Convidados: Oliver Stuenkel, professor de Relações Internacionais da FGV e pesquisador do Carnegie Endowment. Durante as negociações entre os governos do Brasil e dos Estados Unidos, a gestão de Donald Trump enviou à diplomacia brasileira um documento com uma lista de exigências, entre elas a de que o país permitisse que "dissidentes políticos" concorressem às eleições de 2026. O Itamaraty rejeitou a proposta por considerar o texto "absurdo". E este é só mais um item na lista de intervenções políticas da Casa Branca: o próprio tarifaço, episódio no qual Trump enviou a Lula uma carta que acusava o Brasil de "caça às bruxas" e mencionava o ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro; a aplicação da Lei Magnitsky ao ministro do STF Alexandre de Moraes; a classificação do PCC e do Comando Vermelho como organizações terroristas; e o cancelamento do visto da embaixadora brasileira em Washington, Maria Luísa Ribeiro Viotti. Neste episódio, Natuza Nery entrevista Oliver Stuenkel sobre as sucessivas ações do governo americano em relação ao Brasil. Oliver analisa o alcance das medidas e os objetivos de Donald Trump no país.

This week, Aebhric O'Kelly speaks with Dr Travis Kaufman and they explore his 25-year US Army career, his transition from combat engineer and military diver to Physician Assistant (PA), and five years providing medical support through the White House Medical Unit.Travis describes one of the most difficult lessons emerging from Ukraine: prolonged tourniquet use. A Ukrainian medic explains the decision as “triage of the limb or the life” when attempting tourniquet conversion after several hours may place the casualty at considerable risk.The discussion examines unnecessary tourniquet use, the importance of reassessment, contaminated wounds and the increasing problem of sepsis when evacuation is delayed for hours or days. Travis argues that the traditional TCCC assumption of rapid evacuation can create a training scar when casualties instead remain with combat lifesavers and medics for prolonged periods.The episode then explores what PCC actually looks like in practice: trending observations, wound debridement, antimicrobial planning, pain management, positioning, pulmonary care and the fundamental nursing interventions that can determine whether a casualty deteriorates.Travis also shares examples of improvisation from the field, including improvised PEEP and wound-vacuum techniques, and discusses why clinicians need to rediscover simple solutions when sophisticated equipment is unavailable.Chapters00:00 – Meet Dr Travis Kaufman: From Army diver to PA, White House medicine and Ukraine.02:26 – Becoming a Military Deep-Sea Diver: Training, attrition and operational diving.06:12 – From Diver to Physician Assistant: Changing careers and entering military medicine.07:15 – What Is a Physician Assistant?: Origins, training and the military PA role.10:38 – PA vs Nurse Practitioner: Different educational and clinical models.13:06 – Advising Across Eastern Europe: Building capability and interoperability.14:19 – Inside the White House Medical Unit: Medical support for the President and First Family.15:35 – Medical Planning for the President: Preparing for presidential travel worldwide.17:32 – Training for High-Consequence Medicine: Trauma preparation and live-tissue training.19:43 – Humanitarian Medicine in Tanzania: Wilderness medicine and community healthcare.21:00 – Schistosomiasis and Sickle-Cell Care: Managing disease in resource-limited communities.24:40 – HIV and the Problem of Follow-Up: When treatment exists but access remains difficult.27:07 – Inside a Ukrainian Stabilisation Point: Damage-control resuscitation with limited resources.28:45 – The Limb or the Life: The realities of prolonged tourniquet use.30:00 – Preventing Unnecessary Limb Loss: Tourniquet reassessment and conversion.31:56 – Sepsis in Prolonged Casualty Care: The consequences of delayed evacuation.33:30 – Debridement Without Water: Managing contaminated battlefield wounds.34:47 – Airways with Limited Equipment: Facial trauma and conserving resources.36:14 – Taking PCC to the CLS and CMC: Moving prolonged-care skills further forward.39:09 – What Should a Two-Day PCC Course Teach?: Reassessment, wounds and prolonged-care thinking.40:45 – Stop Taking Snapshots — Start Trending: Following physiology over time.42:13 – The “Boring” Care That Saves Lives: Nursing care, positioning, pain and pulmonary management.43:40 – Improvised PEEP and Wound VACs: Field-expedient solutions when equipment runs out.45:13 – Rediscovering Old Lessons: What previous wars may teach modern austere medicine.46:27 – Medicine in the Mediterranean: Travis previews his keynote presentation.47:45 – “Sir, Are We Gonna Be Okay?”: Trust, responsibility and caring for severely wounded soldiers.49:49 – Advice for the Austere Clinician: Lose the ego, stay curious and learn from experience.

What happens when you stop simply learning coaching and start becoming the coach? In this special episode of The Shiny Minds Show, I am bringing you inside the energy, reflections, and transformation of our latest PCC coaching cohort at the Academy of Neuro-Shine Technology™. This is not a traditional teaching episode. It is a collection of powerful moments, reflections, questions, and insights from coaches who are deepening their practice and stepping into a new level of awareness. Because becoming a more masterful coach is not simply about learning another technique. It is about who you are being while you coach.   In Neuro-Shine Technology™, we believe the journey to truth is an inner journey.   Your inner shine. And when we bring that inner journey into coaching, we begin to explore something much deeper: compassion, empathy, boundaries, transparency, self-awareness, self-love, and the ability to meet another human being without immediately judging, fixing, or trying to change them.   One of the ideas I want you to sit with from this episode is this:   Compassion is seeing others as yourself.   When we stop judging another person, we create an opportunity to stop judging ourselves.   And that changes everything.   In this episode, you will hear reflections around:   ✨ Neuro-Shine Technology™ as a technology for truth and enlightenment ✨ Why the inner journey matters in coaching ✨ The difference between empathy and compassion ✨ How compassion can create more connection and oneness ✨ The relationship between self-judgment and self-love ✨ Why boundaries are essential for clarity ✨ Full transparency and authentic expression ✨ The importance of self-coaching between coaching sessions ✨ Bringing your coaching mindset into everyday conversations and relationships ✨ What it means to challenge yourself to become your own coach ✨ The mindset required to deepen your coaching practice and go to your next level   And I want to leave you with the same coaching question I offered the cohort:   If 15 weeks from now, the version of you sitting here would be your ideal version, what would be just ONE difference?   Don't rush to answer.   Sit with it.   Contemplate it.   Because when our time together is done, we are not done.   We are just starting.   Your coaching does not only happen inside the session.   It happens in the way you listen.   The way you communicate.   The way you create boundaries.   The way you respond instead of react.   The way you see yourself.   The way you see another human being.   And ultimately, the way you choose to show up in the world.   This is your invitation to go deeper.   To become your own coach.   To bring your professional coaching mindset into your everyday life.   And, in my language...   Go Galactic. ✨   If this episode speaks to you, subscribe to The Shiny Minds Show, share it with another coach, and tell me in the comments:   What is ONE thing you want to deepen in yourself as a coach?

What if some of the ways parents try to improve their children's eating habits could actually create more conflict around food? In this episode, Dr. Wendy Schofer shares why eating disorder prevention starts with the family—and why parents' own relationships with food and body play such an important role. We discuss how to create a healthier environment around food without relying on restriction, pressure, or control.Dr. Wendy Schofer, MD, FAAP, DipABLM, PCC, NBC-HWC, TIPC, is a dual-board certified pediatrician and lifestyle physician, and trauma-informed parenting coach specializing in eating disorder prevention for family members of all ages and sizes. As Founder of Family in Focus®, she's on a mission to help 1 million families build the social-emotional skills that strengthen relationships with food, body, and especially each other.In this episode, we discuss:When should eating disorder prevention begin?Why does Dr. Schofer focus on parents and the family environment rather than simply trying to change a child's behavior?How can parents' own experiences with dieting, restriction, shame, and body image shape their children's relationship with food?Why can telling children what to eat, how much to eat, or how much to exercise lead to resistance and conflict?How can attempts to control children's eating contribute to secrecy, food struggles, and shame?What does it actually mean to help children develop a healthy relationship with food and their bodies?Why is focusing on what is already working in a family more productive than constantly looking for what needs to be fixed?How can parents model the relationship with food and body they want their children to develop?Why are strong family relationships and connection so important to eating disorder prevention?Dr. Schofer's approach to eating disorder prevention starts with a simple but powerful shift: instead of focusing solely on changing what children eat, we can look at the relationships, beliefs, and environment surrounding food. By working on ourselves and modeling healthier relationships with food and body, parents can help create an environment where children can thrive—without turning food into a power struggle.Interested in learning more about my telehealth direct specialty care practice?

Women Leaders Psychological Safety: How Kerry Siggins Turned "You're Erratic" Into Her Best Leadership Lesson Last updated: September 3, 2026 Trusted by leaders at Stanford University, Ernst & Young, Autodesk, MGM Grand Resorts, and Farmers Insurance Executive Summary: The word that stung most in StoneAge CEO Kerry Siggins' toughest feedback moment was the word that was true. Here's her litmus test for real feedback, how she builds psychological safety without losing accountability, and how women leaders navigate the double bind. Quick Takeaways: If feedback "stings," there's probably truth in it worth examining Psychological safety and accountability aren't opposites — done right, they build each other The double bind is real: women who are direct risk being called aggressive Influence matters more than being right — and it changes how feedback lands U.S. employee engagement hit a decade-low of 31% in early 2026 Jump to:The Feedback Story · Spotting Valid Feedback ·Safety vs. Accountability · The Double Bind ·Action Plan · FAQ As an executive leadership coach with over 30 years of experience (MA, MFT, PCC) working with Fortune 50–1000 companies, I've watched brilliant women leaders freeze in two different ways: some can't tell which feedback to take seriously and which to release, and others have been burned so badly by being called "too direct" that they've gone quiet. Both patterns erode psychological safety — theirs, and their team's. This is Part Two of my conversation with Kerry Siggins, CEO of StoneAge and author of Talk With Trust: How to Own Feedback, Spark Growth, and Build Stronger Teams. In Part One, we walked through her SHARES framework for difficult conversations. Here, we go deeper into the moment that started it all — the day a trusted colleague told her she was "erratic" — and what she's learned since about telling real feedback from noise, building psychological safety without losing accountability, and the double bind that so many women leaders still navigate every day. The Feedback That Almost Cost Kerry Siggins Her COO — And Changed Her Leadership Kerry had spent a year having what she thought were deep, honest conversations with her COO. Then, in a discussion about his role and growth path, it came out all at once: "You think you're this inspiring CEO who disrupts the industry, but really what you are is erratic, and you're really hard to work for. You're the problem." Kerry's first instinct was to fire him. She paused instead — because, as she told me, "I don't want to react in the moment." That pause is the whole story. Kerry went home, sat with the feedback, and asked herself a simple question: what's true about this? She landed on one word — erratic — and traced it back to something real: her fast pace and love of new ideas could look, from the outside, like constant direction-changing. She decided, in that moment, to become a "cool, calm, and collected, unflappable leader." It changed how she led. It also cost her the relationship — the way the feedback was delivered damaged the trust between them beyond repair, and her COO eventually left the company. Both things were true at once: the feedback was a gift, and the delivery broke something. That tension is exactly why psychological safety matters — not as comfort, but as the structure that lets hard truths get said before they explode. How to Tell Valid Feedback From Noise Kerry's litmus test is disarmingly simple: if it stings, there's probably some truth to it. She described being called "disingenuous" by someone recently and letting it go completely — because it didn't sting. She knows who she is on that dimension. But "erratic" stung, because some part of her recognized it. That sting is data. The follow-up question matters just as much: is this feedback about who I am, or about someone else's perception and unmet need? "Just because something hits your identity," Kerry said, "doesn't mean that person is right or wrong — it just means they're seeing things differently." Her advice for women leaders receiving feedback that challenges their identity: get curious, ask for examples, and then decide. "Do you want to be right, or do you want to be accurate?" Accuracy requires asking questions. Being right just requires defending your position. She also named something every leader has lived: most of what reaches you has already been filtered. The brain can only process a tiny fraction of available information, and the person giving you feedback is filtering it further through their own fear of your reaction. The fix is direct: ask "what are you not saying right now?" and genuinely invite the rest. Psychological Safety vs. Accountability: Why They're Not Opposites Most leaders treat psychological safety and accountability as a tradeoff — soft versus firm, safe versus serious. Kerry rejects that framing entirely. "There can be accountability in how you're addressing any kind of challenge through dialogue," she said. Her practice: after a hard conversation, put recurring check-ins on the calendar — not as a punishment, but as a standing space to talk about progress, struggles, and wins. "My manager really cares about me" and "I'm being held accountable" become the same sentence, not opposite ones. Accountability only becomes destructive to psychological safety when it's used as a weapon instead of a rhythm. This is the same territory I mapped out recently in a LinkedIn post on the three pillars of trust — and two of them apply directly here. Trust isn't built in one big moment. It's built in the small moments people learn they can count on you. — Sabrina Braham, MA, MFT, PCC Authenticity breaks when a leader hides a mistake to protect their image instead of admitting when they're wrong — exactly what Kerry avoided by sitting with "erratic" instead of dismissing it. And reliability breaks when accountability only shows up when something goes wrong instead of on a consistent rhythm — which is precisely why Kerry's recurring check-ins work: the consistency itself is what makes accountability feel like care instead of a threat. The Double Bind: When Direct Reads as Aggressive I asked Kerry directly: women leaders often face a double bind — direct enough to be respected reads as aggressive; warm enough to be liked reads as weak. How do you navigate it? Her answer came from experience: a fellow board member once told her, in front of a long-time customer, that she was "aggressive" and an "overachiever" — framed as a flaw. "There's no way he would have ever said that to a man," she said. This isn't just anecdote. New 2026 research out of INSEAD confirms the bind is still fully intact: promotion-focused language — bold, action-oriented, opportunity-framed — tends to clash with gendered expectations for women leaders, while prevention-focused, risk-aware language can reinforce perceptions of low competence, a tension that gets sharper under crisis or high pressure. Separate research on women serving as corporate board directors found something even more troubling: the constant work of switching between "warmth" tactics and "competence" tactics to avoid backlash is itself a driver of the disproportionate burnout many women in leadership report — the double bind isn't just unfair, it's exhausting in a measurable way. Kerry's shift wasn't to soften herself — it was to change what she was optimizing for. "I changed my perspective: do I want to be right, or do I want to influence?" When someone in a meeting takes her idea and repeats it as their own, she no longer takes it personally. "That's a great idea, let's build on that" gets her further than proving the idea was hers first. Influence, not being right, became her north star — and it's a reframe available to any woman leader caught in the double bind. You don't have to shrink to be trusted. The FREE Leading Before You're Ready Playbook gives you language and a framework for navigating exactly this — leading with directness and building the trust that gets you promoted. GET THE FREE PLAYBOOK  Implement This Week: Building Psychological Safety Without Losing Accountability (10 minutes) Recall the last piece of feedback that stung. Write down exactly why it stung — what did it touch that you believe about yourself? (15 minutes) Separate what's accurate from what's someone else's unmet expectation. Ask: is this something I need to work on, or a relationship I need to manage? (5 minutes) Identify one relationship where you suspect you're only getting filtered information. Plan to ask directly: "What are you not telling me?" (20 minutes) Put one recurring check-in on the calendar with a direct report — framed around progress and support, not correction. (This week) Bring one piece of feedback to your own team: "I'm working on X, and I'd love one honest thing I could do better." Modeling receptivity is the fastest way to build a feedback culture. (Ongoing) The next time you're told you're "too direct," ask for a specific example before deciding whether to change anything. Success metric: you leave with clarity, not just a feeling. Common Mistakes Leaders Make With Feedback and Safety Treating every sting as truth. Not all feedback that hurts is accurate — some reflects the other person's ego or fear, not your reality. Examine it before you internalize it. Defending instead of asking. Over-explaining your intentions in the moment shuts down the other person's willingness to keep talking, even if it doesn't feel defensive to you. Using accountability as punishment. If check-ins only happen when something goes wrong, people stop seeing them as safe — and stop bringing you the truth early. Softening yourself to avoid the double bind. Shrinking your directness doesn't resolve the bind — it just trades one cost for another, and the research suggests the constant self-regulation itself carries a burnout cost. Shift toward influence instead of retreat. Reading body language as neutral....

OTFC is gone. That was not a small supply hiccup. It punched a hole in the old TCCC pain plan.George Barbee, a PA and co-author of TCCC Guideline Change 25-03, walks Dennis through why the committee rebuilt battlefield analgesia instead of patching the old triple-option chart.They screened 56 analgesics. They built an objective matrix. They landed on suzetrigine: non-opioid, mentation-sparing, slow onset, long duration — a drug that can keep a still-fighting casualty in the fight and then carry them into prolonged care.The bigger shift is the fork in the road. Not “mild / moderate / severe” as four overlapping options. Can they stay in the fight, or not? Functioning casualties get a non-sedating pack. Non-functioning casualties get a shock-agnostic pathway so you are not stacking drugs blindly down the continuum.Ketamine is still the drug you reach for when you have almost no information. Nystagmus is not the goal. It is the “you gave too much, back off” line. Option 4 sedation is being pulled out of TCCC and written into PCC, where it belongs.If you still teach OTFC, still dose to shaking eyes, or still treat every casualty like they need a narcotic, this episode is the update.Read the change paper @ ⁠www.prolongedfieldcare.org⁠or ⁠https://jsomonline.org/⁠Follow @prolonged_field_careTop 5 takeawaysThe change was forced. OTFC disappeared, GWOT safety data said the old plan was too loose, and LSCO needs mission-capable pain control plus a safer path for people who cannot stay in the fight.Suzetrigine is the new stay-in-the-fight drug. Non-opioid. Cognition and blood pressure mostly spared. About a 2-hour onset, long duration. Pair it with meloxicam and acetaminophen for the functioning casualty. Muscle spasm in 1–10% is not a seizure and does not get benzos.Stop using four overlapping “options.” Define pain with the Defense and Veterans Pain Rating Scale. Rough cut: 1–6 can often still function and self-declare. 9–10, polytrauma, multi-amp — they are out of the fight. Medics already know this on sight. The guideline finally says it.Ketamine stays, but the endpoint is not nystagmus. If you have almost no information, ketamine is still the safest narcotic start. Reduction of pain means the casualty and the medic can both manage the situation. Nystagmus means you crossed the line. Fixed-dose ketamine in a bleeding patient can get weird as volume drops — not usually lethal, still a problem.Option 4 is leaving TCCC. Heavy sedation and procedural endpoints are being moved into the PCC update. TCCC keeps the systematic, stack-aware, evidence-based path so the next provider is not surprised by what you already gave.Chapters00:00 — Disclaimer and open00:23 — Dennis and George: who wrote the change02:10 — If it ain't broke, why touch analgesia?02:56 — We lost OTFC03:11 — Safety, LSCO, and early pain vs PTSD04:27 — Mission-capable control and a shock-agnostic path05:48 — How suzetrigine beat 56 other drugs09:38 — Why this non-opioid survived the matrix11:33 — Spasm vs seizure: do not reach for benzos13:33 — Stay in the fight vs cannot14:20 — The old “triple option” was actually four15:06 — Defining pain with the DVPRS16:10 — The stay-in-the-fight pack: suzetrigine, meloxicam, Tylenol17:20 — What “reduction of pain” actually means18:15 — Esketamine: more analgesia, fewer side effects27:38 — If you only get one narcotic, start ketamine28:56 — Esketamine, IN 28 mg, and the 4PANE study30:15 — IV, IO, IM, IN: why they kept the nose33:07 — Pain control vs nystagmus35:26 — Option 4 is moving to PCC36:41 — Chest tubes, crics, and the sedation gap37:54 — Next: backing the PCC analgesia update38:48 — Read JSOM Change 25-03 and close

Mentioned in this episode:Mentor ProgramIf you're working toward your ACC or PCC credential, or if it's time to recertify your ACC mentor, coaching isn't just a requirement on a checklist. It's one of the most transformative investments you can make in yourself and your coaching. I've taught or mentored over 2000 coaches, and I hear the same thing again and again. I came because I had to, and I am so glad that I did. Coaches tell me they walk away with renewed energy, deeper confidence and a community of peers who genuinely support each other. Here's what you need to know right now. Mentor coaching must span a minimum of three months, so the time to start is not when your credential is just about to expire. And if you complete your hours in 2026, you get ahead of the upcoming ICF changes, which means peace of mind along with skill development. My fall cohort is already filling up. Every group is capped at ten. It's small, personal, and powerful. If you've been waiting for the right time, this is it. So head over to Star Coach Show. That's https://starcoachshow.com/mentor/ to grab your spot or to learn more. I'd love to work with you. Now, let's get into today's show.

Who supports the coach when they are holding complexity, navigating ethical questions and helping other people create meaningful change? In this episode, we explore a significant development for the coaching profession: the introduction of the International Coaching Federation's Coaching Supervisor Specialization, known as the CSS. Coaching can ask a great deal of us. We hold complex client experiences, make ethical decisions and remain present through uncertainty. Coaching supervision creates a confidential and reflective space where coaches can examine their work, protect their wellbeing and continue developing their professional practice. Until now, the ICF has placed greater emphasis on mentor coaching, which focuses primarily on coaching skills and the ICF Core Competencies. Coaching supervision has been more firmly established within organisations such as the European Mentoring and Coaching Council and the Association for Coaching. The new ICF Coaching Supervisor Specialization signals a major shift, bringing supervision closer to the centre of ethical coaching practice and establishing clearer global standards. We discuss how supervision differs from mentor coaching and why both can play an important role in coach development. Supervision reaches beyond technical competence. It provides space to explore ethical challenges, client relationships, emotional responses, professional boundaries and the coach's own wellbeing. For us, this is one of the most important aspects of the announcement. Coaches continually give their attention and energy to others, and supervision can help make that work sustainable. The CSS also creates a valuable opportunity for experienced coaches who are considering becoming coaching supervisors. ICF requirements include holding a PCC or MCC credential, completing at least 41 hours of coaching supervision training, with at least 50% delivered synchronously, and undertaking education aligned with the ICF Coaching Supervision Competencies. The forthcoming ICF Coaching Supervisor Registry is also expected to give qualified supervisors greater visibility while helping coaches identify people who meet recognised professional standards. We reflect on what this development means for the wider coaching industry. When professional bodies move towards a shared understanding of supervision, they send a clearer message about ethical practice, reflective learning and professional accountability. The CSS is not simply another badge. It represents a growing recognition that good coaches need structured support too. Finally, we share the story behind our Diploma in Coaching Supervision. The programme grew from our own desire to deepen our practice, challenge ourselves and explore the next expression of who we wanted to become as coaches. It is designed for experienced practitioners who want to develop the skills, maturity and confidence required to supervise other coaches while continuing their own personal and professional evolution. Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction to the ICF supervision development 00:28 Why coaches need professional support 00:58 Introducing the Coaching Supervisor Specialization 01:55 The opportunity for experienced coaches 02:25 Why this matters to the coaching profession 04:15 Supervision and ICF credential renewal 05:34 The supervisor registry and ACTC requirements 06:31 Coaching supervision competency frameworks 07:20 Supervision, ethics and coach wellbeing 08:40 Choosing a qualified coaching supervisor 09:39 CSS eligibility and training requirements 10:28 What supervision training needs to cover 11:42 Introducing our Coaching Supervision Diploma 12:36 How the programme began 13:26 Professional evolution and the future of coaching 14:23 How to find out more Key Lessons Learned: Coaching supervision supports ethical decision making, reflective practice, professional development and coach wellbeing. Mentor coaching and coaching supervision have different purposes, although both can contribute to a coach's development. The ICF Coaching Supervisor Specialization creates a clearer global benchmark for coaching supervision. Qualified coaching supervisors are likely to become more visible through the forthcoming ICF Coaching Supervisor Registry. Experienced coaches can use supervision training to deepen their practice and develop an additional professional service. Professional credentials help coaches make more informed decisions when choosing a supervisor. Supervision can reduce professional isolation and help coaches manage the emotional and relational complexity of client work. The increasing alignment between the ICF, EMCC and Association for Coaching strengthens the profession's focus on quality and ethics. Coaching supervision training is not solely about acquiring techniques. It can reshape how a coach understands themselves, their clients and their practice.

Rev. Steve Schibsted preaches, “Finishing Well” from the sermon series “David: Everyday Spirituality” ., Piedmont Community Church, Piedmont, California

It is easy to approach divorce with one goal in mind: just get through it and let everything else go for the time being. Deal with the legal issues, make the financial decisions, manage the conflict, and worry about rebuilding your life once everything is finally over.But what if you didn't have to wait, and it actually serves you to start working on the next chapter of your life now?In this episode, Mardi Winder talks with love and relationship coach Lori Bryant Woolridge and psychologist and wellness coach Lauren Yellen Weinberg, creators of Your FAB Divorce, about approaching divorce as both an ending and an opportunity to begin discovering who you want to become.Lori and Lauren share why they believe emotional work belongs alongside the practical realities of divorce, particularly for women leaving long marriages who may have spent decades defining themselves through their roles as wives, mothers, partners, and caregivers. Rather than simply surviving the process, they encourage women to begin developing greater self-trust, understanding their emotions, and creating a vision for what they want their lives to look like on the other side.Questions We ConsiderQ: Why isn't focusing only on the legal and financial side of divorce enough?A: Those decisions certainly need attention, but Lori and Lauren believe ignoring the emotional side can leave you reaching the end of the divorce without knowing what comes next. Mardi describes this as the “post-divorce void,” when the battle is finally over but the sense of purpose, direction, and identity may not automatically return.Q: What happens when you've spent decades defining yourself through other people?A: Divorce can expose just how much of your identity has been connected to being a spouse, parent, caregiver, or part of a couple. Lori and Lauren encourage women to use the transition to explore who they are outside those roles and what they want for themselves going forward.Q: How can you keep fear and anger from driving the divorce?A: Lori shares the FAB approach: Focus on the present and what matters to you, Accept the realities you cannot control, and remain Bendable when circumstances change. The goal is to stay committed to your larger vision while remaining flexible about how you get there.Q: Why is self-trust so important during a major transition?A: Lauren explains that uncertainty becomes easier to navigate when you trust yourself to make decisions, adapt when circumstances change, and figure things out as you move forward. That self-trust can become part of the foundation for whatever comes next.Q: What if divorce could be more than something you simply survive?A: Lori and Lauren invite women to consider divorce as a transition that can also create space for growth, greater self-awareness, and a new understanding of who they want to become. Their message isn't about pretending divorce is easy. It is about recognizing that the process does not have to put the rest of your life on hold.About the Guests:Lori Bryant Woolridge, CPC, CSC, PCC.

For Dr. Erek Ostrowski, the quality of our reflection is the quality of our coaching. In this episode of The Coach's Journey Podcast, he describes how intentional, multifaceted reflection produces new understanding and enables us to take action in ways we could not previously envisage.As well as holding a PhD in Organisational Development and Change, and being a senior leadership and executive coach who founded Verve Coaching, Erek is the author of The Capable Group Coach, which “invites coaches and organisations to embrace the complexity, relational depth, and unique human potential that only group coaching can unlock”.Erek's passion for group coaching, which he believes can help us to address a crisis of meaning that is emerging in the workplace, has fuelled his rise to the very top of his field, and in discussion with host Alex Whitton he explains why there is an increasing demand for group coaching from forward-thinking organisations.The vital importance of experimentation in coaching is a focus of this conversation, and Erek and Alex discuss how coaches can ensure their work is grounded in a solid evidence base while freeing themselves up to be guided by the knowledge that emerges through play and by trying out new things. Erek also speaks sagely about the indispensible value of curiosity in a multifaceted career, and about the tremendous cost we risk if we fail to attend to our gut instincts.This episode is packed full of wisdom and insight from a true innovator and thought leader, who shares his expertise on how to increase the value of your work by developing a practice that produces impact, meaning and possibility far beyond what takes place in the coaching room.Erek and Alex also talk about:• How often practice leads research and the power of learning through doing • The nuanced approaches required when working in different group coaching contexts• How shiatsu and embodied work inform Erek's practice• The different possibilities that open up when working with a capabilities-based model rather than a competencies-based model• How to attune yourself to emergent demand, and create something that people really want!• The benefits of getting involved in scholarship to your positioning in the field of coaching• The crucial differences between group coaching and team coachingTHINGS WE TALKED ABOUT:- Systems theory https://thedecisionlab.com/reference-guide/psychology/systems-theory - Organisational theory https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/computer-science/organisational-theory - The GROW model https://www.coachingcultureatwork.com/the-grow-model/- David Kolb, learning cycle - https://www.britishschoolofcoaching.com/kolbs-learning-cycle-in-coaching/- John Dewey, Learning by doing - https://www.simplypsychology.org/john-dewey.html- William Bridges, Transition theory - https://wmbridges.com/about/what-is-transition/- Malcolm Knowles, adult learning theory - https://infed.org/dir/welcome/malcolm-knowles-informal-adult-education-self-direction-and-andragogy/- The Capable Group Coach, by Erek Ostrowski https://www.routledge.com/The-Capable-Group-Coach-Bridging-Knowledge-and-Practice-for-Transformative-Learning-and-Change-in-Groups/Ostrowski/p/book/9781041158516 - Tony Grant, https://instituteofcoaching.org/author/grant-anthony- Irvin Yalom, The Theory and Practices of Group Psychotherapy https://www.yalom.com/- David Drake, https://www.davidbdrake.com/- Ken Giglio, Mindful Leadership https://mindful-leaders.com/- Jevons Paradox, https://www.npr.org/sections/planet-money/2025/02/04/g-s1-46018/ai-deepseek-economics-jevons-paradox BIOGRAPHY FROM EREKDr. Erek J.

What guidelines should coaches follow in using (and not using) AI? AI is here to stay, and we have to adjust. Coaches who niche down to one specialty become replaceable, while those who bring their full constellation of experience become irreplaceable. In this episode, you'll learn three waves of AI use for coaches, along with the practical AI tools she has created to perform specific tasks on her team. You'll learn about the new app that came from her personal history of childhood trafficking and coercive control. Join us to learn more!Dr. Lisa Turner is the founder of CET Freedom and the creator of a suite of AI tools that help coaches and practitioners make the invisible visible. A Ph.D. engineer in mathematical modeling who transitioned into a consciousness and transformation specialist, she has spent over 20 years training coaches and practitioners. She builds AI that augments their work rather than replacing it. Her TEDx talk, "How AI Can Free Us From Invisible Control,” grew out of her experience of coercive control and her conviction that there is always an algorithm underneath human patterns, if you know how to find it. Known as the “Rational Mystic” for bridging engineering precision and deep inner work, she was recently named number 10 in TechRound's Top 50 Women in Tech and Startups. As the author of five books, she helps coaches hear what their clients aren't saying and shows clients the patterns they can't yet see for themselves. Show Highlights:Understanding the “Venn Diagram of You” (There may not be another person with the same “circles” of expertise as you. You are irreplaceable. Don't niche down; niche OUT.)The big question: “Do your clients think they can replace you, their coach, with AI?”The 3 waves of AI: content creation, agentic AI, and pattern-revealing AIHow coaches can use AI tools to better the client experience.The difference between “made by AI” and “made with AI”Try Lisa's tool, BeliefScan, for free analysis of your sales conversations.

Steve sits down with Jeanine Stewart, PhD, Neuroscientist, Coach, and Creator of the NeuroMighty framework, for a conversation about failure, behavior change, human performance, and what it means to stay distinctly human in an increasingly AI-driven world. Jeanine brings together neuroscience and coaching to explore how we grow through the moments when what used to work no longer does. For her, GrowthReady comes down to three practices: authentic curiosity, humble discernment, and impactful clarity. The conversation also explores what those skills mean in the age of AI. As technology becomes increasingly embedded in the way we think, work, and collaborate, Jeanine argues that distinctly human qualities like curiosity, discernment, vulnerability, connection, and purpose become even more important. In this episode, you'll hear about: • Jeanine's three-part framework for being GrowthReady • Why failure is often an essential part of meaningful growth • Why we sometimes need to sit with failure longer than we want to • How our relationships and social environment influence performance • Why humans are wired for purpose, productivity, and connection • How impactful clarity moves us beyond self-awareness and toward meaningful action • Why lasting behavior change is so difficult and why practice matters • The changing role of humans as AI becomes part of our teams and workplaces  Whether you are leading through change, adapting to new technology, recovering from a setback, or questioning whether the behaviors that brought you this far will take you where you want to go next, Jeanine offers an important reminder: growth is not simply about avoiding failure. It is about becoming curious enough to examine it, humble enough to learn from it, and clear enough to turn what you learn into impact.  Listen now and ask yourself: How is AI affecting your authentic curiosity and the relationships you have with others?  About the guest: Dr. Jeanine Stewart is a neuroscientist and PCC-certified executive coach who works with senior leaders navigating the cognitive demands and complexities of AI-era leadership. She holds a PhD in behavioral neuroscience from the University of Virginia, where she also completed a postdoctoral fellowship in neural plasticity, and has spent nearly two decades advising and coaching C-suite and senior leaders across Fortune 100 organizations, government agencies, and global institutions. Her work is grounded in a simple but powerful insight: as AI transforms the workplace, the competitive advantage no longer belongs to the leader who processes the most information. It belongs to the leader who understands how to orchestrate both human and artificial intelligence.   She calls this capacity Multi-Cognitive Awareness, and it is the foundation of everything she does in her coaching, her keynotes, and her forthcoming book with the working title, NeuroMighty®: Working Smarter in a Multi-Cognitive WorkplaceTM.  Connect with Jeanine:   •  Website   •  LinkedIn   •  Substack   •  Newsletter  Connect with Steve Mellor:  •  LinkedIn   •  Instagram   •  Book Steve to speak at your next event → www.stevemellorspeaks.com   Connect with GrowthReady :  •  LinkedIn   •  Instagram   •  Facebook   •  Official Website   •  Send us Fan Mail   •  Support the show   •  Support the GrowthReady Podcast by leaving a 5-star rating → Apple Podcasts ---- This podcast was produced on Riverside and released via Buzzsprout. Send us Fan MailSupport the showConnect with Steve MellorStay connected and keep growing with Steve:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-mellor-cc/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/coachstevemellorBook Steve to speak at your next event → www.stevemellorspeaks.comSupport the GrowthReady Podcast by leaving a 5-star rating → Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/growthready-podcast/id1406082163Connect with GrowthReadyJoin the community and keep your growth journey going:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/wearegrowthready/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/growthreadypodcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/growthreadywithcoachstevemellorOfficial Website - https://growthready.com/----This podcast was produced on Riverside and released via ...

Last updated: August 27, 2026 Trusted by leaders at Stanford University, Ernst & Young, Autodesk, MGM Grand Resorts, and Farmers Insurance Executive Summary: Most women leaders avoid difficult conversations to protect relationships — and that avoidance is what actually destroys trust. StoneAge CEO Kerry Siggins built the six-step SHARES framework after a piece of brutal feedback changed her leadership. Here's exactly how it works. Quick Takeaways: Difficult conversations delayed almost always get harder, not easier, over time The SHARES framework has six steps you can prepare in under ten minutes Organizations with regular feedback see 14.9% lower turnover rates Wanting to "be right" is the single biggest killer of workplace trust Feedback without a credible next step leaves people hopeless, not motivated Jump to: Why It Happens · The SHARES Framework · Examples · Action Plan · FAQ As an executive leadership coach with over 30 years of experience (MA, MFT, PCC) working with Fortune 50–1000 companies, I hear the same confession from brilliant, accomplished women leaders almost every week: "I know I need to have this conversation. I just keep putting it off." If you've been carrying a difficult conversation you haven't had yet — with a direct report, a peer, a boss, even a spouse — you are in very good company, and it is costing you more than you think. On this episode of the Women's Leadership Success Podcast, I sat down with Kerry Siggins, CEO of StoneAge (an employee-owned manufacturer of high-pressure water jetting equipment) and author of the new book Talk With Trust: How to Own Feedback, Spark Growth, and Build Stronger Teams. Kerry built her career on hard conversations — including one that nearly ended her leadership before it began. What she learned from it became the SHARES framework, a six-step system for women leaders navigating difficult conversations without torching the relationship in the process. Take the 2-minute survey at WomensLeadershipSuccess.com/survey Why Women Leaders Avoid Difficult Conversations — And What It Actually Costs Nobody avoids a hard conversation because they're lazy. Women leaders avoid difficult conversations because they're afraid of the consequence: a damaged relationship, an angry reaction, a reputation for being "too much." As Kerry put it on the show, "We're all not having a conversation that we know we need to have because we're afraid of the consequences." The problem is that the consequence of silence is almost always worse than the consequence of speaking. The research backs this up. Recent workplace data shows organizations with regular employee feedback see 14.9% lower turnover, while highly engaged teams — the kind built through honest dialogue — report 21% greater profitability (Careertrainer.ai, 2026). On the trust side, the numbers are sobering: employer trust fell to 76% in the 2025 Edelman Trust Barometer, and a 21-point gap now separates how much executives trust their organizations (91%) versus how much individual contributors do (70%). Every unspoken conversation widens that gap. Kerry's own turning point came from a conversation she didn't get to control. Her COO — her right-hand operational partner — had been quietly building resentment for a year. It came out in a blowup: "You think you're this inspiring CEO who disrupts the industry, but really what you are is erratic, and you're really hard to work for." Kerry's instinct was to fire him on the spot. Instead, she went home and sat with it. That single piece of painful, poorly-delivered feedback became the foundation for Talk With Trust — and for the SHARES framework she now teaches leaders everywhere. Your team is asking themselves this question constantly, whether they say it out loud or not: can I trust you? I broke this down recently on LinkedIn into three pillars — and it's the exact groundwork that makes a framework like SHARES actually work, instead of just sounding good on paper. Trust isn't built in one big moment. It's built in the small moments people learn they can count on you. — Sabrina Braham, MA, MFT, PCC Notice how closely this maps to what goes wrong in most difficult conversations. Performance trust breaks when someone overpromises or makes excuses instead of owning a miss. Authenticity trust breaks when someone says what people want to hear instead of what's true, or hides a mistake to protect their image — the exact trap Kerry's "articulate your experience" step is built to avoid. And reliability trust breaks when standards shift with someone's mood, or follow-through only happens when it's convenient — which is precisely why the SHARES framework's final step, endorsing a path forward, matters so much: a plan you don't follow through on costs you more trust than no plan at all. This is the same shift Kerry made the day she got called "erratic" — she stopped waiting to feel ready to lead differently and just did it. The SHARES Framework: Six Steps for Difficult Conversations That Build Trust SHARES is a simple, repeatable system women leaders can use to prepare for any hard conversation — a performance issue, a peer conflict, a hard truth with a boss, even a conversation with a spouse. Each letter is a step you move through, in order. S — Specify Your Ideal Outcome Before you say a word, get clear on what you actually want from this conversation. Not "to be right" — an actual outcome. "I want to keep this relationship strong. I want to see behavior change. I want this to build trust, not break it." Kerry's insight: most difficult conversations go sideways because neither person has named the outcome they're going for. Stating it out loud — even to yourself — changes everything that follows. H — Have Your Facts and Feelings Ready Facts alone feel cold and clinical. Feelings alone feel like an ambush. You need both: the observable behavior ("you were late to this meeting") and the impact it had ("we waited, and had to repeat ourselves for you, which was frustrating for the team"). Preparing both in advance also does something else important — it gives you time to calm down before you walk into the room. A — Articulate Your Experience This is the step Kerry calls her favorite, because it's the one most leaders get subtly wrong. "I feel like you don't respect me" still sounds like a judgment wearing an I-statement disguise. Articulating your experience instead sounds like: "I'd like to share my experience of this situation. The story I'm telling myself is that you don't respect me — and I want to check whether that's accurate. What was your experience?" Owning your perspective as a perspective, not a verdict, opens the door instead of slamming it. R — Reflect With Questions and Dialogue The goal of any difficult conversation isn't to be right — it's to be accurate. And the only way to get accurate is to ask questions and actually stay in dialogue. Kerry shared a story of giving tough feedback to an employee who wasn't a direct report. Rather than delivering a verdict, she asked what was going on. What she learned changed the entire conversation — from correction to genuine understanding, without letting go of accountability. E — Endorse a Path Forward Feedback without a credible next step doesn't motivate people — it leaves them hopeless. Kerry described a boss early in her career who told her she wasn't getting in front of decision-makers and to "come back with a plan." She didn't know how to fix it and didn't feel safe saying so. She eventually quit. Now she builds the path forward together with the other person: What are you trying? What's working? What isn't? That collaborative plan is what turns feedback into change — and what creates real accountability without punishment. S — Stay Emotionally Grounded People tend to mirror the emotional energy in the room. If you walk in braced and defensive, you'll get braced and defensive back. Kerry's practice: feel your feet on the floor, take a breath, and become "the mirror that calms people down" rather than the one that escalates them. Staying grounded doesn't mean suppressing emotion in the other person — it means giving them room to have their reaction without matching it. SHARES in Practice: Three Real Application Examples The promotion conversation. A director wants to raise her hand for a VP role but suspects her boss has reservations. Using SHARES, she opens with her outcome ("I want clarity on what would make me ready for this role"), shares the facts of her track record alongside how the uncertainty has felt, then asks reflective questions instead of defending her resume — walking out with an actual development plan instead of vague reassurance. The peer conflict. Two directors keep clashing in cross-functional meetings. Instead of escalating to their shared VP, one initiates a SHARES conversation: names the outcome (a working relationship that doesn't derail meetings), articulates her experience without accusation, and asks what's driving the friction from the other side. They leave with a path forward neither would have found by avoiding the topic. The marriage parallel. As I shared with Kerry on the show, this isn't only a workplace tool. Simply naming the outcome you want at the start of a hard conversation with a spouse — "I want us to leave this in a better place" — changes the entire trajectory before either person says another word. You don't have to figure this out alone.

Today, host Meg Rentschler dives into the idea of “the thing beneath the thing,” those deeper beliefs and stories that are really driving our clients' surface-level issues. Meg talks about some common traps coaches can fall into, like jumping too quickly into action steps, assuming “I don't know” means a client is being resistant, or relying too much on spotting patterns. She also shares some down-to-earth tips for slowing things down, asking questions that are easier for clients to answer, and staying genuinely curious. Tune in to hear Meg's main point about real, lasting change for clients not coming from just fixing the problems they bring to the table, and helping them discover and explore the stories and beliefs that are really at play underneath it all.Show Highlights:What I mean by “the thing beneath the thing”: The belief or self-story generating why the problem feels the way it doesContent vs. meaning-making (“Depth before Doing”)The trap of moving to action too fast (It produces compliance, not durable change.)Reasons coaches rush to action“I don't know” is rarely a dead end.Meet “Dana,” a hypothetical client (the key is to meet her where she is).Six practical moves for going deeper and expanding the lens: Ask about the story, ask what it means about them, name the energy shift, ask where the belief came from, slow down what they try to skip past, and resist the urge to solve too soon.Focus on belief and pattern work, not clinical trauma processing.The curiosity muscle vs. the knowing muscle frameworkResources:Connect with MegExplore our mentor program!

Confira os destaques do Jornal da Manhã deste domingo (23): O candidato à Presidência Ronaldo Caiado (PSD) disse neste sábado (22), em Campinas (SP), que é a favor do fim da escala 6x1. A declaração foi dada durante entrevista coletiva e contrasta com a posição adotada por ele dias antes, quando chamou a proposta de “eleitoreira”. Na quarta-feira (19), durante o 11º Fórum CNT de Debates, Caiado evitou apoiar a Proposta de Emenda à Constituição (PEC) que prevê a redução da jornada de 44 para 40 horas semanais e o fim da escala 6x1. Na ocasião, classificou o texto como “populista”, “eleitoreira” e “de voto”. Já neste sábado, ao ser questionado diretamente sobre o tema, respondeu apenas: “Sim, sou a favor”. Reportagem: Matheus Dias. O candidato do PL à Presidência da República, Flávio Bolsonaro, participou na manhã deste sábado (22) do evento de lançamento da candidatura de Douglas Ruas ao governo do Rio, no Maracanãzinho. Em seu discurso, Flávio afirmou que, caso seja eleito, pretende classificar facções como Comando Vermelho e PCC como grupos narcoterroristas, proposta que consta no plano de governo registrado no Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE). Ele também defendeu uma política de enfrentamento às organizações criminosas a partir do próximo ano. Flávio afirmou que “marginais” e “narcoterroristas” teriam até dezembro deste ano para deixar o Brasil e disse que, a partir de janeiro do ano que vem, declararia “guerra aos narcoterroristas”. Reportagem: Rodrigo Viga. O senador Omar Aziz (PSD-AM) será o relator na CCJ (Comissão de Constituição e Justiça) do Senado da PEC (Proposta de Emenda à Constituição) que acaba com a escala 6x1. A escolha foi feita pelo presidente do colegiado, senador Otto Alencar (PSD-BA), em acordo com o presidente do Senado, Davi Alcolumbre (União-AP), e marca o destravamento da tramitação da proposta, aprovada pela Câmara em maio. Reportagem: André Anelli. O primeiro-ministro canadense, Mark Carney, anunciou tarifas de retaliação sobre produtos americanos a partir de 8 de setembro, em resposta à taxação de 50% dos EUA sobre importações do Canadá. A medida deve atingir setores como aço, laticínios, eletrodomésticos, equipamentos agrícolas, celulose, papel e eletrônicos. Após negociações sem acordo, os Estados Unidos retomaram a cobrança nesta sexta-feira (21), conforme anunciado por Donald Trump. Carney afirmou que os detalhes das novas tarifas canadenses serão divulgados nos próximos dias. A Jovem Pan entrevista Igor Lucena, economista e professor de relações internacionais.

A investigação sobre suspeitas de tráfico de influência de Roberta Luchsinger e Lulinha detectou que a lobista intermediou a contratação, por órgãos vinculados ao governo do Maranhão, de uma empresa de informática do empresário Cleber Ribas. Ela também atuava em favor dele junto ao governo federal. José Maria Trindade comentou. Reportagem: André Anelli. A PEC do fim da escala 6x1 avança no Senado e ainda precisa passar por dois turnos de votação. Para falar sobre o assunto, a Jovem Pan entrevista Leonardo Miguel Severini, presidente da Unecs. A proposta está em tramitação na Comissão de Constituição e Justiça do Senado, com Omar Aziz como relator. As denúncias envolvendo Fábio Luís Lula da Silva, o Lulinha, ganham força e podem impactar as eleições deste ano. O cenário levanta questionamentos sobre os possíveis efeitos das denúncias no ambiente político e eleitoral. Para falar sobre o assunto, a Jovem Pan entrevista Victor Missiato, cientista político e doutor em história. Essas e outras notícias você acompanha no Jornal da Manhã.

Episode Overview Do coaches really need credentials? Since coaching isn't a regulated profession, anyone can call themselves a coach—but should they? In this conversation, Brian Miller and Master Certified Coach Mary Selzer discuss the value of coach credentialing, not as a status symbol, but as a commitment to excellence, credibility, and continual growth. They explain how credentials shape the coach as much as they assure the client, creating a solid foundation for transformational coaching. Key Ideas & Takeaways 1. Credentials Bring Credibility Coaching is an unregulated profession, making it difficult for clients to distinguish trained coaches from consultants or advisors. A recognized credential communicates that a coach has invested in learning and has been evaluated against established standards. Credentials help build trust before the coaching conversation even begins. 2. Coaching Is Different from Consulting Many people use the title "coach" while actually telling clients what to do. True coaching helps clients think, discover, and take responsibility rather than simply receiving advice. A credential reinforces the distinction between coaching and consulting. 3. Credentials Change the Coach Mary describes receiving her first credential as a significant mental shift: "I'm legit." The process develops confidence as well as competence. Credentials aren't merely external validation—they transform the coach's identity. 4. Excellence Requires Preparation Coaching people well deserves intentional training. Brian and Mary argue that serving clients with excellence means continually sharpening coaching skills rather than relying on natural ability or experience alone. Excellence honors both the client and the calling. 5. Every Coach Needs a Foundation Every coach operates from a particular coaching philosophy, whether they recognize it or not. Credentialing provides a clear framework and common language for effective coaching. Knowing where your coaching comes from strengthens both confidence and consistency. 6. Competencies Matter Brian highlights the value of the ICF Core Competencies as a practical roadmap for coaching conversations. Competencies help coaches understand how to create awareness, establish agreements, listen deeply, and facilitate action. They provide concrete areas for ongoing improvement. 7. Great Coaches Never Stop Growing One benefit of credential renewal is the expectation of continuing education. Mary shares that after earning her MCC, her first question was, "What's next?" Coaching is about growth—and coaches should model the same lifelong learning they encourage in others. 8. The Credentialing Process Shapes Character Brian reflects that earning his PCC required more than improving techniques—it changed how he thought about people, coaching, and transformation. Rigorous standards don't simply test knowledge; they develop the coach. Memorable Quotes & Ideas "There are many people who call themselves coaches—but they're really consultants." "When I received my first credential, there was a mental shift: 'I'm legit.'" "We aren't the expert on the client's problem—we're the expert on the conversation that creates transformation." "Excellence honors both the client and the calling." "Every coach is coming from somewhere. A credential tells people where you're rooted." "Coaching is about change and growth—and coaches should experience that too." "Getting my PCC didn't just change my coaching; it changed who I was."

The biggest changes in decades are coming to mentor coaching. Today's show walks you through the research behind the new Mentor Coaching Competencies, explains the brand-new Mentor Coach Specialization (MCS) credential, and lays out exactly what mentors and mentees need to do before the January 1, 2027 deadline. We also discuss the bigger shift coming in April 2027, when the portfolio path performance evaluation is retired in favor of documented mentor coaching.

Mentioned in this episode:Mentor ProgramIf you're working toward your ACC or PCC credential, or if it's time to recertify your ACC mentor, coaching isn't just a requirement on a checklist. It's one of the most transformative investments you can make in yourself and your coaching. I've taught or mentored over 2000 coaches, and I hear the same thing again and again. I came because I had to, and I am so glad that I did. Coaches tell me they walk away with renewed energy, deeper confidence and a community of peers who genuinely support each other. Here's what you need to know right now. Mentor coaching must span a minimum of three months, so the time to start is not when your credential is just about to expire. And if you complete your hours in 2026, you get ahead of the upcoming ICF changes, which means peace of mind along with skill development. My fall cohort is already filling up. Every group is capped at ten. It's small, personal, and powerful. If you've been waiting for the right time, this is it. So head over to Star Coach Show. That's https://starcoachshow.com/mentor/ to grab your spot or to learn more. I'd love to work with you. Now, let's get into today's show.

GAW   Text Dear WLS or Reviews +1 743 500 2171 Public   Show Titles   Dear WLS WINNER Question from Anonymous Coward from Maryland Hello guys I recently just found you guys on spotify. I live pretty close to river edge tactical. I have a question for you guys. I've been getting pretty hardcore into training. I have a nice plate carrier, gun belt.They're all set up.I have decent rifles and pistols. I cannot find anywhere where I can train and learn and just have fun. I've been to a few ranges close to me And you can't really do anything there as you guys probably know . Just seeing, if you guys know anywhere, or does river edge tactical do that kind of stuff. Thank you Question from Anonymous Coward from Texas I asked this question a year or 2 ago. Jeremy happened to be gone when you read it and you all went “fuck, I don't know. That would be a great question for Jeremy”. So here's hoping he's there when it's read this time.I would like to know what kind of accuracy I can expect from a savage 99 and a Winchester 88. Those are both lever actions without a magazine tube so they can shoot pointy bullets. The biggest part of accuracy is obviously the shooter, but compared to other rifles types of the same age: would you say they are as accurate as other bolt actions or will they still be around the same as other lever actions? If it makes a difference, the calibers I'm leaning towards are .243 and .308. Question from Jaqin Ta'Sox from Virginia Question from Jaqin Ta'Sox: Hello my favorite bundle of sticks. Since u all seem to be masters of firearms and all things related, might u answer this? I am having chicago screws. In holsters, when I make improvements or just from extended use, all the dang screws come loose. Do y'all know of a tool or method for reaching and getting the damn screws to the German specs of good n tight? Question from Karl from Nova Scotia Hey guys, I was thinking about picking up a 3D printer and was seeking out suggestions. I want a tool more than a hobby so the cheaper ones you need to tinker with are off the table. I heard the Bamboo printers were good “just works” solutions but from my understanding the company has done some shitty things recently and Internet connectivity and forced firmware updates are required to use their printers. Is there a high quality printer that I can keep and use offline that you would recommend? Keep up the great show, thanks, Karl #BlameCanada Question from typicalpnwguy from Oregon Evening gents, Im looking at building a 4.5″ suppressed 10/22 in a chassis for fun. Debating on the polymer sb tactical chassis or the Fletcher hall aluminum chassis. Is there a major pro/con of either (besides price)?Thanks for your deep thought out answer to this manner… -typicalpnwguy Question from Anonymous Coward from Oregon If WLS was a Vine/Reels/Tik Tok or meme, which one would describe you all the best? For me, the Reels where the two dudes are arguing over the witches from Wizard of Oz.
