Middle managers need far more support to help them thrive in their roles and develop into effective senior executives. So Lisa Robyn Wood, owner of GRIP Coaching tells us. Lisa was a successful middle manager at such major corporates as British Gas and Lucozade Ribena. She enjoyed her jobs but started to realise that coaching people was the thing she most loved. What sets her apart is she acted on it. Lisa put herself through a recognised coaching qualification, and began coaching as a side hustle in 2016. In 2020, she left the corporate world, and joined her husband running a pub in Oxfordshire. Little did she know that COVID was just around the corner, bringing a set of challenges greater than any she had faced as an employee. Despite the myriad issues she was faced with, Lisa navigated that period successfully and when her husband decided it was time to sell the pub she was ready for the next step in her journey. Having been growing her coaching business whilst working, Lisa became fully committed to GRIP Coaching in 2022, a business that is growing year by year. Her voice is also reaching many through the podcast she launched with her co-founder Suzy Hunt, The Coaching Cast. Lisa tells us all about the pod and the wide-ranging subjects the pair discuss. Find out why coaching became so important to her and how she struggled with her own insecurities and lack of confidence as a manager. Having worked for British Gas, she is passionate about the utilities sector and explains why the perception the public has is rather skewed by the media. It is why she has joined the Women in Utilities Network and became a judge for their inaugural awards, celebrating successful women working in energy and water. She has also become a judge for this year's Best Businesswomen Awards, and compares her experience across the two programmes. Discover what she found so impressive about the entries for the BBWAs and why awards can have such an impact for female entrepreneurs. Lisa is great company, and anyone listening will get lots of insight into coaching, and inspiration from someone who followed their dream despite the significant pressure it put on her. It is also a useful reference point for anyone thinking of entering awards because it is likely Lisa will convince you to just do it!  {3:53} Lisa's journey into coaching. {10:11} Juggling a corporate role with a side hustle. {14:36} Leaving the corporate world behind as COVID hit. {16:57} The Coaching Cast Podcast. {18:24} Subjects on the pod. {21:48} Judging the Women in Utilities Awards. {27:18} Comparing entrants in the WIU and BBWA Awards. {30:25} What next for GRIP Coaching? {33:19} Who Lisa would like to collaborate with.   Connect with Debbie at: https://thebusinessawardsshow.co.uk Connect with Lisa: https://www.gripcoaching.co.uk/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/grip_coaching Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GRIPCoachingLtd YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUOOvEicDjfgpC_V3CZz5EA LinkedIN: https://www.linkedin.com/company/grip-coaching-limited/ The Coaching Cast: https://www.thecoachingcast.co.uk/

Feel the rush of victory and the agony of defeat as we unwrap a Super Bowl for the ages, where the Chiefs clutched a legendary win and Mahomes etched his name among the greats with a third MVP nod. It might just change the way you see the gridiron giants. Shift gears with us to the college football sidelines, where coaching carousels spin fast, making waves from Chip Kelly's dramatic shift to the Buckeyes to the burgeoning influence of NIL deals on the coaching market.Spencer McCutcheon joins the fray, as we spar over the LIV Golf Tour's challenge to the PGA status quo. This is not your typical golf chat – we're not just about the scores and stats. Spencer is teeing off on a personal journey with a new golf-focused YouTube venture. Reflections on a family hoops outing at WIU brings the warmth of a Midwestern hearth. The Super Bowl may have ended in triumph and turmoil, but it's the off-the-field stories, like the fiery halftime that nearly wasn't, that linger like the smoke from that extinguished blaze. Buckle up for camaraderie and a slice of Midwest heart.Check out Dial The Wild on Facebook and Instagram#dialthewild

-The Insiders in Studio with a packed Monday show-NDSU vs WIU recap and thoughts-Bison legend Phil Hansen-Voice of the Montana State Bobcats Keaton Gillogly-Vikings vs Niners preview

The second half of the 2023 FCS college football season begins Saturday for North Dakota State and in essence, the Bison season really begins this weekend. NDSU after being flattened by North Dakota last Saturday, returns home to host winless Western Illinois at Gate City Bank Field at the Fargodome. This game centers more around how the Bison play and who plays for NDSU this weekend than anything that the Leathernecks do. WIU is leaving the Missouri Valley Football Conference after this season for the Ohio Valley Conference, a move that became official in May. The Leathernecks have not won a football game in nearly two full years, entering on 19-game losing streak. The Forum's Jeff Kolpack and WDAY's Dom Izzo discuss the issues surrounding this year's Bison football team and where things go from here. They also discuss what potentially may happen over the final five games of the season.

Ross and Zach get together to break down the loss at UND, what it means for Bison football moving forward, and what can be learned as extremely heavy favorites against WIU on Saturday. Presented by Gateway Chevrolet

On this episode, Sam answers 26 questions from FCS fans on Twitter:How long before St. Thomas moves to a scholarship football conference? Which one is most likely to jump in and scoop them up? Can they have success at a scholarship level like they did jumping into PFL?How is it possible to make a champion and get an auto-bid when some teams in the same league go years without playing one another?Best transfer class brought in?Non mvc team who could win natty they won't but curiousWill off-field issues at Montana State derail the quest for a title?If it's the Football Championship Subdivision, shouldn't a team compete for/in that championship race to be ranked within the division? Disclaimer: I like Ivy football and hope to attend Harvard v Yale this season.Why can't the BigSky move to FBS? Wac/ Asun isn't a better conference. Build for the futureAfter losing their two best LineBackers, one to graduation and one to Georgia Tech, can the Vandals defense meet the high expectations this season?Why do I keep moving myself to states without FCS teams?How do you see the MVFC shaking out this fall?Who is your surprise team to make a run to the quarters or semis this year?Which Big Sky team with a new head coach is in better shape? Weber or Sac State?Which non-D1 teams do you see most likely making the jump to FCS in the near future?Why do FCS programs have better mascots and helmet logos than FBS?Who's the best bet to become the next Cooper Kupp or David Johnson to come out of the FCS?Hey Sam, besides the champs, who's the other top dog in the MVFC this year? What's the percent chance that it's UNI?Which is your favorite FCS conference and why is it the Big Sky?What teams would you like to see move down? I realize this is unlikely but it could be a fun discussion. Outside of the obvious (SHSU, App, JMU, and GSU returning) I think there's some schools playing bad football with poor fan support that could get a boost by moving downIt looks like the WAC-ASUN alliance is here to stay despite their earlier intentions. It's hard to believe the OVC-Big South alliance will stick beyond this year with the OVC adding WIU. What do you see happening with the 4 remaining Big South teams?Do we see a conference with 7 members get into the playoffs in the next few years? Or is it 6, whichever the record would be.Does Montana State have the toughest schedule in the history of college football?How many FCS schools will move to the FBS due to pressure of their better athletes consistently leaving for FBS programs due to the transfer portal?Who's the next FCS head coach to leave for an FBS assistant coach position?What conference will be the strongest in the FCS this yearDo you think Dakota and Montana schools would be at a similar disadvantage playing September games in SC or AL as SoCon/Southland teams are playing MT or SD in Nov/Dec? Do you think that's why they typically won't schedule home/home games with southern schools?The question on the nation's mind is singular: are the Hens back?
