COACH - The Professional Coaching Podcast

Sassy Smith is a revolution in the world of personal coaching and, in this episode, we discuss the growing awareness of Aphantasia; the inability to form mental images of objects that are not present.  As the founder of The Aphantasia Coaching Academy and a pioneering force in neurodiversity, she is transforming the way coaches approach their neurodivergent clients. Her unique journey began in 2015 when she discovered that she has aphantasia, a neurological condition that prevents her from visualising images in her mind. This led her to unravel why she had always struggled with coaching practices centred around visualisation, and, more importantly, it sparked the mission to ensure that others like her could reap the transformational benefits of coaching. With an extensive background in leadership, coaching, women's health and  specialising in aphantasia, SDAM, anauralia and alexithymia, she offers a unique perspective on neurodiversity that is backed by personal experience and research.Aphantasia Coaching Academyhttps://www.instagram.com/aphantasiacoachingacademy/

This fly-on-the-wall podcast is all about self-reflection, looking behind the scenes and working with boundaries in our coaching businesses. An intimate conversation around the ‘duty' of being a coach and why it's important to share our learnings with our audiences. How do we decide what to share exactly? What if we are embarrassed or feel we aren't perfect? Do we need to show up in a certain way all the time? Coaches can often feel a lot of pressure around this, and so we delve into the realities and Jaimie shares how she addresses that within herself for the benefit of her audience. The exploration continues around how to manage our own triggers in a healthy way, how implementing boundaries protects both you and your clients and how running an online business can ignite perfectionism and why this can damage our brand.About Jaimie: Jaimie Sarah is an Executive Coach and Marketing Consultant who helps six, seven and eight Figure Experts to Attract and Retain More High Calibre Clients.

Welcome to the latest COACH podcast with Trauma  Specialist, Hypnotherapist and Coach, Ali Smith. She joined me to debunk some of the myths surrounding the topic of trauma and why it's so important to be aware around trauma when working with clients and to understand and process your own trauma. Ali has spent many years on a mission to change her client's definition and perception of trauma. Her own story of surviving a terrorist attack has enabled her to really hold space and compassion for others. Ali uses a trauma informed approach and a polyvagal theory approach to help entrepreneurs create healthy relationships and massive success in their businesses by understanding reframing the dysfunctional patterns created by stress and trauma. In this episode we talk about how trauma can show up and where and what PTSD is and what certain stigmas still remain. We also ask the question around trauma and what it means and why people may think they have never 'had' any trauma. But trauma is about the internal process that occurs which affects and triggers how your nervous system responds. Being able to emotionally regulate is a powerful way to overcome and manage trauma. As a trauma specialist, trainer and inspirational speaker, Ali provides education to coaches, business leaders and organisations on this hugely misunderstood subject.

Why do successful entrepreneurs reach a point of overwhelm and what are the first steps to moving forward?Kate gives us her insight into why business owners can hit a ceiling and a feeling of exhaustion, even when they're reaching the point of seeing real success. How can you manage the overwhelm and being on that brink of growth where you wonder 'Can I really do this?' all the time. When you feel frazzled, the constant self talk and 'mind monkeys' rise up, this can be exactly the time to look to grow and expand and let the old stories and the old version of you go.Self-doubt and sabotage are big players when it's time to uplevel and it doesn't have to stay this way as there is no creativity without vulnerability. This vulnerabilty can cause feelings of exposure that can make you feel exhausted and you might feel like it's falling apart when it's really coming together!What's the balance between being self-led and needing leadership from others?How important is it to implement your self-care and use your energy wisely?All this and more as I discuss and debate with Kate and shine the light for women to move forward and rise up to meet their own dreams. Kate Davis is a business leadership mentor, an ICF certified coach, a business architect and change manager with 25 years of experience in mentoring and leading teams.https://www.katedavis.nethttps://www.facebook.com/katedaviscoachhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/katedaviscoach/Your Host, Teresa Brooks is a transformational Business & Mindset coach and founder of COACH Magazine & Podcast.

Through this she learnt the power of connection through story as she connected with all kinds of different people.From here, she grew a super successful business but  a coach, businesswoman and human she knew she needed to set herself free from some of her own blocks and she set about recreating herself and diving deeper into changework. Through this, she discovered  how to really help others to fully tell their story and overcome their blocks to success.Why do we not tell our stories? Why are we holding back? What is it that stops us? Then many things start to come up and block the flow of this.

In this podcast, Modern Day Shaman, Sarah Negus, talks about what energy really is and how it can be harnessed in a really powerful way to enable your success. She shares how her life as a child was so different as she could always 'see' the universe. She thought this was normal until she realised others couldn't see what she did. She then stifled this until she was older and a series of events and near death experiences helped her to re-discover and embrace her spiritual side. Modern day shamanism is the marrying of traditional shamanism and modern psychology.Your beliefs, behaviour, emotions and thoughts are all power signals to the Universe. The life you live will be a reflection of who you are inside. You are the creator of your world.You can try to hide behind a facade of smiles and success  but if you're fighting what needs attention on the inside, the Universe will let you know, often in very unpleasant ways.Been there when the Universe ‘bumps' you, done it over and over again, so you don't have to.Sarah helps to shine light on the dark parts you've hidden, so that you can acknowledge them, heal or lighten them, and then, move beyond them. In doing so, you rewrite the unconscious story you play throughout each day.

White privilege - An emotive and powerful subject which is often  misunderstood,  ignored or denied by white people. Ignorance is no defence.For generations this has been the case. What happened to George Floyd made us all face the unavoidable mirror of white privilege - but this is not a new thing.So why does it take having to see the horrific murder of a black man in front of our eyes to have this impact on some?  Now is the time to have the uncomfortable conversations, to really do the work to understand this born privilege and what it means and alos the actions we can take to be actively anti-racist. The #blacklivesmatter movement can be misperceived and misunderstood by white people and this is the live example of the ignorance and the unconscious bias that exists in all of us. We need to confront this and dig deep to raise our awareness around this. Ruth Kudzi is an ICF Accredited Coach , a former Deputy Head teacher and a white woman married to a black man with two young children of mixed heritage. She is not racist yet she is very aware that she is a white privileged woman, as am I, and as coaches, we are aware of unconscious bias within all of us. Until we raise the awareness and until we speak and confront difficult and painful situations, we cannot change. This is what coaching is about, awareness and then change. Ruth is passionate about this and so I invited her to have this conversation with me on the podcast, for us to be accountable - knowing we may possibly get it wrong, knowing that it's not going to be good enough but also knowing that we have a space and a voice to confront and admit this to ourselves too - and it's our duty to use this and to urge others to do the same in the name of healing, respect and a better way forward for everyoneThe coaching space is a very white dominated space too and I, for one, want to see this change and actively champion diversity in COACH. The industry also has a lot of power to influence and so we now must step up and embrace this on a deep, personal level and then seek to actively change and raise awareness in our businesses, lives and in every space where we see opportunity for change. Ruth Kudzi is a qualified ICF Coach, mentor and best-selling author. She holds an MA in Psychology and at PGCE in Business.ruthkudzi.com
