FREE ACCESS to Introduction to Group and Team Coaching – Group & Team Coaching: https://igcompany.co.uk/GTC Have you ever wondered if coaching could be the missing piece to thriving and not just surviving in your HR role? In this episode we take a heartfelt look back at our own HR roots and how those experiences eventually led us to embrace coaching not just as a skill, but as a calling. Back when we were in HR, we wore every hat going. One minute we were leading disciplinary meetings, the next we were guiding people through career development plans, followed by workforce planning and trying to boost team morale, all while being the go-to for engagement and wellbeing. Sound familiar? We talk about how HR professionals are often expected to magically facilitate group dynamics or support complex team conversations, not because they've been trained to do so, but because they're "good with people." And while those talents are real, the demand can feel overwhelming without the right tools. That's where coaching started to show up in our world, quietly, in feedback calls, tricky line manager conversations, or wellbeing chats that left us emotionally drained. We didn't know it yet, but we were already coaching, we just didn't have the language or training for it. The emotional demands of HR can be enormous especially when you're holding space for others while secretly needing someone to hold space for you. When we trained as coaches, not only did it sharpen our skillset, it also gave us community, clarity, and confidence. Coaching also helps you step back and de-personalise what can feel like daily emotional battles in HR. It rounds your edges, helps you reflect, and puts your professional growth into perspective. And sometimes, coaching isn't just an enhancement, it's a doorway. A path out of corporate life into consultancy, freedom, creativity and impact. That was our journey, and maybe, just maybe, it could be yours too. Timestamps: 00:00 — Our personal journey from HR to coaching 01:50 — The unrealistic expectations placed on HR professionals 03:15 — The hidden coaching already embedded in HR roles 04:40 — Coaching skills HR people already have (and can enhance) 07:24 — Holding space for others when you're depleted 11:06 — Why training in coaching helps you lead better in HR 14:23 — Depersonalising the emotional weight of HR 20:00 — The creative and freeing side of coaching careers Key Lessons Learned: HR professionals are natural coaches; they just don't always realise it. Coaching enhances confidence, resilience, and relational skills in emotionally intense roles. Holding space for others is valuable; but you must also be held. Developing coaching skills isn't just for coaches, it benefits every HR decision and conversation. Personal development and professional growth go hand-in-hand in HR. Coaching can be both a career evolution and an exit strategy.

What happens when one of the world's largest brokers and a digital-first underwriting platform team up to rethink risk trading? In this episode, Robin Merttens is joined by Sasa Brcerevic, Head of Portfolio and Delegated Strategy at Aon, and Ed Howkins, Chief Growth Officer at Artificial Labs. Together, they explore the evolving dynamics of wholesale broking, why now is the moment to digitise trading relationships and how insurers can stay competitive in a rapidly transforming landscape. The conversation offers a timely lens on the market-wide shift toward digital trading – not as a future ambition, but as an active and necessary response to competitive pressure. From the rise of underwriting-as-a-service to brokers leading platform innovation, this episode unpacks what insurers and brokers should be doing now to stay relevant. Key Talking Points Digitising the broker–underwriter interface: why transaction execution, not just placement admin, is the next frontier Strategic momentum: how digitisation moved from side project to boardroom priority across carriers and brokers Competitive catalysts: why fast movers are already capturing flow and shaping future adoption curves Platforms not portals: how Artificial is helping brokers remove friction while giving carriers underwriting optionality A new breed of carrier: exploring the shift from balance sheet-first models to digital risk transformation The data dividend: why data-rich submissions are changing how insurers allocate capital and differentiate themselves Incremental innovation: what makes today's efforts different from past false starts and what good adoption looks like Reimagining broking: how Aon is investing in technology to build its future operating model Sustainable advantage: why the biggest long-term gains lie in improving service, not just margin Time to jump in: why delaying digitisation could leave carriers and brokers on the outside looking in If you like what you're hearing, please leave us a review on whichever platform you use or contact Robin Merttens on LinkedIn.

“Jaz, I don't know which course to take?” “Should I do Aspire Academy, Kois, Chris Orr or Paul Tipton?” (all great courses and legends by the way!) Of course its confusing - there are now more ‘Level 7 Diplomas' than Dentists! There are also lots of biased testimonials - surely they can't ALL be the ‘best course I ever did?', right? So just HOW do you choose the right postgraduate program to elevate your skills?  What mindset helps new grads thrive, especially when they're feeling stuck? This episode shares Lakshmi's decision making as she opted for the RipeGlobal Fellowship. Lakshmi's journey is a perfect example of how the right mindset and a strategic approach to education can transform your dental career. Jaz and Lakshmi discuss her experience of choosing the right course, enrolling in the Ripe Global Restorative Fellowship, and the challenges she faced along the way.   They also talk through the importance of ongoing learning, the impact of mentorship, and how Lakshmi's mindset shift helped her grow as a dentist. Whether you're a new grad or seasoned dentist looking to upskill, Lakshmi's story will inspire you to take control of your career growth and make the most of every opportunity. https://youtu.be/waC_kQJhcio Watch IC059 on Youtube Book a free video consultation with the RipeGlobal Team to see if this course is right for you: protrusive.co.uk/RGdiscount This is an affiliate link that gets you 20% OFF if you enrol - but you first need to discover if it's the right course for you (it involves treating a manikin in your own clinic!) Key Takeaways: Hands-on experience is crucial for building confidence in clinical skills. Finding the right practice is important for professional growth. Investing in continuing education is vital for skill enhancement. Mentorship plays a vital role in navigating early career challenges. A supportive team can significantly impact a dentist's experience. Understanding one's learning style is key to effective training. Practical learning enhances engagement and application in real scenarios. Balancing time commitments is essential for managing a demanding course load. Choosing a course that aligns with one's career goals is vital for success. Maintaining a passion for one's work contributes to success.

What separates the practices that merely survive from those that thrive during economic downturns? This episode delivers practical wisdom from expert accountant Johnny Minford on creating genuine resilience in your dental business.We begin by distinguishing between two critical forms of practice resilience—capital resilience (protecting practice value for potential sale) and income resilience (ensuring consistent revenue streams). While many factors contribute to both types, implementing the right strategies depends entirely on your long-term objectives. As Minford astutely observes, when inflation runs high, cash quickly loses value, making strong cash flow your ultimate protection.The conversation delves into patient management as a cornerstone of practice stability. Having more patients—even those not actively purchasing services—creates opportunities that wouldn't exist otherwise. We explore how patient retention occurs through two primary mechanisms: establishing regular visit habits and making strategic treatment invitations. This leads to a fascinating discussion about appointment scheduling psychology, with Minford suggesting optimal waiting times of 2-3 weeks for elective procedures to balance practicality with maintaining patient motivation.Perhaps most compelling is our examination of the often contentious topic of associate compensation. Location emerges as the primary factor determining appropriate splits, with urban areas typically featuring lower percentages while rural practices offer higher rates to attract talent. Minford emphasizes that compensation extends beyond percentages: "If you treat your team badly and screw them to the floor every chance you get, after two or three years you become known for that." Some practices implement tiered systems where associates can earn substantially higher splits as they exceed production thresholds—creating win-win scenarios for motivated dentists and practice owners alike.We also tackle the legal implications of hygienist remuneration, treatment planning based on patient demographics, and strategies for both specialist referral practices and general practices to maintain visibility and growth in challenging markets. The result is a comprehensive blueprint for creating unshakeable value in your dental business, regardless of economic conditions.Don't miss the opportunity to earn free verifiable CPD by completing a short questionnaire through the link in our show notes after listening.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

Telemedicine.What's your gut reaction when you hear that term?Maybe you think it was just a clever COVID workaround, or second-rate substitute for a “real” vet visit. Or maybe you're a bit curious about what it's like to work in telemedicine— but you're worried it'll be boring.

We're thinking about the times of transition, from starting to use equipment or bringing carers into your home for the first time. Who and what helped us in the times where we need to think with both our heads and our hearts. The trio share the things that have made those transitions easier*, and the impact that changes have on us both emotionally and practically. We also cover consistent naming conventions for genitalia, how on earth you could ever predict when someone's birthday might be (?!) and the general challenges and joys that life throws at us.

How can insurers make accurate loss estimates before adjusters are on the ground, and why does it matter? In this episode, Matthew Grant speaks with Will Bonner, Chief Operating Officer at McKenzie Intelligence Services (MIS), about how the company uses satellite data, open-source intelligence and human expertise to deliver early insights on catastrophic events. From wildfires in California to civil unrest in the Pacific, the conversation explores how insurers are responding faster, setting more accurate reserves and navigating uncertainty in real time. The episode also highlights the practical challenges of relying on public data sources, the growing role of brokers in geospatial intelligence and how MIS transitioned from a centrally funded Lloyd's service to a solution used by 80% of syndicates. With real-world examples and lessons from other domains like defence and disaster response, this is a grounded look at what it takes to turn raw data into operational decisions. Key Talking Points: Intelligence before access – how MIS delivers building-level damage assessments before roads reopen or planes can fly From imagery to insight – why expert human analysis still outperforms automation in post-disaster response Scaling trust – what it takes to become a Lloyd's elective service for catastrophe intelligence From fires to frontlines – how MIS tracks 50,000+ buildings in wildfire zones to anticipate claims before they're filed Beyond Lloyd's – what global carriers and brokers are asking for as MIS expands into the US and beyond Stress-testing your stack – why reliance on single public datasets could leave insurers exposed in 2025 Real-time relevance – how MIS is turning horizon scanning into an actionable, insurer-led signal layer Experiment, iterate, evolve – what MIS has learned from testing edge ideas like mobile phone data and evacuation mapping If you like what you're hearing, please leave us a review on whichever platform you use or contact Matthew Grant on LinkedIn.

REBT for Pain Management and Exercise - Counselling Skills Feedback In Episode 338 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's three topics: Firstly, in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', we explore the essential and sensitive topic of supporting suicidal clients – discussing how therapists can respond ethically and effectively, including risk assessment and safety planning. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Ruth Hill about her lecture on REBT for pain management and exercise – blending cognitive therapy with physical wellbeing to support client recovery. And lastly, in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken discuss the importance of receiving and using counselling skills feedback – helping you get the most from peer observations and strengthen your skills in training. Supporting Suicidal Clients [starts at 03:29 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken discuss the sensitive but important issue of supporting suicidal clients, and how to respond appropriately in therapy. Key points discussed include: Suicidal ideation can range from passing thoughts to detailed planning. All expressions should be taken seriously. Risk factors include mental health diagnoses (e.g. depression, bipolar disorder), substance abuse, previous attempts, bereavement, and neurodivergence (particularly autism). Warning signs may present as hopelessness, withdrawal, giving away possessions, or even sudden mood improvements. Therapists should feel confident in: Asking direct, nonjudgmental questions Assessing risk through clarity on plans and means Creating collaborative safety plans with clients Intervention may include providing helpline details, referring to a GP, or involving other services – guided by your therapeutic contract. Documentation, supervision, and appropriate CPD are all essential to ensure ethical and competent practice. REBT for Pain Management and Exercise [starts at 42:15 mins] In this week's ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Ruth Hill about her lecture on REBT (Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy), and how it can be used to support pain management and exercise. The key points of this conversation include: REBT explores irrational beliefs and helps clients reframe unhelpful thoughts (e.g. “I can't cope with this pain” becomes “I don't want this pain, but I can cope with it”). Beliefs around pain often increase suffering and decrease motivation. Therapists can help clients notice and challenge cognitive distortions like catastrophising, black-and-white thinking, and mind-reading. Avoidance and guarding behaviour can worsen pain and increase deconditioning. Exercise can be reintroduced gently and collaboratively. Therapists should explore client history around movement – school PE experiences, family values, or previous injuries can shape limiting beliefs. Exercise doesn't have to mean running a marathon – it could mean stretching, walking, or visualising movement to reconnect mind and body. Counselling Skills Feedback [starts at 01:05:57 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken explore how to receive and use feedback on counselling skills, a vital part of developing as a student practitioner. Key points include: In triad skills sessions, the “client” should give feedback first, followed by the observer. Keep feedback constructive – use statements like “I wonder what might have happened if…” instead of criticism. Use observation forms to stay focused – reflect on specific skills such as silence, open questions, or paraphrasing. Sandwich suggestions between two pieces of positive feedback. Not all feedback is right – look for consistent patterns before making major changes. Recording practice sessions can help spot what worked well and what could be improved. Feedback isn't just about ticking boxes – it's about deepening empathy, timing,

On this episode of Mind the Gap, Emma Turner and Jon Hutchinson are reunited with co-host Tom Sherrington, returning from an extended break with fresh insights, global experiences, and a surprising new passion: yoga. Together, they reflect on what's changed—and what hasn't—in education during Tom's time away, diving into international comparisons, curriculum development, and the evolving culture around professional development. Tom shares what struck him on visits to schools around the world, and why he believes the UK remains a world leader in research-informed practice. The conversation zooms in and out, from cold calling and classroom talk routines to reimagining school leadership and restoring teacher autonomy. Emma and Jon also explore the growing tension between digital delivery and what Emma calls “analogue teaching”—real-time modelling, physical resources, and authentic interactions. “Modelling is the bridge,” Emma says, “between great curriculum content and what we know about how we learn.” In a rich and wide-ranging discussion, the trio call for a renewed focus on professionalism, collaboration, and the power of collective learning—reminding us all why great teaching still matters. Tom Sherrington has worked in schools as a teacher and leader for 30 years and is now a consultant specialising in teacher development and curriculum & assessment planning. He regularly contributes to conferences and CPD sessions locally and nationally and is busy working in schools and colleges across the UK and around the world.

As a bonus episode, to coincide with Dying Matters Week we bring you an insightful conversation with Dr Tim Wright (GP), and Lucy (Paediatric Sister), members of Rachel's family who both work in the local children's hospice. This beautiful, tender and raw conversation has the reality of both sides of the bed. Providing care for families of children who have life-limiting conditions and at end of life, as well as loving someone with a life-limiting condition. Dying Matters is a campaign run by the charity, Hospice UK. Hospice UK work with organisations, decision makers and the public to make things better for people who are dying or grieving. The hardest conversations are often the most important and here we talk about some of the jargon you might come across, having a take-away at a hospice and the ‘brutiful' (beautiful and brutal) reality of fighting for a good death. The tech wasn't to the standard we would typically aim for but the conversation was real and raw.

Galway based Alison, the world's largest free online learning platform for workplace skills, has proudly announced a major milestone: the graduation of its one millionth learner in the United States of America. The announcement marks a significant moment in Alison's mission to provide accessible, CPD accredited, skills-based learning for all, and highlights its expanding footprint across the U.S.A. Founded in 2007, Alison (www.alison.com) has grown into a global education pioneer, offering over 5,500 free online courses across a range of industries - from IT and business to healthcare, education, and more. With over 45 million registered learners worldwide, the U.S. represents one of its largest and fastest-growing learner bases. "Reaching one million graduates in the United States is not just a numerical milestone, it's a powerful validation of our mission," said Ciaran Cannon, VP of Global Affairs with Alison. "Millions of Americans are seeking affordable, flexible, and practical education options. At Alison, we're meeting that need at minimal cost, without barriers, and with a deep commitment to lifelong learning. Last week alone, we had over 7,000 graduates across the US, people who availed of a powerful opportunity to gain a life changing skill. We're with them every step of the way to a rewarding career." One of those million graduates, Morgan Ballou from Oklahoma, tells her powerful story of Alison offering her life changing opportunities. "There are no words. Alison is amazing. It's the only, to my knowledge, online learning platform where you can truly learn leading edge workplace skills, for free. And it's not like they nickel and dime you. Having dropped out of high school, Alison was one of the online platforms that helped me leverage and earn my way into a top tier college. "I've done several certificate courses and two diploma courses, a Diploma in Legal Studies and another in Psychology. The variety, the diversity, the option to earn a diploma, the peer learning. It's free. It's convenient, you can do it at your own pace. Online learning with Alison has changed my life." Alison's free learning platform also enables training providers, policymakers, and employers to maximise limited budgets while equipping job seekers with essential skills. Its globally recognised certifications help learners stand out in competitive job markets without incurring tuition fees. In 2024 alone, Alison delivered 4.1 million hours of free learning in the U.S., valued at $422m. "As economic landscapes shift, and technology transforms work, the demand for continuous upskilling is exploding. Alison is not just part of that conversation, we're leading it, making high-quality education free and accessible to anyone, anywhere, at any time. When people register with Alison for the first time, they do so in the knowledge that we have the tools and learning pathways to take them wherever they need to go. We're currently translating all of our 5,500 courses into Spanish, a move that will allow us to support the 40 million Americans who speak that language on a daily basis", said Mike Feerick, Founder and CEO of Alison. With growing partnerships across states and sectors, Alison is poised to further its impact in the U.S., supporting individuals, employers, educators and communities with low-cost solutions for professional growth and lifelong learning.

Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) – Reviewing Client Progress In Episode 336 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's three topics: Firstly, in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', we look at building your counselling CV – including key features to include, ways to stand out, and how to present yourself professionally. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Nicola Durrant about working with clients who have Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) – a profile on the autism spectrum that requires a unique and flexible therapeutic approach. And lastly in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken look at how to review a client's progress in therapy – and why it's an important part of ethical and effective practice. Building your Counselling CV  [starts at 03:31 mins] A counselling CV is your first professional impression – and it should reflect not only your qualifications but also your values and personal qualities. In this section, Rory and Ken explore what makes an effective and authentic CV: Start by making sure it's well-structured and no more than 2–4 pages. Tailor it to each job, making sure you reflect the ethos of the organisation you're applying to. Be honest about your experience, but also include transferable skills such as active listening, communication, and resilience. Include professional memberships, ethical awareness, and a commitment to personal development. A personal statement can be a great way to communicate your motivation, values, and readiness for the role. If you've done any research or CPD, mention this too – especially if it aligns with the organisation's client group or focus. Ask a peer or supervisor to read your CV and give feedback – having a second pair of eyes helps spot anything you may have missed. Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) [starts at 29:46 mins] In this week's Practice Matters, Rory speaks with Nicola Durrant about Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) – a profile on the autism spectrum characterised by a high level of anxiety around everyday demands. The key points of this conversation include: PDA is a survival response to perceived demands – it is not about control or defiance. People with PDA often mask their anxiety, especially in school or social environments, and release it later in safe spaces like home. Therapy must be collaborative and low-pressure – avoid direct demands and use invitational language like “I wonder if…” Strategies such as co-regulation, emotional literacy, and flexible structure help support clients with PDA. Trauma-informed practice is essential – the behaviours often resemble trauma responses such as fight, flight, or freeze. Adults with PDA don't outgrow it – they learn how to manage demands and environments that help them feel safe and in control. Reviewing Client Progress [starts at 54:29 mins] Reviewing client progress is a core part of ethical practice, particularly in short-term therapy or student placements. In this section, Rory and Ken look at why reviews are important and how to approach them: Reviews allow the client to reflect on progress, clarify goals, and express what has been helpful or challenging. This also supports therapist development and helps guide future sessions. You can carry out a review through conversation or using tools like the CORE-10 assessment. Let clients know at the start that a review will happen mid-way through the work – this makes it feel natural and expected. Adapt the review timing to the client's progress and needs – it doesn't have to be exactly session six. Ask questions like “How do you feel things are going so far?” or “Is there anything you'd like to change or focus on more?” Use supervision to reflect on what comes up in client reviews – this can strengthen your awareness and planning for the second half of therapy.

What if discovering your neurodivergent could unlock a deeper sense of purpose—and make your recruitment business more impactful? In this episode, Adam Tobias shares how getting diagnosed with ADHD and autism in his 40s reshaped not only how he works, but why he works. That discovery ignited a new mission: helping organizations remove the hidden barriers that exclude brilliant, underrepresented talent. Adam Tobias is the co-founder of Inventum Group, a purpose-driven recruitment and consulting firm based in London and Johannesburg. With over 25 years in the industry, Adam has built a company that's as values-led as it is commercially successful. Today, he advises clients ranging from FTSE 100 companies to fast-growth SMEs on how to recruit inclusively and build more resilient teams. Episode Outline and Highlights [02:40] How Adam got into recruiting, leading to his 20-year-old recruitment firm. [07:50] Avoiding ego-based growth: What Adam considers his lessons and learnings in his recruitment journey. [15:04] Key elements to success. [17:55] How finding out about his neurodivergence became a stepping-stone for inclusive consulting. [24:40] Adam's discovery of his neurodivergence. [34:46] Strategies that help Adam manage ADHD and autism at work. [38:33] Channeling Adam's advocacy as a differentiator. [45:57] Inventum's business model. [48:38] The top hiring barriers for underrepresented candidates—and how to fix them. [56:39] Discussion on behaviour, cultures, and values. [59:00] The value of candidate experience. Turning Purpose into a Differentiator Being diagnosed with autism and ADHD past 40, Adam had a renewed perspective on how to help clients be more inclusive in their hiring process. Once he uncovered his neurodivergence, he stopped trying to fit a mold and started building around what actually worked for him, leading with empathy, structure, and a culture where people could just be themselves. This inspired him to develop The Inclusive Recruiter, a CPD-certified training program that's now core to Inventum's offering. It's not just an add-on; it's embedded into how they hire, train, and work with clients. “So what we're doing now is helping clients fix their hiring processes—not just make placements,” Adam shared. “It's not about how well someone interviews. It's about how well they'll perform over time.” How did this benefit Adam's recruitment firm? The ROI of Inclusive Hiring Adam believes that inclusive recruitment is more than a moral imperative—it's a business advantage. Structured, unbiased interviews. Clearer job specs. Candidate experience that makes people want to re-engage. These aren't just “nice-to-haves”—they improve long-term placement success. They also turned this mission into a consulting arm of the business. Inventum has added new revenue streams while deepening client relationships. Whether it's through advisory, workshops, or training, Adam's team is proving that purpose can drive profit. “I think we've done well in a tough market because we've stayed true to who we are,” he said. “That's what's made us resilient.” Top Hiring Barriers for Underrepresented Candidates Adam shared insights on the commonly observed barriers when it comes to underrepresented groups and how they would advise their clients in terms of solutions. Below are outlined common challenges and recommended solutions: Challenges • Limited Outreach & Narrow Channels • Overloaded Job Descriptions • Masculine-Coded Language in Job Ads • Reliance on Outdated Job Descriptions • Unclear Must-Haves vs. Nice-to-Haves • Unstructured Interview Processes • Culture Fit Bias Solutions • Proactive Candidate Engagement • Simplify Job Descriptions • Audit Job Ad Language • Start from Scratch with Job Specs • Ditch the “Desirable” List • Structured Interviews with Scoring • Reduces bias and makes evaluations more objective. • Use Multiple Independent Interviewers • Focus on Values, Not "Culture Fit" • Client Education & Conversations Adam Tobias Bio and Contact Info Adam is the co-founder of Inventum Group, a boutique recruitment and consulting firm focused on building inclusive workplaces. With teams in London and Johannesburg, Inventum partners with companies across finance, marketing, legal, and HR to deliver talent with purpose. Adam is also the creator of The Inclusive Recruiter—a CPD-certified training program—and a passionate advocate for neurodiversity and equity in the workplace. • Adam on LinkedIn• Inventum Group websitePeople and Resources Mentioned • The Inclusive Recruiter (CPD Certified)• Pinnacle Society Connect with Mark Whitby • Get your FREE 30-minute strategy call • Mark on LinkedIn• Mark on Twitter: @MarkWhitby • Mark on Facebook • Mark on Instagram: @RecruitmentCoach Subscribe to The Resilient Recruiter
