In this episode of The Business of Coaching, Sarah sits down with the inspiring Dr Wendy Nicholls. Wendy pulls back the curtain on her 20-year career as an academic psychologist, details a massive market pivot she had to make, and shares how she built a highly successful, multi-stream coaching business.About the Guest: Dr Wendy NichollsDr Wendy Nicholls is a Chartered Coaching Psychologist and an EMCC-accredited coach who spent over two decades in academia. While designing health behaviour interventions at her university, she realised she wanted to be in the room doing the transformational work directly with individuals. This led her to establish an incredibly popular internal coaching program for faculty navigating major life events like parental and maternity leave. Today, she operates an independent, thriving coaching practice tailored specifically to academics.Sarah and Wendy discuss what it actually takes to build a sustainable coaching business, how to deal with unexpected market disruptions, and why relying on the word "coaching" is a losing strategy. Key highlights include:The 70-Hour Week Reality: Before joining The Coaching Revolution (TCR) in July 2024, Wendy was exhausted, working over 70 hours a week across five different universities using casual contracts to "keep the lights on" after taking voluntary redundancy. The Unexpected Market Nose-Dive: Wendy candidly shares how her original dream business—using psychology for weight management coaching—was completely disrupted when weight-loss medications like Mounjaro hit the mainstream. The Strategic Pivot: How she let go of what wasn't commercially viable and aligned her focus with her true lived experience: supporting stuck academics standing at career crossroads in a higher education sector facing crisis. Why Academics Don't Buy "Coaching": Wendy explains that scientists, engineers, and practitioners look for evidence and often view the word coaching as remedial or "happy-clappy". Instead, they buy outcomes—like getting paperwork off their desk, overcoming writer's block, or reclaiming their core purpose from bureaucratic overload. Systematising the Income Streams: How Wendy moved from offering free LinkedIn workshops to building a secure, highly profitable business consisting of 21 one-to-one client packages, corporate group coaching commissions, and paid speaking gigs. "Talking about the outcome is what matters. People buy outcomes; they don't buy coaching."Have you enjoyed this episode?

As grocery prices rise and political pressure mounts, radical solutions are back on the table – including state-owned food stores. In this essay, Jimmy Nicholls, writer of Poke the Bear and host of The Right Dishonourable podcast, examines New York's experiment under mayor Zohran Mamdani, arguing that public supermarkets are a costly illusion. With razor-thin margins and global supply chains driving prices, Nicholls suggests that even the most ambitious politicians cannot outmaneuver basic economics – and that taxpayers may end up footing the bill for a policy destined to disappoint.Despatch brings you the best articles from CapX's unrivalled daily newsletter.Stay informed with CapX's unmissable daily briefings from the heart of Westminster.

This week, Sam Johnsson hijacks the podcast while I'm off on a skiing holiday in Austria and he takes on a topic that might not sound flashy, but can quietly change everything in a farm business: building a strong financial system. Because for a lot of farm owners, the numbers are still something that sit in the background until they become a problem. And that's a hard way to lead. When the books are behind, the reporting is patchy, or the numbers only come out at tax time, it leaves people making big decisions without a clear view of where the business is actually at. That creates stress, second-guessing, and a constant sense of being on the back foot. In this conversation, Sam is joined by Jayne Walsh, Tim Fowler, Renee Nicholls, and Bec Balfour to unpack what good financial management actually looks like in a real farm business. Between them, they bring lived experience from multi-generational farming operations, succession, enterprise management, and bookkeeping support for rural businesses. And what comes through clearly is this: strong financial systems are not just about compliance. They are about clarity, confidence, and better decisions. We explore the gap between “doing the books” and actually using your numbers to lead the business well. From clean data and simple chart-of-accounts structures, through to forecasting, enterprise analysis, cashflow visibility, and stronger conversations with banks, this is a practical discussion about getting out of reactive mode and into a much more proactive way of operating. Here's what we uncover: Why weekly reconciliations and end-of-month processes create confidence in the numbers How forecasting helps you adjust as the season changes instead of reacting too late The value of enterprise-level reporting to understand what is and is not making money Why banks and lenders respond better when your numbers are current, clear, and well presented Practical first steps for farm businesses wanting to improve their financial systems this year If you've ever felt like the financial side of the business is heavier than it should be, this episode is a good reminder that you're not bad at business, you just might not have the right system yet. Because the goal here is not to become an accountant. It's to build enough visibility and rhythm around the numbers that you can lead with more confidence, make better decisions earlier, and stop carrying that constant uncertainty in your head. Bec Balfour from Rembiz Bookkeeping and Renee Nicholls from RN Business Consulting both work with rural businesses to bring more clarity, structure, and confidence to the numbers.

What happens when obedience to God costs you the dream you spent years building? In this episode of the Worship Online Podcast, Keith sits down with worship leader, songwriter, and author Brooke Nicholls to talk about the unexpected reality of following God when it leads somewhere you didn't plan. Brooke shares the deeply personal story of leaving a thriving career, moving across Canada to pastor a church, and wrestling with the painful feeling that everything she had built was being stripped away. But what she discovered on the other side completely changed how she understands blessing, calling, and the presence of God. If you're a worship leader, musician, or ministry leader who has ever wrestled with comparison, platform, calling, or surrender, this conversation will speak directly to your heart. Plus Brooke shares some practical things she has implemented at her multi-site church. You'll learn: Why success in worship ministry can be dangerously misleading How God often works through the crushing of our plans The one promise that actually defines biblical blessing Listen now and be reminded why we lead worship in the first place.

If your daughter is constantly comparing herself to other athletes more than focusing on her own game, or losing confidence this is your episode! Have her take this quiz to find out your competitor style: elitecompetitor.com/athlete Comparison is one of the most common confidence killers in girl athletes. It feels normal. It even feels productive sometimes. But when her focus is on everyone else, she loses the one thing that actually moves the needle - her own game.
The more things change, the more they stay the same. As the Formula One season kicked off on Sunday, we saw the advent of full hybrid racing at the top level for the first time. A full 50/50 split between internal combustion and electrical power at the pinnacle of motorsport. Quite the change. And then Mercedes ran off into the distance. More of the same (mostly).The world of cars is changing, slowly but definitively. Although the ban on fully petrol and diesel powered cars seems to be the can that will be endlessly kicked down the road, more and more people are turning to hybrid and electric cars with each passing month. It's not always easy to make sense of it all, especially in the luxury world, so naturally I made a few phone calls and got Country Life's car aficionado, Adam Hay-Nicholls, to come on and so some explaining.Subscribe to the Country Life podcast on Apple PodcastsSubscribe to the Country Life podcast on SpotifySubscribe to the Country Life podcast on AudibleWe talked about growing up in the age of internal combustion, and what the transition to electric means for both the consumer and the professional car journalist. We chatted about the upcoming Formula One season, and whether anyone will really notice the difference (the answer is no, but also yes, a bit). And then of course we segued.Why did Adam once meet a sheikh in Dubai who owned Saddam Hussein's watch? Why did Adam once land a helicopter outside of a biker bar in Revelstoke, Canada? And why is he writing a new book on all things Bugatti, which means he must simply go and drive the new £4 million Tourbillon? All essential in a day's work, and you'll have to tune in to find out the answers.Episode creditsHost: James FisherGuest: Adam Hay-NichollsEditor and producer: Toby KeelMusic: JuliusH via Pixabay Hosted on Acast.

What happens to a community when the border system breaks down — and what does it look like when order is restored? In this episode of American Potential, host David travels to Yuma, Arizona, to speak with Mayor Douglas Nicholls, who shares firsthand insight into the strain massive border crossings placed on his community and what life looks like now as crossings have dramatically declined. Mayor Nicholls discusses the impact on local law enforcement, emergency services, nonprofits, and residents, as well as the humanitarian toll on migrants caught in cartel-controlled systems. He explains why chaos at the border harms everyone involved — and why the rule of law, legal immigration, and secure borders are essential to protecting both people and communities. This conversation offers a rare, on-the-ground perspective from a border-town mayor who has lived the reality most Americans only see from afar.
