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.

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.

Chapter 1:Summary of The Inner Game of Tennis"The Inner Game of Tennis" by W. Timothy Gallwey, published in 1974, explores the psychological aspects of tennis and performance. Gallwey introduces the concept of the "inner game," which focuses on the mental challenges players face, in contrast to the conventional focus on technique and physical skill.Key ideas include:1. Self 1 and Self 2: Gallwey defines two selves within each player: "Self 1" is the conscious, critical mind that often judges and criticizes performance, while "Self 2" is the intuitive, body-awareness part that possesses the innate ability to play well. Success in tennis (and by extension, other activities) comes from quieting Self 1 to allow Self 2 to perform naturally.2. Focus on the Process: Instead of fixating on outcomes (winning or losing), Gallwey emphasizes the importance of focusing on the process of playing. By paying attention to specific aspects of the game—like the feel of the racket on the ball or the rhythm of a stroke—players can enhance their performance.3. Learning through Awareness: Gallwey advocates for a learning approach based on awareness rather than instruction. He encourages players to observe their own movements and feelings rather than relying solely on external judgments. This self-discovery leads to greater mastery.4. Quieting the Mind: Techniques for achieving mental calmness, such as visualization and mindfulness, are discussed. By reducing mental chatter, players can improve concentration and performance.5. Self-Directed Learning: Gallwey encourages players to develop their own learning pathways, suggesting that people often learn best when they discover solutions themselves rather than solely following authoritative advice.Overall, "The Inner Game of Tennis" serves as both a guide for improving tennis skills and a philosophical exploration of the mental aspects of performance in any field. Its principles are applicable beyond tennis, making it a valuable resource for anyone looking to enhance their mental game in sports or other pursuits.Chapter 2:The Theme of The Inner Game of Tennis"The Inner Game of Tennis" by W. Timothy Gallwey is a seminal work that explores the mental aspects of tennis—and, by extension, performance in any skill-based activity. The book highlights the psychological barriers that players face and offers insights into overcoming them. Below are key plot points, character development, and thematic ideas: Key Plot Points1. Self 1 vs. Self 2: The foundational concept of the book is the distinction between two selves: Self 1 (the critic, analytical, conscious mind) and Self 2 (the intuitive, instinctual, and natural aspect of oneself). Gallwey argues that Self 1 often hinders performance by overthinking and doubting.2. Mindfulness and Presence: Gallwey emphasizes the importance of being present in the moment. He advocates for a focus on the process rather than the outcome, which allows players to tap into their natural abilities.3. Trusting the Body: The book encourages players to trust their bodies and instincts. By quieting the mind, players can allow their muscles to respond without conscious interference.4. Visualization Techniques: Gallwey discusses the importance of visualization in preparing for performance. He suggests that visualizing shots can enhance actual execution on the court.5. Practice Techniques: The book details practical exercises that help players develop awareness and focus. These include simple drills that emphasize observing one's own actions rather than controlling them. Character Development- Gallwey as a Guide: Throughout the book, W. Timothy Gallwey positions himself as both an observer and a coach. His persona develops from an experienced tennis player and instructor to a mentor who provides readers with...

Co-Host Cary Valentine (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/cary) The term 'inner game' has been around for decades, dating at least as far back as Timothy Gallwey's seminal book The Inner Game Of Tennis. But since then, the concept has been applied to much more general areas of life than just tennis. My guest Cary Valentine is a deep thinker on this subject, to the point he's named his organization Champion Your Inner Game. According to Cary, a lot of people take a curious interest in the general idea of improving their inner game, but have a hard time actually defining what it means. Well, to start off, he offers a solid definition, along with the real-world goals that can be reached by focusing on it. Cary would say that the neuroscience of the subconscious is a language. What does he mean by that, and why is it so important to understand? And further, why is getting our inner game under control so hard to do...particularly here in Western 'developed' cultures? What is the simple (but apparently difficult) first step most men need to take in order to get their inner game in order? What inner game steps actually make our outer game better? What was Kobe Bryant's secret to bulletproof inner game? How did Cary set his dreams in motion and make his ambitions happen in a completely different, out-of-the-box way than most? In particular, how did his focus on inner game result in finding a great woman? How can you do the same...practically and realistically? Why does having a scatterbrained inner game prevent us from getting better as a man in just about every way? How did being a student drummer at Berklee College of Music (not unlike Miles Teller's character in Whiplash) practically force Cary to focus on his inner game? And finally...how did Cary later 'bring LA to Hawaii', starting with getting his head together?

Send us a textEver wondered how you can transform a toxic workplace relationship into a thriving collaboration? In this episode, we unravel the example case of Maureen and examine how executive coaching can turn around even the most challenging team dynamics. We delve into the core principles of coaching as a client-centered, goal-driven partnership that stands apart from traditional training methods. By exploring the evolution of coaching practices from their mid-20th century roots to today's sophisticated blend of psychology and productivity enhancement, we shed light on the powerful impact coaching can have on personal and professional growth. Trace the fascinating journey of business coaching from the 1980s to the present day, where concepts borrowed from sports performance have reshaped corporate strategies. We highlight key milestones like the founding of the International Coaching Federation in 1995 and dissect the nuanced differences between coaching and mentoring. Gain insights into how modern neuroscience and positive psychology are revolutionizing coaching practices, fostering mental health, engagement, and happiness in the workplace. This episode provides a comprehensive look at how these advancements are making waves in executive coaching today. We explore the mixed receptiveness among coachees and the challenges of helping individuals who resist change or are uncomfortable with self-reflection. Learn why continuous growth and pushing beyond comfort zones are essential for sustained success and how long-term investment in coaching can drive significant organisational benefits. We discuss the financial aspects of coaching and advocate for broader access through technology. For those seeking to explore further, we recommend influential figures like Timothy Gallwey and Marshall Goldsmith, particularly Goldsmith's innovative 360-degree feedback concept.

Nueva sesión del Club del Libro +D. Desde su primera publicación en 1974, este pequeño libro se ha considerado la biblia del tenis, y no porque explique las mecánicas del deporte, si no por su división del juego en dos: uno externo que se juega en la cancha contra el rival, y otro interno que se juega mentalmente con uno mismo. Esta segunda parte es la que nos ocupa, y de la que personalidades como Bill Gates dicen haber aprendido muchas cosas aplicables a cualquier faceta de la vida, incluida la inversión.

Introduction:  Author, Thought leader and Entrepreneur in the world of performance, learning and coaching  Myles Downey is a thought-leader and entrepreneur in the world of performance, learning and coaching. He was the founder of The School of Coaching, for many years a much- respected provider of coach training and executive coaching in the UK and Europe. Myles is the author of ‘Effective Modern Coaching', ‘Effective Coaching' and ‘Enabling Genius – a mindset for success in the 21st Century'.  Myles is one of the leading business performance coaches in Europe with extensive, global experience spanning thirty years. He has worked with CEO's, COO's and MD's in the most prestigious organisations from Banking and Financial Services, to Manufacturing and Oil and Gas to Professional Services and in the Public Sector.  Podcast episode Summary:  In this episode Myles Downey shares his passion for his work, his writing work, and the work he does to support leaders and organisations express themselves fruitfully and joyously for the benefit of the organisation and each other. There is a focus on his new book, The enabling Manager where Myles decodes the distinctions between Lead, Manage and Coach.  Points made throughout the Episode:    How did you get into this domain called Coaching? Myles started back in the days when the word “coaching” as we know it today was barely understood. Myles was a good tennis player and enjoying playing and competing and he came upon a book called “The inner game of Tennis” Myles was a professional architect at the time and after reading this book within 6 months began to explore the ideas housed in the Inner Game  The book title effectively divides the world into two, the inner world and the outer world where most of the focus for coaching was applied -such as how you placed your foot etc as opposed to the inner world the stuff between our ears. That was the start of Myles journey into coaching.  Myles set up his practice first in Dublin and then in London where he set up probably the first Coaching School called The Alexander Corporation in 1987 Was the world of sport ahead of The world of Coaching by way of that book The inner Game of Tennis? No like Coaching it was very mechanistic and focused on knowledge and how to rather than what was happening interiorly for a person or player.  What did you appreciate when you first heard about the Inner Game? Gallwey the author made a critical distinction between what he called Self One and Self Two.  Self-One is that part of you that is in fear, in doubt, in worry and Self-Two is that part of you that is in flow. Teaching tends to put people into self-one. They start to emulate the teacher and they “try” and trying cripples people. Operating from Self Two comes self-reliance and autonomy.   Timothy Gallwey used to employ a formula which Myles calls out and explains. Performance = Potential – Interference where interference is about doubt, fear, thinking about winning or not losing instead of being present. If you can reduce the interference for people then they can perform.  How did Sir John Whitmore and Graham Alexander influence your work? These two gentlemen had the rights to the Inner Game in Europe. Myles joined them as they both moved into the world of Coaching in Business.  What made the work of Sir John Whitmore so impactful in the World of Business? Time & Place provided a rich landscape from which John's work took hold. There was an openness in the mid 80s to alternatives. Sir John Whitmore was the first person to write a book on Coaching devoid of content such as tennis for example. His book was very simple and very readable. Sir John Whitmore was a man of humility and that meant his ego did not get in the way in his communication with others.  Myles does not subscribe to the Leader as Hero model. He shares his work with the English Rugby team and their take on Leadership housed in three capacities, Lead, Manage, Coach.  We often make the erroneous assumption that Leaders need to be omnipotent and be skilled in all three capacities. “Leaders are not perfect” and Myles loves that quote from Graham Alexander.  As an Author what motivated you to write? One of Myles greatest strengths is his ability to make intellectual distinctions that he can communicate.  Because Myles set up the school of Coaching he had to teach a lot and that motivated him to write too. Orian Publishing asked Myles to write a book and he felt he got “permission” to go ahead and write the book. Myles first book, a book on Coaching has been in publication since 1999.  What are the compelling messages you would like to share with the Listeners from your latest book?  Command & Control a model of Leadership that has been around for a long time does not work. Think engagement surveys, performance levels and a study that shared the 10 things people do not like about work. No. 10 was their manager.  Myles scanned the world to find what did work. The Military was one such place. Start-ups was the other place. In both there is an emerging practice that you could call an entrepreneurial mindset.  The US Army are exponents of what they call Mission Command. The thing they talk about most is Trust. 2 things prevail. People have to trust and they have to understand their mission. Entrepreneurial mindset is similar because everyone should know the primary objective of the new business.  Both places allowed for and encouraged people to be liberated to perform.  When Myles extrapolates these practices into his work he get to three doing words-nouns Lead-Manage-Coach.  Lead is about the Why. That is back to Mission Command-understanding the future direction and where the company is going.  Manage: describes the part a person will play in the game. Role, Goals, Projects, Tasks, Standards, Protocols etc.  Coach: once the person understands why something is important and their role in achieving it then you get into a conversation about “how” they might do it.  The authority shifts between the first two and the third. In the Coaching part the authority shifts to the person who is going to do the work. “Tell me how you are going to go about it?”  This shift in authority is one of the greatest difficulties for Leaders and managers alike. A lot of the time it is because they do not have the distinctions as described above.  The Leadership model moves from Command and Control to Align and Enable.  What inspired you Myles to encapsulate your model with the Noun Relate. A robust relationship based on trust will allow for these kinds of conversations to happen.  Relationships before results is a Mantra I use and Myles agrees it is so fundamental to work and for him before he does any team work he will indulge some time to build relations between members.  When people build relations and build trust they have the difficult conversations so quickly.  What eludes managers and leaders to apply these four nouns? A lack of understanding. So many companies try to build a coaching culture for example. Myles says “stop” stop right now. You do not want a coaching culture you want a performance culture. You have to be able to hold people to account.  Psycho Synthesis is a body of work built up by Roberto Assagioli in the last century. One of his ideas concerned Love and Will. There are two fundamental drives, one is love the other is will. Love is a feminine energy based on trust, based on nurturing, about letting things happen and is somewhat non-judgemental. Will is a more masculine energy, is founded in control, rigid and structured. Assagioli made the point that whilst love sounds like a good thing it has its shadow. If you are overly nurturing as a parent you rob the child of their opportunity to grow. Similarly Will might not seem appealing but if a child does not have boundaries that is not useful. Myles equates the love piece with Coaching and the good Will with managing and you have to have both.  Assagioli shared his idea that that any time you have two ideas, such as  Will and Love that naturally form a spectrum you need to get above both to see what is going on and for him that formed a tringle and the word he chose was Presence.  Presence, Will and Love underpin Myles model Lead, Manage and Coach. His model is underpinned by Relation.  Relationship and Intent or the fundamental understanding of intent allow for the application of Will and direct communication.  What does it take to be able to adeptly move between these domain, Lead, Manage and Coach? Myles answers by referring to some research that supported his book enabling genius. The research was looking at answer the question; Across those people who have displayed “Greatness” what did they have in common? The research unearthed a few things. 1. Identity was important- people understand who they are in a particular domain and how they uniquely express themselves. 2. Will was another and 3. Mindset was the third and 4. The importance of continuing to learn and grow Most people when given a new job to lead people are giving no training. In the UK 71% of people who are given responsibility for people are not given any training.  Most people when they get into a leadership position do not know who shows up. It's a potpourri of the things they have had done to them, the expectations of the company etch. Rarely it is about that persons own authority what comes from within.  Myles works with Leaders to help them understand who they are as leaders. Myles has developed over time a process that starts by asking a few set questions followed by a visualisation exercise and then a few more questions to pull the analysis together. Some of the questions sound like the following; As a Leader what are you great at? What do people come to you for?  What are you becoming? The visualisation exercise produces a symbol that represents a Leaders presence/essence and genius.  The exercise ends with the question what would you say is your unique identity as a Leader.  Mindset is not a given it is something that you unconsciously develop over time and knowing that you can start to develop it consciously over time.  Myles shares his own approach critical to informing his mindset. He uses six post cards that characterise his desired mindset. This is something you can create and guide your behaviour every day.  FTSOW (For The Sake of What) is this mindset important. You need to contextualise a mindset.  Somewhere in that mindset has to be other people and how you influence and lead other people & there also has to be something in there about how a leader maintains a clarity of context and a vision that is further than the crippling short termism that is so often evident.  To bring your book to life is there an example of a team you would be willing to share?   An example includes a case from a TV production company and Myles is quick to point out, not the BBC. One of his 1:1 clients, a C-Suite executive was determined to increase the performance of his unit. The work started with conversations with him as a leader and what that looked like and how he brought on and supported the performance of others. The leader formulated an idea that if he could up his own performance it would create a vacuum for his team to fill. As they moved through the work the leader appreciated he needed to improve his capacity to coach as did his leadership team.  Myles supported this leader and team through five workshops where they went through the domains of Lead, Manage and Coach. These were very practical workshops where Coaching was emphasised. On the fifth workshop Myles shared his workshop notes and together the team practiced the elements of the program to get the feel of the work. The team worked in pairs and delivered the content to their teams together, thereby learning from each other and with people.  The work proved to be transformational. The pairs were asked to have the work delivered across and down several layers of the organisation.  Unlike other Manager as Coach programs which often do not gain traction this one did by way of the commitment of the team, the clarity of the Leader about what needed to happen & unequivocal will to make it happen. The Leader was incredibly compassionate with his people & supported them to integrate the material in a digestible fashion.  Myles ended this podcast by sharing his wish for the future of work. Human beings should find ways to express in the world, a genuine, authentic expression of you, me, they in the world. Myles plays tennis not because he is competitive but because he loves expressing himself on a tennis court. Myles wishes that our workplaces should be places where people can express at least parts of themselves, fruitfully and joyously.  Resources shared across this podcast  Myles Downing is the author of ‘Effective Modern Coaching', ‘Effective Coaching' and ‘Enabling Genius – a mindset for success in the 21st Century'.

Equanimity – What is it?  And why is it SO important for your game – Jon Adler Today we are joined on the Brain Booster with Performance Coach Jon Adler who has worked at all levels of the game from club players to European Tour winners. Jon is also an accomplished golfer himself and he brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to our show today. More importantly he brings a wonderful disarming honestly to our exchange in terms of what CAN and CAN”T be achieved working on the mental aspects of the game. His own story is extraordinary in particular how he had a game changing experience on a TEN day SILENT MEDITATION retreat His journey began in 2001 as a coach to business owners and professionals. When he stopped playing football and started to play more golf. Jon was heavily influenced by Timothy Gallwey's book The Inner Game of Golf. So I wondered if I could combine what I had learned in coaching business people with this new understanding of the Inner Game of Golf.  I began to coach a friend at my local golf club. I am not a swing coach. My interest is in how we can develop the mind for better performance. He also spent time with the late golf psychologist  Jos Vanstiphout on the European Tour. As Jon says: “The understanding of your mind is available to anybody. You do not need to be a certain standard of golfer to understand your mind, play better golf and improve your focus and concentration. The same universal principles apply to us all.” In today's show we discuss: The principles of equanimity Being able to accept golf and life as it IS not as we would want it to be Beginners mind – How to look through a very clear lens True principles of acceptance – what it is and more importantly what it isn't Craving and aversion Wanting a result too much or being fearful of an outcome The experience of the YIPS – what is actually going on The pathway to a yips recovery To find out more about Jon go to www.golfisamindgame.com To find out more about the Mind Factor go to www.themindfactor.com To find out more about the golfer's health screen with Pall Mall Pall Mall's health screen packages assess your blood profile, highlight any markers for certain cancers, check your heart health, stroke risk, other major organ health and much more.

What do Charles Barkley, golf, toothpaste and Amy Grant have in common? They all make their way into this episode about sorting through and cleaning up the voices in your head. What are the voices in your head? Are they helping you or hurting you? Once you figure that out, then what can you do about it. That's where Mark and John go in this episode.   Video References: Charles Barkley Interview: https://youtu.be/VkDq_6xlZhY?t=91 Charles Barkley Commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMe6Lp4Ekbo    Expanded Notes: Everyone deals with voices in their head; It's how you deal with them that matters Some summary reactions to Barkley's interview: Too many voices leads to confusion, distraction and lack of focus Pick a voice and go with it The voices, the lessons, the practicing, can feel like activity when it's actually keeping from you playing the game. Or they can become the quest for the next thing that will finally get you there Check your motivation and adjust accordingly Determine who the best voices are (the top 1-3) and focus there Not all head voices are positive, some are quite negative When you fail to execute, which voice(s) helps you to recover Anticipate 'the errant shot' so that when it happens you know how to recover Book Reference: The Inner Game of Golf by W.

When Lucy Ball found herself throwing golf balls into buckets at Deloitte in the mid-90s, she became caught up in the first sparks of the corporate coaching boom that would sweep through countless industries in the decades that followed.In our conversation, she describes how the people she met during that time – such as GROW-model creator Sir John Whitmore – offered a new leadership pathway, which involved a departure from dictative models and allowed coachees to lead their own development.While Lucy was director of the international leadership consultancy, Ideas Unlimited, she began to transition into high-performance coaching. She describes how, by facing fears of going it alone without backup and facilitating teams of “heavy hitting people”, she found a sense of power and influence while shaking off her inner critic and her need to be rescued.A self-described “magpie" in her twenties, Lucy now focuses her attention on Lucy Ball Consulting, where she applies her skills as an accredited Master Coach and Gestalt practitioner while working with clients such as NatWest, PepsiCo, HSBC, UK Sport, M&C Saatchi Group, BUPA and the NHS.Lucy is training to be a psychotherapist and finding ways to channel her work more altruistically, with people who might not have access to sizeable training budgets. She is also finding agency and empowerment through her passionate climate activism. In this episode, we talk about:How to get comfortable talking about being a coachThe benefits and pitfalls of coaching accreditation programmesKnowing when to partner up and the power of taking people with youWhat happens when you choose a modality and "go deep"Going "back to the source" of counselling and psychotherapyPairs coaching and the new lens it can offer leadersWe also talk about finding community and the joy that can be unlocked when people work together on big problems.To learn more about Lucy, visit https://www.lucyballconsulting.comFor information about my wider work, my writing or to buy my books, visit www.robbieswale.com.Music by My Good Man William: listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4KmeQUcTbeE31uFynHQLQgTo support the Coach's Journey, visit www.patreon.com/thecoachsjourney and to join the Coach's Journey Community visit www.thecoachsjourney.com/community.

On today's Brain Booster we welcome the originator of ‘Automatic Golf' Cameron Strachan. Cameron is an Australian coach who has produced numerous books and programs around the ideas of automatic golf and automatic learning. Most of what you're being told to do isn't working. And as Cameron likes to say, "Only around 2% of the golf population can make all the technical stuff work for them. Everyone else needs a better way". For the last 25 years Cameron has been writing and thinking deeply about the golf learning process. He has been on a mission to make golf learning easier and more fun for the other 98%. We discuss how he learned to play the game. A unique journey of self discovery Going from shooting in the high hundreds to sub par rounds without any kind of formal instruction. Then after this stellar progress he took some lessons and began to really struggle to implement the positional theories into his game. He got really bogged down with the theories and began to fall out of love with the game. Then the discovery of the ‘Inner Game of Golf' by Timothy Gallwey and how the ideas in the book transformed his approach to the game and led to a lifelong fascination with the learning process in golf. Cameron details the work he did with Aaron Baddeley on his putting. How he helped him to totally simplify his approach on the greens The concept became known as ‘Look and Shoot' Eliminating so much of the ‘noise' that can be created on the greens Occupying the conscious mind with some neutral focus to allow the body to take over This work culminated in Baddeley becoming the best putter in the world for a period of time in the early 2000's   How to take a more natural learning approach to swing issues Giving students problems to solve The ability to distract the conscious mind to let the genius of your body take over The power of really effective questions Drawing out learning from students The magic of SILENCE in a true learning environment How you can create a resilient golfer through effective learning environments   To find out more about Cameron Strachan and take advantage of his special offer for Brain Booster listeners Go to See - https://automatic.golf/brainbooster     Take ACTION and become a Mind Factor coach, go to https://themindfactor.net/the-certification-course/    

In the book The Inner Game of Tennis: The Classic Guide to the Mental Side of Peak Performance, author Timothy Gallwey describes a one-on-one lesson he had once with an adult tennis student. The student was aware of a problem with his serve, as several other teachers had pointed it out to him, and he could describe it in great detail, and what he needed to do to fix it. So Timothy decided to try a different approach than the previous coaches that the student had worked with.He observed the man serve a few times, then, instead of trying to find a new, better way to explain the problem that the student already knew he had, he simply instructed him to practice his serve in front of a large window that functioned as a mirror. Almost instantly, the student recognized the problem in his own serve—he saw it with his own eyes for the first time—and made the necessary corrections to relax his arm.The man thanked Timothy profusely and told him that he had taught him more than all the other teachers he had had in the past. But Timothy said, “What did I actually teach you?” The man was quiet for a few seconds as he thought and he said, “Well I guess I don't really know! But you helped me so much. In 15 minutes, you made more of an impact than the hours of private lessons I've had.”Timothy reflected on this experience later and he wrote in the book, “He had learned, but had he been ‘taught'?" He went on to explain: "I had learned and he had learned, but there was no one there to take credit. There was only the glimmer of a realization that we were both participating in a wonderful process of natural learning.”Now, when I told this story to Steve on our morning walk the next day, he argued that some level of teaching still took place here. That is true—Timothy had the foresight to know what the student needed, to see one step beyond where he was and help guide him to where he wanted to be. In this way, Timothy facilitated the student's learning.And I think that's where the distinction lies: Facilitating vs. Teaching.That's what we're going to talk about today.For show notes, click here.Resources Mentioned*Disclosure: I get commissions for purchases made through links in this post.The Inner Game of Tennis: The Classic Guide to the Mental Side of Peak Performance (Timothy Gallwey)“Piano Class for the Real World”: Exploring Experiential Learning with a Collaborative Inquiry Group in a Creative Musicianship Lab (Ashley Danyew)“Bridging the gap: Informal learning practices as a pedagogy of integration” (Heloisa Feichas)

Ours is a performance driven world, especially for managers and executives.. They feel the constant pressure to hit critical numbers in terms of production and profits. To meet those expectations, they are continually tweaking their own performance and the performance of their team. In this episode we examine the basic principle of performance enhancement advanced 40 years ago by Timothy Gallwey in his book The Inner World of Tennis. Gallwey had an unswerving belief that people genuinely want to perform well. What holds them back is some type of interference which thwarts their potential. His formula for performance was therefore to eliminate the interference so that higher performance can blossom. The type if nterference which Gallwey addressed is internal. It's the self-deprecating self-talk which we easily slip into whenever we make a serious mistake, fail at an important task, or face a daunting challenge.. But performance-stifling interference can also be external. And these external performance inhibitors are the subject of this episode. Dr. Mike calls on managers reframe the way that they think about weak performance on the part of their people. He urges managers to develop an initial instinct to look for the interference, whether internal or external, which is choking off greater performance.

When Riley Jensen was growing up, sports like tennis, basketball, and football played a huge part in his life. He eventually earned a spot playing football for Utah State University, but after graduating, left sports behind for sales. It wasn't until his wife asked him an important question that his love of sports and psychology came together in a new career at 42 years old. In this episode, I talk with Riley about how he decided to make that change and the difference he feels now between just working a job, and being in a career he loves. We talk about the anxiety generation, the three things that can demotivate someone, and how to turn any loss into a win. This interview is one you don't want to miss, packed full of advice for athletes, parents of athletes, and anyone interested in developing mental toughness. - Links: DN Article about Riley--How a former USU quarterback changed careers at age 40 and is helping athletes cope with anxiety using universal principles - Deseret News The Inner Game of Tennis--The Inner Game of Tennis: The Classic Guide to the Mental Side of Peak Performance: W.
