Master Certified Coach Don Maruska reveals a revolutionary approach that transforms climate action from a fear-driven burden into an energizing opportunity aligned with what people naturally love doing.Drawing from his book "Solve Climate Change Now: Do What You Love for a Healthy Planet," Maruska explains why traditional climate messaging often fails: fear works only as a short-term motivator before leading to burnout. Instead, he offers a coach-centered "attraction model" that helps clients identify their unique "climate sweet spot" – where personal passion meets meaningful environmental impact.The conversation explores Maruska's Triple A framework (Awareness, Action, and Advocacy) that accommodates different personality types and preferences. Some individuals thrive in direct action like community gardening, while others excel at boosting awareness or advocating for policy change. The beauty lies in starting anywhere within this circle – one engagement naturally leads to expanding interests across all three domains.Maruska directly addresses a common coaching dilemma: should we bring up climate issues if clients don't explicitly request them? He makes a compelling case that raising climate consciousness serves clients' best interests by helping them meet growing consumer expectations, boost employee engagement, and align with younger generations' values. Far from imposing an agenda, climate coaching represents a strategic advantage worth exploring.Most encouraging is Maruska's emphasis on how individual actions multiply. Research shows social movements need only 3.5-25% participation to create tipping points, and simple daily choices around food waste and transportation can collectively save billions of pounds of greenhouse gases. As he wisely notes, "We can't wait for leaders to start the parade – we need to start marching so they'll run to the front."Ready to transform how you approach climate conversations with clients?

Send us a textThe climate crisis represents humanity's greatest challenge—but how can professional coaches contribute to solutions? In this revealing conversation, we explore the groundbreaking work of the Climate Coaching Alliance (CCA), a volunteer-driven global movement transforming how coaches approach environmental consciousness.Joining us are Alison Maitland, leadership and inclusion coach focused on helping leaders address society's biggest challenges, and Eve Turner, one of the CCA's co-founders. Together, they share the remarkable story of how a small group of committed coaches launched a movement that now spans continents, languages, and coaching specialties.The discussion tackles a fundamental question many coaches struggle with: how do we ethically incorporate climate awareness without imposing our agenda on clients? As Eve explains, "We're not just coaches—we're human beings," and this work requires us to examine our role in either maintaining or transforming existing systems. Alison adds powerful perspective on working with climate-related emotions: "The deeper the emotions, the more evidence that people care, how much they love the earth."You'll discover practical approaches for bringing climate consciousness into your coaching practice, from chemistry sessions to values discussions. Learn about the wealth of resources available through the CCA, including communities in multiple languages, special interest groups, and their comprehensive guidebook filled with exercises, questions, and stories from coaches worldwide.Perhaps most compelling is the connection between planetary transformation and personal transformation. Climate coaching isn't just about external challenges—it involves deep inner work. As coaches develop their capacity to hold space for difficult emotions like grief and anxiety, they simultaneously help clients navigate our changing world with resilience and purpose.Whether you're already engaged in climate work or just beginning to explore its relevance to coaching, this conversation offers valuable insights, practical resources, and an open invitation to join a supportive community making a meaningful difference.Watch the full interview by clicking here.Find the full article here.Learn more about Alison here.Learn more about Eve here.You can join the Climate Coaching Alliance.You can purchase the book Ecological and Climate here and use this 20% coupon code 25AFLY1.There are 13 professional coaching, supervision, mentoring and coaching psychology bodies and communities who have signed up the joint statement on the ecological and climate crisis, they can find out more here.Here is a link to an amazing short poem by American poet and climate activist, Drew Dellinger, sent to music and words by Bioneers.  Grab your free issue of choice Magazine here - https://choice-online.com

The podcast "REJUVENAGING with Dr. Ron Kaiser" welcomed Alexandra Arnold, a climate coach and graduate from the Climate Change Coaches Training Program. Dr. Ron Kaiser was intrigued by climate coaching due to the increasing anxiety and concerns people have about climate change, something he hadn't encountered in his work until recently. Alex shared her journey into climate coaching, explaining that it combines her passion for the environment with her coaching skills rooted in positive psychology.Alex's interest in climate coaching was sparked when she realized that she didn't have to conform to traditional climate activism but could leverage her strengths and values to make a different type of meaningful contribution. She discovered the Climate Coaching Alliance, became a member, and enrolled in a climate change coach training program.Dr. Ron asked about the specific role of a climate change coach. Alex explained that climate coaches support individuals and organizations in various ways, such as:Helping activists deal with burnout and emotional responses to climate change.Assisting people in processing complex emotions related to climate change, including anxiety, despair, and grief.Collaboratively exploring clients' strengths, values, and areas of interest for taking climate action.Shifting mindsets to promote resilience and adaptability in the face of climate-related uncertainty.Alex noted that climate anxiety is a complex issue with no easy answers. People can be jolted into awareness by climate-related events like floods or storms. However, the emotional responses to climate change are diverse and multifaceted, making it challenging to generalize. People may experience sadness, despair, hopelessness, shame, guilt, fear and grief in regard to climate change, in addition to anxiety - and each new event can have an additive emotional effect.The discussion concluded with an exploration of how some individuals respond to climate anxiety by becoming advocates or participating in climate-focused organizations. Alex emphasized that these individuals may experience post-traumatic growth, using their concerns as motivation for proactive engagement in climate action. Climate coaching helps individuals navigate their unique emotional responses and find ways to contribute positively to the cause. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

„I was born to mediate” as a fellow mediator made me clear about this many years ago. Consequently and since 2008 I've been working as an internationally certified Commercial Mediator (2008), Environmental Mediator (2019) Mediation and Management Trainer and Mediation Supervisor (DACH) and as Business (Team) Coach (2011 | ICF PCC / EMCC Senior Practitioner). Apart from that I'm a spokeswoman of the Professional group of mediators for Poland (D A CH), a co-founder and chairwoman of the Researcher Group for Mediation, the same in the International Network of Elder Mediation, and member of the editor's board of the journal “Perspektive Mediation”. I'm passionate about nature and climate, too. That's why I'm delighted to be a certified Climate and Biodiversity Coach (2021). Climate business coaching enables leaders and their organizations to become more congruent in their leadership, their business strategy and in their impact on a sustainable business culture beyond legal requirements. In all these roles I love to work with leaders and teams who are willing to personally develop, to really make time for this and do it long term and sustainable. Executives and leaders, change makers, who take whatever it takes to change, willing to leave their comfort zone and take a fresh perspective and widen your horizon, appreciative honesty, people who want to look on a macro level, taking a broad systemic perspective have the most fun while working with me. I'm an expert connector and collector, my contribution to your development is my appreciative boldness, my gift to disentangle, to look with you from above, gardener. From the more formal perspective I hold a Master of Law and Administration from the University of Szczecin / Poland (2001) and a PhD in Law from the University of Rostock / Germany (2006), publish since 1996 and am eager to learn.

Pourquoi faire appel à un coach et quel coach choisir ? Dans cet épisode, Andra Morosi nous partage les grandes étapes de son parcours professionnel et personnel, qui l'ont amenée à se réinventer et à s'engager pour la transition écologique. Avec profondeur et légèreté, elle explique comment et pourquoi elle commence une collaboration avec ses clients. Elle revient également sur son engagement pour valoriser la profession de “coach” - souvent décriée. Pour elle, les coachs sont avant tout des accompagnants du changement, mais aussi des “thinking partners”, voire des agitateurs de conscience, des partenaires de réflexion qui aident à assumer ses propres choix. Petite, elle rêvait de devenir comédienne, comme sa mère, animée par le fait d'explorer la multiplicité d'être(s). Aujourd'hui, Andra Morosi a de nombreuses casquettes - ou de nombreux rôles, comme elle aime à les appeler. Elle est à la fois, depuis 2009, coach de dirigeants au sein de son cabinet International Milestones, mais aussi superviseure de coachs au sein de la Faculté Coaching Supervision Academy Ltd.En 2020, suite aux feux qui ont ravagé l'Australie, une rencontre inspirante et l'absence de contact avec la nature liée à la pandémie, elle a fondé la communauté Francophone de la Climate Coaching Alliance, un mouvement international de coachs engagés qui oeuvre à faire évoluer la société sur les enjeux de la transition. Elle est également la co-fondatrice de Seedlings, l'entreprise à mission dédiée à l'accompagnement des dirigeants, des équipes et des organisations dans leur transformation vers une économie régénérative.Normande d'adoption, elle vit à la campagne et expérimente la permaculture au quotidien, c'est-à-dire, le fait de vivre dans un écosystème harmonieux, autonome et nourri d'interdépendances, producteur et respectueux de tous les êtres vivants.

For me, all my work is about “not business as usual”, because I think I'm conscious of the challenges of supporting a system that I think is broken.  Join coach, supervisor and author, Eve Turner, in conversation with Yannick Jacob as they explore the role of coaching supervision. In this wide-ranging discussion, Eve and Yannick explore: The role of coaching supervisionUsing recorded sessionsClarifying supervisionThe three functions of supervisionTechniques for generating supervisory awarenessReflective practice skillsThe importance of the contract in coachingTime To Think supervisionBringing the system into the roomMaking supervision funClimate and ecological-crisis coachingWhat is transformation in coaching  About Eve Turner Eve has had three careers, in music, broadcasting and now coaching and supervision.  She sees their links through her interest in communication, collaboration and interrelationships.   As a classical guitarist and then a willing, if not very able, orchestral conductor, Eve learned how the whole can be so much more than the sum of the parts and how the quality of the communication and relationships affected the outcome.     She was a journalist, senior leader and internal coach in the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) before setting up her own practice.  Eve has won many awards for her research, writing, coaching and supervision.   She does extensive volunteering alongside a busy practice: this includes co-founding and being part of the coordinating group for the Climate Coaching Alliance, founding and co-leading the Global Supervisors' Network, and as immediate past chair of the coaching and supervision professional body APECS, and volunteering for the AC and EMCC.     Eve's books include ‘Ecological and Climate-conscious Coaching: A Companion Guide to Evolving Coaching Practice' (2023) co-edited with the late Alison Whybrow, Josie McLean and Peter Hawkins, ‘The Ethical Coaches' Handbook' (2023) co-edited with Wendy-Ann Smith, Jonathan Passmore, Yi-Ling Lai and David Clutterbuck, ‘Systemic Coaching'(2020) with Peter Hawkins, and ‘The Heart of Coaching Supervision – Working with Reflection and Self-care' (2019) co-edited with Stephen Palmer.

In loving memory of Alison Whybrow, co-founder of the Climate Coaching Alliance. This episode is dedicated to Alison, for being an inspiring, kind, loving, generous and courageous role model. Her passion for our living Earth is an important legacy which she has left behind to shape how coaching can transform the ecological crisis through regeneration. In this episode we explore ‘How do coaches work with nature?' with Professor Peter Hawkins, Anna-Marie Watson, Karen Finn and Elsa Valdivielso Martínez. We discuss how the growing interest in bringing the natural world into our coaching conversations is impacting coaching by asking: Is coaching with nature the latest fad? What do we mean by ‘coaching with nature'? Why are we drawn as coaches and coachees to working with nature? What does it mean to be a student of nature as a coach? How can we turn nature's obstacles, such as inclement weather, into coaching opportunities? How can coaching with nature grow our capacity to deal with the unexpected? How do we let nature and the wider ecology into our coaching? Learn what is involved in coaching with nature from our panel of experts in this episode: Peter Hawkins is Emeritus Professor of Leadership at Henley Business School and founder and Chairman of Renewal Associates.  He is a leading consultant, writer and researcher in leadership and leadership development and an international thought leader in executive teams and systemic team coaching.    Anna-Marie Watson is a certified Performance Coach and Coach Supervisor who loves to escape the confines of four walls and take conversations into nature.

After finishing college, Grattan went to Australia for a year and returned home 12 years later. He lived and worked in Taiwan for 8 years, where he studied Chinese, taught English and eventually set up his own business. He also travelled extensively in South East Asia; often for months at a time.Returning to Ireland in 1998 he bought a training franchise, specialising in leadership and management development. Qualifying as an Executive & Business Coach in 2006 was a natural progression. Coaching also  re-ignited his passion for learning, which was all but extinguished by his 17 years in the formal education system.In 2007 he attended his first coaching event, a talk by Sir John Whitmore, one of the founding fathers of coaching. Sir John articulated three ‘provocations':•      Consumerism (more and more) is not compatible with sustainability (less)•      Quantitative technical advance is way ahead of Qualitative wisdom (our technical capability is way beyond our wisdom in how to use that technology•      Hierarchy is in decay and must be replaced by self-responsibilityHearing these provocations articulated with such clarity, lit a spark in Grattan which still burns to this day.In 2010 after suffering burnout, mindfulness found him. Recognising how beneficial mindfulness was for him personally, he joined Potential Project. With these global leaders in corporate mindfulness, over the next 6 years he trained mindfulness to thousands of people in organisations.Grattan believes we all know there are better ways we could be living and working. Better for our wellbeing. For our loved ones. Our organisations. Our communities. Our planet. If only we weren't too busy to explore them.He invites his clients to step back from the ‘busyness' of their lives and identify what is truly important.He is most interested to work with people who want to be the best FOR the world. People who want to step into their power, and work with the biggest challenges facing humanity - the climate, biodiversity and environmental crises. People who want to contribute to a better world; not just for humanity but also for the more-than-human world.As a Regenerative Leadership Coach, he supports clients to do their own inner transformational work first. When they do, they are best equipped for the challenges of working with these existential threats.He facilitates mission-driven teams and purpose-led organisations. He helps them develop and grow their collective wisdom, and work in ways that contribute to the healing of the planet.  He has pioneered Walk-and-Talk coaching sessions in nature for more than 10 years and virtual Walk-and-Talk sessions since the pandemic began.Integrating neuroscience, mindfulness and nature practices with indigenous wisdom, opens people up to different ways of sensing, feeling, thinking, doing, AND Being.

BIO: Rashmi Shetty is a Voice and Attitudinal Coach and a Professional Certified Coach from ICF. She brings decades of work experience in various sectors such as academia, hospitality, storytelling, consulting, coaching, radio anchoring, and emceeing. STORY: As a shy young lady in college, Rashmi decided to try out for the Union council secretary, but when it was time to deliver her campaign speech, she froze. The whole school booed her. This event was so embarrassing, and she carried this burden for years only to find out recently that nobody really thought much about it after the elections. LEARNING: People are a lot less interested in you than you think they are. Everyone has their own life to look into, and you’re the last on that list. So just chill, make or break those failures, learn from them and move on.   “The moment you start giving external validation importance, you stop looking inward.” Rashmi Shetty   Guest profilehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/rashmishettyattitudinalcoach/ (Rashmi Shetty) is a Voice and Attitudinal Coach and a Professional Certified Coach from ICF. She brings decades of work experience in various sectors such as academia, hospitality, storytelling, consulting, coaching, radio anchoring, and emceeing. A keynote and motivational speaker, she believes, “Your ATTITUDE decides your ALTITUDE.” A national and international award winner for scripting and narrating radio documentaries, she was honored with the “Iconic woman creating a better world for all” award in July 2020 from the Women Economic Forum and is also an active member of a global body called Climate Coaching Alliance. Worst investment everWhen Rashmi was young, she was super shy. She could barely talk in front of more than one person. She did not know how to get over her shyness. Forgetting about her shyness for a minuteWhen Rashmi was in her final year of graduation, the Union at her college was up for election. Being who she was, she did not even aspire to take a position. She was surprised when one of her classmates, a class representative, suggested that Rashmi nominate herself for secretary. This was the most coveted position in the Union. Rashmi forgot just how shy she was and jumped right into the idea. They went and filed the nomination forms, and later she wrote her speech. She believed this would be her best investment ever to get into leadership and fame. The defining momentThe reality of what Rashmi had got herself into hit her on the day of the election. She was all set. She could say her speech backward. But when she reached the auditorium and saw 5,000 girls staring at her, she froze. With a lot of difficulties, she climbed up the podium and reached the stage. Rashmi’s speech was crumbled entirely. When she looked at it, two big drops of tears followed. Not a single word came out of her mouth. What Rashmi set out as the best investment turned out to be the worst because a little into that moment, by the time she could assimilate what was happening, the girls started booing because nobody knew her name. They did not even know who was talking to them. She said something, then ran backstage and burst out crying. Carrying the unnecessary burden of shame for yearsRashmi was so ashamed that the whole college would now know her and laugh and scoff at her. She carried this experience with her for years, constantly feeling embarrassed. A few years ago, at a college reunion, when sharing their embarrassing moments, she realized that everybody forgot the incident as soon as she left the podium, yet she had let it bother her for years. Lessons learnedLife is not about external validationMost of us stop living the moment external validation stops. But life is not about external validation. What makes a difference is who you are on the inside. That is what helps you turn out to be what you eventually become. People do not care that much about your failuresDo not concern yourself about what other people will...

In this episode of Coaching Uncaged Animas Centre Director Robert Stephenson is joined by coach, consultant, supervisor, author and co-founder of the Climate Coaching Alliance, Dr. Alison Whybrow. Alison shares her journey, one which might be familiar for many listeners, that started with a realisation that the climate emergency isn't under control and evolved into a questioning around what if coaching was reframed? And Instead of being about individual and organisational success, what if it was there to create a healthy biosphere? Alison shares how this thinking led to her co-founding the Climate Coaching Alliance with Eve Turner and Dr. Josie Mclean - A movement centred around bringing together coaches, coaching psychologists, and coaching supervisors, facilitators and other leadership professionals in order to co-create a space to share resources, explore practice, and hold dialogue around the climate emergency. Robert and Alison explore the many ways coaches might bring in either a wider lens or bigger sense of self into the space around climate and the wider ecology, with Alison sharing examples from her own coaching.  They also discuss how organisations and professional bodies can avoid making it feel as though coaches ‘must' or 'should' be part of this conversation, and instead open it up as an invitation to be part of the dialogue and resulting action should it feel aligned to their purpose. Finally, Alison shares what's next for the Coaching Climate Alliance, including a 24 hour global conversation open to all, on the climate emergency which is taking place on the 4th March this year.

In this episode we are joined by two incredibly experienced supervisors, Eve Turner and Carole Davidson, to explore why supervision is so important in coaching. The ICF defines coaching supervision as a collaborative learning practice that continually builds the capacity of the coach through reflective dialogue for the benefit of both coaches and clients. Supervision provides coaches with a safe place in which they can reflect on their practice and receive coaching about their coaching approach and support with any challenges, difficulties or ethical considerations. We explore how critical supervision is for coaches working in organisations (it is starting to be used as part of the coach selection criteria), both for external coaches and those internal coaches who often face a challenge regarding boundaries as a result of working inside the organisation. About our guests: Eve Turner is an Accredited Master Executive Coach and Coach Supervisor, and co-founder of the Climate Coaching Alliance. She is also chair of APECS, founder of the Global Supervision Network and author of two books; 'The Heart of Coaching Supervision: Working with Reflection and Self-Care' with Stephen Palmer, and more recently; 'Systemic Coaching: Delivering Value Beyond the Individual‘ with Peter Hawkins. Carole Davidson is an Accredited Supervisor and Senior Coach-Mentor Practitioner and Assessor with the European Mentoring and Coaching Council and has extensive experience as a supervisor, especially of internal coaches. She is the author of the book Flying Solo Under 30'.

End of season podcast with a stellar panel made of of season one and two podcast guests. Our panel of thought leaders from the coaching world debate three questions of importance: Q1: Does coaching have a role to play in healing the social and political divides threatening the health of our democracies? Q2: Does the rise of the 'activist coach as in the Climate Coaching Alliance benefit or harm coaching as an 'impartial' helping profession. Q3: Do we need a similar movement as the Climate Coaching Alliance to champion gender and racial equality in the workplace?
