Podcast appearances and mentions of robbie swale

The question that new coaches ask most often: do I need a niche and how do I choose one?We don't know why that idea is so pervasive among new coaches, but it is, so when Robbie got a question about it from a subscriber recently, he thought he'd make a short episode about it.Excuse the audio - he recorded on his phone - and see below for links to a few things he mentions in the episode.For more information about 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.HERE ARE LINKS TO SOME OF THE THINGS WE MENTIONED: Katie Harvey (a coach with no niche) on The Coach's Journey Podcast: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-1-katie-harvey-14000-hours-of-coaching-being-part-of-the-uk-coaching-vanguard-and-being-a-generalist-coach The Coaching Business Flywheel: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/thecoachingbusinessflywheel The Coaching Business Flywheel Booster Pack: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/the-coaching-business-flywheel-booster-pack

In a world so focused on productivity, Coach's Journey founder and host Robbie Swale is interrogating what this word really means.His work on the concept of meaningful productivity explores up questions like: “What do I need to do in order to be at peace with myself?” And: “Do I want to be more productive or simply not feel like I'm failing all the time?”In this episode of The Coach's Journey Podcast, Robbie joins Joey Owen for a conversation that gets to the very heart of Robbie's work as a leadership and careers coach with over 2000 hours' experience, and as an author whose decade-long writing practice has led to valuable contributions to the field, such as The 12-Minute Method and The Coaching Business Flywheel. Robbie and Joey tackle fundamentally important questions about how coaches can make a difference in a world ravaged by conflict and division, how to stay humble in our work, and how to ensure we feel at peace with ourselves.You will hear Robbie and Joey speak about the importance of living and working with a code of honour, about learning to trust the strange and unexpected things that arise in coaching sessions, and how to integrate spiritual practices into your life through the rituals, hobbies, passions and habits you already do.If you would like to be doing more of what really matters to you, feeling better about the work you are doing, and living a rich life regardless of your financial situation, this episode is for you.Robbie and Joey also talk about:- How to cultivate a practice of trust that conversations happen at the right time- Not lying to ourselves about what we “have” to doThe places in our lives where we can practise presence and connection- How to manage your focus, attention and attitude in order to actively work towards the goals that matter most to you- The power of telling a story twice to embed an idea in your memoryThey also explore practical ways to keep yourself in the energy possibility, and Robbie shares the story of how “crashing and burning” while running a coaching event taught him powerful lessons about group dynamics, scapegoating and the importance of contracting.THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT THAT YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN:- Episode 45 of The Coach's Journey Podcast, with Raquel Ark https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-45-doing-the-right-thing-even-when-its-hard-raquel-ark-interviews-robbie- Rich Litvin https://richlitvin.com/- The 12-Minute Method https://www.robbieswale.com/the12minutemethod- Workshop with Robbie and Claire Pedrick https://www.3dcoaching.com/artful-coach-soulful-business/- Robbie's article about leading with honour (A Man Got to Have a Code) https://www.robbieswale.com/writing/2024/10/11/a-man-got-to-have-a-code-leading-with-honour-iii- The Meaningful Productivity Blueprint https://www.robbieswale.com/meaningful-productivity-blueprint-download-page- Gay Hendricks, Zone of Genius https://www.robbieswale.com/the-12-minute-blog/2022/2/3/the-zone-of-genius-the-most-powerful-thought-experiment-for-personal-transformation- Robert Holden, questions about purpose https://www.robertholden.com/blog/9-questions-help-find-purpose/- A Warren Buffet story about how he helped the pilot of his private jet prioritise more https://passionateaboutoss.com/the-story-of-mike-flint- Seth Godin on setting fees https://seths.blog/2024/11/understanding-pricing/- Parkinson's law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkinson%27s_law- Douglas Hoffstatter's law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hofstadter%27s_law- Ramit Sethi's podcast https://www.iwillteachyoutoberich.com/podcast/- Ffelyn Uchaf https://www.felinwales.org/- Jim Dethmer and Joel Monk on Coaching from Sourcehttps://www.coachesrising.com/podcast/jim-dethmer-coaching-from-source/- Frank Turner, The Way I Tend to Be https://frank-turner.com/tracks/the-way-i-tend-to-be/- Frank Turner, The Gathering https://frank-turner.com/tracks/the-gathering/- Frank Turner, Journey of the Magi https://frank-turner.com/tracks/journey-of-the-magi/- Internal Family Systems (IFS) drama triangle https://www.stroudtherapy.com/news/2024/02/25/dramatriangleifs- David Gemmell https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Gemmell- The Wheel of Time novel series https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wheel_of_Time- The ‘Yes, And' teambuilding exercise https://openpracticelibrary.com/practice/yes-and/https://www.radicalagreement.com/post/yes-and-and-improv-teamwork- David Deida https://deida.info/- Freedom to Learn https://freedomtolearn.org.uk/- An Introduction to The Coach's Journey Flywheel https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/the-coaching-business-flywheel

GiveDirectly is an extraordinary organisation, working to end extreme poverty through an idea that is simple but revolutionary: give cash directly to people in extreme poverty and let them decide what they need most. Research shows this approach is not only effective but also deeply empowering.Since I (Robbie) first read about GiveDirectly in 2017, it has been the focus of almost all my charitable giving: I find the research-backed practices and incredibly meaningful recipient stories so compelling that almost every time I have thought in detail about the organisation and what they do, I have increased my regular giving.In this special Podcasthon episode of The Coach's Journey Podcast, Stephanie Hill, the VP, People at GiveDirectly, joins me to explore the connections between teaching, coaching, and leadership, and to outline the transformational work that GiveDirectly does.From her days working to recruit and develop thousands of teachers in New York City to her role in helping a rapidly scaling global nonprofit build strong teams, Stephanie shares deep insights into learning, growth, and the power of trusting people to know what they need.In this episode, we discuss, on GiveDirectly:Why giving cash directly to the poorest people in the world works!Common misconceptions about cash transfers as a form of philanthropy.Amazing stories from GiveDirectly's recipients.The Power of Trust – why both great coaching and effective philanthropy start from the belief that people know what they need.And on learning, coaching, culture and more:The Gradual Release Model – how great teaching (and coaching) helps people build confidence and autonomy over time.Lessons from Scaling – what it takes to grow an organization quickly while keeping core values intact.Building a Culture of Learning – how GiveDirectly fosters ongoing development among its globally distributed team.Leading with Values - how has GiveDirectly taken its company values and actually brought them to life.Stephanie's personal leadership journey – what she learned from recruiting and training 5,000 teachers a year and how those lessons apply to coaching, leadership and organizational growth today.This episode is packed with wisdom for coaches, leaders, and anyone passionate about learning, development, and making a meaningful impact.I can't wait to share GiveDirectly's amazing work with you, but it's not just that this is an amazing charity that made me want to feature GiveDirectly on the show; it's that it's a charity whose work closely aligns with the philosophy of coaching.At its heart, coaching is about trusting people, believing they have the answers within them, and supporting them to make the best choices for their own lives.GiveDirectly operates on the same principle. Rather than imposing solutions, it hands people the resources to create their own change. For coaches who want to make a difference in the world beyond their work, I can't think of a better organization to support: if you've never quite found a focus for your charitable giving that really resonates, or if you've ever wondered how you can contribute in a way that aligns with the values of coaching — courage, trust, empowerment, and belief in human potential — GiveDirectly could be a powerful answer.If you have a few pounds or dollars to spare this month or every month, consider giving to GiveDirectly. They will send it to someone for whom those few pounds or dollars will go further than you can possibly imagine, as part of a story of courage, empowerment and trust in the beauty of human nature.For more information about GiveDirectly, visit: https://www.givedirectly.org/ or https://www.linkedin.com/company/givedirectlyTo donate to GiveDirectly, visit: https://www.givedirectly.org/donate/For more information about Stephanie, visit https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephanie-hill-1232028For more information about 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.THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT THAT YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN:Rutger Bregman: https://www.rutgerbregman.com/Bregman on tax at Davos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8ijiLqfXP0Bregman's TED Talk - "Poverty isn't a lack of character; it's a lack of cash": https://www.ted.com/talks/rutger_bregman_poverty_isn_t_a_lack_of_character_it_s_a_lack_of_cash/ Utopia for Realists: https://www.rutgerbregman.com/books/utopia-for-realists GiveDirectly Live: https://live.givedirectly.org/ GiveDirectly's Research: https://www.givedirectly.org/research-at-give-directly/ Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needs GiveDirectly Donation Link for the US: https://www.givedirectly.org/donate/ GiveDirectly Donation Link for the UK: https://cafdonate.cafonline.org/5197#!/DonationDetailsHow to donate to GiveDirectly from other countries: https://www.givedirectly.org/giving-internationally Teach for America: https://www.teachforamerica.org/TeachFirst: https://www.teachfirst.org.uk/The GROW Model: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GROW_model Inner Game of Tennis by Timothy Gallwey: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Inner-Game-Tennis-ultimate-performance/dp/1035047926 GiveDirectly NPR Article: https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2019/12/02/781152563/researchers-find-a-remarkable-ripple-effect-when-you-give-cash-to-poor-families Carol Dweck and Growth Mindset: https://www.amazon.com/Mindset-Psychology-Carol-S-Dweck/dp/0345472322Elena Aguilar and "Mind the Gap": https://www.edweek.org/education/opinion-the-key-to-working-with-adult-learners-mind-the-gap/2018/02 Fred Kofman: https://www.fredkofman.org/The GiveDirectly Values: https://www.givedirectly.org/givedirectly-values/ The Leadership Pipeline (book): https://www.amazon.com/Leadership-Pipeline-Second-Edition-Developing/dp/0470894563How to Help GiveDirectly: https://www.givedirectly.org/how-to-help/Work at GiveDirectly: https://www.givedirectly.org/careers/ Podcasthon: https://podcasthon.org/ Book your place at Robbie and Claire Pedrick's event in Malvern in 2025: The Artful Coach and the Soulful Coaching Business. Read more here: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/3dcoaching/1504338 FULL BIOGRAPHY FROM STEPHANIE Stephanie began her career as an educator. After university, she joined Teach For America in New York City and taught English Literature to low-income High School students in The Bronx while getting her Master's degree in teaching. She then worked for Teach For America as a coach to cohorts of new teachers.After a brief stint as a recruiter, she joined the New York City Department of Education to build a new model for teacher preparation - one that would integrate theory and practice and include a longer, more intentional gradual release of responsibility for new recruits. The program also created a new career-ladder position for the supervisors of these aspiring teachers - experienced educators who were selected and trained to not just share their classroom, but also provide targeted, actionable modeling and feedback that would accelerate the learning process.Stephanie worked to scale that program to prepare over 500 new teachers for NYC's hardest to staff schools each year, while eventually taking on leadership of the city's overall teacher recruitment and preparation - where she led a team to recruit and place over 5,000 new teachers each year.In April of 2020, she joined the international non-profit organization GiveDirectly as their first VP, People, just as the organization was going through a period of rapid growth, with ~75% headcount increase year over year. GiveDirectly takes an innovative approach to aid by giving unconditional cash to people living in extreme poverty, often using a technology-forward approach to maximize efficiency (and therefore dollars to recipients). Stephanie is proud to have led the People function for the past 5 years - building and defining recruitment, people operations, learning and development, talent planning and employee engagement for the organization.

Coaching for more than 35 years, she believes that the essence of coaching is simple and that it takes time to learn to work that simply.

Most of the neurons comprising the midbrain reticular formation lie dorsal and lateral to the red nuclei. Complex interactions between multiple neurotransmitters modulate the action of the reticular activating system with both cholinergic and adrenergic neurotransmission having key roles. The reticular activating system's fundamental role is regulating arousal and sleep−wake transitions. The ascending reticular activating system projects to the intralaminar nuclei of the thalami, which projects diffusely to the cerebral cortex. The ascending projections of the reticular activating system enhance the attentive state of the cortex and facilitate conscious perception of sensory stimuli. Additionally, the collective role of the brainstem reticular formation is to regulate autonomic function, muscle reflexes, and tone.' B.L. Walter, A.G. Shaikh, in Encyclopedia of the Neurological Sciences (Second Edition), 2014 - note from Robbie: So it is part of the brain, but only a small part of it is about attention/conscious perception. To fully understand this, we'll have to invite Amy back on the show!Curly Martin - The Life Coaching Handbook: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Life-Coaching-Handbook-Everything-effective/dp/1899836713/ Katie Harvey on The Coach's Journey Podcast: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-1-katie-harvey-14000-hours-of-coaching-being-part-of-the-uk-coaching-vanguard-and-being-a-generalist-coach Seth Godin - The Bannister Method: https://seths.blog/2018/03/the-bannister-method/ Jacinta Jimenez on The Coach's Journey Podcast: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-26-jacinta-jimenez-the-burnout-fix-betterup The Maya Angelou quote: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/5934-i-ve-learned-that-people-will-forget-what-you-said-people Antonio Damasio - The Somatic Marker Hypothesis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatic_marker_hypothesis Unconscious Incompetence -> Unconscious Competence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_stages_of_competence Richard Strozzi-Heckler: https://strozziinstitute.org/staff/richard-strozzi-heckler/ Jeffrey Schwarz: https://jeffreymschwartz.com/ Dan Siegel: https://drdansiegel.com/ Henry Stapp: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Stapp Zoe, the personalised dieting company: https://zoe.com/ BIOGRAPHY FROM AMY BRANNAmy is the founder of Synaptic Potential, a consultancy that supports sustainable high performance enabling people to contribute more to their organisation by working smarter not harder.

This episode is a unique chance to get inside a group coaching call with Robbie Swale.In it, you can hear Robbie coaching David Norris, Joey Owen, Hazel Martin and Alex Swallow, exactly as he would in one of his group coaching programmes for coaches or leaders.It demonstrates the way that he runs The Coach's Journey Community, which is his flexible, affordable group coaching programme for coaches, designed to support them to create thriving businesses and thrive as they do that. It shows both the practical value of working in this way and the incredible - almost magical - synchronicity that can emerge in work like this.In particular, we worked together on:How to finish a year strong, when doing so means you have to go against what society expects of you.How to be proud of the way we interact with our children rather than ashamed.Time, boundaries and how not to resent the people we love when they interrupt us.How to be a professional coach when there are many things buffetting us in our personal lives.But most importantly, this gives you a chance to feel the multiple levels of learning available in a group experience as a coach: learning from what the coaches bring as clients and how Robbie coaches them (and what you might do similarly or differently).We hope we might see you on a similar call as part of The Coach's Journey Community sometime soon - now is a great time to join, as the September and November calls are available to Diamond Members, meaning you can sign up for £20, try it out and if it's not the right thing for you, cancel any time.

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.

Robbie Swale is a leadership coach, author, and host of two podcasts: The Coach's Journey and The 12-minute Method.    We started off with a coaching topic that many people can relate to as we close off a year and contemplate what we want for the new year. We take stock of everything we've done so far and want clarity to plan our way forward.  As high achievers, we're constantly navigating the question of what's next.  

"...and each time I would attempt to do something, I would stop and stare out the window and wonder what matters. I began to ask variations of this question: What matters here? What actually matters? Does this really matter? What matters most?" Susan Ni Chriodain   In this solo episode I share on a life-changing family event. And explore what it means to have your world change in an instant, discovering what matters most and having the courage to go after that.

"If instead you just take small action, you not only get the rush of courage from having taken the action and the satisfaction that you've actually done something, but you have negated that building of resentment and regret. So it's a double benefit if you take the tiny action today." Robbie Swale   Robbie Swale explains that courage is a key part of achieving our goals. And with small, repeated actions you can overcome fears, conquer resistance or procrastination and make progress. And often the confidence you need to do something and the competence required to do it is on the other side of doing it. You first need the courage to act - one of the most admirable qualities that humans can ever personify. Robbie talks about his 12-minute method and his four books which help people understand and apply some of what we discuss, and encourages people to take action now.   Robbie Swale is a leadership coach, author and podcaster whose work focuses on creativity, leading with honour and the craft of coaching. He is the host of two podcasts – The Coach's Journey Podcast and The 12-Minute Method Podcast – and the author of The 12-Minute Method series of books, including How to Start When You're Stuck and How to Create the Conditions for Great Work.   Connect with Robbie: Learn more about Robbie from his website and the coach's journey.

In today's episode, we talk with Robbie Swale, a leadership coach, author, and podcaster, about getting unstuck in as little as 12 minutes. This feeling of unease in living the life we have or some aspects of it, and the deep desire that we were destined for something different, and better than what we have achieved. Despite that strong desire, very often we fail from moving away from where we are and create what we dreamed of. With Robbie, we analyse what gets and keeps us stuck, and what we can do to overcome all these challenges.

The place you feel the most resistance is the most important place for your soul's evolution...In today's episode we look at the other side of quitting: NOT quitting.Whenever we start a new project, habit or venture there is a part of us that is screaming to give up.

What if we don't feel like we are a real (insert word) writer/creative/musician/poet yet?

On this episode of Build Better Brands, Danielle Clarke is joined by Robbie Swale who coaches people on the careers, work and lives to talk about what he does and how brands can succeed.KEY TAKEAWAYSMy Mother, for the last 20 years of her life, was a counsellor, my Dad had some time as a psychotherapist, so they understand talking to people and helping them – it's different to coaching but overlaps in some related ways – my Brother has worked in coaching a little bit and my sister is now doing counselling training so my immediate family gets it, I think. I tend to start with I'm a leadership coach and then I wait to see what people say because there's no perfect way to explain what I do to everyone.If what I really want is in the end to have more clients then the thing that I want is to have actual connection with somebody who is interested in my work so that at some point they might think “I need some coaching, I should talk to Robbie”, or when they're speaking to somebody else they think about me. To get someone to that place isn't about telling them the perfect thing. Most people like, when they get into an interesting conversation, learning about them and that's often what's memorable. These days I give three examples of what I'm most interested in which gives them a lot of space so that if they're interested in any of those things we can have a conversation about that so that I can find out about their leadership challenge, partly because that's what I'm interested in and partly because it's best for business.Everybody has self-doubt and procrastination happen to them and I'd take certain thoughts as proof that I shouldn't do certain things (create a business, write a book). But you don't have to listen to those thoughts, you can choose to believe that they're resistance, which is something probably trying to keep you safe or out of harm's way, but it's stopping me doing the things I want to do. Instead, you can power through those and dance with them in different ways. Each thing I've done has been a different dance with all these ways that I hold myself back and try to avoid the creative battles.Big sportswear brands' TV advs might feature different athletes, but the feel of them doesn't, so you have a feel for what ADIDAS means and Nike means because you've watched a lot of those adverts over a number of years and have that feel for consistency and the fact the message aligns. We've got a baby and buying nappies, I remember TV ads for nappies when I was 6, Huggies Pull-Ups – we don't buy Huggies, we buy Pampers – but I remember that so clearly and they're essentially the same product now because they've got a winning mix. I know Huggies do Pull-Ups and I still remember that because they said it over and over again. BEST MOMENTS‘I'm interested in the craft of coaching, creativity and how we lead with what we might call honour.'‘I'm a recovering perfectionist.'‘If an idea comes to you and you don't take it, it'll go on to someone else.'‘Any medium, like podcasts, where we share what's influenced us and been useful for us is really useful. It's how I've found loads of things that have impacted me.'ABOUT THE GUESTRobbie Swale As a coach, my clients hire me because I have a powerful ability to see things differently.I have cultivated for years the ability to understand different perspectives.I see the truth in the world - I'm not afraid of it. And I'm not afraid to do or say the right thing.I can dance in the moment, I have an ability to feel deeply, and I inspire and invite others to do the same.My clients are innovative, loving and creative. They yearn to understand themselves and their relationship partner. They have a heightened sense of right and wrong and a desire to change the world.My clients include entrepreneurs, investors, theatre directors and even other coaches.If you feel "the rules" are holding you back... If you are ready to break the rules in your field... Or if you just want a partner to challenge the way you think (especially if you already think big!)... then get in touch. We should talk. And your world will transform.Website: https://www.robbieswale.com/ABOUT THE HOSTDanielle Clarke is a Brand and Marketing Consultant, University Lecturer and Business Owner.Since 2006 Danielle has provided brand design and marketing support for clients including Škoda, Gtech, UK Biocentre, UK Mail and GIRLvsCANCER Danielle is committed to helping brands that want to have a positive impact on people's lives.

Robbie Swale, Coach, Author, and Podcaster joins our host, Rob Lawrence, for this final episode of our podcast series, Make Time for Marketing. Robbie weaves together many threads from the series, whilst adding more depth and wisdom in this lively, engaging conversation. Five years ago, Robbie challenged his own resistance and fear by committing to writing 12 minutes a week and posting it publicly. It has become known as the 12-minute method. He shares the impact this had on his life, his confidence, and his coaching business, advocating the ‘art of practice' as life-changing, assisting your development into the coach you want to be as well as creating authentic-based marketing. “Practise is everything and everything is practice.” For the episode resources and guest bio, please visit:  https://www.associationforcoaching.com/page/Make_Time_For_Marketing_series_Robbie_Swale

How can listening to yourself be an ultimate superpower to live the life you want? Robbie Swale is a leadership coach, author, and podcaster, whose work focuses on creativity, coaching, and leading with honor. His time is split between his coaching business, writing, and various associate work. He supports coaches to grow their businesses and impact and thrive as people, via a community for coaches and a podcast. An ability to see things differently, understand different perspectives and see the truth in the world without the fear to do or say the right thing is the reason why coaches choose to collaborate with him.   In this episode, Robbie shares his journey on how he developed the 12-minute method while discovering how listening can be used as a superpower when it comes to truly live the life we really want. He also shares about the struggles and resistance he has overcome to be able to make an impact through his writing and how this helps him fuel his creative impulses.    Robbie also emphasizes the importance of consistency in building good habits. He realized how writing consistently for 12 minutes over time developed a practice of listening to that surprised him. And it helped him get things done and move him forward, even amidst his fears.   Robbie is the author of How to START when you're STUCK and How to KEEP GOING when you want to GIVE UP, as part of a series that have come out of his 12 Minute Method.  These books provide practical inspiration to get your idea off the ground and help you create good habits and stay focused - even when it's hard.   “6 years of creating, sharing, and of consistency. I've never put my mind to something, created a habit, and kept it before this. And now I know I'm somebody who can do that, and that's transformational.” - Robbie Swale Listen IN Notes:   5:54 - How listening and writing have impacted Robbie's life   7:06  -  “Whose words were those?” - prompt for practicing self-listening, Listen to your inner voice and ask a few questions to deepen your understanding.   14:33  - All about listening to your creative impulse and listening to yourself   25:19  - Listening made simple: listening to ourselves in relation to developing confidence    28:49  - Getting to know the voices in your head. To practice that self-listening, and writing whether it's for yourself or for somebody else. To practice self-listening and writing from a place of clarity, incisiveness, and compassion.   37: 47  -  All about the act of inertia, creating a change in our organization for the better, be working just a little bit on a project that you think would really serve the customers that aren't being served in this way.    38:06  - The impact of doubt on the experience of regret. Regret can feel overwhelming, but it is worth pausing to ask yourself: is my current thought pattern feeling like regret, what can I do about it?   42:42- The importance of getting yourself off the hook from all the outcomes that you think you want because you can't predict creativity, change, or organization.    Key Takeaways:   “The good rule of thumb is that the places where we feel the most resistance, the most fear, where we do the most procrastination are the most important places for our soul's evolution.” - The War of Art by Steven Pressfield   “Everybody has the voices that tell them, “You're not the person to do this.”  One of the games, the way to deal with that, is you don't have to listen to those voices…because we have some voices in our heads that may come from fear and mostly that fear isn't real. “- Robbie Swale   “If you write how you think, then as you practice writing, you get better at that, then you also get better at thinking. And if you write how you speak, then you also get better at speaking.” - Robbie Swale Those conversations (with listening) give me amazing energy.  - Robbie Swale   When I am writing, I feel like I am listening beyond myself. - Robbie Swale A small amount of time once a week has a much bigger impact than I expected. - Robbie Swale   What would be exactly enough time and not a second more to make some progress?  - Robbie Swale Notes/Mentions:   Raquel Ark's featured interview at The Coach's Journey Podcast – Listening Alchemy And The Gold Beyond Words Raquel's interview with mutual friend Colin Smith, Stop doing listening and start being listening Jim Dethmer, Kaley Klemp, and Diana Chapman's “15 commitments of Conscious Leadership” Steven Pressfield's “War of Art” Robert Holden    Connect with Robbie Swale:   Website: https://www.robbieswale.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/RobbieSwale LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robbieswale/ Podcast: https://anchor.fm/12-minute-method    Connect with Raquel Ark:   www.listeningalchemy.com Mobile: + 491732340722 contact@listeningalchemy.com  LinkedIn

Through these conversations, you can learn how each coach came to coaching, grew their practice and found their way to the successful business they have today. Each interview, like each journey, is different. But each is also packed with insights, tips, suggestions and ideas to grow your coaching business, have even greater impact creating change in the lives of your clients and thrive as a human while you do it.With 25 episodes now recorded - which comes to almost 50 hours of content - I thought I'd record a short introduction to the podcast, for those who haven't been with me on the journey since Episode #1. In this short intro I point to some of the places you might want to start listening, although of course, you might just want to begin at the beginning.Keen-eared listeners may also notice that I reveal the next two guests, which until now was only known to me, them and supporters of the podcast - I hope it isn't too much to wait until those episodes drop in the next couple of months. They're really good ones. As always, let me know if you have any suggestions for the podcast or for future guests, and thank you so much for your support!For information about Robbie's wider work and writing, visit www.robbieswalecoaching.com.To support the Coach's Journey, visit www.patreon.com/thecoachsjourney and to join the Coach's Journey Community visit www.thecoachsjourney.com/communityMusic by My Good Man William: listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4KmeQUcTbeE31uFynHQLQg

Well, this is fun. Here's another episode featuring me, Robbie Swale. No guests this time, and no content from the past, either: this all new and includes some exciting announcements, as well as insights and stories I haven't shared before from my experience of creating new ways of working in my coaching business.In particular, I talk about:The lessons I've learned from the three group coaching programmes I've launched: how do we start a group coaching programme? How do we sell one to people?The four criteria I use when deciding whether to create a new way of working in my business.And, most excitingly, I launch the new Coach's Journey Community, a new way to work with me, starting from just £10 a month.That community is wrapped up along with the new opportunity to support the Coach's Journey financially. If you value this work that I'm doing and want to make it easier for me to continue it, and give it the potential to grow faster and further, you might want to consider becoming a Supporter. But don't worry, the podcast will always be free and there's no presure at all from me to support the podcast financially.That's only part of the episode, though - creating the Coach's Journey Community and a new one-on-one engagement that I'm running with several clients this autumn made me really think about how and when I create new ways of working with clients. In this episode, I've tried to really share how I think about creating new ways of working, including why I'm excited about this one, and all kinds of things that might be valuable to you on your journey as a coach. If there's anything I didn't cover or anything you want to ask, let me know and maybe I'll do a follow-up episode answering questions!For information about my wider work and writing, visit www.robbieswalecoaching.com.To read more about supporting The Coach's Journey, or to become a Supporter or a Community Member, visit https://www.patreon.com/thecoachsjourney.Music by My Good Man William: listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4KmeQUcTbeE31uFynHQLQgThings and people I mentioned (that you might be interested in):~5: My article, ‘Jordan Peterson Is Not Evil and Why That Matters' - https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/jordan-peterson-evil-why-matters-robbie-swale/~10: My article, ‘How I Became A Full Time Coach Less Than Two Years After Finishing My Training' on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-i-became-full-time-coach-less-than-two-years-after-robbie-swale~10: My 200th LinkedIn Article: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/lessons-from-200-linkedin-articles-out-robbie-swale/~13: Phil Bolton and on the podcast: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-2-phil-bolton-from-forensic-accountant-to-the-go-to-career-coach-in-london-and-on-to-work-with-ceos-mds-and-founders~13: Mike Toller: https://www.michaeltollercoaching.co.uk/~13: Vegard Olsen: https://coachingpartner.net/cp/en/vegard-olsen-2/~14: Joel Monk on the podcast: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-6-joel-monk-conversations-at-the-cutting-edge-of-coaching & The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Big-Leap-Conquer-Hidden-Level/dp/0061735361~16: Rich Litvin and The Prosperous Coach: https://richlitvin.com/the-prosperous-coach/~16: My article, 6 Reasons Why Hiring A Coach Is The Most Important Thing For You To Do If You Want A Successful Coaching Business: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/writing/6-reasons-why-hiring-a-coach-is-the-most-important-thing-for-you-to-do-if-you-want-a-successful-coaching-business~20: Minor Arias on the podcast: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-3-minor-arias-living-by-design-glz56~22: Warren Buffet's 25 things game - see Number 2, here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/15-ways-transform-your-relationship-time-get-more-done-robbie-swale/~26: Kristen Kosinski on the podcast: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-7-kristen-kosinski-power-of-being-truly-seen-with-all-your-messiness~33: My article, The Pioneering Women of Our Age on my website: https://www.robbieswalecoaching.com/writing/2018/9/10/the-pioneering-women-of-our-age and on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/pioneering-women-our-age-robbie-swale/~35: Katie Harvey on the podcast: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-1-katie-harvey-14000-hours-of-coaching-being-part-of-the-uk-coaching-vanguard-and-being-a-generalist-coach~36: The Genius Accelerator Group Coaching Programme: https://www.robbieswalecoaching.com/the-genius-accelerator~44: Jordan Hall: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMzT-mdCqoyEv_-YZVtE7MQ and more about the Zone of Genius and Hall's influence on my thinking about that in the introduction to The Power To Choose: https://www.robbieswalecoaching.com/writing/2019/12/30/the-power-to-choose-preview~55: My brother.

Minor Arias is a Costa Rican coach and entrepreneur and the author of two forthcoming books: VIVE por DISEÑO (LIVING by DESIGN) and Ya soy Coach, ¿y ahora qué? (I'm a coach, now what?). After 17 years working, managing and leading in multinational corporations, Minor became the first Hewlett Packard employee to receive coaching training in Costa Rica and set off on a journey into the world of coaching. It wasn't all plain sailing, though: at the end of his first year as an entrepreneur he had made less than he would have in a month at Hewlett Packard and was on the edge of bankruptcy. Then a chance encounter via Toastmasters set him off on a journey to the thriving coaching business he runs today.In this episode, we talk about:- How Minor didn't find coaching, coaching found him.- Why he chose to focus his work around coaching and not two other things he loves: speaking and training.- The simple calendar tool that his first coach taught him which led to turning his failing coaching practice around.- The origins of his new company, Vive Por Diseno (Living By Design).- What Minor has learned from founding that company: three key ideas for designing your own life.Plus, listen out for my incredibly shaky Spanish and Minor's beautiful English and wonderful accent.For more information about Minor, visit www.lideresdeterminados.com or find him on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/minorarias/For full show notes, an extended biography of Minor and more about the podcast's host, Robbie Swale, The Coach's Journey podcast as a whole and The Coach's Journey group programme, visit www.thecoachsjourney.com.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/4KmeQUcTbeE31uFynHQLQgThings and people we mentioned (that you might be interested in):~22 - John Maxwell Team and Certification: https://johnmaxwellteam.com~24 – The 360 Degree Leader by John Maxwell~28 – Toastmasters: https://www.toastmasters.org/~45 – Toastmasters Costa Rica: https://www.toastmasters.org/Find-a-Club/05159852-toastmasters-costa-rica~51 – Jason Leonard: https://www.linkedin.com/in/%E2%98%85jason-leon-l-i-o-n-9k-followers-%E2%98%85-33594a32~60 – The Prosperous Coach by Rich Litvin and Steve Chandler~60 – The other podcast guest I mentioned, who read the Prosperous Coach and was relieved to find she was already doing it, was Katie Harvey.

Phil Bolton is an International Coaching Federation Accredited Master Coach. After training as a forensic accountant and then working as an in-house coach at Deloitte in California, Phil moved back to his native UK and set out to become the go-to career coach in London. Then, after supporting hundreds of clients to take control of their career and find work they love, he started his second coaching business: supporting leaders and organisations that are pushing the boundaries, innovating and aiming to creating a better and more joyful world.Phil was also fundamental in Robbie's (and many others') development and learning as a coach through his now ‘resting' coach training organisation, The Coaching School. Through that experience and others, he carries a wealth of experience in how to create amazing coaching experiences for clients on everything from holding boundaries with clients, to co-creating and partnership, to sales.In this episode, we talk about:- How he transitioned from forensic accountant to the go-to career coach in London, including how he created and developed that niche.- What he learned about how to structure a coaching engagement for someone changing careers from coaching hundreds and hundreds of people going through transition.- Why he left behind a full practice working with career changers to shift to working with MDs, CEOs and owners not just coaching them but supporting them across their businesses.- The ‘hard' third or fourth coaching session: why his favourite bit of coaching engagements is the moment where clients doubt if the change they want is going to happen.- What Phil has learnt about sales from 13 years of running his businesses.- Why building a business that supports his lifestyle and self-care is fundamentally important to Phil.For more information about Phil, visit www.phil-bolton.com or find Phil on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/lessordinaryliving/For full show notes, an extended biography of Phil and more about the podcast's host, Robbie Swale, The Coach's Journey podcast as a whole and The Coach's Journey group programme, visit www.thecoachsjourney.com.For information about Robbie's wider work and writing, visit www.robbieswalecoaching.com.Music by My Good Man William: listen on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/4KmeQUcTbeE31uFynHQLQgThings and people we mentioned (that you might be interested in):IPEC coaching training: https://www.ipeccoaching.com/Rich Litvin: http://richlitvin.comThe Coaching School: http://www.thecoachingschool.co.uk
