One Year On: Alex Gulland's Journey into Practice – Confidentiality in Counselling Case Studies In Episode 362 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 working with clients who have a psychiatric diagnosis, considering how to approach this work ethically, including navigating risk, understanding medication, and maintaining person-centred care. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory catches up with Alex Gulland, a year after she qualified, to hear what the transition from student to practitioner has really been like – from building a client base to discovering a passion for equine-assisted therapy. And finally in ‘Student Services', Ken and Rory explore how to protect client confidentiality when writing case studies – including anonymisation techniques and data protection guidance. Sarah Henry joins to share her frontline insights into balancing academic and ethical responsibilities. Working with Clients Who Have a Psychiatric Diagnosis [starts at 03:17 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken explore working with clients who have a psychiatric diagnosis, unpacking the complexities of staying within professional competence while offering relational, therapeutic support. Key points discussed include: Understanding diagnoses like bipolar disorder or schizophrenia helps reduce fear and supports ethical, informed practice. Therapists must see the person first – not the label or diagnosis – and listen to what the client needs from therapy. Medication, risk, and involvement with community mental health teams should be explored during initial assessments. Supervision is essential when working with clients who have complex mental health needs, especially during episodes of active distress or psychosis. Counsellors should seek CPD to increase confidence and competence in this area, and avoid making assumptions about diagnosis severity. One Year On: Alex Gulland's Journey into Practice [starts at 26:53 mins] In this week's ‘Practice Matters', Rory reconnects with Alex Gulland to hear how her first year as a qualified counsellor has unfolded – from business decisions to developing her niche. Key points from this conversation include: Building a client base takes time and persistence; marketing and directory presence matter. Accreditation and professional registration offer reassurance but are not always decisive factors for clients. Combining freelance roles in training with private practice has provided income and valuable experience. Alex shares how equine-assisted therapy has become a core part of her practice, offering creative, non-verbal connection. Continued learning, especially in areas like attachment theory and shadow work, has been central to her growth. Confidentiality in Counselling Case Studies [starts at 55:18 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken provide a detailed guide on how to write case studies while protecting client identity – a key consideration in counselling education. Key points include: Use anonymisation techniques such as pseudonyms, vague job titles, and generalised locations to remove identifying details. Only include information directly relevant to the assignment question – avoid unnecessary specifics or rare events. Gain informed consent where possible, and understand awarding body and agency policies on client data use. Refer to BACP guidance, ICO anonymisation principles, and supervisor support to ensure ethical compliance. Sarah Henry emphasises how students can reflect on their motivations and ensure they write responsibly while still demonstrating learning.

President Donald Trump has threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act to quell ongoing anti-ICE demonstrations in Minnesota in the wake of the shooting death of Renee Good by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent. Protests have erupted nationwide after Good's death, and there have been many in Northeast Ohio communities, including Cleveland, Akron and Kent. This week, social media has been filled locally with unverified reports of ICE activities in Cleveland. Noted immigration attorney Margaret Wong said there were reports of ICE agents in Cleveland and offered advice about people's rights should ICE agents come to their door. Cleveland Police took the extraordinary step on Wednesday to issue a statement saying it's not its job to enforce general federal immigration law. We will begin Friday's “Sound of Ideas Reporters Roundtable” with a discussion of CPD's statement and rising concerns over ICE. FirstEnergy is asking the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio to lower reliability standards for power outages, basically allowing for more outages that last longer before its determined that standards weren't met. A first hearing is scheduled for next month. The Cleveland Clinic announced yesterday that it intends to earn certification as a Level 1 trauma center at its Main Campus by 2028, its second Level 1 trauma center in the region, after Akron General. Cleveland Clinic main campus leader Dr. Scott Steele said he sees a need for this top tier of trauma care within the Clinic's own system. But Cleveland already has Level 1 trauma centers -- operated University Hospitals and also by MetroHealth, which called for the clinic to reconsider and claimed patient costs would rise as a result of the clinic's actions. An effort to repeal a new state law that makes changes to the recreational marijuana statute passed by voters and also bans intoxicating hemp suffered a setback this week. A group trying to prevent Senate Bill 56 from going into effect and allow voters to decide whether to repeal it in November had its petition summary language rejected by Attorney General Dave Yost. We've heard a lot about the Browns planned move to a new enclosed stadium in Brook Park from the Cleveland perspective. Now, we're getting a bit more insight into how the mega project could impact Brook Park. This week the Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency or NOACA held a meeting about how the stadium could impact traffic. The Canton Hall of Fame Village has secured financing that could jump start the stalled construction on a massive indoor water park. "Game Day Bay" sits at the front of the Village property was started in 2022 but has been sitting unfinished since 2024. All this week on Ideastream Public Media you've been hearing reporting about the firefighting crisis facing Ohio. 70% of Ohio's fire departments are at least partially staffed by volunteers. Those volunteer positions are getting harder to fill as current volunteers near retirement. The reporting is a collaboration between Ideastream and The Ohio Newsroom and you'll find all the stories on our website as "Sound the Alarm".

Send us a textWhat if a few words and a simple image could reshape how students treat each other—and how they feel about themselves? We dive into bucket filling, a plain-language framework that sparked a global kindness movement. Grounded in the CASEL competencies and early brain research, this approach replaces vague advice with three clear rules: be a bucket filler, try not to dip, and use your lid.Carol McCloud, president of Bucket Fillers Academy and author of 11 children's books, shares how the metaphor took root in classrooms and homes, why it resonates from preschool to adults, and how “fill more, dip less, use the lid” becomes a daily rhythm. We talk through scaffolding the concepts by age, from concrete acts of kindness to the advanced skill of setting boundaries. Carol offers ready-to-use ideas: a 30-minute eye-to-eye affirmation circle that changes classroom tone, a daily pledge that keeps the habit top-of-mind, and family rituals that ask, “Whose bucket did you fill today—and what filled yours?”Expect data as well as heart. You will hear how one principal, once skeptical, watched behavior referrals fall by 68% after tracking witnessed kindness with classroom buckets and school-wide action. We also explore how the language reframes bullying as a behavior to be changed, not an identity to be assigned, helping students respond with empathy, accountability, and self-control. Along the way, Carol points to free posters, songs, and multilingual tools at bucketfillers101.com to make the practice stick across mornings, group work, and conflict resolution.If you believe culture drives learning, this episode gives you a shared vocabulary, practical routines, and the science-backed reminder that tiny acts create big ripples. Subscribe, share with a colleague, and leave a review to help more educators and families discover tools that make kindness visible. What bucket will you fill today?

In this (rather delayed!) October round-up, Iain Beardsell and Simon Carley catch up on recent St Emlyn's blog posts and papers that continue to shape emergency and resuscitation practice. The discussion moves across trauma, analgesia, cardiac arrest physiology, emergency department systems, and antimicrobial stewardship—less about novelty, more about what actually holds up on shift. Trauma and haemorrhage The episode opens with a discussion of the FIRST-2 trial, examining fibrinogen concentrate and prothrombin complex concentrate versus fresh frozen plasma in severe traumatic haemorrhage. Despite promising physiological theory, the trial shows no meaningful reduction in blood product use compared with standard care, reinforcing the ongoing role of FFP in early trauma resuscitation. Upper limb injuries and regional anaesthesia The team explore the SUPERB trial comparing supraclavicular brachial plexus blocks with Bier's blocks for upper limb reductions. Both techniques provide excellent analgesia. The conversation reflects on changing practice, procedural sedation pressures, ultrasound access, and how physical space—not evidence—often dictates what we do. Cardiac arrest: signals worth paying attention to Three recent cardiac arrest papers are reviewed, focusing on physiological markers rather than new devices: End-tidal CO₂ as a CPR quality target Ventilation strategies during arrest, including chest-compression-synchronised ventilation Cerebral oximetry as a potential prognostic signal These are not definitive answers, but they point towards cardiac arrest management that is more physiological and less ritualistic. Emergency department systems: repair, not reinvention A reflective discussion on “designer repair” challenges the idea that emergency departments need constant transformation. Instead, the focus shifts to recognising and supporting the clinicians quietly holding fragile systems together every day—and why fixing small, broken things often matters more than grand redesigns. Sepsis and antibiotics The episode closes with a critical look at broad-spectrum antibiotic use in suspected sepsis. Observational data suggest significant overtreatment and real harm, reinforcing the need to pause, think, and choose the right antibiotic—not just the fastest one. This episode is a reminder that good emergency medicine is rarely about silver bullets. It's about judgement, physiology, and paying attention to what actually works in the real world.

Feeling Safe vs Being Safe in Therapy - How to Reference Non-Academic Resources In Episode 361 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly explore three vital topics for students and practitioners of counselling and psychotherapy: Firstly, in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', Rory and Ken examine managing isolation in counselling practice, highlighting why counsellors may experience isolation, the impact of emotional labour, and the importance of maintaining professional connections. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with psychotherapist Claire Ratcliffe about the subtle but essential distinction between feeling safe and being safe in therapy, and what this means for clients and therapeutic practice. And finally, in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken offer practical guidance on how to reference non-academic resources in academic assignments. Managing Isolation in Counselling Practice [starts at 03:29 mins] Rory and Ken reflect on managing isolation in counselling practice, exploring the isolating nature of counselling work and how the emotional labour involved can take a toll if not proactively addressed. Counsellors often work alone - especially in private or online practice - reducing professional interaction. Confidentiality prevents therapists from sharing day-to-day experiences, contributing to feelings of disconnection. Emotional labour builds up over time and, without an outlet, can lead to burnout or compassion fatigue. Proactive self-care, social hobbies, and peer engagement are essential for maintaining emotional balance. Supervision and CPD groups offer vital opportunities for connection and support. Personal development through reflective practice helps therapists process isolation and stay grounded. Feeling Safe vs Being Safe in Therapy [starts at 19:00 mins] Claire Ratcliffe joins Rory to unpack the nuanced difference between being in a safe environment and actually feeling safe enough to engage in therapy. A therapist may offer a structurally safe space, but clients may not feel safe due to past trauma or relational history. Feeling safe is a nervous system response developed through consistent, attuned, and non-defensive relational experiences. Transference may cause clients to project past harm onto the therapist - naming and exploring this supports healing. Emotional safety allows clients to express discomfort or anger - a sign of growth and nervous system regulation. Therapists must do their own reflective and supervision work to hold client projections non-defensively. The therapeutic process itself may not always feel safe. Even with a safe therapist, clients need time to build tolerance to emotional vulnerability. How to Reference Non-Academic Resources [starts at 44:52 mins] Ken and Rory explain how to correctly use and cite non-academic resources in counselling training assignments. Academic work should be referenced using primary academic sources (e.g. Rogers, Freud), not interpretations by tutors or websites. Resources like Counselling Tutor are useful for understanding theory but should not be cited as the original source. Counselling Tutor provides full reference lists for its materials, supporting students in finding and citing academic texts. There are exceptions: students can cite guest experts in CPD lectures, or books authored by Counselling Tutor. A dedicated reference guide is available at https://counsellingtutor.com/reference/ Understanding referencing standards supports academic integrity and successful assignment writing.

2026 CPD Accelerator: https://igcompany.com/CPD2026 What if the way you approach your CPD this year could fundamentally shape your confidence, energy, and impact as a coach? In this episode, we sat down to have an honest, grounded conversation about what continuous professional development really looks like for coaches in practice, not theory. As Master Accredited Coaches and founders of an accredited coach training provider, we reflected openly on our own CPD journeys, including the years of intense learning, the quieter phases focused on business growth, and the moments where CPD crept up on us through deadlines, reaccreditation reminders, or a deep need for stimulation and renewal. We explored why so many coaches fall into reactive CPD patterns, binge learning one year and neglecting it the next, and what happens when CPD becomes something you chase at the last minute rather than plan with intention. Throughout the conversation, we found ourseleves reflecting on how powerful it feels when CPD is aligned with who you are as a coach, the clients you serve, and the impact you want to have, rather than driven by fear, comparison, or industry pressure. We talked about compassion fatigue, confidence dips, and the quiet anxiety that can show up when CV requests or accreditation deadlines land unexpectedly. We also explored the joy of learning for learning's sake, the gift of community and connection that comes from cohort-based CPD, and the way one programme can open doors you did not even know existed. This episode is also about practicality. We discussed the importance of anchoring CPD into your diary, planning financially, and understanding your own learning preferences, whether that is bite-sized learning, intensive programmes, or facilitated cohorts. We share reflections on how CPD can reignite momentum for early-stage coaches, support experienced coaches returning after time away, and help those who trained years ago feel current, capable, and confident again in today's coaching landscape. As we step into 2026, this conversation is an invitation to pause, reflect, and choose your CPD with clarity and intention. We also introduced the CPD Accelerator, a short, focused experience designed to help you map out your CPD for the year ahead in a way that feels supportive, energising, and achievable.   Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction and why CPD matters at the start of a new year 00:57 Our personal experiences of binge learning and CPD cycles 01:50 Why coaches need CPD that reflects real client issues 03:36 Planning CPD with intention rather than urgency 04:35 Compassion fatigue and filling your own cup as a coach 06:18 Missing opportunities and the cost of not planning ahead 08:30 Choosing CPD from confidence rather than fear 09:49 The power of community and cohort-based learning 11:28 CPD for early-stage and returning coaches 14:37 When CPD is imperfect and still valuable 18:15 Introducing the CPD Accelerator for 2026   Key Lessons Learned: CPD has the power to shape not only your skills, but your confidence, energy, and identity as a coach. Planning CPD early creates focus, financial clarity, and space to choose learning that truly fits. The best CPD is aligned with your strengths, gaps, and the clients you want to serve. Community and connection are often as valuable as the content itself. CPD works best when entered from a place of intention rather than panic or comparison.   Links & Resources: CPD Accelerator: https://igcompany.com/CPD2026   Keywords: Coach CPD 2026, coaching continuous professional development, CPD planning for coaches, coach accreditation CPD, coaching confidence development, professional development for coaches, coaching CPD programmes, coach learning and development,

Some of the hardest moments in emergency medicine aren't hard because they're complicated. They're hard because they're rare — and when they arrive, you're relying on things you last thought about a long time ago. This final episode in the Best Bits of 2025 series is the “file it away” collection: rare, high-stakes situations where preparation is largely cognitive, decisions are time-critical, and there may be no second chance. The clips in this episode are drawn from full St Emlyn's episodes released during 2025 and focus on recognition, decision-making, and human factors in uncommon but consequential scenarios. In this episode, we explore How community response and live video have changed what happens before patients reach hospital Recognising and acting on decompression illness, even when presentations are subtle Cognitive HALOs — what happens to our thinking in rare, high-acuity situations Junctional haemorrhage and the role of the abdominal aortic junctional tourniquet Human decision-making under extreme pressure, illustrated through aviation medicine This episode is designed to be listened to slowly, and returned to when needed — the kind of learning that pays off long after you first hear it. Featured episodes Clips in this episode are taken from the following full St Emlyn's episodes: Episode 262 — GoodSAM Update with Mark Wilson (London Trauma Conference) Episode 263 — Hyperbaric Medicine with Jeff Kerrie (London Trauma Conference) Episode 277 — Cognitive HALOs and Advanced Simulation Training with Halden Hutchinson-Bazely (BASICs) Episode 273 — Abdominal Aortic Junctional Tourniquet with Ed Barnard Episode 276 — Ejection Seats and the Injured Pilot with Phil Lucas (BASICs) All full episodes are available in the podcast feed.

In this timely and hard-hitting episode, Dr. Dave Chatterjee is joined by Sandeep Pauddar—an accomplished global auditor with over 30 years of experience—to challenge a deeply entrenched misconception: that cybersecurity certifications and compliance are merely regulatory checkboxes. Instead, the conversation reframes compliance as a strategic asset—one that can strengthen trust, resilience, and competitive positioning in an era defined by AI, global regulations, and escalating cyber risk.Drawing on real-world breach examples, audit insights, and cross-industry comparisons, Pauddar explains why organizations that treat compliance reactively often pay a steep price—financially, operationally, and reputationally. Dr. Chatterjee integrates his Commitment–Preparedness–Discipline (CPD) governance framework to demonstrate how leadership mindset, continuous audit readiness, and disciplined execution transform certifications from defensive necessities into engines of strategic value.Together, they explore why leadership engagement—not regulatory pressure alone—determines compliance effectiveness, how audit culture can shift from adversarial to collaborative, and why proactive organizations outperform peers by embedding governance into everyday operations rather than scrambling after incidents occur.Time Stamps00:49 — Episode introduction and framing compliance as competitive firepower02:22 — Podar's professional background and global audit experience05:01 — Real-world consequences of non-compliance07:30 — Sector comparisons and leadership mindset gaps09:36 — Global regulatory approaches to cybersecurity and AI12:33 — Compliance overload and framework fatigue14:56 — Why audits fail to drive change16:10 — Shifting from adversarial to collaborative audits18:17 — Leadership's role in cybersecurity culture21:44 — Proactive vs. reactive compliance models23:54 — Leadership best practices for audit readiness25:45 — CPD framework applied to certifications29:37 — AI standards and proactive governance34:24 — Human risk, awareness, and phishing realities37:44 — Closing reflectionTo access and download the entire podcast summary with discussion highlights -https://www.dchatte.com/episode-98-beyond-certification-turning-compliance-into-competitive-firepower/Connect with Host Dr. Dave ChatterjeeLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dchatte/ Website: https://dchatte.com/Books PublishedThe DeepFake ConspiracyCybersecurity Readiness: A Holistic and High-Performance ApproachArticles PublishedRamasastry, C. and Chatterjee, D.

What does a year of growth really look like when you step away from the highlight reel and tell the truth? As we reach the end of 2025, we wanted to pause and pull back the curtain on what this year has genuinely been like for us behind the scenes. This episode is an honest, reflective conversation about the reality of running a values led coaching business through a year of challenge, change, and deep learning. We talk openly about the tension between what people often see from the outside and what it has actually felt like to be inside the business. This year has asked a lot of us. There have been moments of momentum and celebration alongside periods of complexity, uncertainty, and sustained effort that few people ever witness. We reflect on how a trip to Dubai at the start of the year became a catalyst for significant shifts in our thinking. Stepping into a different environment gave us the space to see long standing business bottlenecks with fresh eyes. What had felt heavy and immovable suddenly became solvable. That experience reshaped how we approached systems, automation, and the role technology plays in supporting rather than draining a coaching business. We share what it took to bring our Neurodivergent Inclusive Coaching programme to life, both in its full facilitated form and later through the Essentials offering. These programmes hold enormous meaning for us, not only because of their impact on coaches and clients, but because of the care, collaboration, and emotional labour involved in creating them well. This year reminded us why programme creation is so demanding and why integrity in delivery matters deeply to us. Much of 2025 has been about strengthening the foundations of the business. We talk about the unglamorous but essential work of refining processes, documenting systems, onboarding team members, and rebuilding parts of the business from the ground up to support scale. This included changing payment systems, migrating our website from co.uk to com, securing trademarks, and rethinking how we structure qualifications and CPD. Alongside all of this, there has been personal growth. We reflect on stepping back into facilitation, reconnecting with learners, and the fulfilment that comes from being closer to the heart of the work. We also share how this year has prompted bigger questions about brand identity, marketing, and how we want to be known as a global coaching organisation. This episode is an invitation to reflect on your own year with honesty and compassion. Whether you are running a coaching business, leading in an organisation, or navigating change, we hope our reflections offer reassurance, perspective, and a reminder that progress is often quieter and messier than it appears.   Timestamps: 00:00 Welcome and why we reflect at the end of each year 01:24 Why 2025 felt challenging as well as successful 01:54 The Dubai trip that changed how we saw our business 02:53 Gaining fresh perspective on systems and processes 05:17 Launching our Neurodivergent Inclusive Coaching programme 06:42 Creating accessible pathways through Essentials 08:04 Rebuilding systems and standard operating procedures 09:52 Moving from co.uk to com and what it represented 11:48 Returning to facilitation and reconnecting with learners 14:32 Securing trademarks and protecting the brand 15:29 Refreshing our ILM Level 3 coaching qualification 16:55 Corporate partnerships and ripple effects of coaching 18:22 Scaling responsibly and supporting hundreds of learners 21:29 Looking ahead to 2026 with clarity and optimism   Key Lessons Learned: Stepping away from the day to day can unlock solutions that feel impossible when you stay too close Strong systems are not restrictive, they create freedom and sustainability Inclusive programme design requires time, care, and collaboration Scaling a coaching business often means rebuilding rather than adding on Reconnecting with clients and learners keeps the heart of the work alive Brand decisions are as emotional as they are strategic Continuous improvement is demanding but deeply worthwhile   Links and Resources: www.igcompany.com/ilmcall www.mycoachingcourse.com    Keywords: coaching business growth, behind the scenes coaching, neurodivergent inclusive coaching, coaching qualifications UK, coaching CPD programmes, emotional coaching practice, coaching business systems, coach training programmes, coaching leadership development, The Coaching Crowd podcast,

We dig into the hidden gap between production and collection that trips up so many UK dentists, then show how to fix it with clean bookkeeping, correct revenue recognition, and a simple 13-week cash forecast. You'll hear why tax hits in late December and January drain liquidity, how deposits can inflate reported profit and accelerate tax, and what it takes to line up costs with completed treatment so your numbers tell the truth.Together we reframe the whole picture: profit is teeth, cash flow is gums, and both must be healthy. We break down common accounting mistakes in Xero and QuickBooks, explain when revenue should be recognised, and map out a weekly process to track net cash collected versus total outflows, including assets and loan payments. You'll learn to ringfence working capital for the next 90 days, set aside tax with confidence, and identify genuine excess cash you can deploy into growth without fear.We also tackle mindset and habit. When the bank balance is high, owners overspend; when it's low, panic kicks in. Data replaces emotion. With a living forecast, you can choose the right lane for your practice, avoid nasty surprises, and time investments like scanners, marketing, or training to match your cash runway. If you've ever asked “Why do I feel broke when my accounts show profit?”, this conversation gives you the clarity, language, and tools to change it.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

In this episode, Cecilia Lemos-Harmer and Adrian Underhill explore how language learning is deeply connected to identity, emotion, and embodiment, rather than being a purely intellectual process. Adrian argues that effective language development happens when learners feel psychologically safe, engaged, and willing to experiment with new sounds and expressions. He emphasises the teacher's role in creating conditions for learning by managing attention, presence, and classroom energy, rather than simply delivering content. He also highlights pronunciation and voice work as gateways to confidence, self-expression, and communicative competence, noting that learners often need permission to “be different” in another language. This conversation between Ceci and Adrian reframes language teaching as a human, relational practice, where awareness, trust, and physical engagement are central to meaningful learning.Visit Adrian's website: https://adrianunderhill.com/ To find the complete archive of Developod episodes, go to tdsig.org/developod-tdsigs-podcast

January often brings pressure to improve — to fix gaps, sharpen skills, and somehow be better than the year before. Done badly, that drive can become another source of burnout. This third episode in the Best Bits of 2025 series focuses on how improvement actually works in emergency and acute care — and how to do it in a way that is realistic, sustainable, and kind to the people doing the work. The clips in this episode are drawn from full St Emlyn's episodes released during 2025 and reflect some of the most practical conversations about learning, feedback, and professional development from the year. In this episode, we explore Why clinical skills fade faster than most of us realise — and why teaching is not the same as training How debriefing and video review can drive learning safely, when the culture is right The impact of artificial intelligence and algorithm-driven information on how clinicians learn and make decisions Why conferences, community, and being “in the room” still matter in medical education This episode is designed for listening on the way to work, on the way home, or during a quieter moment when you're thinking about how to improve practice without adding more weight. Featured episodes Clips in this episode are taken from the following full episodes: Episode 259 — Skills Fade with Nathalie Pattyn (Tactical Trauma 24) Episode 265 — Excellence in Debriefing with Richard Lyon (London Trauma Conference) Episode 267 — Social Media and Artificial Intelligence in Medicine with Peter Brindley Episode 274 — What Medical Conferences Offer in 2025 and How They've Changed All full episodes are available in the podcast feed.

What does the future really look like for UK bookkeepers as regulation tightens, MTD expands and professionalism becomes more important than ever? In this episode of the 6FB Sofa Sessions, Ami Copeland, CEO of the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers (ICB), explains exactly what's changing, what standards matter most, and how bookkeepers can protect, grow and future-proof their practices. Ami leads one of the most influential professional bodies in UK bookkeeping and works closely with HMRC, software providers and regulatory partners to shape the modern bookkeeping profession. In this conversation with Jo Wood and Zoe Whitman, she shares what she is seeing across thousands of UK practices, how professionalism and compliance expectations are rising, and why strong ethical standards will define the next decade of bookkeeping. You'll hear how Making Tax Digital is reshaping the role of the bookkeeper, what regulation really means for day-to-day practice, and how bookkeepers can position themselves as trusted finance partners rather than “just” compliance providers. Ami also talks openly about confidence, competence, qualifications, and why credibility will become a key differentiator as the industry continues to grow. This episode explores the commercial benefits of being professionally recognised, how education and CPD protect both you and your clients, and why bookkeepers who embrace change now will be the ones leading the profession in the years ahead. Ami explains the balance between accessibility and accountability in bookkeeping, and what standards clients will increasingly expect as business owners become more financially aware. If you are a UK bookkeeper navigating MTD, thinking about regulation, wanting to raise your professional profile, or unsure how formal recognition fits into your growth plans, this episode will give you clarity, reassurance and direction.

We sit down with Lisa, a former dental nurse who became a practice stakeholder, to unpack how equity, trust, and smart systems turn a busy clinic into a resilient, two-site business that serves patients better and performs stronger.Lisa shares the early lessons she took from running operations in a GP super centre: finance visibility, team training, and the simple truth that people remember how you make them feel. Those foundations shaped a strategy that moved a three-person team into a private-led model with an NHS arm ring-fenced in a nearby site for stability and optionality. We talk openly about when equity for a practice manager makes sense, why it should be a cherry not a carrot, and how small ownership stakes can unlock the discretionary effort owners quietly hope for but rarely earn.We dive deep on incentives that work—like sharing a slice of verified stock savings—and why owners who cling to cash starve growth. The numbers matter: monthly KPIs, white space costs, staffing ratios, and fee calibration can add six figures without longer clinical hours. And then there's the biggest lever of all: communication. Lisa breaks down the ten-second phrases that de-escalate complaints, the reception scripts that convert more enquiries into appropriate appointments, and how AI call reviews help front-of-house master tone, empathy, and listening.If you're an owner or manager who wants fuller diaries, fewer fire drills, and a team that thinks like partners, this conversation hands you the blueprint: align incentives, measure what matters, and coach the words that win trust.

Winter pressure doesn't just affect patient flow. It affects people. This second episode in the Best Bits of 2025 series focuses on the human side of emergency medicine: culture, moral injury, compassion, and the small but meaningful behaviours that help clinicians stay grounded when work is relentless. The clips in this episode are drawn from full St Emlyn's podcast episodes released during 2025 and reflect some of the most thoughtful conversations of the year. In this episode, we explore: What a genuine learning culture looks like on shift — and why it matters more than workload Moral injury in emergency and prehospital care, and how it differs from day-to-day moral distress Compassionate resuscitation and “the pause” after a death Why small, practical actions can counter hopelessness, even when systems are broken The EPICC framework and the role of self-compassion in clinical practice This episode is designed for listening on shift, on the way home, or during a quieter moment over Christmas and New Year. Featured episodes Clips in this episode are taken from the following full St Emlyn's episodes: Episode 256 — Monthly Update (November 2024): Learning culture in emergency medicine Episode 261 — Moral Injury with Caroline Leech (recorded at Tactical Trauma 24) Episode 258 — Compassionate Resuscitation with Matt Hooper (London Trauma Conference) Episode 264 — High Performance Teams with Dan Dworkis (Tactical Trauma 24) Episode 271 — Monthly Update (April and May 2025): EPICC and self-compassion All full episodes are available in the podcast feed.

After a decade of corporate consolidation and a pandemic‑fuelled private boom, the market has cooled to a healthier balance: fewer bidding frenzies, more scrutiny on profit, and a meaningful opening for independent buyers who know their numbers. We're joined by Oliver Snowden, an ex‑corporate M&A director now co‑leading a bespoke brokerage, to decode how associate‑led EBITDA works, when to use principal‑led assumptions instead, and why multiples peaked in 2022 before settling into a more sustainable range.We walk through the levers that move price: sustainable profit margins, lease quality, lender sentiment, and the real impact of interest rates. Oliver shares candid benchmarks—why 17 to 22 percent is the sweet spot for associate‑led margins—and what buyers expect to see in management accounts and compliance files before they take a deal seriously. If you're planning to sell, you'll hear exactly how to prepare: engage a dental specialist accountant and solicitor early, build a complete due diligence pack, and get ahead of landlord consents that can quietly add months. If you're buying, learn to compare valuations under both models, challenge costs that don't scale, and test whether the business stacks up without the current owner's clinical time.We also dig into marketing spend, where many practices now invest three to five percent of turnover without clear measurement.

Emergency medicine strips decision-making back to its essentials when departments are full and time is short. This first episode in the Best Bits of 2025 series brings together some of the most practically useful moments from the St Emlyn's podcast this year — focusing on how clinicians make good decisions under pressure, when conditions are far from ideal. Each clip comes from a full episode released in 2025. In this episode, we explore: How ten-second triage is designed to work on “worst-day” scenarios, not in textbooks The uncomfortable truth about why procedures sometimes get done — and why that matters Why time, not technique, is often the limiting factor in resuscitative thoracotomy The case for earlier invasive monitoring in the sickest patients Where thinking around double sequential defibrillation may be heading This episode is designed to be useful on shift, in the car, or during a quiet moment before the next job. Featured episodes Clips in this episode are taken from the following full St Emlyn's episodes: Episode 257 — Ten Second Triage with Sean Brayford-Harris (Tactical Trauma 24) Episode 269 — Monthly Round Up (January 2025): Decision-making and prehospital RSI Episode 270 — Insights on Cannabis Edibles, Pre-Hospital Thoracotomy and more Episode 266 — Monthly Round Up (February 2025): Targeted resuscitation and arterial lines Episode 268 — Top Papers of 2024 from The Big Sick Conference All full episodes are available in the podcast feed.

Teachers today are genuinely time-poor. Between increasing administrative demands, constant assessment, and the rapid rise of AI, finding professional development that truly fits into a teacher's reality can feel impossible. Too often, CPD remains one-size-fits-all detached from linguistically diverse classrooms and the real challenges educators face every day. When professional learning fails to connect with practice, the impact goes far beyond wasted hours. Essential skills such as oracy, effective EAL strategies, and healthy digital habits are overlooked, contributing to teacher burnout and leaving students ill-equipped for life beyond the classroom. In this podcast episode, we speak with experts from Hachette Learning Academy about a more adaptive, teacher-led approach to professional learning one that prioritises what actually matters. Listen to the full episode to discover a powerful "hidden skill" that could matter more than reading or writing for students' future career success.

On this episode of Mind the Gap, Tom Sherrington and Emma Turner are joined by Bennie Kara - former teacher, consultant, and author of Nuthall's Hidden Lives of Learners in Action - to explore what learning really looks like beneath the surface of the classroom. Drawing on Graham Nuthall's seminal research, Bennie unpacks the idea of the three worlds of the classroom (the public, social, and private worlds of learning) and explains why observation alone can never tell us what pupils have actually learned. The conversation ranges across deep listening, talk and oracy, prior knowledge and experience, misconceptions, and the limits of short lesson drop-ins, with practical reflections on how teachers can better surface pupils' thinking without being overwhelmed by workload. Bennie also connects Nuthall's insights to contemporary debates around curriculum design, inclusion, equity, and long-term memory, arguing that learning is shaped as much by peer interaction and prior experience as by what teachers plan and deliver. It's a thoughtful, challenging episode that invites leaders and teachers alike to rethink what counts as evidence of learning - and where to look for it. Bennie Kara started her career as an English teacher in the inaugural cohort of Teach First in 2003. After 20 years' experience in education as a teacher and former deputy headteacher specialising in teaching, learning and the curriculum, she now works as a leadership coach in schools as a speaker and trainer on topics such as DEI, teaching and learning, and effective curriculum construction. She is the author of three books focusing on diversity, equity and inclusion in education. Graham Nuthall's work and research, as recorded in The Hidden Lives of Learners, sits in the intersection of her interests. She is particularly interested in the way he explores the social construct of the classroom, as well as the ways in which identity, experience and interest play into long term learning and memory. She strongly believes that effective pedagogy is rooted in the needs of students and is informed by research.

In this insightful episode, Dr. Dave Chatterjee speaks with Greg Clark—longtime enterprise content management and cybersecurity leader—about a foundational but overlooked ingredient of AI success: information readiness. While organizations rush to implement artificial intelligence, many neglect the quality, governance, security, and contextual integrity of the data fueling these systems. As Clark notes, without clean, curated, and governed information, even the most advanced AI models will misfire—sometimes with damaging or legally significant consequences.Together, they explore why “garbage in, garbage out” is more relevant than ever in the AI era, especially as enterprises confront fragmented data, weak metadata, inconsistent governance, and high regulatory scrutiny. Dr. Chatterjee weaves in his Commitment–Preparedness–Discipline (CPD) governance framework, demonstrating why information readiness must be treated as a strategic capability, not a technical afterthought. The conversation illuminates how trust, data integrity, and responsible model oversight are emerging as competitive differentiators in the age of GenAI and agentic AI.Time Stamps00:49 — Dave introduces Greg Clark02:43 — Clark's 20+ year journey07:14 — Defining information readiness08:32 — Importance of understanding data09:58 — Data chaos and pitfalls12:00 — Trust erosion13:29 — Air Canada chatbot case16:22 — Auditability and explainability18:51 — CPD applied to AI governance20:43 — Operational maturity22:53 — JPMorgan's Responsible AI Council25:43 — Security as strategic capability27:35 — Zero trust and data protection30:32 — Mayo Clinic example31:25 — Metrics for buy-in32:50 — Destroy-your-business scenarios34:21 — Trust-first culture36:09 — Human-in-the-loop37:20 — GDPR case38:23 — Final reflectionsTo access and download the entire podcast summary with discussion highlights - https://www.dchatte.com/episode-97-ais-missing-puzzle-piece-why-information-readiness-determines-ai-success/Connect with Host Dr. Dave Chatterjee LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dchatte/ Website: https://dchatte.com/Books PublishedThe DeepFake ConspiracyCybersecurity Readiness: A Holistic and High-Performance ApproachArticles PublishedRamasastry, C. and Chatterjee, D.

Supporting Therapists and Clients Through Peri and Post Menopause - Door Knobbing in Counselling In Episode 359 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', they explore getting over cancellation guilt, looking at what therapist cancellation guilt means, why it arises, and how to approach it with compassion and professionalism. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Ruth Hill about supporting therapists and clients through perimenopause and post menopause - challenging outdated views and reframing this life stage as one of growth, not decline. And finally, in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken discuss the phenomenon of doorknobbing - those last-minute disclosures from clients - and how to respond ethically and sensitively in practice. Getting Over Cancellation Guilt [starts at 03:09 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken explore getting over cancellation guilt, examining the emotional impact on therapists when they must cancel sessions and offering compassionate strategies to reframe the experience. Key points discussed include: Cancellation guilt is a common emotional experience, especially when sessions are called off at short notice. Ethically, prioritising self-care supports safer practice and protects the therapeutic relationship. Cancelling when unwell models healthy boundaries and gives clients permission to do the same. Communication is key - offer reassurance, alternative times, and avoid oversharing to prevent client worry. Contracting for cancellations upfront can reduce confusion and help manage expectations. Use supervision to explore guilt, recognise blind spots, and develop resilience in responding to these scenarios. Supporting Therapists and Clients Through Peri and Post Menopause [starts at 21:57 mins] In this week's ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Ruth Hill, REBT therapist and sports scientist, who shares insights from her CPD lecture on menopause and its implications for therapy. Key points from this conversation include: Menopause is often overlooked, under-celebrated, or medicalised - yet it is a significant life stage deserving validation. Therapists must reframe menopause as a natural transition rather than a deficit or decline. Ruth highlights how REBT and the ABCDE model can help clients challenge perfectionism and internalised stigma. Brain rewiring during menopause affects cognitive and emotional functioning - requiring compassion, not self-blame. The therapy space should allow for honest dialogue, normalising experiences like brain fog or hot flushes without shame. Menopause also affects therapists - being human and modelling acceptance benefits both client and practitioner. Door Knobbing in Counselling [starts at 45:39 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken explore ‘door knobbing' - when clients make significant disclosures just before leaving a session - and how practitioners can navigate this with care. Key points include: A doorknob comment is typically a serious or emotionally charged disclosure made at the end of a session. Clients may use this as a safety mechanism, dropping difficult truths when time is limited. Therapists should hold the client emotionally and assess immediate risk if necessary. Revisit doorknob comments in the next session with sensitivity - offer choice, don't impose an agenda. Supervision is essential when managing potential safeguarding issues or feeling overwhelmed. Know agency policies and procedures - particularly for harm to self or others - and act accordingly.

Thinking of moving to the USA as a dentist? Wondering what exams, applications, and documents you'll need to practice or specialize there? Curious about how much it costs — and what life as a dentist in the States is really like? Dr. Hazel Kerr and Dr. Dorrin Reyhani join Jaz for a deep dive into everything you need to know about moving to America as a dentist.

Teaching positions can provide pathways to practice without additional costs. Faculty primarily teach and supervise dental students in clinics. Early preparation for the INBD exam is crucial for success. Clinical experience and a strong portfolio are essential for applications. Networking and externships can enhance application prospects.

Have you ever paused to consider where you truly are in your growth as a coach and what your current stage of development reveals about the way you show up for your clients? In this episode, we walk through the evolving arc of our professional identity and the way our presence deepens as we move from doing coaching to being a coach. It is a journey rich with curiosity, discomfort, insight, and ultimately, transformation. During the conversation, we unpack the three broad stages of coach maturity. We explore the ways we develop from novice coach to intuitive practitioner and eventually to a place where we work with the wider system that sits around each client. As we revisit these stages, we were reminded of the moments in our own journeys when we grappled with self-doubt, longed for structure, and later found liberation in silence, emergence, and reflective practice. We discuss what this pathway can look like in real life. Early on, the focus often sits on learning models like GROW or CLEAR, trying to get coaching "right", and wondering whether you are offering enough value. As maturity builds, the focus shifts toward deep relational awareness. Questions such as how we are being together begin to matter more than the specific tools we use. There is more acknowledgment of intuition, pattern spotting, boundaries, ethics, and the energy in the space between coach and client. As the journey progresses, the coaching relationship becomes a gateway into something broader. We delve into the systemic nature of coaching and what happens when we are able to sit in not knowing without fear. This phase is rich, existential, and deeply grounding. It calls for humility, self-awareness, regulated presence, and the ability to hold space for emergence. We reflect on how this stage can be both liberating and challenging. At times we have found it confronting, and at others we have found it to be the most expansive area of professional growth. Throughout this episode, the recurring theme for me is that coaching maturity is not time served. It is about what we integrate, how we reflect, and the courage we bring to our own development. Every phase offers value. Every phase has its purpose. And every coach will move through the continuum in their own way.

Holiday crunch time made the choice easy—pivot, try the new thing, and share what's working for educators and parents who want less noise and more clarity. We review the milestone that mattered most this year—CPD credits for listeners—so your professional learning can count toward recertification while you collect practical strategies you'll actually use.Across the season, AI literacy became a defining throughline. We highlight four standout conversations featuring innovators who make AI useful, ethical, and human-centered. From Endless Studios and its free pathway for students to build real portfolios, to teacher- and parent-friendly guidance on boundaries, citations, and transparency, we map a path from curiosity to confident use. You'll hear about Notebook LM for source-grounded studying that turns dense readings into clear summaries and audio explainers, Canva AI for building interactive learning games in minutes, and InstaLesson for drafting adaptable, standards-aligned lessons that save precious time.We also talk candidly about moving to video, why showing the unpolished version matters, and how small rituals—at school and at home—keep everyone steady when routines fall apart. Parents get practical advice on setting expectations and modeling ethical AI use, while teachers get permission to start small, iterate, and invite students to use tools responsibly rather than banning them. Innovation, we argue, is about people first and tools second; relationships and good judgment turn new tech into better learning.Season four launches January 15 with more conversations, more practical resources, and more human stories from the brighter side of education.
