“OLD HOLLYWOOD's TOXIC TRIANGLE” - 5/19/2025 (088) Hollywood in the mid-20th century was a world of glitz and glamour, a realm where dreams could be made or destroyed in an instant. It was an era when the silver screen crafted illusions of romance and perfection, yet behind the scenes, the personal lives of its stars often unraveled into chaos, scandal, and tragedy. Few stories exemplify this dark side of Hollywood better than the volatile love triangle involving actress BARBARA PEYTON and actors FRANCHOT TONE and TOM NEAL. What began as a passionate romance descended into obsession, violence, and ultimate ruin—forever marking the three as cautionary tales of unchecked desire and self-destruction. In this episode, we explore this explosive love triangle and its aftermath.

I better not show you the logo on this particular mug it's advertising. Kim, have you got something refreshing in front of me or isKim Morgan [00:00:43]:it just I'm sorry. I forgot it was meant to be coffee.Stuart Webb [00:00:48]:Oh, wellKim Morgan [00:00:48]:water. It's 5 questions over water.Stuart Webb [00:00:52]:It's 5 questions over water or any other drink, gin, is also acceptable, I'm sure. But anyway, I'm really delighted to be today in front of Kim Morgan. Kim is an exceptional, coach. She has over 25 years of experience in working in coaching, and and she believes that, that her using the coaching methods that she's been working, she's she's worked with CEOs. We've worked with parents. She's worked with families, and she believes in the power of coaching. It has a unique, insight into coaching. So, Kim, I'm really delighted to to be here in front of you today talking to you about this.Stuart Webb [00:01:28]:So thank you for make making a few minutes to come onto It's Not Rocket Science, 5 questions over whatever drink you have in front of you.Kim Morgan [00:01:37]:Thank you, Stuart. I'm thrilled to be here. We made it after a coupleStuart Webb [00:01:42]:of boardKim Morgan [00:01:42]:starts, didn't we?Stuart Webb [00:01:43]:We did. We did. Pim, let's start with let's start with that coaching. Let's start with, who it is you're trying to help. We've mentioned CEOs. We've mentioned families. We've mentioned parents. You know, what is the sort of the the thing that that brings those people? What's the the problem they have, the the issue that they have that that you are looking to help them to to resolve?Kim Morgan [00:02:08]:Do you know, Stuart, this is such a good question. Yeah. I, yeah, I had advanced warning of this question, and and it just threw me actually because I immediately went to you're right. We provide coaching in so many contexts. We provide it in house. We provide it to individuals. We we teach coaches how to coach. So I was like, well, there isn't a client.Kim Morgan [00:02:33]:But it was just a really good business question because it forced me to think, yeah, what do they all have in common? What do they all share that brings us? So so thank you for that. It was it was really helpful. So I I came to the conclusion that it is they all want to make a change. But, you know, it's it's as general as that, but they all want to make a change which will improve their lives, their career, their relationships, how they feel about themselves. And those changes include, you know, anything you could think of, but confidence changed their behaviors, their repeating patterns, those things that go, oh, here I I am again. You know? It's Groundhog Day. I thought I sorted this, but I'm back again in this familiar place. Might be health, well-being, that sense of, you know, every new year, we write those resolutions that we aren't gonna walk 10,000 steps a day, and then it's the 31st December and we haven't.Kim Morgan [00:03:39]:So, finances, levels of assertiveness, their leadership style, how they manage, their business performance. It can be anything, but they want to change it for the better. That's what Kim,Stuart Webb [00:03:52]:I love that.Kim Morgan [00:03:53]:Unifies all of them.Stuart Webb [00:03:55]:I'm so glad you've done that. Thank you. I'm so glad you were able to clarify it.Stuart Webb [00:05:33]:I'm delighted you can hear me again. Let me just go back to what you're saying, Kim, because I think it's brilliant insight. And it's one of those things that I I spent I spent a lot of my time with business owners who who tell me they can they can work with anybody or they tell me their their product is absolutely, appropriate for everyone. And they don't do what you've just done, which is actually truly drill down and think of the one thing that they're trying to do to understand exactly therefore how they can make their pitch, make their service or product really, appropriate for the person they're trying to fit people. Yeah. And so glad that you you were able to show how effective a question that one was by actually sort of doing that analysis.Kim Morgan [00:06:20]:So thank you. I'm nothing if not obedient. I take questions very seriously.Stuart Webb [00:06:27]:I like that very much. Okay, Kim. So let's get back on track. You've done a great job of of identifying what it is that who it is that you're trying to to talk to. So let me just understand now. You've got this this this person. What is it they've tried to do, before coming to an expert like you to try to, understand what it is that you can do to help them?Kim Morgan [00:06:52]:So I think they've tried to change. I think they've tried all the usual things. You know, maybe they've bought a self help book or a business book. Maybe they've been on some training courses. Maybe they've just set themselves some goals and bought a journal, and and I'm not knocking any of those things. Those things are all valuable things to do in the process. But I think what they don't know is just how complex and sophisticated and challenging making real lasting change particularly to our very ingrained sort of beliefs and behaviors can be. And I I think most people kind of assume that if we decide to make a change, we follow the required steps, and the change will follow.Kim Morgan [00:07:50]:But you know what we know, and this is where I think coaches really come in, and certainly, I hope most coaches operate in this way. I know barefoot coaches do because this is what we really sort of major on, a deep understanding of how change happens and how it doesn't happen. So the factors that bring about change and also the complexity of our kind of neurobiological, psychological, familial, physical, historical patterns of behavior that just become entrenched. And despite the best of intentions, like I said before, we just, like, find ourselves reverting in, like, simp you know, in the most simplest ways, trying to brush our teeth with the other hands is almost impossible. So think about trying to completely change your leadership style from, like, very people pleasing to slightly more authoritative or vice versa. It's really hard to do without knowing everything you need to do to be able to do it. So that I think that's where we come in.Stuart Webb [00:09:08]:And I think that's a really great summary of what some most people find themselves in because, you know, the the the problem that we all face, of course, is as you've said. You know, I look back at my history, my history as a a scientist. When I think about some of the experiments that I was trying to do when I was still a simple simple scientist working my way through the the various bits of the the cell that I was working on and the the interactions, you can never see quite what the unintended consequences of certain actions are, can you? No. You you make one simple change and it was the basis of sort of scientific research. You make a change and you go, well, I didn't expect that. That's just completely, completely blown me. And now I've got to think of a reason why that's happened then, test whether that's going to happen again. And that's quite a complicated thing when you're dealing with just, you know, what I was dealing with, which was simple bits of cells and DNA and viruses.Stuart Webb [00:10:02]:But Yeah. But you're dealing with an entire human being and the way that they interact internally and with the whole of the world.Kim Morgan [00:10:08]:Yeah. And it it's really huge. You've just made me remember a client years ago who had, a strong regional accent, and this was a long time ago back in the day when organisations used to say, if you want to get on around here, young man, you're gonna have to get some elocution lessons. So he did. He trotted off to get some elocution lessons and gradually sort of practiced and came home, to his family and started speaking in a really plummy voice. But, actually, they all fell about laughing. They didn't support it at all. None of his friends did.Kim Morgan [00:10:48]:A simple example like that, made him just give up because he didn't want his family treating him in that way. You know, even something that was quite easy to change, there are external forces that oppose it, but there are also so many internal forces. As a scientist, you probably know the term homeostasis, do you? I do. Which you can probably explain it better than I can, but it's been adopted by coaching, which is any kind of systems' tendency to revert to a set state. So is that about right?Stuart Webb [00:11:31]:That's about right. That's about right.Kim Morgan [00:11:33]:Thank you. So my best example is our temperature. Whether it is boiling hot outside or in the Arctic, our body will be looking to maintain our temperature at at, you know, that, ideal temperature. And exactly the same happens with our behaviors. In spite of all the kind of actions that we do, we will find ourselves reverting to what's familiar. And I've worked as a therapist. I've worked with families. I've worked with families where there have been year long kind of interventions to stop the patterns of behaviors in the families where they all have their role, you know, the placator, the the kind of aggressor, the person who just sits there and doesn't participate in it all.Kim Morgan [00:12:25]:Lots of work. Lots of times after all that intervention, they go home and almost as if by magic, they slot back into those places that are so familiar. So this is what we're battling against, really. It's often also called self consistency theory. And if I can just, like, share a few more examples fromStuart Webb [00:12:49]:research Please do.Kim Morgan [00:12:50]:Research from self consistency theory. There's there, are, you know, there are lots of studies of people who've won the lottery. Not all of them do this, but there's a real been a real tendency for people who've come into lots of money to suddenly, you know, go about losing it, almost unconsciously wanting to get back to what they know, the world that they know. I there was a study out recently about, weight loss in, weight loss programs, and there's a 97% recidivism rate. So after doing all that, 97% of people go back to where they once were, and some and some even put on a bit more weight than that too. Couples and family therapy, you know, the same thing. I've already mentioned it. So so this is what we're battling against, and that's why even if you're trying to make a change, you you just don't know that all this stuff is going on inside you, and a coach will be able to help you.Kim Morgan [00:13:55]:I I often say that a coach when people say, how do you describe coaching? There's lots of there's lots of sort of, you know, fairly dry, explanations of coaching. But the one that I landed on years ago was, like, being a business book or a self development book that's come to life that actually holds your feet to the fire. That tells you, you know, and makes you do those exercises.Stuart Webb [00:14:22]:Yes. And it's so important, isn't it? And you you talk about weight loss. I mean, it there are so many factors which actually begin to sort of play into that space. You you know, there's evidence that it's not only your psychology, but your body. There are so many things which are fighting against you making that progress. So you you can you you need to you need to have some some way of reflecting on that. You need to have somebody who's helping you to see the unseen. There's a concept that you'll probably know but far better than me, the Johari window, which is where you don't see your own behaviors unless somebody actually sort of points them at you because they're hidden to you.Stuart Webb [00:15:00]:And and and it's that where I think so often there's people who are sort of saying, well, don't worry about we we can get through, but we don't actually see, the the the sort of the thing the impacts we have. And I was saying about, you know, the unintended consequences. So much of what we do have these unintended consequences that we don't even notice, and we do need somebody to help us find them. We do need help somebody to help us work back towards how those, impact upon not only yourself, but on the people that you're hoping to affect.Kim Morgan [00:15:28]:Yeah. Definitely. Definitely. And, you know, these play out too. I I was thinking about coming on to this, podcast today. I was thinking about something that's happened really recently in my own business, actually. Because I would say that, generally, we at, therefore, are people pleasers. We have really strong people pleasing traits.Kim Morgan [00:15:52]:I guess that's why we got into this business. We wanna make people feel better, and we want people to feel good. And that has tremendous advantages in our business because, you know, we build rapport and empathy easily, I hope. But it has downsides too. And this week, the downside really hit me because our, accountant sent me the usual kind of monthly management accounts. And I and for the first time, I really looked at our accounts payable, and our accounts receivables. And I've noticed that we pay people really quickly, and we get paid really slowly. And and and that's not you know, that that's a great example.Kim Morgan [00:16:43]:That's really nothing to do with knowing about accounting because we do. Our own sort of desire to kind of put other people's needs before ours is even showing itself in that way. And and and in addition to that, I noticed that my accountant had mentioned that, you know, quite a few people have owed us money, and she'd said, I I've given them a gentle nudge. And I thought, gentle nudge? Isn't that telling that here we are, our sort of beliefs and behaviors manifesting themselves even in that organizational context?Stuart Webb [00:17:22]:Kim Kim Kim, you you've you've hit up on a you've hit up on a spot that we could spend the rest of this this this week discussing, but I had a discussion with a client recently who turned around to me and said, almost exactly what you've said, which is one of those, oh, I do hate chasing people for money. And I said, would you prefer to just put a note at the bottom of your invoice with keep your money, I don't really want it. And they went, oh, good grief. No. I don't mean that. And I said, you've just told me that's exactly what you've said. You basically said you don't chase them. You would prefer to let them keep the invoice and just not pay it.Stuart Webb [00:17:55]:And and I have to ask the question, where would your business do if everybody did that? And they looked at me as if to say, well, you're just being silly now. But it's exactly what people do, isn't it? They they turn around and go, I've given you my time. I've given you my skills. I've given you my expertise, but I don't really want to charge you for it because that feels dirty. Yeah. I it's nice. Somehow that money is dirty.Kim Morgan [00:18:16]:Yeah. It's really rife, particularly in the sort of helping professions. But but that point that point is really valid for what we're talking about here in terms of, you know, just changing a behavior, doing some training, or reading a book about how to run a business isn't enough unless unless you have somebody help you examine the beliefs and the patterns that are driving your behaviors. And that's where the challenge really happens.Stuart Webb [00:18:48]:Let's turn, I hope, to the thing where we can give some people some, some some free advice. Now, I've put on here a a link to your your podcast and webinars where I believe you've got some fantastic free webinars. That's on barefootcoaching.co.ukforward/podcasthyphen and hyphen webinars. But I believe you've got other giveaways that you are keen to sort of talk to people about. So tell us about the exercise that you are hoping to walk people through.Kim Morgan [00:19:20]:Great. Thank you. So first of all, I'm gonna talk you through this exercise as as sort of carefully and as quickly as I can given the time limitations. But if you want to contactStuart Webb [00:19:33]:I will I will cut I will cut you off when eventually I get bored of listening to you. So I'll try and wrap it up by, try and wrap it up within an hour.Kim Morgan [00:19:42]:Alright. I'll do the same. But, yeah, if people want me to send them the instructions for this, kim@barefootcoaching.co.uk. Well, just write to me. I'll I'll send you a free sort of download of how to do this. But this is one exercise that you can use for yourselves, you can use for others that just really, really works and then and sort of engages you with the consequences of your everyday decisions and behaviors. We call it vision chairs. It's as simple as this.Kim Morgan [00:20:18]:You put I like to put 2 actual chairs in front of myself at some distance away. 2 chairs, and you have in your mind the change that you'd like to make. And you, determine which of those chairs represents a chair of no change. A chair where in 3 or 5 years' time, actually, you never got around to it and things are just as they are today, or a chair of change. The chair that says, I did it. I'm somewhere else. I'm do I'm behaving differently. And you simply look, you know, you first of all, you look at that future chair in 3 years' time where there's no change, and you see what you see.Kim Morgan [00:21:04]:You notice what you notice. Very often, you know, some people go, that'd be okay. You know, I'm fine. But very often, people will go, actually, it hasn't stayed the same. It's got worse. It's got worse because I haven't done anything about my fitness, and therefore, it wouldn't stay the same. If I want to be really kind of brutally challenging to people, I'll keep putting another chair behind that one and another chair behind that one. So, okay, let's look at 10 years' time what the impact will be.Kim Morgan [00:21:35]:I I want to say I've used this really successfully with, sort of things like smoking cessation, and I've also used it highly successfully when working with police forces who wanted women victims of domestic abuse to actually go to court. Because it's challenge it can be challenging in those situations to see where I might be if I don't do anything. But, you know, coaching is about empathetic provocation. It's about ruthless compassion. It's no good going, oh, you're doing really well. It's sometimes we have to, like, show people where their behaviors might take them. So do that. You know, whatever it is, you might go, you know what? It doesn't matter that much or actually, I don't wanna be there.Kim Morgan [00:22:22]:Then come back, look at the other chair, the chair of where you want to be. Not exactly sort of, you know, a a chair of dreams, but a a chair of what could be really possible. See what's different about that future you, go and sit in it, and talk back to yourself today about the steps that you took to get there. So what did you do? Who helped you? What resources did you need? What support? How much, you know, extra learning did you have to do? And how does it feel to be there?Stuart Webb [00:23:00]:Mhmm.Kim Morgan [00:23:00]:And then and and, basically, you know, it takes a long time to do it properly, but the the the you know, that's what you do. You come back to the chair. You look at the 2 chairs and go, what am I gonna do? You know? What am I gonna do? Because I'm kind of seeing my future a bit here. And, it also it doesn't just necessarily work for a change. Can I tell you one more thing? I don't know how much time we've got. But it also works for business planning really beautifully. There was one occasion when I went to exhibit, one of these sort of learning and development conferences early in Barefoot's history. And I just had a few of bits of, like, 84 papers stuck to the stuck to the sort of screen behind us.Kim Morgan [00:23:49]:You know? The I can't remember what it's called. You know, that exhibition stand. And and everyone else had all these products, and it was so colourful. And I was just mortified. And when I came back, I said, I don't wanna be I don't wanna be in that situation next year. Actually, my, at yeah. The my PA at the time did this with me and said, come on then. You know, do your own exercise.Kim Morgan [00:24:16]:And and I said, and when I sat in that chair, I said, we've got products set about £10 because people, they don't wanna spend a lot. They want something small that they can pick up, something that's colorful. And that gave rise to a whole range of, little boxes of coaching cards that we sell, that whole exercise. So I I will send you downloadable instructions to do it if you want to. It's just something I do every year to go, am I going in the right direction as the years tick by in my life?Stuart Webb [00:24:50]:That's a very interesting exercise, and it reminds me of one that I do with clients, which is what I call the pre mode premortem, which is when you're embarking upon a project, you actually ask yourselves, okay. Let's imagine it's gone horribly wrong because we're all very capable of catastrophizing. So you imagine just how horribly it's gone wrong, and now now you've got yourself to that. What happened to make it go so horribly wrong? Tell me everything which could possibly have gone wrong to get you to this mindset of where everything's gone so horribly wrong and people will come out with all sorts of things. And you just put all of those on a list and you go right those are all the things we're not going to do, now let's talk about the things we will. You do have to put yourself in a different mind, don't you? You have to get into a different mindset in order to actually explore those possibilities and work out what you need to do.Kim Morgan [00:25:32]:You do. In my experience, people do it really easily. First of all, they go, oh, I'm talking to chairs now. Yeah. Exactly what I feared would happen when I came to see a coach. But, actually, it's it's, it's so powerful. And many years ago, I can remember watching a television program where it was about, parents whose children were obese, and they they actually did something like this. They sort of, did a sort of reconstruction of the a construction of the future where they had what their child would look like and be like and feel like in 10 years' time if they hadn't done something about their diet and it hadn'tStuart Webb [00:26:17]:Oh, what a lovely example.Kim Morgan [00:26:20]:Powerful powerful impact. KimStuart Webb [00:26:24]:Kim, let me come come come to my 4th question before, before I let you go back to your world of helping people who really need it. What is it that brought you here? What's what is the what is the one book or or course or or program or whatever that that truly brought you from who you were to to where you are today?Kim Morgan [00:26:49]:That's a that's a really good question. And I don't I I don't think there was one that brought me to coaching because I because I was just on a journey of devouring everything I could about personal development. I was a therapist, and then I did every course and book available. And then I I think back now, and I was I was only young, and I, obviously, had a lot of confidence. And I just thought, you know what? I think I can write a coaching course based on everything I've done. So it was a a whole mix of lots of different people. I studied NLP. I studied Freudian psychotherapy.Kim Morgan [00:27:30]:I studied Carl Rogers' humanistic person's sense of therapy, and I thought took what I thought were the best bits of all of it and created this course. The book that has made the biggest impression on me and on, students on our coach training program is called Time to Think, And it's written by a wonderful woman called Nancy Cline who I I had the privilege of getting to know really well, and she actually taught on our course for many, many years. She stopped teaching because she won't work online because she's so much about that humans human interaction. But I think everyone should read this book, time to think, which is just about the power of listening actually and giving people your really full attention.Stuart Webb [00:28:26]:I love it.Kim Morgan [00:28:28]:Have you read it?Stuart Webb [00:28:29]:I have. You have. It's it's lovely.Kim Morgan [00:28:32]:It's an amazing book, isn't it?Stuart Webb [00:28:34]:And And it does make it does make you realize the importance of being present, because you are so much more able to affect things if you're truly present. And I think that's that's a lesson that we all need to learn.Kim Morgan [00:28:50]:Yeah. And and also sitting in it is like the mind that holds the problem also holds the solution. And if you give people the right conditions to think, not be interrupted, Somewhere inside, they'll come up with the right solution for them. And it, you know, it seems to be a really, really powerful philosophy. In our team, we sometimes just do everyone has, like, 5 minutes each to say something, go around the team, and no one and we all have to keep our eyes on them, and we all have to listen intently. And every time we do that, we're sort of mind blown by how in those 5 minutes we we've learned so much more about that person than we have in the previous, like, month Yeah. Of chitchat.Stuart Webb [00:29:45]:Active listening. Kim, I'm gonna come to my 5th question and this is the question which is, which is the one that I I enjoy asking the most actually if I'm gonna be honest with people, and that is what is the question that I haven't asked you that you wanted me to ask? And this is obviously the where I really learn about, what it is that's currently on your mind and how you're thinking about what you're trying to do to affect those people that really resonate with what you're talking about at the moment.Kim Morgan [00:30:14]:I, yeah, I had so many thoughts about this, but I think the question that I would like you to ask is, yeah, what's next? You know? What's next? I was a kind of pioneer. I was a pioneer of of coaching, and I'm still passionate about it. But I'm really always looking for the next thing that's gonna help people.Stuart Webb [00:30:44]:And so, Kim, what is the next thing for Barefoot Coaching and for Kim Morgan?Kim Morgan [00:30:49]:I think it's more for Kim Morgan than Barefoot Coaching. It's, I I I I think I said, I do a lot of work with grief and loss. And it's a kind of offshoot of grief and loss that I'm really noticing in in clients and people in the world, and that is like family estrangement. There are more and more children divorcing their parents and parents divorcing their children. And I just think it's something that is, you know, people is gonna need a lot of help with.Stuart Webb [00:31:29]:Yeah. SoKim Morgan [00:31:29]:that's the I'm doing a bit of research into that right now.Stuart Webb [00:31:34]:Kim, I wish you every success with that. I love to hear the fact that you're gonna address that. And that's the father of a current 23 year old who still seems to be clinging on like a limpet, showing no signs of divorcing me. I'm sure he won't need your help, but he'll need help from people like you to do so much, in his life. Kim, it's been an absolute pleasure. I mean, a real, real pleasure to have you spend a few minutes with us, and thank you so much for sharing so much intimate knowledge of what you do. I'm just gonna I'm just gonna do the, the quick outro, which is, look, if you would like to get an email so that you actually know who's coming on to these things and gonna spend some time listening to people like him, giving huge amounts of value and and, and wisdom.

Gary Buxton admits he spends his life stuck in rabbitholes. As a psychologist and executive coach, he loves nothing more than to geek out about the evidence base for coaching, ensuring his own practice is built on the latest science.While Gary is a firm believer that coaching is always a process and never a destination, in this episode of The Coach's Journey Podcast he warns against the pitfalls of being overwhelmed by study, reminding us that it is through practice that we cultivate and nurture our own unique coaching stance.Gary's own journey has encompassed work as a director, CEO and head hunter in the private sector, as well as helping people back into work in the social impact sector, honing his coaching skills in diverse, challenging settings.Awarded an MBE in 2014 for Services to the Young People of England, Gary now trains new coaches on the Barefoot Coaching postgraduate programme, He is a qualified coach mentor and coach supervisor with ICF, and is on his way to becoming a chartered coaching psychologist with the British Psychological Society.In conversation with host Ruth Saville, Gary explores a vibrant array of concepts from psychology and coaching that centre around creating balance in our lives and having our value reflected in our work.In this episode, Gary and host Ruth Saville also talk about:· The benefits of keeping a third of your time free for play· How to nurture your task-positive and default mode networks· What psychologists have to teach coaches...and vice versa!· How to turn your friends into your marketing departmentGary also speaks about how to hold onto the value of your work in a coaching landscape filling up with new tools, technology and solutions, and how to put enough of yourself out into the world to allow people to choose you.Things and people we mentioned (that you might be interested in): Academy of Executive Coaching https://www.aoec.com/British Psychological Society https://www.bps.org.uk/Lisa Feldman Barrett https://lisafeldmanbarrett.com/Barefoot Coaching https://barefootcoaching.co.uk/Robert Holden https://www.robertholden.com/ICF https://coachingfederation.org/Three Principles and Sydney Banks https://threeprinciplesfoundation.org/about-sydney-banksCoaching Psychology Network https://www.thecoachingpsychologynetwork.com/BetterUp https://www.betterup.com/en-gbCoachHub https://www.coachhub.com/en/Know You More https://www.knowyoumore.com/Rich Litvin https://richlitvin.com/The Little ACT Workbook by Michael Sinclair https://www.hachette.co.uk/titles/michael-sinclair/the-little-act-workbook/9781780592435/The Coach's Casebook by Kim Morgan and Geoff Watts https://barefootcoaching.co.uk/product/the-coachs-casebook-kim-morgan-geoff-watts-2015/Simplifying Coaching by Claire Pedrick https://www.3dcoaching.com/shop/simplifying-coaching/Erik de Haan https://instituteofcoaching.org/erik-de-haan

Would you like to have more fun while still working in your zone of genius? Are you concerned you might need to shake things up to avoid becoming a boring coach?Ruth Saville's advice to coaches everywhere – including herself – is: misbehave more. Listen to your inner rebel. Dance in the moment and create systems that work for you.Since the COVID-19 pandemic forced Ruth to step back from her successful performing arts franchise and examine the toll her work was taking on her life, she has followed her inner seeker into the world of personal development and coaching.In this episode of The Coach's Journey Podcast, Ruth takes Robbie back to the small towns in the north of England where they both grew up, retracing the steps of a life and career that began with a focus on helping people to express themselves through dance, theatre and music.Ruth, who is one of the new hosts of this podcast as well as her own show, Women of a Certain Age, is now focusing on working with emerging leaders in all fields, having arrived in her zone of genius, taken her own approach to mastery, and become anything other than boring. In this episode, Ruth and Robbie also talk about:Big hairy audacious goals (BHAGs)Cults, pyramid schemes and other perilous industry pitfallsHow to accept who you are, in order to know what you can doWays to market yourself without exploiting othersTaking a step back to spot the signs of burnoutRuth also grapples with the models and methodologies that can fuel or frustrate new coaches and unpacks problems that have plagued certain sections of the coaching industry, making important distinctions about the ways in which different practitioners work.For more information about Ruth, visit https://www.daretorise.co.uk/ .For more information about this episode's host, Robbie Swale, 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.

With 20+ years experience of being self employed she is also an entrepreneur, having grown and scaled a successful franchise business. After 16 years Ruth decided to sell this business to allow her to work full time as a coach.With an extensive background in arts education and a self confessed personal development fanatic, she brings all this experience together to offer her clients transformational coaching. Her practice is made up of an eclectic mix of private clients, organisational and corporate work as well as supervision and coach skills training. Recently Ruth has also been working with new coaches, focusing on developing both themselves and their businesses. She is comfortable working in a high challenge, high trust relationship and has been described as a down to earth Northerner, a title she is more than happy with!

Coaching found Julie Starr without her looking for it, and she started to practice coaching before she knew what it was.As a project manager of large-scale change initiatives in big organisations, Julie was someone who people naturally turned to with problems ­– often complex, personal matters that required care and attention to their inner world.Julie acquired skills to enhance her ability to perform this role; tools like neuro-linguistic programming helped her to navigate one-to-one work, and also prepared her for the future that awaited her.At a time when coaching qualifications had yet to be developed, Julie began writing a book that would help people understand the one-to-one work she was doing. That book is The Coaching Manual and it is now in its fifth edition, having garnered critical acclaim from the likes of Sir John Whitmore, widely regarded as the founder of the coaching industry.Julie, now an executive coach, mentor, writer and speaker, has since written two more best-selling books on coaching as well as two works of fiction, all of which are inspired by her belief in the interdependency of people, and by her passionate enquiry into the nature of reality. In this episode, we also talk about:Not allowing models and frameworks to become limiting factors in our work as coachesThe power of non-attachment and the importance of working joyfullyStaying true to ourselves, and resisting the temptation to climb a ladder that is against somebody else's wallHow to charge what you would be delighted with but not amazed byHow to pursue the pathways that make sense to you in a turbulent, disorienting worldWe also discuss the biggest challenge we face as coaches: the inner and outer work we have to do to get ourselves out of the way in conversations.

Neil Mackinnon describes himself as a curious human, and his curiosity has guided him throughout a remarkable career in which he has been immersed in creative projects, surrounded by creative people, and focussed on creative potential.Crucially, he has also spent a great deal of his life listening and being truly present to what has occurred around him, and these qualities aided a sense of catharsis and newfound aliveness when he first experienced coaching.Neil is one of the new hosts of The Coach's Journey Podcast, and in this episode he gets to the heart of why coaching has become such a prominent focus of a life in which he has worked as a professional musician, a creative producer for Europe's largest centre for the arts, and now as a faculty member at the Academy of Executive Coaching.He explains how skilful coaches helped him access the power and potential of coaching to overcome profound challenges in his work, and how coaching appealed to his sense of adventure and his disposition as a man fascinated by all industries, all people, and all walks of life. In this episode, we also talk about:How to choose a coaching organisation to train withThe hidden messages that lie within our resistance to coachingBuilding autonomy through your locus of controlThe profound potency of core coaching competenciesCoaching as a relational business, in which your network really matters Neil, who has his own podcast called Creative Practice, also speaks to the deeper work of coaching, and the change that becomes possible when we find the courage to step into our shadow.For more information about Neil, visit https://neilmackinnon.net/For information about Robbie's wider work, his writing or to buy his books, visit www.robbieswale.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.

Then come tell me about being soft.'”BIOGRAPHY FROM NEILNeil is a London-based leadership and executive coach, accredited by the International Coaching Federation and the European Mentoring and Coaching Council. He works with ambitious individuals, leaders and entrepreneurs, across the cultural and creative industries, tech and beyond. He coaches people to fulfill their potential through helping them establish clarity of purpose, supporting personal growth and enabling valued professional contribution and sustained personal fulfilment.Following an early career as a professional musician Neil worked in various management and leaders roles in the cultural and creative sectors, including 12 years at London's Southbank Centre, Europe's largest centre for the arts. During his time there he discovered coaching through a transformational experience of working with a coach. This sparked a journey of discovery that led to his initial coach training and building coaching skills into his style of leadership.He now splits his time between his private coaching practice and a part time faculty position at the Academy of Executive Coaching, a leading global coaching organisation offering executive coach training, coaching solutions, executive coaching certification.

What do we do when faced with big decisions about the future? How do we get in touch with our intuition and trust in the choices we make?The Coach's Journey Podcast has been at a crossroads and in this episode Robbie announces some exciting new developments that will shape its future. He also introduces some very special guests, who are not just guests!These guests – Neil Mackinnon, Joey Owen, Ruth Saville, Alex Swallow and Alex Whitton – are in fact the new team of hosts who will be helping Robbie to evolve The Coach's Journey Podcast.

Là một trong những bộ phim được liệt vào hàng “phải xem” trước thềm lễ trao giải Oscar 2022, Nightmare Alley - tạm dịch là “Con hẻm ác mộng” - của đạo diễn đình đám Guillermo del Toro (điện ảnh Hollywood) thật sự đã không khiến cho người ta thất vọng. Chuyển thể từ cuốn tiểu thuyết cùng tên của nhà văn W.Lindsay Greshem được viết vào năm 1946, kịch bản phim được sáng tạo lại từ chính Guillermo và vợ là Kim Morgan, mang đậm dấu ấn phong cách riêng có một không hai của ông. Vượt lên trên bản đầu tiên do Edmund Goulding làm vào năm 1947, “Nightmare Alley” của vợ chồng Guillermo được cho là trung thành với bản gốc hơn nhưng đồng thời cũng khiến cho người xem thấy được những nét riêng trong sự sáng tạo độc đáo về cả cốt truyện, cảnh quay, không gian và những sự ẩn dụ xâm chiếm.Với những tín đồ của dòng phim tâm lí tội phạm giật gân, “Noir thriller”, thì màn mở đầu theo kiểu kinh điển với một cái xác bị kéo lê, một cảnh đốt nhà và một khung cảnh lễ hội diễn ra ngay sau đó, người ta biết rằng đã ngồi đúng rạp. Việc cần làm tiếp theo chỉ là thưởng thức bữa tiệc Điện Ảnh đúng nghĩa mà thôi. Truyện phim diễn ra vào khoảng những năm 40 của thế kỉ trước, kể về 2 năm cuộc đời của Stan, một người mà, theo như bác sĩ tâm lí Lilith đã gọi, là một gã nhà quê với hàm răng trắng đều tăm tắp, từ kẻ lang thang, giết cha, tự đốt nhà mình, trở thành một người biểu diễn thuật tâm linh, thậm chí, một thầy Đồng. Biết bao sự kiện đã xảy ra, để rồi sau đó, Stan đã phải trả giá cho những tham vọng ngông cuồng và dối trá ngu dốt của mình một cách cay đắng nhất. Những mơ hồ mộng tưởngKết cấu của “Nightmare Alley” được chia làm hai phần khá rõ ràng. Phần đầu tiên là lúc Stan bỏ trốn sau khi đã gián tiếp gây ra cái chết của người cha và tự đốt nhà mình. Anh ta lưu lạc tới đoàn xiếc của Clem và từ đây, những mộng tưởng mơ hồ bỗng chốc ngự trị cả bộ phim.Phần một giống như là sự chuẩn bị cho những tương lai và lựa chọn sau này, đồng thời nó thể hiện một chút gì lấp lánh trong bản chất của Stan. Người ta mơ hồ về quá khứ, mơ hồ cả về con người của anh ta. Người ta thấy đó là một chàng trai nhanh nhẹn, tháo vát, thậm chí có chút lòng trắc ẩn khi tỏ ra cảm thông với “kẻ quái dị” cắn cổ gà sống trong đoàn xiếc. Dường như chỉ một mình Stan là chú ý và để tâm tới kẻ quái dị khốn khổ kia, nói chuyện với anh ta, cho anh ta hút thuốc cùng mình, không nỡ bỏ anh ta dưới màn mưa và đã thốt lên “ôi linh hồn đáng thương” một cách đồng cảm nhất. Cũng chỉ một mình Stan dành thời gian suy nghĩ làm mới màn trình diễn “cô gái điện” của Molly để thu hút khách hơn và cũng mình anh ta để tâm tới việc xin Pete dạy nghề biểu diễn tâm linh cho mình.Vậy Stan là người tốt hay xấu? Anh ta vốn sinh ra đã là kẻ ngông cuồng hay cái gì xô đẩy anh ta? Hay ma lực của con hẻm ác mộng, ma lực của đồng tiền, của danh vọng đã cuốn anh ta đi, tha hóa cùng cực con người thông minh đầy khao khát này, biến anh ta thành kẻ mà không ai muốn trở thành?Cái không gian mơ hồ không chỉ ở Stan mà còn hiện diện ở khắp thế giới nhỏ bé mà anh ta vừa lọt vào. Đó là Clem, một ông chủ gánh xiếc chuyên sưu tập những cái quái thai trong những chiếc lọ thủy tinh kì quái và sở hữu thứ rượu gỗ mê hoặc. Là Pete và Zeena, hai vợ chồng người biểu diễn ảo thuật tài hoa nhưng không bao giờ dám tỉnh rượu chỉ vì sợ mình sẽ lao vào cái vòng luẩn quẩn của sự lừa đảo và dối trá. Là Bruno, Mayjor tận tâm nhưng sợ sự thay đổi. Và là một Molly khao khát cuộc sống mới bên ngoài đoàn xiếc.Tình yêu khởi nguồn của Stan và Molly có vẻ là điều duy nhất “Thật” xuyên suốt bộ phim. Ban đầu là cứu cánh, là lối đi mới với đầy những hi vọng cho Stan nhưng rồi, cuối cùng, vẫn bị những mơ hồ ngông cuồng cuốn trôi trong tích tắc.Đôi cánh sáp của IcarusCái độc đáo của Guillermo là như vậy. Không cần những cảnh máu me hiểm họa ghê gớm, chính câu chuyện và những chi tiết ông đưa ra khiến cho người ta phải trầm trồ hoảng sợ. Có nhà phê bình phim đã ví Stan như là hình tượng Icarus trong thần thoại Hy Lạp cổ xưa, kẻ quá ngạo mạn và tự tin vào khả năng của mình, giang thẳng đôi cánh vươn tới mặt trời mà không hề nhớ rằng những chiếc lông chim trên đôi cánh ấy chỉ được dính với nhau bằng Sáp. Mặt trời của những khát khao sai lầm đã hạ gục Stan, cái năng lượng của sự tham lam và thù hận vụn vặt đã tước đôi cánh trên lưng anh ta, vứt anh ta từ trên trời xuống vực thẳm cay nghiệt.Phần hai của phim trở nên gay cấn hấp dẫn hơn, là một cách thể hiện khác với nhịp điệu nhanh và nhiều thắt mở hơn khi Stan bước ra khỏi đoàn xiếc, mang theo Molly và những gì đã học được từ Pete để làm mới cuộc đời họ. Nhưng số phận đã dẫn anh ta tới đối diện với Lilith, nhà tâm lí học lắm mưu nhiều mẹo và… rõ ràng… Stan đã “làm điều xấu với đúng người”, theo như cái cách mà Lilith đã cảnh báo anh ta. “Cô không đủ mạnh mẽ” – câu nói có vẻ chỉ để làm màu cho màn trình diễn bóc mẽ Lilith của Stan lại là khởi nguồn của mọi hận thù trong Lilith, người đàn bà cao ngạo tài trí.Bắt nguồn từ bước ngoặt khi Stan cứu thua cho đoàn xiếc khỏi sự giải tán của cảnh sát, bằng vào trí thông minh và tài ứng phó nhanh nhạy của mình, Stan tự tin bước vào thế giới với tương lai tươi sáng cùng Molly sát cánh ở bên. Nhưng cái mơ hồ tham lam và tham vọng quá lớn khiến Stan mờ mắt. Anh ta bắt tay với bác sĩ Lilith hòng bước xa hơn. Anh ta rơi vào cái mà ông Pete vốn vẫn hoảng sợ né tránh, đó là mê cung của sự dối trá không có đường ra. Stan thề không uống rượu, không bao giờ, tuy nhiên, anh ta không thể né tránh bản chất của mình, bản chất của một gã lưu manh đã ăn vào máu. Thì ra, cái lòng trắc ẩn mà Stan dành cho gã “quái nhân” trong đoàn xiếc chỉ là một đốm lấp lánh nhỏ mà chỉ một cơn sóng trào của tiền tài danh vọng có thể dập tắt nó nhanh chóng.Chẳng mấy chốc, Stan bị Lilith dắt mũi từ kế hoạch này sang kế hoạch khác. Anh ta nhắm mắt bước đi vì tin rằng đã có cô ả là Đôi Mắt của mình, không quan tâm tới hậu quả từ những việc mình làm. Và rồi, cái gì đến cũng phải đến. Sự trả thù của đàn bà mới ghê gớm làm sao. Molly đã rời bỏ Stan, tiền tài rời bỏ anh ta, chỉ còn lại lòng hận thù của Lilith bắn anh ta một phát đạn chí mạng, tước đi tất cả và dồn đẩy anh ta đến với một đoàn xiếc khác, kết thúc với nụ cười cay đắng vang vọng và thân phận của một kẻ quái dị sẽ sống trong lồng.Tuyệt tác của những ẩn dụKhông mấy khó khăn để nhận ra “Nightmare Alley” là một tác phẩm tuyệt vời với những hình ảnh mang tính ẩn dụ sâu sắc. Đây chính là dấu ấn mà Guillermo tạo nên và ấn định mình vào bộ phim. Ấn tượng nhất, có lẽ là hình ảnh Con mắt lặp đi lặp lại trong phim. Người ta có thể thấy hình ảnh con mắt ở khắp mọi nơi, từ đầu tới cuối, lúc Stan bước chân vào Nhà Ma để tìm gã Quái nhân, lúc anh ta dùng cái bịt mắt có hình con mắt để biểu diễn và cái bào thai mang tên Enoch quỷ quyệt của Clem cũng có một con mắt ngay giữa trán. Chưa hết, một số cảnh quay trong phim cũng giống như là có ai đó – một người thứ ba – dõi theo Stan. Con mắt này hẳn là muốn nói tới “cái nhìn khác”, là Nhân quả, là “trời biết, đất biết” những việc mà Stan cho rằng chỉ là bí mật của riêng anh ta, là cái giá mà trước sau gì anh ta cũng phải trả cho những hành động sai lầm của mình.      Để có được tới 4 đề cử Oscar, “Nightmare Alley” không chỉ sở hữu những cảnh quay đẹp, hình ảnh mang tính biểu trưng với ánh sáng tuyệt mỹ mà còn là bữa tiệc diễn xuất tuyệt vời của nam diễn viên chính Bradley Cooper trong vai Stan và những xuất thần của Cate Blanchett trong vai bác sĩ Lilith. Nếu Bradley Cooper hóa thân trọn vẹn theo từng giai đoạn của phim, từ lúc là kẻ tiểu nhân hại chết cha ruột, đốt nhà, cho tới người thanh niên nhanh nhạy ham học hỏi và sáng tạo, cho tới một Stan sang trọng bí ẩn trên sân khấu lớn và kẻ tàn tạ sắp trở thành quái nhân trong rạp xiếc… thì Cate Blanchett lại khiến người ta sởn da gà với gương mặt lạnh lùng đẹp hoàn hảo như một pho tượng sáp nhưng ánh mắt vô cùng biểu cảm long lanh chất chứa những huyền bí khó tả. Đây là nhân vật duy nhất không có quá khứ cũng hầu như không có tương lai. Bao bọc xung quanh cô ả chính là sự mơ hồ không rõ ràng, khi tối khi sáng khó đoán biết. Có lẽ, đây chính là hình ảnh ẩn dụ lớn nhất trong phim, là “con hẻm ác mộng” mà Stan đã lỡ bước chân vào và không thể rút ra. Khi Lilith cầm khẩu súng trong tay và thốt lên rằng “Giờ tôi đã đủ mạnh mẽ với anh chưa” thì người ta hiểu đâu là cái kết dành cho Stan.“Khi mà người ta tin vào điều dối trá mà họ nói ra thì đó là lúc họ đánh mất mình”. Bài học lớn nhất mà Pete cố dạy Stan thì anh ta đã không thể học được và đôi cánh Sáp cuối cùng vẫn chỉ là một thứ giả tạo đi mượn không hơn.

INTERVIEW: Dr Kim Morgan and Lexie Tomlinson on Pop Up Production's 'Spring Awakening' by Emily Kerr-Bell on Radio One 91FM Dunedin

Do you pray with your children? You may feel overwhelmed and not sure where to start! Get some helpful tips in this episode of Morning Air. Glen Leverenz and Sarah Tafoya are joined by Kim Morgan, a Catholic wife and mom who is also a licensed independent clinical social worker. Here's a summary of the key points made in the podcast: Starting Early with Mealtime Prayers: The hosts and Kim emphasize the importance of introducing prayer to children from a young age. They suggest that one of the first steps is teaching children to say grace and give thanks before meals. This is seen as a natural and simple way to initiate children into the practice of prayer. Praying Throughout the Day: They discuss the idea of incorporating intermittent prayer throughout the day. They highlight the significance of mealtime prayers, morning and bedtime prayers, and even prayers during daily routines like car rides to school. Kim particularly mentions the importance of modeling and scripting prayers for children. Exploring Prayer's Historical Context: Kim recommends using books, games, or flashcards that provide historical context and stories behind prayers. Understanding the origins and significance of prayers, such as the Fatima Prayer, can help children appreciate their depth and meaning. Creating a Prayerful Environment: They stress that creating the right environment for prayer is crucial. This environment doesn't always have to be formal or quiet. They share personal experiences, like praying the Rosary in the car with children during daily commutes, as an example of how the environment can be adapted to fit a family's lifestyle. Encouraging Conversational Prayer: The conversation also touches on the importance of teaching children to have a running conversation with God throughout the day, much like talking to a friend. This helps build a strong relationship with God and encourages children to pray from the heart. Bedtime Prayers: Bedtime routines are highlighted as a great opportunity for children to open up and pray for what's on their hearts. Children often show empathy and thoughtfulness by praying for others, such as their friends or classmates. Teaching by Example: They encourage parents and grandparents to model prayer and engage in prayerful activities with children. Making prayer a joyful and meaningful part of family life is seen as a beautiful way to nurture a child's faith.

In which the Mister joins me in reviewing NIGHTMARE ALLEY (2021), which is currently streaming on HBO Max and based on the book by William Lindsay Gresham that follows the story of Stanton Carlisle (Bradley Cooper), a man making his way in the world who becomes part of a traveling sideshow and falls in love with one of the performers (Rooney Mara). They leave to make their own way and the story picks up two years later and their act is quite successful. One night during a show they meet Dr. Ritter (Cate Blanchett) who in classic femme fatale form, enters their lives and upends their existence. Gorgeous cinematography, stunning costumes and set pieces with strong performances help make this a better film. The film has a run time of 2 h 30 m and is rated R and is directed by Guillermo del Toro, from a script by del Toro and Kim Morgan. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.

Having achieved success running a popular clubnight in London and living his life by "trusting serendipity", Mike Toller wondered whether he could make more of a difference in people's lives. That thought was the beginning of his journey to becoming a professional coach and a psychodynamic psychotherapist.The world of coaching opened up to him through conversations with Phil Bolton, who trained both Mike and I at the very start of our coaching careers, and through some remarkable discussions with his flying instructor that Mike talks about in this episode.Our journeys have remained intertwined ever since, and recently we have been working together to train new coaches for a consultancy called Curve, who are doing amazing work in the world.That experience has given us the opportunity to refocus on the essence of our coaching practices, and in this episode we explore what we have learned and shared, both together and separately, over the course of an enduring friendship and a hugely productive working relationship.In this episode, we talk about:Using physical space symbolically to shift perspectives in coaching sessionsMike's role in the world's only indie air guitar bandGetting back to the fundamentals of coaching and how, as coaches, we can model healthy relationshipsThe vital importance of intentionality and how to create it in coaching relationshipsWhat happens when we make coaching sessions an embodied experienceMike is also a practising psychodynamic psychotherapist, and he offers valuable insight into both worlds, comparing and contrasting them from his unique vantage point.For more information about Mike, visit https://www.michaeltollercoaching.co.uk/ or email him at michaeltollercoaching@gmail.com.For information about Robbie's wider work and writing, visit www.robbieswale.com.

Barter Theatre Series Part 3In this episode, we're talking with three members of the Barter Equity Acting company. Kim Morgan Dean, Tricia Matthews, and Nicholas Piper. This is a compelling conversation, and they have a lot to say about artistic collaboration, taking risks, and clarity about their mission.This is the third part in out series our series on Barter Theatre, and we are exploring how the artists at Barter are able to sustain productivity over years and never compromise on their professionalism and art.  If you've missed the first two, I highly recommend you go back and listen to them. I'm your host, Tony Angelini.

Kim Morgan has a mantra for everything she does. It's about the learning space, and its power as a vehicle for change.That space is one she grew up in, with parents she describes as very psychologically aware, and Kim went on to train as a humanistic person-centred therapist before finding herself in need of "something grittier".Via Freudian psychotherapy and neuro-linguistic programming, she discovered her gift for developing training and experienced a revelation when she realised that not everyone grew up, like her, constantly absorbing new perspectives and reframing situations.Barefoot Coaching is now world renowned, but Kim established it – with its name inspired by a cherished poem – at a time when there was very little training for coaches available in the UK.Nearly 15 years later, a tragedy struck that altered Kim's perspective on her life and her work. But remarkably, she returned to deepen her practice and grow even further the many joyous success stories of more than 4,000 Barefoot alumni.In this episode, we talk about:The story of how Kim built Barefoot into one of the most successful coaching organisations in the UKHow training as a coach mirrors the process of coachingThe way adults learn, and how it differs from childrenThe conditions in which transformational moments occurWhat happens when training is both fierce and compassionateHow to honour endings in our coaching engagements, and how to make them matterKim also speaks movingly about the devastation of loss, the perspective shift that came with her grief, and the support she found in the least expected places.For more information about Kim, visit: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mdkimmorgan/For information about Robbie's wider work and writing, visit www.robbieswalecoaching.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/communityThings and people we mentioned (that you might be interested in):~5: Barry Ennis on the Coach's Journey https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-9-barry-ennis-follow-the-fire ~16: “The learning space is the optimal development atmosphere and vehicle for change in which meanings can be played with and understood.

We are finally back! On today's show, Will sits down with Scout Tafoya, aka Honors Zombie. Scout is a prolific video essayist and critic, who regularly contributes to RogerEbert.com among other publications. We dive deep into his essay film Beata Virgo Viscera and “Deep Focus: Mike Figgis' STORMY MONDAY, as reviewed by Roger Ebert,” a video essay edited by Matt Zoller Seitz, narrated by Kim Morgan, and based on a review by Ebert.

His determination and attitude took Barry Ennis from runner to leader of senior management teams and multimillion-pound projects in a television career that involved a BAFTA-winning show, seven series of Who Wants To Be A Millionnaire? and… Beyonce! But when, in a moment of struggle, he took himself through a self-coaching exercise, he realised that his work in television didn't speak to the values and passions that were at his core. He set out to find something different, and knew he had found it when - part way through training as a coach - some transformational work with a fellow student lit a fire in him.Since then, he has followed that fire to the sense of wonder he gets from the right learning, relationships which have enabled his business to thrive, and his new business, The Wake Up Method, providing organisations with a proven way to motivate, inspire, train and retain the next generation of managers and leaders.In this episode, we talk about:What he learnt from building his first business, The Guerilla Experience, (with business partner Teresa Klasener,) from their first event, to working in organisations, to what brought that company to an end.How he created his first corporate coaching offer during a call with a potential client.Why he says he runs a business, rather than works as a coach, and why he finds the term coaching unhelpful at times.The dangers of social media and how he uses it.Plus, Barry talks beautifully about his upbringing and where the stories that have supported his business have come from, including how the distinction between ‘I have a place' and ‘Know your place' has made all the difference for him, leaving him in power and not hopelessness.For more information about Barry, visit: www.TheWakeUpMethod.com, @TheWakeUpMethod on instagram or ​https://www.linkedin.com/company/thewakeupmethodFor information about Robbie's wider work and writing, visit www.robbieswalecoaching.com.Music by My Good Man William: listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4KmeQUcTbeE31uFynHQLQgThings and people we mentioned (that you might be interested in):~16: Barefoot Coaching - https://www.barefootcoaching.co.uk/~16: Kim Morgan - https://www.barefootcoaching.co.uk/about-us/kim-morgan~20: Transactional Analysis - https://www.itaaworld.org/~31: Giles Barrow - https://gilesbarrow.com/~44: Mariana Ipkendanz - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariana-ipkendanz-acc-125a70143/~48: International Coach Federation/ICF - https://www.coachfederation.org.uk/~69: Teresa Klasener - https://www.linkedin.com/in/teresaklasener/~78: BetterUp - http://www.betterup.com~82: The Berne Institute - https://theberne.com/~87: The podcast episode where I spoke to the guest, Joel Monk, about the neuroscience of goal setting was this one: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-6-joel-monk-conversations-at-the-cutting-edge-of-coaching In it, we refer back to this episode of the Coaches Rising Podcast with Richard Boyatzis: https://www.coachesrising.com/podcast/how-to-access-optimum-growth-states-in-coaching/~95: NABS – https://nabs.org.uk/~97: Kate Rees - https://www.katereescoaching.com/~101: Fiverr - https://www.fiverr.com/~103: Barry's Brag Alert post on Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/posts/barry-ennis-coach_wakeup-coaching-coachofthemonth-activity-6630457599294783488-Rrly~109: Michael Neill - https://www.michaelneill.org/~116: Abraham Maslow - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Maslow~119: Soil, Soul, Society by Satish Kumar~120: Ken Wilber - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Wilber
