This week, Claire Pedrick speaks with Helen Kewell about her book 'Midlife: Stories of Crisis and Growth from the Counselling Room.' They explore the complexities of midlife, including the intersection of aging and personal growth, the impact of menopause, and the societal perceptions of aging.    Helen shares insights from her counseling practice, emphasising the importance of recognising midlife as a time of transformation rather than decline. The discussion also touches on the experiences of men in midlife, the significance of death awareness, and valuable coaching insights for navigating these transitions.   Takeaways The aging process accelerates growth from mid-forties onwards. Midlife is often mischaracterised as a time of deficits. Menopause can be a catalyst for personal change and empowerment. Aging can bring a sense of freedom and authenticity. Visibility and invisibility are significant themes in midlife experiences. Men experience a different kind of invisibility in midlife. Awareness of death can profoundly influence our perspective on life. Coaches should recognize their own midlife transitions in their practice. Normalizing midlife experiences can help clients navigate their journeys. Transition is inherently linked to growth and self-discovery.   Contact Helen through Linked In or by email counselling@kewell.plus.com   Contact Claire by emailing info@3dcoaching.com or checking out her 3D Coaching Supervision Community   If you like this episode, subscribe or follow The Coaching Inn on your podcast platform or our YouTube Channel to hear or see new episodes as they drop.    If you'd like to find out more about 3D Coaching, you can get all our new ideas and offers in our weekly email.    Coming Up:  Claire and Oscar are back with another episode of The Listening Experiment John Blakey will be talking about his new book: Force for Good   Key Words midlife, aging, growth, menopause, coaching, personal development, invisibility, authenticity, death awareness, life transitions, Helen Kewell   We love having a variety of guests join us!

Today Claire Pedrick and Elaine Lin Hering explore the themes of silence and voice within the context of coaching and personal development. Elaine shares her journey from law to leadership development, and the importance of understanding one's relationship with silence. They discuss the costs and benefits of silence, the strategic use of silence, and the impact of unintentional silencing in coaching relationships. The conversation highlights the significance of discovering and using one's voice to lead with courage and authenticity.    Takeaways Coaches must be aware of how they may unintentionally silence clients. Silence can serve as a strategic tool in communication. Cultural and societal expectations shape our relationship with silence. The importance of agency in choosing when to speak or remain silent. Silence can have deep emotional implications and intersects with trauma. Courage is essential but should not replace accountability. Unlearning silence requires collective responsibility. Intersectionality plays a crucial role in how individuals are perceived. Authentic human connection is vital for personal and professional growth. The act of being human should not be a novel idea. Doing personal work is more effective with support from others. We can change the dynamics of communication by being more inclusive. Challenging social norms around silence can lead to deeper understanding.   Here's the book: Unlearning Silence   Find Elaine on LinkedIn    Contact Claire by emailing info@3dcoaching.com or checking out her 3D Coaching Supervision Community   If you like this episode, subscribe or follow The Coaching Inn on your podcast platform or our YouTube Channel to hear or see new episodes as they drop.    If you'd like to find out more about 3D Coaching, you can get all our new ideas and offers in our weekly email.    Coming Up:  Mike Porteus talks about Confidence Centred Coaching   Key Words coaching, silence, voice, leadership, personal journey, communication, self-discovery, agency, unlearning, empowerment, voice, silence, courage, accountability, corporate culture, intersectionality, personal growth, coaching, leadership, human connection  

At today's open table, coaches Kris Thorne, Laun Ruttenburg,  Alun Bedding and Lizzie Rhodes James join Claire Pedrick to think about checking in during coaching sessions.    They discuss the importance of partnership, and delve into the nuances of effective check-ins.    Takeaways Checking in is vital for maintaining partnership in coaching. Effective check-ins should focus on the thinker's progress, not the coach's performance. Checking in during moments of flow enhances the coaching experience. Letting go of control allows for more authentic coaching interactions. Not every moment in a coaching session needs to be transformational. Finding the 'treasure' in coaching requires focused exploration. We're trying to uncover the thing that's going to unlock it. The art is how do I check in without going backwards? Any progress is progress. Be braver in checking in. We need to check in early and facing forwards.   Guests Linked In profiles are above.

Today, Claire Pedrick speaks with Mary Ellen MacDonald about her extensive experience in palliative care and the importance of grief literacy. They discuss the challenges families face after someone dies, the societal stigma surrounding grief, and the need for open conversations about loss. Mary Ellen shares her journey into the field, the development of grief literacy as a concept, and practical tips for engaging in meaningful conversations about grief   The emotional impact of loss is profound and often overlooked.
