COMPARISON: FRIEND OR FOE? In this week's episode of the Jewellers Academy Podcast, host Anna Campbell sits down with writer, storyteller, and trauma-informed artist and educator Heidi Hinda Chadwick to tackle a challenge every creative and entrepreneur faces: comparison. They explore the double-edged sword of comparison in the age of social media — how it can fuel inspiration, but also leave us feeling “not enough.” Anna and Heidi share personal stories and practical tools to help you shift your perspective and keep your creativity alive. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL DISCOVER: Why comparison is so powerful in today's hyper-connected world, and how to know when it's serving you versus when it's draining you. How to use jealousy as a “treasure map” to uncover what you really want in your creative or business journey. The three P's of self-sabotage (perfectionism, people-pleasing, procrastination) and how to move beyond them. Simple practices to re-centre your confidence and joy. Why there's no single path to success, and how collaboration and community can replace competition. How to ground yourself in your own growth and celebrate progress, instead of relying on external validation. This conversation is a reminder that while comparison is inevitable, it doesn't have to hold you back. Instead, it can inspire, motivate, and reconnect you with your unique strengths — helping you build a creative practice and business that truly reflects you.

In short order he realized that he wanted his law to be important, to make a difference to our society. He applied that vision to his work in regulatory law at Southern California Edison. He became Director of Efficiency, a role that expanded to include distributed energy resources of all kinds.The conversation shifts to Gene's deep appreciation for the field of efficiency... what he calls a foundational element for every utility to boost reliability and local economic development, to cut consumer costs and increase affordability, while protecting the environment at least cost. Gene stressed that California did it right, aligning good business sense with environmental concerns, and meeting the needs of all stakeholders. Calling it a group effort in California, he saluted leaders, John Bryson, Mike Peevey, Ralph Cavanagh, and Art Rosenfeld. They were successful in defining the role of efficiency. Gene explains that it's not a soft customer service, but part of the make-up of a reliable energy system.Gene left Edison in 2014 to work for the consulting firm ICF, noting that it was a company whose "moral compass was facing due north." When reflecting on his work there in the ICF Clean Energy division, Gene notes that he is most proud of the collaborations that he helped seed and nurture in meetings of cohorts. He found those forums most impactful. The conversation ends with a discussion of Gene's tenure at the U.S. Department of Energy where he served the Biden/Harris administration as Assistant Secretary of Energy in the Office of Electricity. While the DOE's Forrestal Building is stark, formidable, and intimidating, Gene stressed that he found the staff there to be the most committed group he has every worked with. His heart aches for the current administration's policy to decimate the role of these non-political, career servants. So then, asked Ted, "Are you optimistic?" Gene said no, he is not optimistic about the current changes, but he commented that when he was appointed, he was confirmed by a voice vote of unanimous consent, representing both sides of the aisle. Gene said, those on the R side are still there. While they knew that Gene came from a deep green background, importantly, they understood his common sense approach to energy management. And they are still there.

AI in software development sounds like a dream, faster coding, cleaner refactoring, and technical reports that actually make sense to stakeholders. But, what's the bad news in the classic good news/bad news scenario? Poisoned training data, compliance risks, and systems that are brittle and will not scale.  This week on Feds At The Edge, Alex Gromadzki, Assistant Director of Data Science at US GAO, and Steven Toy, Senior Director, Cloud Infrastructure for ICF, unpack the opportunities and pitfalls of generative AI in federal software development. From source-citing AI to data security in the software lifecycle, they reveal why small, testable use cases may be the smartest way forward.   Listen now on your favorite podcast platform to hear how federal leaders can balance innovation with responsibility as AI reshapes the software development life cycle.

It has been an urban revitalization like few others in the world. Legendary in fact. Bilbao and its metropolitan district has a strategic location near the sea which confirmed its strength as a trading center and evolution into the great economic giant of the Basque Country in the days of iron and steel, shipyards mining. But in the 1970's and 1980's it hit the skids and went into a deep crisis. As its problems got deeper people left, it physically grew uglier while its environment became more polluted. As we learned during previous conversations in 2023 https://tinyurl.com/ydh3b7fn its recovery was a modern wonder and perfect example of what the Intelligent Community movement is all about. It was a systematic plan with a flourish, one that literally defines “the soul of a city.” In 2025 for the first time, Bilbao made the ICF's list of Smart21 Intelligent Communities. We decided to go back and have another discussion with its new Director of Modernization to get more on this story of a truly great 21st Century community. Here it is. Just for ICF podcast listeners! Ane Miren, a Law graduate from the University of Deusto, has an extensive professional career linked to people management and talent development, having specialized for the past six years in comprehensive technology leadership. Her extensive professional experience in the private sector has allowed her firsthand experience with leading Basque industry companies such as ITP Group and Vicrila, the German multinational Rothenberger, as well as the hotel sector, where she led Human Resources and Health and Safety departments. In the public sector, from 2015 to 2019, she became a member of the Board of Directors of BilbaoTIK, a municipal technology entity of the Bilbao City Council. In 2019, she acquired the position of General Manager of BilbaoTIK until her appointment as Director of the Modernization Department of the Bilbao City Council on August 1, 2023.

Send us a textWhat does true fairness look like in professional certification? Carrie Abner, Vice President of ICF Credentialing, pulls back the curtain on a groundbreaking initiative that's transforming how coaches around the world become certified.Four years ago, amid growing social conversations about equity, ICF leadership asked themselves a challenging question: were they truly living their values when it came to fairness in their credentialing process? This moment of reflection sparked a comprehensive equity assessment that would examine every aspect of how coaches earn their ICF credentials. The project, completed in October 2024, reveals both courage and commitment from an organization willing to look critically at its own practices.Working collaboratively with ICF's DEIB team and an academic researcher specializing in diversity, Abner's team developed sophisticated methods to collect data, listen to stakeholders, and identify potential barriers in their processes. What they discovered led to meaningful changes: expanded assessor diversity to match growth in global markets, enhanced exam accommodations that benefit all candidates, and free exam tutorials that demystify the testing experience. Perhaps most importantly, they established ongoing feedback mechanisms that ensure continuous improvement."Most things that matter take courage," Abner notes, reflecting on the vulnerability required to examine established systems for hidden biases. The assessment represents more than just procedural tweaks—it's a fundamental shift in how ICF approaches credentialing, balancing rigorous standards with accessibility and cultural awareness.For coaches preparing for ICF credentials, these changes mean a more equitable path to certification. For the coaching profession as a whole, ICF's work demonstrates how organizations can move beyond good intentions to create measurable improvements in fairness and inclusion.Share your experience with ICF's credentialing process—they're listening and using your feedback to drive positive change.

In today's episode, host Mardi Winder-Adams sits down for a warm and thought-provoking conversation with holistic healing expert Eva Vennari, founder of The Elevate Institute. Eva brings a wealth of experience, blending ancient healing practices with modern science to guide high achievers and change-makers through life's most challenging transitions. Drawing from her own journey, including the lessons and growth that came out of her divorce, Eva offers listeners real-world wisdom on how to move beyond merely “getting through” difficult times, and start using those periods as opportunities for personal elevation.Together, Mardi and Eva unpack some of the most common struggles faced during divorce: feeling lost or disempowered, the temptation to put your own growth on hold, and the social pressure to remain relentlessly positive even when you're hurting. Eva challenges these narratives, advocating for genuine reflection, embracing both our “light” and “dark” selves, and taking the time to get to know who we truly are, both alone and alongside others. She highlights the importance of recognizing divorce not as a failure, but often as a symptom of deeper misalignments, and encourages a process of healing that goes far beyond legal paperwork.Eva shares a mix of practical strategies and insights, such as the value of sensory deprivation tanks for quieting the mind, the pivotal role of self-forgiveness, and how daily spiritual and energetic “hygiene” can support long-term transformation. Eva introduces us to her unique Essential Energy Quotient (EEQ) test and blueprint, a complimentary resource designed to help you evaluate and take charge of your healing journey.If you're ready to trade overwhelm and self-doubt for clarity, empowerment, and a renewed connection to your true self, this episode provides both inspiration and actionable tools.

In this episode, Susan Britton—a pioneer in neuroscience-based coaching—reveals why so many of us get stuck in the “Uncertainty Gap” and how we can rewrite our internal scripts to move forward with confidence.

Podcast Notes   Episode 478 Brushstrokes & Breakthroughs with Mark Ross Hosts: Brian Miller, PCC Guest: Mark Ross Date: August 14th, 2025 In this episode, Brian Miller talks with Mark Ross — a coach, artist, and founder of Next Thing Group — about the parallels between painting and coaching, the value of curiosity, and the journey of navigating career transitions. Mark shares how art serves as a creative escape and a process of discovery, while coaching provides a similar space for exploration and growth. He recounts how burnout in his former career led him to seek coaching, eventually becoming a coach himself, and emphasizes the power of intentional relationships and openness to new opportunities. Key Highlights: Mark's art process mirrors coaching — both involve starting without knowing the exact outcome and staying curious throughout. Painting serves as a form of mental reset, drawing Mark into a world of focus, experimentation, and discovery. Mark's transition into coaching began during a period of burnout, sparked by guidance from influential mentors like Dan Miller. The International Coaching Federation's (ICF) competencies gave Mark a clear framework to assess and grow his coaching skills. Relationships and intentional conversations have been the driving force behind Mark's personal and professional growth. Takeaways: Creativity and coaching both thrive in environments of openness, exploration, and adaptability. Burnout can serve as a catalyst for reinvention when paired with intentional action and mentorship. Structured professional standards, like those from ICF, can provide valuable benchmarks for skill development. Building genuine relationships through curiosity-driven conversations can open unexpected doors and opportunities.

In this episode, Mardi Winder-Adams sits down with Kim Schreffler for a compassionate and practical conversation about the journey through divorce and the often-overlooked process of reclaiming one's identity afterward. Kim draws on her many years supporting others through major transitions, not only as a phone psychic but as a steady presence for those facing some of life's biggest hurdles. She discusses how divorce is not just a legal or logistical challenge, but truly the end of a chapter, what she calls “the death of a relationship and the life you thought you'd have.”Together, Mardi and Kim explore why it's essential to acknowledge and allow room for grief, rather than simply powering through. They touch on the all-too-common struggle of shouldering every responsibility alone, especially for women who may feel pressured to keep the household running smoothly, even as things fall apart. Kim gently encourages listeners to relinquish the idea of being “Superwoman” and instead accept help in both big and small ways, whether someone cooking a meal, folding laundry, or providing emotional support.Finances are a critical element of moving forward, and Kim shares her own story of financial surprises during her divorce. She stresses the need to organize assets and debts, establish a basic budget, and approach things step by step, always keeping the tasks manageable and allowing for breathing room.The conversation turns to regaining a sense of self after divorce. Kim recommends small daily acts of kindness, like enjoying a favorite meal on fine china or turning an everyday shower into a small relaxation ritual. Mardi and Kim discuss the value of creating new routines and traditions, particularly if children are involved, and the importance of allowing joy back into life through simple pleasures. They also offer a word of caution about oversharing online, emphasizing privacy and self-protection during this vulnerable time.Kim closes the conversation with the reminder that, while the light at the end of the tunnel can feel distant, it's not an illusion and, with time, the future may hold more than you imagined. Both Mardi and Kim provide reassurance and practical tips for anyone moving through divorce, highlighting the small steps and supportive communities that make recovery and renewal possible.About the Guest:Kim Schreffler is a passionate advocate for embracing life's transitions, having experienced firsthand the loss that comes with the end of a relationship and the dreams it represented. She understands that such endings carry real grief and trauma, and acknowledges the pain—recognizing that it "really does suck." Yet, Kim believes in honoring the grieving process and encourages others to not only breathe through the loss, but also to remain open to new beginnings. Through her journey, Kim inspires others to find hope and possibility on the other side of pain, reminding us that when we accept the end of one chapter, we create space for something potentially even better.To connect with Kim:Website: https://www.getwithkim.comAbout the Host: Mardi Winder-Adams is an ICF and BCC Executive and Leadership Coach, Certified Divorce Transition Coach, Certified Divorce Specialist (CDS®) and a Credentialed Distinguished Mediator in Texas.

Silvia Resnik's story is one of quiet longing, deep transformation and radical realignment. As an alone-born twin, she carried a sense of missingness all her life — even while following the “right” path: becoming a kindergarten teacher, earning a Master's in Business Economics, working in HR and building her own consulting business. On the outside, she had it all. On the inside, she felt empty.A spontaneous vacation to Zanzibar became the unexpected turning point. There, Silvia met the Maasai, a semi-nomadic tribe in East Africa known for their deep presence, connection to nature and spiritual strength. Something shifted. She felt seen, alive and whole — perhaps for the first time.She didn't just return home inspired — she changed her life completely. Silvia chose to live between two worlds and has since spent over 1.5 years in Tanzania, mostly on Zanzibar, living among the Maasai and integrating their wisdom into her way of being.Today, Silvia is an ICF-certified coach who guides high-achieving women out of the golden cage of perfection and back into a life of truth, freedom and purpose. She blends modern coaching with the grounded, ancestral wisdom of the Maasai. Silvia also partners directly with Maasai leaders in the movement to end Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), advocating for sustainable change from within. Sylvia splits her time between Austria and Tanzania, and joined us from Tanzania. Since I was in Sri Lanka when I recorded this episode and Silvia was in Tanzania, we had a few recording hiccups, but Silvia's inspiring story shines through!Learn more:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachsilviaresnik/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/silvia.simple.life.journey/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@coachsilviaresnikLinktree: https://linktr.ee/resnik.silviaLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/Websites: https://silviaresnik.comhttps://www.simple-life-journey.com/en

ICF has its international awards program for which it is famous.  But that does it take to become one of America's ”Most Dynamic Metro Areas?” and where are they located? Heartland Forward's Chief Reseach Officer discusses the results of the ”think and do tank's” long-awaited report and drops facts behind the reason that, despite the fact it has 39% of the national population, this vast American expanse of talent, resources and states, from North Dakota to Texas, only attracted 10% of investment - until recently.  But things are changing, as Lou learns in part 2 of his conversation with Dave Shideler.

In these roles, he oversaw projects in community and rural development and small business development, and published peer-reviewed research articles on the economic impacts of internet access, incentive programs, and local food production. Shideler holds a Ph.D. in Agricultural, Environmental and Development Economics and an M.A. in Economics from the Ohio State University, an M.S. in Agricultural Economics from the Pennsylvania State University, and a B.S. in Community and Rural Development from Clemson University.

Hey team! Today I'm talking with Katie Friedman and Alex Campbell, the brains and heart behind Gold Mind Academy, an ICF-accredited, ADHD-friendly training program, crafted to support ADHDers on their journey to success. And their new book, “ADHD… Now What?”, aims to give you the tools you need to find a coach that is right for you and how to advocate for your needs. And honestly, I love this approach to the book because while there are a lot of ADHD coaches out there, it's important to find someone who is going to work best with you. So who are these people? Katie is a long time educator turned ICF-accredited ADHD coach and also a TEDx speaker. Alex is also an ICF-accredited ADHD coach, but also a psychotherapist and one of the first children in the UK to be diagnosed with ADHD back in 1990. In our conversation today, we explore what coaching really looks like beyond surface-level goal setting. Alex and Katie break down how understanding your strengths can lead to better self-advocacy and less burnout. We also talk about survival mode, how internalized ableism and societal “shoulds” trip us up, and why connection, with ourselves and with others, is essential for building sustainable strategies. I had a great time with this conversation and it gave me a lot to think about, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Work on shifting from a deficit lens to a strengths lens. We want to understand not just what we're good at but what we need in place to express those strengths effectively. 2. It's important that we integrate identity first and strategy second. For real change to happen, we need to understand and accept who we are before trying to layer on productivity tools. 3. ADHD isn't easy to manage in isolation. With teamwork and support systems, we can drastically reduce burnout and overwhelm, so it's incredibly important that we work on building connection and community.

In this episode, Mardi Winder-Adams sits down with relationship coach Ry Duong for a heartfelt conversation about love, loss, and navigating the world of relationships after divorce or heartbreak. Ry shares her deeply personal story of having grown up in a refugee camp after her family fled the Cambodian genocide, reflecting on how those early experiences shaped her perspective on resilience and hope. She also talks openly about losing her sister, a turning point that inspired Ry to turn her pain into purpose by helping others through her work as the founder of Eternal Love.Throughout the discussion, Ry and Mardi explore what it means to break old, toxic patterns and truly discover who you are after a long-term relationship ends. Ry draws from her own 17-year marriage and shares how, after losing her sense of identity in that partnership, she had to relearn how to put herself first, which is something she encourages her coaching clients to do as well. They talk about how loving yourself, accepting your imperfections, and setting healthy boundaries are the keys to finding happiness and attracting truly compatible partners.The episode also covers what unconditional love actually looks like, especially when it comes to balancing compassion for a partner with sticking to your own values and non-negotiables. Ry's advice is down-to-earth and practical, suggesting that anyone coming out of a divorce should take time to reflect before dating seriously again, to heal wounds and get honest about what you really want from a partner. She reminds listeners that it's okay to take your time, not to rush into something new, and to be aware of patterns that might lead you back into an unhealthy relationship.Above all, this conversation feels warm, genuine, and encouraging, full of helpful insights for anyone wondering how to move forward after heartbreak, rebuild their confidence, and invite more real connection into their lives. Ry's optimism and sincerity are evident throughout, and she leaves you with a gentle reminder that you already have what you need to be happy and fulfilled, even before someone else comes along.About the Guest:Ry Duong is the Founder of EternaLove and Author of Choose You, Choose Happiness. A passionate Relationship Coach with a background in Social Work, Ry has helped countless individuals and couples break free from toxic patterns and create lasting, meaningful love.

Her book reflects her core belief: "When you choose yourself, you teach the world how to love you."

The ICF Code of Ethics just got updated, and every coach needs to know what's changed. Lumia CEO Noelle Cordeaux sits down with beloved Lumia instructor and former CIA executive Bonnie Stith to break down the new ICF Code of Ethics updates that every practicing and aspiring coach should understand. (Spoiler alert: The changes are mostly reorganizational, but they're important for understanding coaching's evolution as a mature profession.) We dive deep into what these updates really mean... from the new section headings that make ethics more accessible, to how technology and AI are changing our responsibilities around client confidentiality. Bonnie shares her wisdom on the "mortal sins" of coaching... the ethical missteps that coaches must avoid, like setting the client's agenda, giving advice, or making the session about the coach's wisdom instead of the client's. Whether you're preparing for your ICF credential exam or simply want to understand how to practice coaching with the highest ethical standards, this episode provides the clarity and confidence you need. Ethics is about bumpers on the bowling lanes that help you coach with confidence and protect both you and your clients.
