Leadership Coach #148: Clifford Mogan - Navigating the Dual Responsibilities of The Coaching Leader

Welcome to The Coaching Podcast, your go-to source for insights into the dynamic world of coaching, leadership, and personal development. In this episode, we delve into multifaceted topics that define the essence of effective coaching and leadership. From exploring the dual responsibility of leadership - driving performance and developing capability - to uncovering the psychology and neuroscience behind coaching, we navigate through the intricacies that make coaching an essential asset for any leader. Our guest, Clifford Morgan, a seasoned organizational psychologist with over 17 years of service in the Royal Australian Air Force, brings a wealth of experience in leading and coaching diverse individuals. We'll journey through Clifford's transformative moments, including his best coaching experiences, the power of silence in coaching, and his personal evolution from military service to studying psychology. Join us as we unravel the mindset, skillset, and practices that make up great coaches and leaders. Here is a summary of the key points; 1.28: Best coaching moment: Don't happen during the coaching, they happen afterward when you find out the impact that you had. Also, when you equip leaders to create change and then they go and empower others to do the same = exponential effect! Coaching quote: "Your aim is to change everything by doing nothing." 5.34: Worst coaching moment: Silence is more effective than any coaching question because it creates a space for people to think, elaborate, and go deeper, which can create really useful insights. 8.00: Sliding Doors: Having left the military, Cliff pursued the study of psychology, specifically training as a scientist who examines the human psyche in the workplace. 9.45: What is the difference between being a psychologist and a coach? 12.43: What Makes a Great Coach? Mindset - How do you set your mind? What are your mindset fundamentals? What are the anchor points that you use to approach your coaching? For example, what are your goals? What are your beliefs (you need to believe that everyone is capable of solving their own problems)? Thought processes and patterns? What's your frame of reference? A robust skillset involves not just the ability to ask insightful questions but also the capacity to establish and nurture rapport and trust with the coachee. Practice has a dual purpose. Firstly, it involves gaining mastery by consistently honing your skillset. Secondly, it prompts reflection on whether you are approaching coaching as a true profession. 16.28: How do you unlock potential? How do you create change in a person? Where are you disciplined in your life? Discipline (time, energy, and effort), tells you what someone values + what they are Passionate about = Recipe for Success What's your story? 18.23: Why is harnessing energy so important for leaders? What does life-work integration mean to you? 21.06: What is the dual responsibility of leadership? 1) Driving performance 2) Developing capability 22.22: What makes a great pilot (captain)? The ability to empower others. 28.10: What did the military teach you about being a great coach? 34.17: What is the purpose of your book, The Coaching Leader?

Successful leaders are those who are able to achieve great results by making the impact they intend to. So how can we shift from simply having good intentions to actually having the outcomes and impacts that we are after? What does it take to shift from intention to action? We have the person who knows. Our speaker has served with the Royal Australian Air Force for over 17 years and is now an endorsed organizational psychologist.

Business Coach #147: Chris Lazzuri - Align your Values with your Effort to Achieve Success

On this episode of The Coaching Podcast, we delve into the highs and lows of coaching. Our guest is business development coach, Chris Lazzuri who authentically and honestly shares an early coaching experience about the pitfalls of labeling someone as 'uncoachable' prematurely and emphasizes the importance of dropping excuses, being adaptable, and seeking common ground. Discover the power of guiding individuals to realizations they never considered on their own, using thought-provoking questions to unveil new perspectives. As we navigate through the episode, we examine the concept of burnout, explore the qualities that make a great coach through the "ACE" framework, and gain insights into performance management conversations. We talk about the dynamics of the hybrid workplace, and a compelling reminder that in the ever-evolving landscape of professional success, soft skills overwhelmingly contribute to 85% of job success. So, whether you're a seasoned coach or someone eager to enhance your coaching skills, this episode promises a wealth of insights to elevate your coaching game. Some of the highlights include; 2.28: Worst coaching moments: Be mindful not to judge someone as 'uncoachable' from the beginning! Drop the excuses, be adaptable, and find common ground. Watch: Indecisive People Have A Hard Time Succeeding - Ed Mylett 6.33: Best coaching moments: When someone comes to a realization that they never would have thought of on their own providing them with a new perspective. For example, ask the following questions: What is your end goal? Why do you want to achieve that? What is it that you value? How are you aligned with what you are trying to accomplish with that value? What does success look like? What are some potential roadblocks? What scares you about the opportunities? "Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive!" (Sir Walter Scott, 1808) Shakespearean' phrase. 10.26: Sliding Doors: Burnout. 14.47: What Makes a Great Coach? "ACE" Authenticity - Stay true to yourself. Do people know what to expect? Curiosity - Stay curious like you were as a kid and assume a positive intent! Check out: About Chad Littlefield - We and Me Book: Ask Powerful Questions which Chad wrote with Will Wise refers to the fact children ask 300 plus questions a day while adults ask 70. Empathy - Understand a person's values and perspective. 20.59: What is it that you have learned the most about yourself from coaching? Emma: That sometimes less is more. Chris: Learning how to not take criticism personally. Listen, validate, and share. 26.38: Performance management conversations: Be authentic and use the SBI model: S = Situation - Explain the specific situation. B = Behavior - Identify the behavior. I = Impact - What was the impact on you, the business, and/or your feelings? Then talk through it together. SBI https://www.ccl.org/articles/leading-effectively-articles/closing-the-gap-between-intent-vs-impact-sbii/ 29.48: Hybrid workplace discussion. 34.55: If you are a technical expert, learn how to ask more questions because this will support and retain your people. Decades ago, in a research study conducted by Harvard University in conjunction with the Carnegie Foundation and Stanford Research Center, it was found that 85% of job success comes from having well‐developed soft and people skills, and only 15% of job success comes from technical skills and knowledge (hard skills).

Speaking Coach #146: Jon Yeo - The Art of Transformative Speaking Skills

Welcome to another captivating episode of The Coaching Podcast, where we delve into the world of transformative coaching, speaking, and self-discovery. In this episode, we unravel the art of coaching by exploring fundamental principles such as First Principles and understanding second-order consequences. Our guest, Jon Yeo, a speaking consultant, and licensee of TEDxMelbourne, shares his profound insights on coaching excellence, emphasizing the importance of deep connection, consistent methodology, and empathetic understanding. We journey through the intricacies of effective communication, guided by Jon's expertise in crafting TEDx talks that truly resonate. From exploring inner motivations to creating memorable speaking experiences, we explore the strategies that drive meaningful change. Join us as we navigate through the realms of coaching, speaking, and self-mastery, uncovering the secrets to influence, engagement, and the joy of transformative growth. Some of the highlights include; 1.29: Worst coaching moments: When a coach assumes they know more than they do. Assumptions are your biggest killer. 2.03: Best coaching moments: When the coach deeply understands the needs, values, and outcomes of that person. Are you even more committed than the coachee? How can a coach best prepare to be the moment? Do your homework! Meet them where they are at, based on their background and experience. Once you have arguably five times more information than you need, look for patterns. Look for 'First Principles' - what are the prime elements that if you removed them, actually stopped that thing from being? (Car analogy) This helps the coach and their client re-engineer their road map. 5.35: Do you have a practice of excellence that extends well before you even get there? It's more than just creating the time to prepare! 6.07: Sliding Doors: "I love what you do, and, do what I love." But that wasn't always the case for Jon. Moving to London transformed the way he thinks and the way he operates. 9.19: What Makes a Great Coach? Observant - how is your attention to detail around every micro-facet of their thinking, doing, action, practice, and being? Can you spot a pattern or schism (a split or division between strongly opposed sections or parties, caused by differences in opinion or belief)? Do you have a consistent methodology? Without a baseline, you can't measure improvement or direction. Open - Be honest that one day you might be wrong, or that you don't have all of the answers or you don't have the clarity that you really should have. If you are not open and vulnerable to this fact that you will never learn, grow, and evolve. How can you shift from a "know-it-all to a learn-it-all?" Empathetic - are you putting yourself in your coachee's shoes? 12.31: What drives someone to do something? (the human psyche) Inner exploration - How do you think, act, and operate? Who are you? Because everything you do is an expression of those elements. 14.12: What causes someone to pause, rewind, or abandon a TEDx talk? Pause and rewind: For reflection purposes Abandon: 1) The speaker is not interesting 2) The idea is too complicated 3) Or it wasn't the idea they expected Therefore, knowing why people engage and why people disengage will come down to your ability to say the right thing, at the right time, to the right person, and in the right way = the craft of speaking. 15.38: You need basic rules to follow for a successful talk (it's an art and science). TEDx talk TIPS and considerations: Most people take about 8 drafts before they are even more comfortable sharing their message with the world. Remember that before you get this draft it probably won't feel good, and/or sound great but that's okay and it is a part of the process. Most people 'stop here' but keep defining and refining because that's the fun and compulsory part. A typical draft will take half a day to a week (Chat GPT can speed up this process). Prioritizing the importance will help you determine the amount of time you need to prepare. Memorize the key bullet points (25 times to know the content) and note that it will take you 50 times of practice before you will be able to deliver a LIVED EXPERIENCE. Can you deliver your talk without thinking about it? Remember that "hope is not a strategy when you are trying to influence someone," 98% of the time, speakers have anywhere between 60 - 90% too much content. What do you want people to THINK, FEEL, and DO after listening to your talk? A TEDx talk is - Ideas worth spreading, they are not lectures worth learning. When we are speaking, it is actually an opportunity to engage, build rapport, and establish and build a relationship. Otherwise, you are just transferring information and you would be missing the point of the purpose of speaking. 20.46: What are second-order consequences? (The consequence of the consequence. 24.29: How can we make STEM more appealing to girls at a younger age? Follow: Sarah Moran is co-founder of Girl Geek Academy, a movement to bring one million women and girls into technology careers by 2030. Book: Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez (Data bias in a world designed for men). Men need to be honest that they are successful because the world is built for them. 28.58: TED talk recommendations: Mastery talks because of their simplicity and profoundness: 1) Weird or Just Different by Derek Sivers 2) How to Tie Your Shoes by Terry Moore Great speakers are able to create this two-way dynamic When we are more symbiotic the joy of life seems to show itself and the struggle disappears.

Coaching - Motivational lens cap. 34.09: What does optimal communication mean to you? Curiosity, empathy, connection, and humility.

Performance Coach #143: Bob Litwin - Unveiling Mastery, Flow State, and Equanimity

Welcome to another captivating episode on The Coach Podcast! In this episode, we dive into the realm of mastery, flow state, and equanimity with an extraordinary guest. Join us as we sit down with Bob Litwin, a renowned performance coach whose impressive achievements span from being a three-time tennis World Champion to ranking #1 in the world in senior tennis. In this enlightening conversation, we explore Bob's profound insights on coaching, growth catalysts, and the transformative power of rewriting our life stories. Discover how patience, persistence, and presence play pivotal roles in coaching and personal development, and unravel the concept of equanimity as a potent tool for maintaining balance amid life's challenges. Bob's wisdom shines through as he shares the process of changing our narratives, and we delve into his unique approach to coaching that centers on coaching the person first. Tune in to glean from Bob's wealth of experience, and be prepared to embark on a journey towards living your best story. This is an episode you won't want to miss! Here is a summary of the key points; 1.58: Worst coaching moment: Coaches remember that we work for the client, not the other way around. Listen to what they really want and who they want to be. Our job is to draw out of people who they aspire to be. 6.48: Best coaching moment: People come to coaching with an idea for what they want to work on but quite often this is the catalyst for growth. For example; "I want to wake up every morning of my life joyfully." 10.35: When do we need to stay patient and pull back with our clients? We move at the tempo of nature - patient yet very dynamic! Book recommendation: Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lesson by Mitch Albom 13.06: Sliding Doors: Working at a country club and realizing that there was a lack of respect. He wrote down his old story and then shifted that story to focus on the positives, for example; I'm unhappy here. It's a good job but I'm unhappy. I like to be outside in the summer. I like the fact I'm playing tennis and people are coming to me and saying that this is the best part of my week. I realized that I was teaching life skills. 21.27: What Makes a Great Coach? Patience - We need to be patient and coach patience - we need to have a level of acceptance of where we are at in order to move forward. Persistence - This is one of the qualities that Bob has trained into his 'being' that he is most proud of. "No, you can't do that" is like a call to arms. There is no "no". You have to be persistent. Presence - Being fully present in whatever you are doing. "Loving the journey" (23.51) - People are really good at loving the journey until it's bumpy and it's not working out. It's in the difficult moments, that helps us to grow. 27.05: Equanimity - Evenness of mind especially under stress. Meditation has helped Bob learn the art of equanimity. Equanimity is when you are still experiencing things coming at you (thoughts, feelings) and there are reactions but as they come at you, they just go through you as if your brain is Teflon and not Velcro. To learn more about masters in this field, follow Eckhart Tolle and Joseph Goldstein. They say that hundreds of times throughout our day we are winning and losing - and if we can stay down the middle, in a state of equanimity, the ups and downs don't affect us at all. That is where our best work lies, and it is where mastery lies. The Legend Of Bagger Vance Clip 2 Seeing The Field 36.53: Coach the person first. 37.40: Do you want to make more money? 39.20: "When people try to change me, I just get patient!" 43.36: The process for how to change your story. Step 1) Why are you calling me? (As a coach you take notes and pick up on themes). Step 2) Give the person their OLD STORY back to them about who they have been up until this moment. For example, "I'm overly emotional." About 5 or 6 things. Step 3) Now it's time to have a different story. This is the work that you may want to do. For example; "I'm a master at managing my emotional energy." Note: Before you change WHAT you are doing, you have to change WHO YOU ARE! Step 4) Pay attention to times in your day when your old story shows up. Because all of those times, you get to do a repetition of your new story (the future you). Step 5) Add an action to your new story, for example, going for a walk, or taking a breath, close your eyes, and sit quietly. Slowly your new story will become your end game. Once you change, you don't need that story anymore and you can upgrade to a new one. 49.06: When you write your new story down, you take yourself out of looping thoughts. It's a more linear experience, there is a beginning and an end. It helps to reduce ruminating. Pretend you are helping a friend with their new story. 52.44: What are your thoughts on WINNING?

Human Being Coach #141: Eryc Eyl - How to be "in service" to our fellow humans

Welcome to The Coaching Podcast, where we challenge conventional wisdom with a healthy dose of skepticism and explore the possibilities that lie beyond. Our guest today is a human being coach, Eryc Eyl, who is extremely passionate about helping individuals thrive by fostering work lives that are not only fulfilling but also empowering and self-actualizing. Join us as we dive into the realm of coaching and discover how leaders, both official and unofficial, can embrace a humancentric approach, putting human needs, motivations, fears, and aspirations at the forefront. Eryc will redefine the concept of "we" and uncover extraordinary opportunities that arise when we embrace our shared humanity. After all, at the heart of it all, we are all simply human beings seeking growth and fulfillment. Here is a summary of the key points; 1.48: Best coaching moment: The purpose of work is to support our aspirations and minimize our fears so that human beings can flourish! Remember to coach the whole human. 7.54: Worst coaching moment: Being clear on the specific coaching agreement upfront. 11.10: What does coaching mean to you? Do you need: A therapist - is great at getting at the WHY An Advisor (we need consent to step into that) - Here is how you might go about doing that A Coach - to listen and help the client gain perspective on what they are trying to accomplish (connect the dots) 13.00: Sliding Doors: The person who helped Eryc gain perspective and clarity. Specifically, 'to always be "in service" to my fellow humans (not corporations). 21.12: The difference between being "in service" compared to being "a servant". 21.57: Individual autonomy within an interdependent world - the concept of personal independence and self-governance while acknowledging the interconnectedness and interdependence of individuals within a larger society or global context. 22.39: What Makes a Great Coach? And, what makes a great leader? Listening - with the intent to really understand. Listen deeply. Asking - great coaching questions at the right time to create new realities. Connecting - the dots to help gain perspective. 25.56: When working with busy people, ask them: "When do you do your thinking?" Latin phrase meaning: It is solved by walking! 34.32: A definition of an engaged employee according to Erycl: "A fellow human who is so emotionally connected and committed to their work that they willingly and proactively go above and beyond their job description to help the organization attain its vision, fulfill its mission, and achieve its goals in return for the promise of increased satisfaction, fulfillment, self-actualizing, and flourishing." Book reference: "The Power of Full Engagement" by Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz. Stop trying to engage people, instead create conditions in which people are more likely to develop that sense of engagement Book reference: The Gardener and the Carpenter: What the New Science of Child Development Tells Us About the Relationship Between Parents and Children is written by Alison Gopnik Leaders can cultivate engagement (deliberate practices over time). 23.23: The 13 principles ..... X is more powerful than Y Video about the 13 principles for human-centric workplaces (https://www.eryceyl.com/videos/13-principles-human-centric) and the three highlighted below are discussed in this episode. Possibilities are more powerful than problems It’s better to involve than to instruct Connection is greater than compliance Strengths are greater than weaknesses Intrinsic motivation is greater (in the end) than extrinsic - Speakers need to stoke the motivation that already lives within people. Bribery (external motivation) only works in the short term. Clarity is greater than cleverness Why is greater than what Authenticity over authority Humans (think about them as humans), not employees Listening over talking Consistency over intensity Love is greater than fear We language over they - We is stronger than they. It really matters what we mean when we say "we" if we want to broaden our possibilities. 39.19: How can people take the first step towards becoming more human-centric in their leadership? Increase your listening ratio compared to talking! Download the first chapter of Eryc's new book: "Stop Engaging Employees - Start Being More Human" by following this link: https://www.eryceyl.com/emma 40.59: There is great strength in softness (soft skills) so let's lean-in that and begin to see our "soft skills" as strengths that really matter.

Well Being Coach #139: Jolie Wills - How do you lead under pressure?

Join us on The Coaching Podcast as we have the pleasure of introducing Jolie Wills, a renowned creator of tools for coaches hailing from New Zealand. Emma Doyle's connection with Jolie was established through the AUS-DENVER hub, a vibrant community that unites Australians and New Zealanders in Colorado. Drawing on her expertise as a cognitive scientist and a global thought-leader in resiliency, leadership, and team effectiveness under pressure, Jolie takes center stage in this episode. With firsthand experience leading teams through incredibly challenging circumstances, including the aftermath of the devastating Christchurch Earthquakes in her hometown, Jolie imparts invaluable insights. Prepare to discover practical examples of having courageous conversations and gain a deeper understanding of prioritizing our own health and well-being in the future. Get ready for an enlightening conversation that will empower you both personally and professionally. Some of the highlights include; 3.01: Christchurch Earthquakes (2010 - 2015) 3.36: Worst coaching moment: The superhero curse (the feeling of drowning) with too many balls in the air. When you are feeling like this, how can you be of support to others? 5.18: Self-care - "Energy and time is finite" meaning that both energy and time are limited resources. This also means that we have to be very intentional to create the biggest impact. 6.12: Best coaching moment: By taking a break (giving herself permission) Jolie was able to re-set and role-model self-care for others to follow her lead. 9.07: Sliding Doors: Christchurch Earthquakes - supporting the psycho-social role around recovery for the people affected by the earthquakes. Living with a constant state of threat and uncertainty (15,000 aftershocks from 2010 - 2015) and helping people who were suffering room burnout. 14.28: What Makes a Great Coach? (Curiosity, Empathy, Courage) Curiosity - what you first see and what you first hear is often really clouded by your own judgments. Therefore, be a curious explorer instead! Empathy - people need to know that you care, they feel heard, and valued, and that you have their best interests at heart. Courage - to ask the circuit breaker questions so that they can have a fresh look at their situation (mirror questions). ED Qu's: "So what's the truth here?" "What are you not saying?" JW: Be mindful of your "Planned continuation bias." And take a temperature check. 18.39: What is your go-to question? JW (a recovering martyr): "Are you a martyr (no boundaries) or are you a professional (care deeply about the mission but you set your boundaries)?" 24.31: How did you come up with the name Hummingly? 27.16: What are the 'Doing Well' cards? The Doing Well deck supports the well-being of coaching clients and their teams. There are 5 themes to help you be intentional, and set a plan when you are under pressure to help with your self-care while still being able to perform at the same time. For example; 30.10: Theme: Connect - your social network is critical during tough times. Theme: Dam Good Decisions - Ask a series of questions to check your decision-making. 34.30: What is the workshop in a box? To help leaders support their people. Tip 1) Know where your people are at? "Where am I at? Because that is where I am leading others to!" Leaders need to acknowledge how hard it is to look after themselves. Tip 2) Having a crew - who are the perspective checkers? Wise heads? Truth tellers? Vulnerability buddies? Tip 3) Have a set of leadership questions (to re-set someone's compass) For example: "What is most important to you in your life and what do you need to do to protect it?"

Business Coach #138: Dan James - What's your ultimate impact?

Dan, the Founder of Story 19 Consulting, possesses an unwavering passion for creating a lasting impact and helping others leave behind a meaningful legacy. He firmly believes that effective coaching entails meeting individuals where they currently stand, and he holds stories in high regard as the ultimate tool for effectively transferring information. Prepare your notepad and settle in for an enlightening conversation, as this episode is packed with invaluable tips and strategies that are worth remembering. Some of the highlights include; 1.38: Best coaching moment: My ultimate impact was to stop coaching knowing the difference between when to be impactful and when to let the impact take care of itself. When teaching a skill there is a progression: You: Teach it, coach it, integrate it, and then allow them to use it. 3.53: What do you think of on-court coaching? It's healthy if you use cue words, like "time and space" and the player knows what you are talking about. 4.51: Worst coaching moment: When I was trying to prove my knowledge (this is ineffective and an energy drainer)! Instead, be intentional and impactful. Translational Communication - Meet people where they are at. The awkward silence gives people an opportunity to process. Shout out to my mentor, Damian Carmody-Stephens - who lives and breathes "the power of the pause". 9.56: Sliding Doors: Dan's passion for coaching wheelchair tennis and pursuing this as a career in Chapter 1. The next transition happened when he asked himself, am I a leader or am I a coach? He started his company, Story 19 Consulting. 13.48: What Makes a Great Coach? Impact - it's the foundation of his coaching. Find the lane in which you deliver your impact (legacy). What is the impact that you want? 15.40: Why do we need to pick one lane? In one sentence - what is your ultimate impact? This helps with your clarity. 16.05: Dan's ultimate impact statement is: "Creating vehicles to help others find their best self." 18.32: Emma's ultimate impact statement is: "I harness energy and empower people to take authentic action and see real possibilities." Start at 50,000 feet and think about what your ultimate impact is? 20.21: "Being right is far less important than doing the right thing." Give credit to the person who shared that gold nugget with you. 20.51: A definition of an engaged employee (Thanks Eryc Eyl). 23.23: When you are first in front of an audience - What do you give of yourself to connect? 24.40: A story is any vehicle that creates an understanding. Start with a personal story that relates to your content when you are delivering your next presentation. 28.02: What makes a great storyteller? Authenticity 29.17: Create an impact outline - share a story, how this relates to each impact point, and provide information that is evidence-based. 31.31: Who impacted you? "Who I was ... was far more important than how well I did." (High school coach, Jim Holden) "The impact you make is more important than the results you deliver." (College Coach: Steve Wilkinson) 32.29: What are your top three impact tips? 1) Coach the person, not the skill. 2) Don't try to be someone else. 3) Celebrate failure as the only vehicle to success The Coaching Podcast is sponsored by The Sampson Agency - a talent entertainment and sports management company owned and operated by Tina Samara.
