolling our ideal clients.

A Time Between Worlds

episode 65 | Oct 2, 2020 | 77min
In this pivotal moment in humanity’s history, where the old structures are falling apart, how do we orient ourselves? What guidance is available to us, and how can we help people return to an inner source of wisdom? In this conversation with educator and futurist Zak Stein we explore the deeper layers of collapse that are occurring, the socialisation and destruction of civil communication engendered by social media and how we need to adopt a different myth to lead us forward.

The Realization Process

episode 64 | Jul 31, 2020 | 67min
For millennia the wisdom keepers of various traditions have espoused the merit of awakening - of realizing our true nature - generally through shunning the body. But what if awakening could happen through the body? In this episode with Judith Blackstone, a somatic psychotherapist and nondual teacher, we look at how trauma-release can go hand in hand with spiritual awakening, how subtle sensing forges connection and healing, and how we as coaches can tune into our client’s experience without needing to feel it in our own bodies.

The Poetic Mind & Coaching

episode 63 | Jul 20, 2020 | 73min
Could the way out of the global crisis be rooted in a change of perception? The rational mind has failed to provide coherent change; might it be time to shift the way we perceive, experience and interact with the world? In this conversation with poet and performer Brooke McNamara we explore what art can teach us about living in the present, why poetic perception is necessary in these times, and the importance of the unseen in fostering creative emergence.
