Eric speaks with two former law enforcement officers, Chris and Dave, regarding their experiences with hostage negotiation training and undercover work, particularly on a Vice detail involving arrests for public indecency and the pursuit of pedophiles. They discuss how the principles of negotiation skills, such as active listening, mirroring, and building rapport, are surprisingly transferable to the world of sales and everyday life. The conversation shifts to intense anecdotes from their police careers, including a close-quarters knife fight and the emotionally challenging nature of interviewing suspects like child predators. Finally, they touch upon the challenges of modern law enforcement, including political pressures and issues within their former department, concluding with a discussion of Dave's current local-focused podcast. Key Takeaways: Use active listening, mirroring, and paraphrasing techniques in everyday conversations. Mirroring is a simple technique of repeating a person's words to build rapport and prompt them to elaborate. Deliberately incorporate moments of silence into conversations to allow thoughts to gather and enhance impact. Continually practice negotiation philosophies because skills will degrade if you do not use them regularly. Identify potential verbal triggers beforehand so you know which topics or words to carefully avoid during sensitive discussions.

In this episode, Molly sits down with Chris Vanderbilt, founder of One Step After, to discuss how his platform helps prevent a post-loss disaster by helping families manage the emotional and logistical challenges that follow a loved one's passing. After losing both of his parents, Chris saw how even well-prepared families struggle with the practical realities that follow a loss. His experience led to the creation of One Step After, a platform that bridges the gap between legal estate planning and the real-world tasks that come next. Key Takeaways: Use a clear, consistent interview process that focuses on values, skills, and long-term fit. One Step After connects legal estate planning with real-world after-loss management, covering the tasks often left out of the legal process. Families are encouraged to discuss estate plans early—beyond documents—to include personal wishes and meaningful details. The platform complements estate attorneys by offering clients practical, step-by-step guidance after a loss. Features like estate profiles and action roadmaps ensure families stay organized and supported through every step.   Quote for the Show: "It's so important to have conversations about what happens after someone passes... not just about the documents, but about expectations and stories." - Chris Vanderbilt   Connect with Chris: Website: https://onestepafter.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisvanderbilt/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61567561799302  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onestepafter/  Links: Website: https://hiringandempowering.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hiringandempowering Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hiringandempowering LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/hiring&empoweringsolutions/ The Law Firm Admin Bootcamp + Academy™ : https://www.lawfirmadminbootcamp.com/ Get Fix My Boss Book: https://amzn.to/3PCeEhk   Ways to Tune In: Amazon Music - https://www.amazon.com/Hiring-and-Empowering-Solutions/dp/B08JJSLJ7N Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hiring-and-empowering-solutions/id1460184599 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3oIfsDDnEDDkcumTCygHDH Stitcher - https://www.stitcher.com/show/hiring-and-empowering-solutions YouTube - https://youtu.be/cx0TS9AGRRY 

The Passive Pockets Pulse Check returns with Chris Lopez, Jim Pfeifer, and Paul Shannon. They break down what they bought and what they skipped, how they are reallocating between equity and debt, and the checks they run before wiring capital. Jim shares two new allocations in healthcare and coffee after negotiating a lower minimum for the community and explains invoking the Shirky rule to avoid doubling up with a new operator too quickly. Paul outlines a simple Indiana cash flow deal, a 22-unit JV turnaround, and an LP win with a partial disposition. Chris walks through a shift toward debt funds, a strong payout month, and a cautionary development story that highlights why transparency, lender diligence, and sponsor communication matter. The trio then uses the PassivePockets Deal Analyzer to spot red flags and assess IRR partitioning before deconstructing a friends and family hotel conversion with fee bloat, phantom equity, and misaligned waterfalls so you know when to pass fast. Key Takeaways Use investing clubs to test new managers or asset classes and always ask about minimums Rebalance deliberately toward a mix of equity and debt while accounting for ordinary income taxes on debt yields outside retirement accounts Multifamily is stabilizing in select markets, but underwrite with longer debt terms, larger reserves, and realistic rent and occupancy assumptions Watch for fee-heavy structures, annual-only distributions, deferred development fees counted as equity, and dual waterfalls that dilute LP returns The Deal Analyzer surfaces out-of-range assumptions and IRR partitioning shows how much return comes from operations versus exit Disclaimer The content of this podcast is for informational purposes only.

Why are so many teens today collapsing under ordinary challenges?Things seem hard because we are soft. After decades of comfort, convenience, and ease, too many kids haven't been forged by healthy discomfort—so everyday life feels overwhelming.In this episode, Greg and Rachel Denning reveal why today's teens are unprepared to launch—and how parents can strategically build resilience, grit, and holistic toughness without becoming harsh or hard-hearted.Key Takeaways:✅ Use micro doses of discomfort—workouts, cold showers, chores, social reps—to build daily resilience✅ Plan macro doses of challenge—travel, service, treks, adventures—to forge lasting grit✅ Avoid raising “squishy kids” who collapse under stress, rejection, or discomfort✅ Teach kids emotional strength and sensitivity without raising entitled adults✅ Prepare your children to handle setbacks, stress, and even crisis with courageBottom line: If you don't add challenge, the world will—and it won't be gentle. Parents must be deliberate about raising strong, well-rounded kids who are ready to launch into adulthood with confidence.✨ Memorable Quotes

Key Takeaways: Use debt wisely: John D. Rockefeller showed that debt can be a powerful tool if managed with discipline, turning it into an advantage instead of a burden. Balance optimism with caution: Business owners should stay hopeful but also careful in their financial planning to survive economic downturns. Debt and equity bring similar pressures: Even though they're different, both require business owners to deliver returns. Stay disciplined with money: Keep a financial cushion for hard times while still investing in marketing and growth. Pay yourself fairly: Making sure you earn enough as a business owner protects your personal finances and helps with taxes and retirement planning.   Chapters: Timestamp Summary 0:00 Debt as a Weapon or Trap in Modern Society 1:15 Debt as a Weapon or Trap in Business Strategy 5:14 Balancing Optimism and Financial Discipline in Business Ventures 9:06 Importance of Paying Yourself a Salary for Long-Term Benefits 9:10 Strategic Marketing and Financial Discipline in Business Management 13:36 Consult Advisors Before Investment Decisions Due to Associated Risks   Powered by ReiffMartin CPA and Stone Hill Wealth Management   Social Media Handles    Follow Phillip Washington, Jr. on Instagram (@askphillip)   Subscribe to Wealth Building Made Simple newsletter https://www.wealthbuildingmadesimple.us/   Ready to turn your investing dreams into reality?

Doug interviews Paul Davis, a business growth consultant and author of "Genius Unlocked." Paul shares his methodology for finding life purpose, challenging popular concepts like ‘start with why' and passion based approaches. He explains his four-element framework and advocates using intentions instead of goals and shares stories about achieving targets through rewards like biplane wing walks. The conversation covers why conventional advice about purpose may be flawed and how to align with your true mission in life. KEY TAKEAWAYS • Use intentions instead of goals, intentions create stronger commitment and act as a contract with yourself and the universe beyond the usual goal setting. • Your true purpose is set from birth and never changes, though it develops and evolves throughout your lifetime. • Passions are temporary and the word means to suffer. Focus on what provides lasting fulfilment through your core drivers. • Universe operates a three-stage warning system: Gentle nudges (feathers), then setbacks (bricks), finally major disruptions (trucks) guide you toward your purpose. • Four elements define your genius, inspiration (divine guidance), quest (life mission), drivers (fulfilment sources), and role (natural archetype) work together. • Avoid planning the "how" and instead set clear intentions but let inspiration and opportunities guide your path rather than forcing detailed plans. • People make decisions based on personal benefit, not company purpose or brand mission statements which is why the ‘start with why' philosophy is so flawed. • Track both current and completed intentions. Use systems like Trello to monitor progress and maintain motivation through visible achievement records. BEST MOMENTS "Every single human being will only do something when they perceive that there's more benefits than drawbacks to themselves." "Your quest is not enjoyable. Believe me, your quest is not enjoyable, but that's your mission to achieve." "The feather are those gentle nudges that you get from the unconscious and everybody gets them... That's your unconscious.” ABOUT THE GUEST Paul Davis, a renowned business growth consultant and intuitive personal advisor helping entrepreneurs build a better business, a better life and a better world. https://davisbusinessconsultants.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/pauldavisdublin/ https://davisbusinessconsultants.com/book-shop/ VALUABLE RESOURCES Website: http://dougbennett.co.uk/ Email: doug@dougbennett.co.uk LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/financialdoug/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/FinancialDoug Facebook Wealth Tribe: https://join.dougbennett.co.uk/ Download Your "Ten-Step Guide To Financial Freedom" Here: https://bit.ly/Struggle-Success BOOKS: Goals Do Come True is now live and available to buy on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3phcy6Z Think Simple, Win Big is now live and available to buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Think-Simple-Win-Big-Business/ Enjoy, and come back for the latest podcast each Wednesday.

Ally and I continue our POSSIBLE 2025 conference series by sitting down with Jessica Serrano, Chief Marketing Officer of Dig Inn. Jessica shares the unique challenges that come with localized marketing, strategies for building a strong loyalty program and tips for aspiring CMOs. Dig Inn is a fast casual, scratch food restaurant concept with locations from New York, NY to Washington D.C. Key Takeaways:// Use social media channels to tell behind-the-curtain stories and share unique experiences alongside your brand.// Local marketing requires research of the target community – observe the community through intensive good neighbor tactics. The community will dictate how the brand will show up and where.// Brand loyalty programs should deepen the relationship you have with your consumers, not just providing periodic discounts. Take your loyalty programming from transactional to relationship-driven.// Once you deepen the relationship with the consumer, you can provide other ways to reward them for their loyalty like early access programming, surprise and delight moments and more. // New ideas and innovation can come from listening directly to your consumers' wants and needs. Connect with Jessica: LinkedInFollow along with Dig Inn: Website / InstagramConnect with Ally: LinkedIn / Instagram____Say hi!

In this episode, Kirsten Flory discusses the importance of preparation and planning for your business.  It's easy to get excited about a business idea, then forgo the integral planning phase.  If you don't know where you are going, then when will you know when you've arrived?

Key Takeaways Use forward-looking strategies when investing. Successful land deals are structured today based on projected market conditions two to three years ahead. Partner with experienced developers to access opportunities like land entitlement and horizontal development that are typically closed to average investors. Mitigate risk by reverse engineering deals. Secure exit contracts with homebuilders before initiating entitlement and development. Focus on scalable solutions. Land development meets long-term housing demands, especially in high-growth Sunbelt markets. Diversify your real estate portfolio by including high-growth, high-return assets like land development alongside cash-flowing multifamily. Look for investments that multiply capital, not just preserve it. This is especially important during your prime wealth-building years.

Today's episode explores the power of storytelling in sales and communication, particularly within the contracting industry. Eric shares personal anecdotes, including a recent experience preparing for a speaking engagement, to illustrate the importance of crafting compelling narratives. The show emphasizes the need for authenticity and tailoring stories to resonate with the audience and their individual personalities. It cautions against self-centered or overly dramatic narratives, advocating instead for stories that highlight how the business can solve clients' problems. Practical tips, like third-party storytelling and avoiding "one-upping," are offered to improve sales interactions. Ultimately, Eric suggests that effective storytelling builds trust, attracts the right customers, and fosters stronger relationships.   Key Takeaways:   Use stories to engage your audience; stories are naturally compelling and can enhance communication in various contexts, including sales. Be deliberate in crafting your stories, especially in sales training, to illustrate how client problems can be resolved by presenting third-party examples. Ensure that your story focuses on the client's perspective and the impact on them, not on yourself or irrelevant details. When telling a story, be aware of different personality types and tailor your approach accordingly; some, like high-D personalities, prefer directness over storytelling, especially during a sales process. Use storytelling in your branding and marketing to attract the right customers, ensuring your brand communicates a clear message that resonates with your target audience.   Links to resources:    Contractor Sales Secrets: ContractorSalesSecrets.com   Water Garden Expo 2025: WGExpo.com   The All American Koi Show: AllAmericanKoiShow.com   Fitz Fish Ponds: Koi Trips   Book A Call With Triplett: Call with Triplett   The Pond Digger: https://theponddigger.com/   LA Pet Fair: https://www.lapetfair.com/    Atlantic-Oase: https://www.atlantic-oase.com/   Get The FREE Labor Rate Calculator from SynkedUP: hubs.ly/Q0372zyP0   Pond Professionals Alliance: https://pondprofessionalsalliance.org/   You can also check out The Pond Digger's products at:   http://helixpondfiltration.com/    TWT Contractor Circle   TWT Contractor Power Circle   And follow his adventures in the pond world at: Instagram  Facebook  TikTok

177 How to Coach Fear How do you help someone move forward when fear is holding them back? In this episode, we explore how to recognise, name, and coach fear in a way that empowers clients to navigate their emotions and achieve meaningful progress. Fear often shows up in coaching sessions, sometimes explicitly but often disguised as procrastination, indecision, or avoidance. We dive into practical strategies to coach fear, starting with helping clients name their emotions and connect them to the gap between where they are and where they want to be. We share real-life examples of how fear shows up, like hesitation about applying for a promotion or anxiety about a major life decision, and how we've guided clients through these moments using exploratory questions, visioning, and emotional sequencing. Coaching fear isn't just about solving a problem; it's about unlocking self-awareness and building emotional agility. We discuss how to engage with emotions as allies rather than obstacles and explore ways to help clients see fear as a guide rather than a barrier. Whether you're a coach or someone looking to understand fear better, this episode will provide you with practical tools to deepen your emotional exploration.   Steps to Coach Fear and Emotions Recognise and Name the Emotion Ask questions like, What are you feeling about this? or share observations: I sense there may be fear here—does that resonate? Explore the Gap Between Current and Desired States Help clients identify the emotional gap between where they are and where they want to be. Unpack Emotional Layers Ask deeper questions: What's beneath this fear? or What happens if you move past it? Use Visioning Techniques Guide clients to imagine the best-case scenario. What will you see, hear, or feel when you achieve this? Examine Emotional Sequences Explore what emotions follow fear. What do you typically feel after fear, and what would you prefer to feel instead? Give the Emotion a Voice Encourage clients to dialogue with their fear: If this fear could talk, what would it say? What does it need? Reframe Fear as a Friend Ask, What if fear is here to guide you? How could it help you achieve your goal? Check for Alignment Ensure the goal aligns with the client's values, resources, and readiness to act.   Key Lessons Learned Fear often masks deeper emotions, like insecurity or doubt. Recognising and naming emotions is the first step to transformation. Emotions are not obstacles—they are guides that reveal what's truly important. Exploring emotional sequences can help clients build self-awareness and resilience. Aligning goals with emotions and values creates a roadmap for progress.   Key Takeaways Use curiosity to explore fear as a gateway to deeper self-awareness. Guide clients to see fear not as a blocker but as a source of valuable information. Engage emotions in a structured way, using tools like emotional sequencing or visioning. Create a safe space for clients to unpack their emotions without judgment. Apply these steps to your own fears for personal growth and clarity.   Timestamps 00:13 – 00:46: Introduction—Why fear is central to coaching conversations 01:44 – 02:34: The role of fear in the coaching gap 03:04 – 04:01: Recognising how fear manifests as indecision or procrastination 05:26 – 06:50: Using exploratory questions to uncover hidden emotions 07:20 – 08:19: Emotional sequences—what comes after fear? 09:40 – 10:34: Giving emotions a voice: engaging with fear as a guide 11:47 – 12:45: Why coaching emotions is foundational to growth 14:03 – 14:33: Using your own intuition as a coach to sense fear in clients 16:25 – 17:50: Practical tools like the emotions wheel to deepen client awareness 19:15 – 20:39: Reframing fear as a friend, not an enemy 20:47 – 21:17: Final reflections—applying these techniques to your own coaching practice   Keywords: How to coach fear, Coaching emotional awareness, Emotional exploration in coaching, Coaching emotions wheel, Emotional agility for clients, Neuro-Linguistic Programming coaching tools, Reframing fear in coaching, Fear and goal setting, Coaching techniques for fear and emotions, Emotional sequences in coaching,   Links: Emotions Coaching Practitioner Training: www.igcompany.co.uk/emotionscoaching   COACHING TRAINING LEVEL 5 https://www.igcompany.co.uk/l5-diploma COACHING TRAINING LEVEL 7 https://www.igcompany.co.uk/l7-diploma   Purchase our bestselling book ”Deciding to Coach”: https://amzn.to/3UvUe9r Neurodivergent inclusive coaching programme: http://www.igcompany.co.uk/nd Resources: Take our FREE Quiz 'Which Coaching Course is Right for Me?' https://www.mycoachingcourse.com/ Join The Coaching Crowd Community on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheCoachingCrowd/ In Good Company (UK) https://www.igcompany.co.uk/ Check out our YouTube Channel https://bit.ly/378rY9a Check out our Instagram https://www.Instagram.com/the_coaching_crowd Work with Jo Wheatley as your Emotions Coach https://www.jowheatley.com Connect with Jo Wheatley on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jo_wheatley_coaching/  Connect with Jo Wheatley on LinkedIn https://uk.linkedin.com/in/joannewheatley Work with Zoe Hawkins as your Courageous Leadership Coach https://www.zoe-hawkins.com  Connect with Zoe Hawkins on Facebook https://facebook.com/zoehawkinscoach/ Connect with Zoe Hawkins on LinkedIn https://uk.linkedin.com/in/zoehawkinscoach Connect with Zoe Hawkins on Instagram www.instagram.com/zoehawkinscoach

176 Well Formed Coaching Outcomes As we settle into the new year, we dive into a powerful tool from Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) that's designed to help you set well-formed coaching outcomes. Whether you're supporting clients or working on your personal goals, this structured approach helps ensure goals are both achievable and meaningful. In this episode, we reflect on the importance of setting goals that are fully within our control. Many of us—and our clients—fall into the trap of creating goals tied to external factors, like a promotion or financial gain, which often leads to stress and frustration. Instead, we focus on crafting goals that are actionable, inspiring, and fully achievable. We guide you step-by-step through a framework of eight essential questions that can help create clarity and motivation. These questions can be used in coaching sessions to transform vague aspirations into tangible, inspiring outcomes. Jo shares how small language shifts—like reframing a client's "I don't want" statement into "I want"—can unlock surprising insights. We also discuss how vividly imagining success can ignite energy and motivation, making the goal feel within reach. As coaches, our job isn't just to help clients dream big but to anchor those dreams into practical steps that fit their values, resources, and reality. Along the way, we share examples from our sessions, like how sensory-based questions—“What will you hear when you succeed?”—can reveal unexpected details that deepen a client's connection to their goal. The conversation ends with a reminder to apply these questions to your own life. As we step into 2025, how might you create well-formed outcomes for yourself?   Steps to Create a Well-Formed Coaching Outcome What do you want? Use positive, future-focused language to articulate the goal. Avoid framing it around what you don't want. Is it achievable? Ensure the goal is realistic and assess whether it's within the client's capabilities or requires additional steps, like research or skill-building. What will you accept as evidence that you've achieved your outcome? Help the client create a sensory-rich picture of success—what they will see, feel, hear, or experience upon achieving the goal. Is achieving this outcome within your control? Reframe goals that rely on external factors to focus on actions the client can directly control. Are the costs and consequences of obtaining this outcome acceptable? Assess the broader impact of the goal—on relationships, finances, time, and values—to ensure alignment. Do you have all the resources you need to achieve your outcome? Explore tangible (tools, finances) and intangible (beliefs, knowledge) resources required for success. Does achieving this outcome fit with your values? Goals misaligned with values are difficult to achieve. Ensure the goal resonates with the client's core beliefs. If you could have it now, would you take it? A final check to confirm the goal is authentic and deeply desired by the client.   Key Lessons Learned Goals framed in positive language create focus and direction. Clear evidence of success helps align the mind with the outcome. Control over the goal eliminates unnecessary anxiety and builds confidence. Exploring costs and values ensures sustainable, meaningful goals. Asking sensory-based questions deepens the client's emotional connection to the goal.   Key Takeaways Use the seven steps as a framework for personal or client goal-setting. Focus on what's within your control to reduce stress and increase motivation. Ensure alignment with values to maintain commitment and energy. Leverage visualisation and sensory cues to amplify connection to the goal. Don't fear revisiting steps; refining a goal is progress, not failure.   Timestamps 00:03 – 00:47: Introduction—why we're focusing on well-formed coaching outcomes 00:47 – 01:41: Setting goals that are fully within your control 02:10 – 03:07: Coaching isn't just about goals—it's about clarity and exploration 04:03 – 04:25: Step 1: What do you want? 06:22 – 06:49: Step 2: Is it achievable? 08:36 – 09:32: Step 3: What will you accept as evidence? 11:30 – 12:26: Step 4: Is achieving this within your control? 14:10 – 14:39: Step 5: Are the costs and consequences acceptable? 16:36 – 17:31: Step 6: Do you have the resources you need? 17:59 – 18:26: Step 7: Does it fit with your values? 18:55 – 19:21: Step 8: If you could have it now, would you take it? 20:20 – 21:17: Wrapping up—applying the framework to yourself Keywords Well-formed coaching outcomes, NLP goal-setting framework, Coaching questions for clarity, Goal-setting techniques for coaches, Achievable coaching goals, Creating aligned goals, Coaching and values alignment, Positive language for goal setting, Reducing anxiety in goal achievement, Coaching framework for success   Links: COACHING TRAINING LEVEL 5 https://www.igcompany.co.uk/l5-diploma COACHING TRAINING LEVEL 7 https://www.igcompany.co.uk/l7-diploma   Purchase our bestselling book ”Deciding to Coach”: https://amzn.to/3UvUe9r Neurodivergent inclusive coaching programme: http://www.igcompany.co.uk/nd Resources: Take our FREE Quiz 'Which Coaching Course is Right for Me?' https://www.mycoachingcourse.com/ Join The Coaching Crowd Community on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheCoachingCrowd/ In Good Company (UK) https://www.igcompany.co.uk/ Check out our YouTube Channel https://bit.ly/378rY9a Check out our Instagram https://www.Instagram.com/the_coaching_crowd Work with Jo Wheatley as your Emotions Coach https://www.jowheatley.com Connect with Jo Wheatley on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jo_wheatley_coaching/  Connect with Jo Wheatley on LinkedIn https://uk.linkedin.com/in/joannewheatley Work with Zoe Hawkins as your Courageous Leadership Coach https://www.zoe-hawkins.com  Connect with Zoe Hawkins on Facebook https://facebook.com/zoehawkinscoach/ Connect with Zoe Hawkins on LinkedIn https://uk.linkedin.com/in/zoehawkinscoach Connect with Zoe Hawkins on Instagram www.instagram.com/zoehawkinscoach

173 8 End of Year Questions In this reflective end-of-year episode, we guide listeners through 8 powerful coaching questions to close out 2024 and set intentions for 2025. Inspired by the idea of Christmas crackers but swapping out cheesey jokes for meaningful questions, we pair reflection with forward-thinking, encouraging listeners to pause, reflect, and plan. The episode begins with a question about what has influenced you this year—whether people, events, or personal experiences—and pairs it with a forward-looking prompt: Who am I becoming? Drawing on vivid metaphors of life paths, we invite listeners to consider whether they are following familiar routes, veering off onto less-trodden trails, or creating entirely new pathways. Listeners are then asked to explore their world work—the contribution they've made, whether large or small, to the world around them. we emphasise that world work doesn't need to be grandiose; acts of kindness, caregiving, and listening all count. This reflection naturally flows into the forward-looking question: What is the world calling you to do? A deeper emotional exploration comes next: What have you denied yourself this year? From experiences to emotions like joy or anxiety, we highlight the importance of identifying unconscious denials and bringing them into awareness. The follow-up question, What will you allow or welcome in next year?, encourages listeners to grant themselves permission to embrace what truly matters. Finally, the episode turns toward gratitude. Listeners reflect on what and who they are most grateful for and are challenged to consider how they will share that gratitude in the year ahead. From personal stories of transformative gratitude to ideas about paying it forward, we remind everyone that gratitude, when shared, becomes even more powerful. As the year closes, this episode is a reflective companion for anyone seeking clarity, growth, and intention for the new year. The 8 End-of-Year Coaching Questions What has influenced me this year? Who am I becoming? What world work have I done this year? What is the world calling me to do? What have I denied myself this year? What will I allow or welcome in next year? What and who am I most grateful for this year? How will I share my gratitude in the year ahead? In this Episode you will Learn: Reflection unlocks clarity: Pausing to review the past year helps identify influences and set intentional goals for the future. Small contributions matter: “World work” can be simple acts of kindness, caregiving, or listening. Awareness changes patterns: Recognizing what you've denied yourself allows for conscious choices moving forward. Gratitude is grounding and powerful: Sharing gratitude amplifies its impact and fosters connection. Intention shapes who you become: By asking who you choose to be, you align actions with desired growth. Key Takeaways Use these 8 coaching questions as journaling prompts or conversation starters for reflection. Don't underestimate the small ways you contribute to the world—kindness, care, and attention all matter. Acknowledge the emotions or experiences you may have denied yourself and give yourself permission to embrace them. Gratitude is transformative when shared—consider how you can express it more intentionally in the coming year. Life paths are yours to create—are you following the familiar, stepping off the track, or forging new trails?   Timestamps 00:03 – 01:00: Introduction – 8 End-of-Year Coaching Questions explained 01:14 – 02:28: Question 1: What has influenced me this year? 02:28 – 03:44: Question 2: Who am I becoming? 04:13 – 05:25: Question 3: What world work have I done this year? 05:25 – 06:48: Question 4: What is the world calling me to do? 07:05 – 08:42: Question 5: What have I denied myself this year? 11:25 – 12:04: Question 6: What will I allow or welcome in next year? 12:48 – 15:10: Question 7: What and who am I grateful for this year? 18:32 – 21:56: Question 8: How will I share my gratitude in the year ahead? 21:56 – 22:20: Closing reflections and gratitude for the listeners Keywords End-of-year reflection questions, Coaching questions for personal growth, Setting intentions for the new year, Gratitude reflection exercises, How to plan for the year ahead, Personal growth coaching tools, Coaching Crowd podcast, World work and contribution, Reflective journaling prompts, Emotional awareness and gratitude,   Links: COACHING TRAINING LEVEL 5 https://www.igcompany.co.uk/l5-diploma COACHING TRAINING LEVEL 7 https://www.igcompany.co.uk/l7-diploma   Purchase our bestselling book ”Deciding to Coach”: https://amzn.to/3UvUe9r Neurodivergent inclusive coaching programme: http://www.igcompany.co.uk/nd Resources: Take our FREE Quiz 'Which Coaching Course is Right for Me?' https://www.mycoachingcourse.com/ Join The Coaching Crowd Community on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheCoachingCrowd/ In Good Company (UK) https://www.igcompany.co.uk/ Check out our YouTube Channel https://bit.ly/378rY9a Check out our Instagram https://www.Instagram.com/the_coaching_crowd Work with Jo Wheatley as your Emotions Coach https://www.jowheatley.com Connect with Jo Wheatley on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jo_wheatley_coaching/  Connect with Jo Wheatley on LinkedIn https://uk.linkedin.com/in/joannewheatley Work with Zoe Hawkins as your Courageous Leadership Coach https://www.zoe-hawkins.com  Connect with Zoe Hawkins on Facebook https://facebook.com/zoehawkinscoach/ Connect with Zoe Hawkins on LinkedIn https://uk.linkedin.com/in/zoehawkinscoach Connect with Zoe Hawkins on Instagram www.instagram.com/zoehawkinscoach

Lucinda is joined by Neil Thompson, founder of Teach the Geek, to explore how technical experts can enhance their presentation skills. Drawing from his own experiences as a former engineer in the medical device industry, Neil shares insights on the common pitfalls technical professionals face when communicating with non-technical audiences, such as the overuse of jargon and a lack of empathy for the audience's understanding KEY TAKEAWAYS Use plain language and avoid technical jargon or acronyms that non-technical audiences may not understand. Instead, opt for simpler terms and analogies to convey complex ideas. Remember that not everyone has the same technical background. Consider the perspective of your audience and tailor your message to their level of understanding. Incorporate storytelling into presentations to make technical information more relatable and engaging. This helps the audience connect with the material and understand its relevance. Clearly define what you want your audience to do after your presentation. Start with the desired outcome in mind and structure your content to lead to that conclusion. BEST MOMENTS "Technical jargon is a big issue. We assume non-technical people know these words, but a lot of times they don't. We should use more analogies and simpler words to communicate effectively." "If you're the technical person, you may not see it as part of your job to do that translation. It's not until you want that promotion that you realise the importance of communication." "Storytelling is really important. If you want people to follow what you're saying, couching technical data in the form of a story can help non-technical people understand."
