Breaking The Coaching Code: How Great Coaches Transcend The Rules with Karen FoyWhat if great coaching isn't about mastering the rules, but learning when and how to transcend them?In this heartfelt and grounded episode of the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, I'm joined by Karen Foy, a Master Certified Coach, Coach Educator, Supervisor, and Mentor with over two decades of experience shaping the next generation of coaches. Karen's journey began in nursing, where her natural compassion and care for others first took root. Her love of psychology led her into the NHS, where she moved through policy and service development before discovering the transformative potential of coaching. She has since served as Programme Director for Accredited Programmes at Henley Business School, where she remains a Visiting Tutor and Honorary Fellow, continuing to inspire coaches and changemakers worldwide.Together, we explore the themes in her new book, Breaking the Coaching Code: How Great Coaches Transcend the Rules, and the deeper invitation it offers to those of us who coach to move beyond frameworks and techniques, and instead cultivate trust in our own wisdom, presence, and humanity. Karen speaks with rare humility and openness, sharing how her own path has been a lifelong process of “walking people home” to their unique selves, while continuing that same journey within her own life. We discuss concepts such as enoughness, compassion, the evolving nature of retirement, and what it truly means to live and work with integrity in a world that often demands perfection.This is a conversation filled with heart and hard-won wisdom, one that will resonate deeply with every coach, guide, and changemaker who believes that our presence, not perfection, is what truly ignites change.Key TakeawaysWhy great coaching begins where the rules end; trusting your own wisdom and humanity.The journey from nursing to coaching and what it reveals about care, service, and transformation.How to embrace “enoughness” and coach from your unique authenticity, not expertise.What the “second half of life” teaches us about purpose, letting go, and contribution.How small acts of compassion and presence ripple out to create a kinder worldLearn More About Today's GuestKaren Foy Associates & The Coach Tribe website ****→ http://www.thecoachtribe.com/Karen on LinkedIn → https://www.linkedin.com/in/karenfoy/Karen's new book → Breaking The Coaching Code: How Great Coaches Transcend The Rules by Karen Foy, https://amzn.to/42syIbKExplore Sacred Changemakers:Start your journey → SacredChangemakers.comDiscover Your Resonance Code → quiz.SacredChangemakers.comJoin our community → SacredChangemakers.com/communitySubscribe to The Coaching (R)evolution Newsletter → https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/the-coaching-r-evolution-7371571227230101504Books by Jayne Warrilow:‘Becoming: Poems From The Thresholds Of Change' →

ABOUT THIS EPISODEI had the joy of meeting Karen via an online supervision group organised by EY in collaboration with Henley Business School. Karen has written a book, Breaking the Coaching Code - how great coaches transcend the rules published in November 2025. In our conversation Karen offers valuable insights into:What it means to walk home to yourself. The journey to and of self-acceptance. And having a social conscience.Karen's key encouragements to Leaders:Reconnect with your unique self rather than trying to be what you think a good leader isUnderstand your strengths and be clear about your purpose Build your ability to have effective conversations with clarity, compassion, curiosity and courageAbout Karen:Karen Foy has been coaching since 2003, her background before coaching was in the NHS working locally, regionally and nationally on policy related to patient experience. She caught the coaching bug on an Open University summer school whilst undertaking a module from the MBA on Creativity, Innovation and Change thinking about creativity innovation and change.She heard about this thing called coaching and thought, that's the thing she does when she's supposed to be working and was blown away that she could do it as a career. She trained as a coach, built her business alongside her work, and then jumped in 2007 to become a full-time coach.She already had a first degree in psychology and the next step for her was to undertake a master's degree in Coaching Psychology which she gained in 2011. She is a Master Certified Coach with the International Coach Federation, a Certified Mentor for ICF Credentials and she has a Professional Certificate in Coaching Supervision from Henley Business School.She has recently retired from her lecturing role at Henley Business School where she was the Programme Director for Accredited Coaching Programmes. Joining an academic institution was a crash course in acceptance as she is a Yorkshire woman from a ‘dyed in the wool' working class background who left school at 14 with no qualifications.She has come to a place where she is more able to welcome her gremlin of not being good enough as the gift it is to her coaching.To connect with Karen:Website: www.thecoachtribe.comLinkedIn: @Karen Foy, MCCTo listen to other Leaders in Conversation with Anni Townend: Go to my website, www.annitownend.comA big thank you to SHMOGUS Media for the wonderful production and marketing of the podcast.To contact me Anni Townend do email me on anni@annitownend.com visit my website www.annitownend.com, subscribe to my newsletter and follow me on LinkedIn.

What if the future of coaching isn't about techniques or individual change, but about transforming the very consciousness through which we meet the world?In this timely episode of the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, I'm joined by Professor Peter Hawkins, one of the world's top 100 coaches, Emeritus Professor of Leadership at Henley Business School, Honorary President of the Association for Executive Coaching, and co-founder of the Global Team Coaching Institute. For over 45 years, Peter has pioneered systemic and team-based approaches that are now shaping organizations and leaders worldwide.Together, we explore the global meta-crisis, why only a profound transformation of human consciousness can address it, and how coaching must evolve from an individual focus to a systemic, relational practice. Peter shares why beauty matters in leadership, how team-of-teams coaching expands capacity, and why coaches today are called to act as “midwives of the new.”This is a conversation that will challenge and inspire you, leaving you rethinking what coaching and your own role as a changemaker can truly become.Key TakeawaysWhy the global meta-crisis demands a transformation of consciousness.How coaching must evolve from individual focus to systemic practice.The role of beauty in leadership and transformation.Why coaches are being called to become “midwives of the new.”Learn More About Today's GuestRenewal Associates website ****→ www.renewalassociates.co.ukPeter on LinkedIn → https://www.linkedin.com/in/professorpeterhawkins/Peter's ‘Team of Teams Coaching' Book → https://renewalassociates.co.uk/resources/books/teamofteamscoaching/Peter's ‘Beauty in Leadership & Coaching' Book → https://renewalassociates.co.uk/resources/books/bilac/Explore Sacred Changemakers:Start your journey → SacredChangemakers.comDiscover Your Resonance Code → quiz.SacredChangemakers.comJoin our community → SacredChangemakers.com/communitySubscribe to The Coaching (R)evolution Newsletter → https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/the-coaching-r-evolution-7371571227230101504/Books by Jayne Warrilow:‘Becoming: Poems From The Thresholds Of Change' → https://amzn.to/42DM1WI‘Beyond Profit: The Sacred Changemaker's Guide To Reimagining Business And Leading Regenerative Change → https://amzn.to/40g3By5The 10 Day Coaches MBA: The Small Business Book For Coaches Who Want To Play Bigger → https://amzn.to/46yJRZPConnect with Jayne on LinkedIn →

On this episode of the Economic and Business History channel, I spoke with Dr. Victoria Basualdo and Dr. Marcelo Bucheli about their new edited book. Big Business and Dictatorships in Latin America: A Transnational History of Profits and Repression (Palgrave Macmillan, 2020) is an edited volume that studies the relationship between big business and the Latin American dictatorial regimes during the Cold War. The first section provides a general background about the contemporary history of business corporations and dictatorships in the twentieth century at the international level. The second section comprises chapters that analyze five national cases (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, and Peru), as well as a comparative analysis of the banking sector in the Southern Cone (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay). The third section presents six case studies of large companies in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Central America. This book is crucial reading because it provides the first comprehensive analysis of a key yet understudied topic in Cold War history in Latin America. Victoria Basualdo is Researcher at the Argentine National Scientific Council (CONICET) and at the Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales (FLACSO), and Professor in the Political Economy Master's Degree Program at FLACSO, Argentina. She specializes in contemporary economic and labor history, with special focus on structural changes and the transformations of trade-union organizations in Argentina and Latin America. Hartmut Berghoff is Director of the Institute of Economic and Social History at the University of Göttingen, Germany. He was the Director of the German Historical Institute in Washington DC (2008-2015) and held various visiting positions at the Center of Advanced Study, Harvard Business School, the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme, and the Henley Business School. He has worked on the history of consumption, business history, immigration history and the history of modern Germany. Marcelo Bucheli is Associate Professor of Business Administration at the Gies College of Business, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA. His research focuses on the political economy of multinational corporations in Latin America, theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of the relationship between firms and states in a historical perspective, and business groups.

What does it really take to transition from corporate success to a thriving coaching business? Antonia Watson's journey reveals the surprising gap most newly qualified coaches don't see coming.The Monday Morning RealityAfter 20+ years in tech consulting as COO and Global Head of Workforce Strategy, Antonia discovered coaching during a post-pandemic career break. She loved her training at Henley Business School and felt confident in her coaching abilities. Then Monday morning arrived: "I need paying clients. Now what?"Despite her corporate background, Antonia discovered that marketing a global consultancy bears no resemblance to marketing yourself as a coach. She tried online research and mentoring, but was missing the practical steps to actually implement what she was learning.The Game-Changing QuestionEverything shifted during Sarah's Nail Your Niche Challenge with one powerful insight: "It's one thing identifying your ideal client, but how are you going to find them on LinkedIn?"This exposed her fundamental flaw – starting too broadly with "I'll coach professional women." You can't find all professional women on LinkedIn and message them personally. The practicality simply doesn't work.Going Deep for Real ResultsAntonia learned that effective marketing requires understanding your ideal client at an impossible depth. She now works specifically with senior women in STEM navigating change who want to advance their careers with clarity and confidence.This specificity transformed everything. She developed structured daily LinkedIn content, runs targeted webinars, built her website, and works with both individual and corporate clients. Many come from her former network who now understand exactly how she helps.The Unexpected TruthBuilding her coaching business became as much personal development as her coaching training. The skills are completely complementary – the deeper she understands her ideal client for marketing, the better coach she becomes.Through the Coaching Revolution's Advance Programme, Antonia gained practical tools from proposal writing to client sequences. The supportive community provides ongoing collaboration without competition, since everyone serves different niches.Her transformation from a qualified coach wondering "what now?" to confidently building a thriving business proves that with practical guidance and community support, the gap between qualification and success can be bridged.Ready to Nail Your Niche?Join Sarah's Nail Your Niche Challenge – the only challenge designed specifically for qualified coaches who want to stop marketing to everyone and start attracting ideal clients.

Is listening a hidden superpower we've overlooked?  You've heard of Active Listening, but what is Radical Listening and why does it matter?Episode SummaryOn this episode, I'm joined by Professor Christian van Nieuwerburgh, an academic who also describes himself as 'Coach on a Motorcycle'. He's on the show to help me explore what he calls 'Radical Listening'.Christian is Professor of Coaching and Positive Psychology at the University of East London and the co-author, with Dr Robert Biswas-Diener, of 'Radical Listening: The Art of True Connection'.The book offers a research-backed but deeply human exploration of what it means to really hear someone — and how that act alone can change lives. In the book and in his work, Christian blends academic rigour with road-tested coaching insights, drawing from both the lecture hall and long rides through open landscapes. He invites us to look at listening not just as a skill, but as a way of being.With a background in positive psychology and a passion for connection, Christian brings a perspective that's as practical as it is profound. We talk about how listening — when done with presence and intention — becomes far more than a communication technique. It becomes a way of affirming identity, offering empathy, and shaping culture. Christian shares why well-meaning advice often misses the mark, the difference between social and cognitive listening, and what it takes to be with someone, rather than just hearing them.This isn't just for leaders or coaches;  it's for anyone who wants to have better conversations, create stronger relationships, and be more human in how they engage with others. Listening, as we discuss, isn't neutral. It's powerful, personal, and radically transformative.Guest BiographyProfessor Christian van Nieuwerburgh is a globally recognised executive coach, academic, and author, holding the title of Professor of Coaching and Positive Psychology at the University of East London.As Managing Director of the International Centre for Coaching Psychology and Executive Director at Growth Coaching International, he bridges rigorous research with practice.He co-authored Radical Listening: The Art of True Connection (with Dr Robert Biswas‑Diener), which reorients listening from a background skill to a central act of human connection.Famously known as the “Coach on a Motorcycle,” Christian combines his love for the open road with his dedication to how we hear and are heard.

My guest today, Steve Durbin, shares why empathy, agility, and resilience are vital to managing risk and keeping your organization secure. Steve shares the biggest threats to organizations right now and how empathetic leaders foster the resiliency needed to adapt. We discuss how CISO's and risk officers can create an empathetic culture where trust and transparency flow to help protect the organization. Steve shares how letting go of control can keep you safer, and how curiosity and listening help you communicate in ways people understand. He candidly shares that CEOs who don't understand empathy are a risk. And finally, Steve offers ways to balance a culture of experimentation and empowerment with effective risk management. To access the episode transcript, please scroll down below.Key Takeaways:When assessing risk, people are your greatest risk, but they are also your greatest asset and your greatest opportunity for solutions. It is not the machine or the algorithm that will solve your risk problem; it is your people. You risk losing your best people if you're not willing to adapt to what needs to be done for the best of your organization, employees, clients, and other stakeholders.

This webinar explores the strategic collaboration between two key elements of civil society organisations in the UK: charities and trade unions. While historically marked by cooperation, conflict, and indifference, recent literature increasingly advocates for partnerships to address shared priorities such as inequality and community support, amid challenges like declining union membership and heightened scrutiny of third sector governance. Drawing on this research, our recent study with 50 charities and 34 trade unions, offers fifteen practical guidelines, highlighting the importance of shared goals, political leverage, cultural understanding, and risk management. For UK financial services professionals engaged in ESG, CSR, or stakeholder strategy, the findings offer a framework for evaluating partnerships with organisations increasingly shaping policy and social impact.Speaker:Dr Sara Abdaless is an Associate Professor of Accounting and Finance at Northeastern University London, where she also serves as Deputy Academic Director of the Centre for Apprenticeships.

In this episode of Why Care?, host Nadia Nagamootoo sits down with Claire Collins, a coach and Henley Business School Professor of Leadership, to discuss the impact of toxic work environments. Claire shares her journey from a biomedical career to becoming a law firm chief executive and, following a highly successful academic career, finding her purpose in coaching professionals who are dealing with workplace bullying. This conversation delves into identifying toxic behaviours, understanding the effects of gaslighting, and building resilience. Claire provides invaluable insights into navigating such environments, regaining confidence, and fostering better organisational cultures for all. Key Takeaways Claire's journey emphasises the importance of resilience and seeking support when faced with workplace bullying. Coaching can empower individuals to either confront toxic environments confidently or transition out with self-worth intact. Building resilience requires understanding gaslighting and developing personal strategies to counteract it. Organisations play a vital role in preventing toxicity and supporting employees in challenging situations. Clear policies, strong leadership, and allyship are essential in creating inclusive and safe work environments. Providing tools and training to help leaders recognise and prevent exclusionary behaviours is crucial for fostering positive culture. Highlights: Claire's Diverse Career Journey: From biomedical science to coaching, Claire's story is one of resilience and reinvention, shaped by her own experiences in challenging work environments. Understanding Toxic Leadership: Claire discusses how toxic leadership can manifest, from overt bullying to more subtle forms like gaslighting and undermining. Building Resilience Against Gaslighting: Claire explains how individuals can recognise and counteract gaslighting tactics, building up their confidence and reclaiming their personal power. Coaching Through Trauma and Toxicity: Learn about Claire's mission to help professionals in toxic workplaces either stand up to their environments or leave with their self-worth intact. Supporting Marginalised Groups in the Workplace: Claire emphasises the need for inclusive policies and advocates for allyship, especially for those facing unique challenges, such as returning mothers and part-time workers. Long-term Effects of Workplace Bullying: Claire sheds light on the neurological and psychological impact of bullying and gaslighting, which can sometimes lead to trauma and PTSD-like symptoms. Guest Bio Claire Collins is a Professor of Leadership at Henley Business School, University of Reading, and a coach specialising in supporting professionals facing toxic work environments. With a diverse background spanning biomedical science, law firm leadership, and academia, Claire brings a wealth of experience and insight to her coaching practice. She is deeply committed to helping individuals regain their confidence, navigate workplace bullying, and build resilience. Claire's current work focuses on empowering those in toxic environments and advocating for supportive organisational cultures.

Welcome to the Arete Coach Podcast, hosted by Severin Sorensen. In this episode, recorded on September 10th, 2024, we are joined by Rupal Patel—best-selling author, speaker, and expert in leadership and talent development. Titled "Owning Your Weird: Unconventional Paths to Success," the episode highlights Rupal's inspiring journey and the lessons she's gathered along the way, offering wisdom for anyone forging their own path in today's unpredictable world. Rupal Patel's career is as diverse as it is remarkable. She served as a CIA analyst and field agent, earning war zone service medals and recognition from the CIA director for her "superior support to the president of the United States." She later transitioned into entrepreneurship, founding Entrepreneura, and has become a guest lecturer at the University of Edinburgh Business School and external faculty at Henley Business School. In this insightful conversation, Rupal shares her path from the CIA to becoming a successful author, speaker, and leadership expert. Her career includes earning an MBA from the London School of Business, leading Blue Infinity Property Group as CEO, and launching an international speaking career. Her best-selling book, From CIA to CEO: Unconventional Life Lessons for Thinking Bigger, Leading Better, and Being Bolder, captures her wealth of knowledge and experiences. Throughout the episode, she speaks passionately about leadership, her desire to create a positive, large-scale impact, and how her diverse experiences inform her approach to developing leaders. A standout quote from the episode comes when Rupal offers advice to young girls: "Choose your peers very carefully. The people we surround ourselves with either help us raise our bar or lower ourselves to our basest instincts." This encapsulates her emphasis on intentionality in personal growth and leadership development. Rupal's journey provides invaluable insights for executive coaches and leaders. Her focus on creating positive impact beyond individual success speaks to the power of influence at a broader societal level—particularly relevant for executive coaches guiding high-level clients who can shape entire organizations or industries. Lastly, Patel's message of "owning your weird," which she also discusses in her TED talk, encourages leaders to embrace their unique qualities as assets. Executive coaches can leverage this concept to help clients transform perceived weaknesses into strengths, fostering more authentic, confident, and effective leadership. This not only enhances individual success but also drives organizational growth. The Arete Coach Podcast seeks to explore the art and science of executive coaching.

Ellen Van Oosten is Professor of Organization Behavior at Weatherhead School of Management, Case Western University in Cleveland, Ohio. She's also the co-author of one of the best books we've read about human behaviour. Helping People Change, written by Richard Boyatzis, Melvin Smith and Ellen Van Oosten was Henley Business School's coaching book of the year in 2020. And we are unsurprised, because by taking a human-first approach to change, it turns most conventional thinking about organisational change management on its head. In this episode, Jen, Dom and Cat chat with Ellen to hear what she's learned about human behaviour over the course of her career. They discuss how organisations can better help their internal stakeholders not only shift behaviour for the long-term but also navigate the continuous change that marks the 2020s. Takeaways Continuous change is a prevalent and ongoing experience in the workplace, with many organisations undergoing restructuring and leadership changes. Successful change requires individuals to have a sense of agency and to feel a personal connection to the desired future state. Communication plays a crucial role in change management, particularly in articulating goals and objectives and fostering a shared understanding of how individuals can contribute to the organization's strategy. The failure rate of change programmes remains high, indicating a need for a more empathetic and human-centered approach to change management. Empathy and emotional intelligence are essential skills for leaders and communicators to cultivate in order to create supportive and engaging environments for change. Positive emotion is needed to thrive and flourish. It's about dreams, not just goals. Build resonant relationships through clarity, connection, and compassion. About Ellen Van Oosten Ellen B.

How to master “natural” leadership, with Alisa Cohn Impostor syndrome is the feeling that you don't belong somewhere — such as a prestigious school or high-performing job — because of the false belief that you aren't as smart, capable, or experienced as your colleagues. Although it's very common for new CEOs and senior leaders to face self-doubt and insecurity daily in their role, these feelings can be overcome. Remember that leadership is an unnatural act. We don't normally give feedback to our friends, praise people we don't have confidence in, and repeat ourselves over and over. But these skills can be learned.

In this episode, Robbie was hosted by the Henley Business School Marketing Group for Coaches, where he shares his personal transition from feeling like a newcomer to fully embracing his identity as a coach.In his talk and the questions that follow, Robbie uses philosopher Ken Wilber's analogy of enlightenment being akin to having an accident – something you can't force but can become prone to – to set the stage for his approach to making oneself ‘client-prone' in the coaching business. While you can't make a client to say yes, there are strategies to increase the likelihood that you will accidentally find yourself with a client.In this episode, Robbie covers:The Prosperous Coach Flywheel, and how it can create a virtuous cycle that naturally leads to a growing coaching practice.The importance of creating a body of work, which serves as a powerful tool for connecting with potential clients before they even meet you and how to use the 12-Minute Method to make a body of work without it being time-consuming.How to navigate money conversations with confidence and integrity, ensuring that clients understand the value of the coaching experience.Transitioning from gifted sessions to paid clients.The session concludes with an audience Q&A, and among many things what comes across is that Robbie's approach to coaching is deeply rooted in authenticity, service, and a commitment to personal growth – both for himself and his clients.To read Robbie's latest thinking on Flywheels and coachings businesses, including his newly designed The Coaching Business Flywheel,visit https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/the-coaching-business-flywheelFor more information about Robbie, visit https://www.robbieswale.com/Read more about The Coach's Journey at www.thecoachsjourney.com.Music by My Good Man William: listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4KmeQUcTbeE31uFynHQLQgTo support the Coach's Journey, visit www.patreon.com/thecoachsjourney and to join the Coach's Journey Community visit www.thecoachsjourney.com/community.THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT THAT YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN:Robbie's 100 Podcasts Challenge: https://www.robbieswale.com/writing/2022/2/4/the-12-minute-method-100-podcasts-challengeRobbie's 12-Minute Article: The Second Best Time is Now: https://www.robbieswale.com/the-12-minute-blog/2021/12/15/the-second-best-time-is-nowRobbie's 12-Minute Article: The Lost Relics of our Art: https://www.robbieswale.com/the-12-minute-blog/2021/12/4/the-lost-relics-of-our-artRobbie's ebook, An Introduction to the Coaching Business Flywheel, is available for free here: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/the-coaching-business-flywheelKen Wilber: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_WilberJamie Dru: https://www.jamiedru.com/Robbie on Jamie's podcast, The Career Climb: https://www.jamiedru.com/post/climb-08-robbieswaleKatie Harvey on The Coach's Journey (first appearance): https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-1-katie-harvey-14000-hours-of-coaching-being-part-of-the-uk-coaching-vanguard-and-being-a-generalist-coachThe Prosperous Coach: https://richlitvin.com/book/Joel Monk on The Coach's Journey: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-6-joel-monk-conversations-at-the-cutting-edge-of-coachingBetterUp: https://www.betterup.com/Elizabeth Gilbert and her book Big Magic: https://www.elizabethgilbert.com/books/big-magic/Giovanna Cappozza on The Coach's Journey: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-20-giovanna-capozzaThe 12-Minute Method: https://www.robbieswale.com/about-the-12-minute-methodDruss the Legend: https://davidgemmell.fandom.com/wiki/DrussDavid Gemmell: http://www.wisdomofgemmell.com/Jim Collins on the Tim Ferriss Show: https://tim.blog/2019/02/18/jim-collins/RUNNING ORDER~7m - Robbie's Journey to Becoming a Coach~9m - Making Yourself "Client Prone"~9m - The Five Habits for Growing a Coaching Business~10m - Exploring Creativity and Overcoming Challenges~11m - The Importance of Skilled Coaches in the World~12m - Robbie's Experience and Earnings as a Coach~13m - The Influence of "The Prosperous Coach" Book~15m - The Concept of a Flywheel in Business Growth~19m - The Prosperous Coach Flywheel Explained~22m - Detailed Breakdown of the Prosperous Coach Flywheel~25m - How to Oil the Flywheel for Business Growth~31m - The Role of a Body of Work in Creating Clients~31m - The Personal Transformation Through Creating Work~33m - Susan's Question on Money Conversations~37m - Strategies for Discussing Coaching Fees~38m - The 90-Day Money Game Challenge~39m - The Importance of Creating Powerful Coaching Experiences~40m - Susan's question on the Value of Coaching~43m - Xenia's question on Transitioning from Free to Paid Sessions

“I think category management is great fun because you have the freedom to do things. It's not following a rote process. It's using structure to be creative. I think that's the great benefit of it.” - Mark Webb, Managing Director at Future Purchasing For many in procurement, category management is “old hat.” Some even assume that widespread adoption and integration of category management structures and processes within the business are non-issues in 2024. They see category management as a mountain that has been scaled, and now procurement just needs to sit back and enjoy the view. When we look more closely, however, there is still significant room for improvement in category management strategy and for expanded scope of implementation throughout the business.  In this episode, Philip Ideson welcomes back Mark Webb, Managing Director at Future Purchasing, for a deep dive into the current state of category management, including where we've been and how far we have left to go. Mark also shares the results of the 2024 Global Category Management Report, a large, comprehensive study Future Purchasing conducts in partnership with Henley Business School.  They discuss the importance of stakeholder involvement, the need for more consistency and effective communication, the distinctions between category management and strategic sourcing, and the delicate balance between internal expertise versus external resources in implementation. Philip and Mark also explore: Why 80 percent of stakeholders don't fully understand their role in category management, and what procurement can do to fix that Practical advice to streamline category planning and improve stakeholder engagement The ideal model for category management when considering big versus small teams Links: Subscribe to This Week in Procurement Read the 2024 Global Category Management Report here Mark Webb on LinkedIn The Differentiators of Category Management Leaders & Followers, w/ Mark Webb

Dr. Naeema Pasha is a leading expert in AI, diversity and skilling. She set up and led the World of Work (WOW) Institute at Henley Business School, examining the future of work, and more specifically the ethical impact of AI on work, workers and workplaces. A keynote speaker at our 2024 IoIC festival, we wanted to chat with Naeema in front of a broader audience. Of most interest, we wanted to explore ethical considerations for the healthy, fair and inclusive adoption of AI at work. In this episode, Naeema shares her ideas for how to implement AI at work in a way that avoids unforeseen consequences and that's optimally equitable for as many internal stakeholders as possible. Takeaways Ethics in the context of AI involves making fair, reasonable, and good decisions that align with an organisation's purpose and values. Generative AI adoption raises ethical concerns related to bias, job displacement, depersonalisation of human interactions, and the impact on teaching, learning, and employee engagement. The Luddite movement and historical perspectives on technological change provide insights into the concerns and challenges associated with the adoption of new technologies, including generative AI. The impact of AI on human roles goes beyond the transfer of information and involves emotional labor, trust, and relationship-building. Internal communicators play a crucial role in addressing the ethical issues of AI adoption at work, including critical analysis, awareness-raising, and the development of ethical guidelines. The conversation emphasises the need for open discussions about AI ethics, the importance of human-AI collaboration, and the consideration of unintended consequences and ethical guidelines. The ethical implications of AI adoption at work require a new language of questions and a focus on humanised workplaces and human-AI symbiosis.   About Dr Naeema Pasha Dr. Pasha set up and led the World of Work (WOW) Institute at Henley Business School, which examines the future of work, including the ethical impact of AI on work, workers and workplaces. At WOW, her film, Privacy Ltd, explored the ethics of the use and effect of facial recognition technology in UK society. At Henley, she also carried out a groundbreaking research on race equity in UK businesses, The Equity Effect. Now an independent consultant, she works with various organisations and institutions on AI, diversity and skills projects, as well as policy such as working on a UN Paper on the dangers of Generative AI. Naeema is recognised by Ifpc-online as one of the Top 50 Worldwide Influencers on AI Ethics LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-naeema-pasha-9b23b66/

Isn't it time to shut off the noise and simplify your life?  Join us as we chill out with Claire Pedrick who shares her journey beginning with her work teaching in Kenya to mastering the art of coaching, and how her walk in the Camino de Santiago reshaped her approach to life. Get inspired by her tales of how she disrupted the status quo, learned that less is more, and how music, conversation, the human touch, and making our days simpler and less complicated, will bring greater joy to our lives.  Claire Pedrick's Bio:Claire is a human who facilitates other people's thinking. A business owner. A Mother. A friend. A volunteer. An MCC Master Coach with over 15000 hours experience. The author of Simplifying Coaching and The Human Behind The Coach and host at The Coaching Inn podcast. All of these are true and each will impact how we start a conversation. With some definitions you might assign power which Claire does not deserve.She established 3D Coaching in the 1990s to bring together the simplest and best learning from coaching to support people in organizations to have more effective conversations with an edge.  Coaching for more than 35 years, Claire believes that the essence of coaching is simple and that it takes time to learn to work that simply. Her training has been as a coach (Coach University), as a Systemic Practitioner (Coaching Constellations) and a Coaching Supervisor (Bath Consulting Group). While the rest of the 3D Team are delivering high quality coaching, her current focus is developing internal and external coaches through training, masterclasses and mentoring.  Her learning lab is the coaches she listens to three days a week.  Based on those observations and noticing when transformation does or does not happen, my current learning journey is about understanding and sharing what makes for true partnership in coaching.   Every so often she go for a very long walk - in 2022 to celebrate her 60th birthday, it was 600km on the Camino in Spain. She's back to Portugal for another long walk this year.And if credentials matter Claire received the 2022 Outstanding Contribution to Coaching Award from Henley Business School for being a coach and a Points of Light Award from the UK Prime Minister for being a human!Want to connect with Claire?

For years, I've recognized that the way change happens in organizations is disconnected from the way that executives and senior leaders perceive change to happen.  Top down initiatives often fail and employees resist the change, often because the change is done to them, not with them.  They can't see themselves reprsented in the story of change.   I've been following Jeppe Hansgaard on Linkedin because he's found a mathematical way to identify the 3% of staff who influence the other 90%.  The key is informal networks.  The change catalysts you need to engage are not the high performers or even the extroverts who dominate meetings.  They are often the people no one would ever guess have influence because they have no formal power.  They are not at the top of the hierarchy.  Did you know if these informal leaders leave, the chance of turnover among the remaining staff rises by 500%?  How can you retain these people and reward them for being the glue in the team if you don't even know who they are?  Most leaders guess incorrectly when asked to name who owns the influence in the informal networks in their organizations. This mirrors my experience. Listen this episode to hear more stories of the 3 percent rule in context and also learn about the 6 change blockers.  We talk about how understanding networks better can help us increase belonging and reduce loneliness and improve diversity.   https://twitter.com/JeppeHansgaard LinkedIn Jeppe Vilstrup Hansgaard is the driving force behind Innovisor.

I love all the people you put on the show because they helped me articulate better what I think I'm optimizing for.”Tony Fish Guest profileTony Fish is a neuro-minority and a leading expert on decision-making, governance, and entrepreneurship in uncertain environments. His 30-year sense-making and foresight track record means he has been ahead on several technical revolutions. His enthusiasm and drive are contagious & inspiring, especially for wicked problems. He has written and published six books, remains a visiting Fellow at Henley Business School for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Entrepreneurs-in-residence (EIR) at Bradford School of Management, teaches at London Business School and the London School of Economics in AI and Ethics, and is a European Commission (EC) expert for Big Data.Tony was a guest on Ep261: CEOs Can Defraud a Business in Very Hard to Detect Ways. In this episode, Tony talks about his newest book, Decision Making in Uncertain Times - How can we become more aware of the consequences of our actions on tomorrow?The unsaid questionsTony struggled with how to ask better questions. He says there are two forms of questions. There are questions that we all ask, such as how are you performing? What are you doing? How are you feeling?Then there's a pile of what Tony termed the unsaid questions. He says that we don't ask these questions because, politically, we can't ask them. We emotionally feel we're not able to, especially if we don't know the person well enough or when somebody tells us not to ask that type of question. The trouble with a board is that if members don't ask the unsaid, they won't be able to discharge their fiduciary duties. Therefore, we need better frameworks to find questions we didn't know we needed to ask.So, how do we ask those questions? Tony has a whole book on how he does it. When the book gets shared, other people will read it, and they'll come up with better questions than he has.Principle versus riskAccording to Tony, when a board starts, it has all these principles outlined and tries to uphold them. But you realize later on as a board that you can't manage principles. What you can manage is risk frameworks. But you can't manage risk rating frameworks without rules. So, you create rules that allow you to manage risk. After creating the rules, you become managed against the free-risk framework you believe in because it aligns with your principles.However, over time, the rules stop working, and those rules have to have another rule because there's an exception to a rule. Tony says that when a new rule is created, or a new procedure or methodology comes along, a board should go back and question if that rule is aligned with its purpose, not whether it is helping the board manage the risk framework...

Ironically, Rebecca started off skeptical about coaching, but after researching it for her master's dissertation she became a believer. Now a professor at the prestigious Henley Business School, she directs their coaching programs and researches coaching effectiveness. Severin and Rebecca have an insightful discussion on her journey, passion for evidence-based coaching, insights from coaching research, and company aimed at developing inclusive leadership. Rebecca describes how her curiosity about coaching effectiveness led her down the path of a PhD focused on the topic. She publishes constantly to make the research accessible. At Henley, Rebecca now specializes in coaching education across certificate, master's, and other programs. Diving into team and group coaching, Rebecca explains how the shared experience and peer coaching in groups can create added benefits beyond 1:1 coaching. She's seeing group coaching excel for empowering marginalized groups. As co-founder of the Inclusive Leadership Company, Rebecca is on a mission to assess and build inclusive leadership capabilities in organizations. She describes her 360 assessment tool and coaching for inclusion. Tune in to understand Rebecca's personal motivations, hear her coaching research insights, and learn how to create more inclusive workplaces. She discusses the importance of whole person coaching, shares her mantras for courage, and explains how we still have far to go in truly embracing inclusion.
