Embracing and learning from our dark side, the place we don’t want to acknowledge within us or our saboteurs, can allow us to speak our truth. And it can also free us from the things that hold us back from living a whole-hearted life.

Deep values work is the key to creating fulfilling and purposeful lives. Values drive our decision making and behaviours. If we do this deep and intensive work, we can make decisions easily and effortlessly aligned with the things that matter most in our life (our values) versus being guided by other people's values - like our parents', our community or cultural values and so forth - which often we adopt without questioning. But on a deeper unconscious level, these values we adopt as we grow up (often unconsciously), can sabotage our happiness and success.

Jeanine and Marie talk about how coaching skills have opened up their clients’ worlds and opportunities, sharing their recent work with an organization that has supported successful leadership both in the workplace and in their personal lives.

We were recently asked 'how to deal with a session as a coach when you feel that session was a failure, no awareness was made and the client became confused and left the session confused.' At Empower World, we believe this is a fantastic opportunity to work on ourselves as a coach - to support us to be even more powerful - and get really clear about what we might do differently by getting specific feedback from ourselves (as a coach) and importantly from the client. Yasmeen Hassan - Empower World Associate and ICF Associate Certified Coach joins in the conversation with great insights as to how manage ourselves as a coach. 

In Empower World's Coaching and Leadership Podcast Episode 129, Jeanine interviews experienced coach, mentor and supervisor Lily Seto to explore the magic of metaphors: what they are and how to support clients to tap into their visions, words, body language and more to create deeper awareness about what is really going on underneath the surface of their story.

We speak with Influencer and coach, Alex Swallow, about his life and work experiences and how living authentically is important for how he shows up and impacts his world. We get curious about what it means to be an authentic influencer: exploring the importance of aligning our values with our actions, staying true to your purpose, choosing to live in fulfillment, and how - as coaches - doing our own personal work is just as important as supporting others to do theirs.

Michelle Arscott shares how living her life according to her purpose, values, and passions has lead to creating her dreams which is bound to create a beautiful legacy.

In Empower-World's Coaching and Leadership podcast, Larissa Thurlow, certified coach and leadership development professional based in Canada - shares her experience of being instrumental in the introduction and development of a coaching culture and approach to leadership in the workplace within a university based in Qatar. This is with the aim to create greater organisational awareness, opportunities, resourcefulness and effectiveness.

Just like Stephen Covey, author of 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, said in relation to the seventh habit - Sharpen the Saw - coaching super-vision also supports coaches to 'preserve and enhance the greatest asset you have – you.' Supervision provides a safe place to reflect, renew and develop as coaches and who we are being first and foremost. Lily Seto, an ICF PCC coach and an award-winning supervisor as recognised by the EMCC in 2021 explains what supervision is and isn't and the benefits of this powerful practice in this podcast.

Effective, powerful leadership and coaching are very interconnected. This is because coaching skills - such as holding space for people, deep listening, asking thought-provoking questions, effectively providing feedback, and getting curious about the person, team, ideas, emotions, energy, intuition, and much more - within systems support engagement, wisdom and inspiration to come together and find a way forward. Katie Mapondera shares some very interesting insights about what really effective leadership is through her own experiences and what she has learned.
