I am looking forward to introducing you to my guest today Tracy Sinclair, MCC. Join us as we ponder what would be different in the world if Coaching wasn't typically a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th career, but rather if young adults could choose Coaching like they do Social Work or Organizational Psychology. What if Coaching was the first career? And, then we take a dive into the differences and similarities between Counseling and Coaching.

I am looking forward to introducing you to my guest today Ben Dooley, MCC. Join us as we discuss Ben's thoughts on what coaches need to hear about marketing, coaching, and clowning around.

Welcome to the Coaching Studio, I am looking forward to introducing you to my guest today Tünde Erdös, Ph.D., MCC. Join us as we meander through the forces that moved Tünde from extrinsic motivation to intrinsic motivation and how coaching aligned with that journey. Tünde Erdös, Ph.D., MCC, would say, "My profession is more than a vocation: it’s a pro-vocation: I coach in synergy with leadership, HR, teams, and workshop staff mostly in culturally diverse environments. What I learned is that staying fresh as a coach is the biggest challenge for me. So, I’ve decided to fall out of love and in love with coaching over and over again. My vision is to coach for connection between all stakeholders. The goal is to encourage systems-collaborative thinking, the key to organizational thriving beyond individual growth. I also place my practice on evidence base through my own engagement in research. And creating social impact through coaching has been my latest pet peeve: it's about moving from 'power for me' to 'empowering other women in Kenya - through coaching and coach training: and the coaching documentary is the most recent initiative to do just that. So thank you again, Tünde, for being on the show.

| 01 Sep 2022 | the Coaching Studio with guest Tara Nolan, MCC | 00:50:16 | |
I am looking forward to introducing you to my guest in the studio Tara Nolan, MCC. One of my favorite parts of the conversation was when Tara was talking about the "being" of partnership. And the move away from listening to the content and she shifted into listening now just for energy. Noticing what words really spring out to her that she could then be curious about. She said, "Am I picking something up and being curious about that and noticing the terminology, or when a client just takes a deep inhale and moves backward." These small easily overlooked elements that often lead to the deeper underlying important inquiries. Tara Nolan, MCC is a coach for Top Teams & Senior Executives of global concerns.

| 15 Sep 2022 | the Coaching Studio with Guest Mike Green, MCC | 00:50:37 | |
Today’s guest is someone who I think you are going to enjoy; I am excited to introduce you to Mike Green, MCC. In our conversation today, we talk about Mike’s adventure into Leadership Coaching, becoming an MCC, and how each coach has to discover how to let go of their baggage, such as the idea of adding value, to become the coach their clients need. Mike Green’s story reads like something from a Hemingway or Kerouac novel. This guy hitchhiked from New York to Alaska just to prove a point. He believes that leaders are made in the wild. In all environments, no matter how extreme, there is a shared fundamental need: people who are brave enough to discover their leadership truth. Throughout his 30 years of working and traveling around 63 countries throughout all seven continents, he has documented over 11,000 hours of coaching along the way. His book “Wandermust, A Hero’s Journey To Seven Truths” chronicles some of his travels as well as how he coaches clients in the outdoors. Mike utilizes various methods, including dynamic workshops, virtual coaching, face-to-face coaching, and adventure coaching, to help uncover clients’ leadership truths. He earned the Master Certified Coach accreditation from the International Coaching Federation, which is the highest standard for coaching. You’ll never discover the truth about yourself behind a desk, but in the rugged wilderness of Alaska, on the breathtaking plains of the Serengeti, or in the stunning Gobi desert. Extreme environments challenge us to become the best version of ourselves by drawing upon the courage within each of us to achieve new levels of performance. His book Wandermust is available on Amazon. Thank you again, Mike, for coming into the Studio. I hope you enjoy the show! You can find Mike Green, MCC, on LinkedIn and his website.

| 27 Oct 2022 | the Coaching Studio with Guest Mel Leow, MCC | 00:50:27 | |
On this episode of the Coaching Studio, I welcome my guest today Mel Leow, MCC. We discuss business, feedback, self-reflection, and bravery. The idea of partnership and the need to learn to get comfortable with "not knowing" so that we can be in full curiosity with our clients and thusly better coaches. When I asked him what he would say to those seeking their MCC, he responded, "I think I'll just start by saying don't take yourself so seriously. And I did, and I did the start, at least. Um, I kind of felt like I was the savior of the room. I didn't just do coaching; I did facilitation. I did some speaking gigs and, um, strategic leadership team meetings and stuff like that. So did all that. Um, and sometimes those experiences give you the feel like you're in control, back again. Um, but I guess, uh, the more I let the people do the work, um, the less I feel like I've got to build up this, and I've got to do this to build my credibility. All of that is, I guess, important for the growth." Connect with Mel Leow on LinkedIn.

| 10 Nov 2022 | the Coaching Studio with Guest Chariti Gent, MCC | 00:51:14 | |
Join me as I welcome Chariti Gent, MCC as she shares many nuggets of coaching wisdom that help us move through the internal churn of needing to fill the space and our discomfort with silence; Coaching with the Twenty-Second Rule was priceless! We also explore the work of education around equity and inclusion that she is working on with the University of Wisconsin Coaching Program. The question becomes, how do we bring white people together to do their work so that they can dig into themselves and figure out how to participate in advancing coaching as a paradigm for transformational change for human beings across the planet? Honoring other cultures and other experiences. Chariti Gent is a veteran of the coaching world, having started her journey by hiring her first professional coach in 2004.

| 01 Dec 2022 | the Coaching Studio with Guest Gideon Culman, MCC | 00:49:42 | |
On this episode of the Coaching Studio, I am thrilled to introduce you to Gideon Culman, MCC. Someone who I consider a good friend. I thoroughly enjoyed this thoughtful conversation with Gideon as we launch grenades into ideas about non-judgment and explore the idea of skillfully cultivated ignorance. Join me as we consider how our world is created and impacted by how we show up as a coach. Gideon received his MCC in 2020. He brings a deeply thoughtful style and curiosity into his coaching. Gideon believes that embracing curiosity is essential to creating the world we want. Life today is accelerating at a ferocious clip. The stability, predictability, and certainty that we may have taken for granted are falling away. The more tightly we cling to a fleeting world order we once knew, the more fluidly it seems to slip through our fingers. Stepping back and taking in the impact of the volatility that greets us at every turn can take our breaths away. Rising to the occasion of life in a rapidly evolving world and our exceedingly demanding roles in it leaves us with no choice but to grow and change.

| 12 Jan 2023 | the Coaching Studio with Guest Philippe Rosinski, MCC | 00:52:53 | |
I am happy to introduce Philippe Rosinski, MCC, to the Coaching Studio. We run the gamut from how coaching impacts human potential and how our systems may impact how we decide to be purposeful in this conversation to Culturally competent coaching. We discuss the difference between uniformity and unity. And how some organizations have an impoverishment of differences. In these times of the "Great Resignation," organizations need to be willing to get curious and shift towards more unity. This requires them to explore differences and open up to their diverse population's wisdom, supporting their people's empowerment to share something greater with their organizations and, ultimately, the world. Prof. Philippe Rosinski, MCC, is considered the pioneer of intercultural and global coaching. He is the author of two seminal books, Coaching Across Cultures and Global Coaching.

| 26 Jan 2023 | the Coaching Studio with Guest Christine Billy, MCC | 00:53:11 | |
I am happy to introduce Christine Billy, MCC, to the Coaching Studio. Join us as we dive into the Karpman Drama Triangle and discover how a coach can use the model to inform their curiosity and build their own courage. Christine and I explore what it means to come to the center of the triangle and how as a coach, to move from helper to coach. Focusing on the questions and not the solutions. How our preferred role influences the work we individually need to do to find our own center so that we can show up fully with our clients and in our lives. Christine shares, "I think life is about the learning that I do too. From control to openness. That's our wisdom because we are all unique. We all have a story in life. My experience in coaching is that if you create a safe space, a respectful space, where there is no judgment on the curiosity, and you are with the person or the team, then at some point, people dare to say things sometimes that they have never said to anybody else. And um, that's what we name a moment where they realize that they can face their emotions, their beliefs, and it's not dangerous; it's a relief. So it's a unique experience." Scientist and Master Certified Coach (MCC ICF) Christine Billy is passionate about Influencing individuals, teams, and organizations at all levels.

I happily welcome Miriam Guerrero Cheuk, MCC, to the Coaching Studio. Join us as we dive into ideas around empowerment and people's basic needs, Autonomy, Purpose, and Mastery. We also take a turn into the idea that the most impactful coaches are the ones that don't see themselves as coaches only professionally, but they see themselves as coaches in all aspects of their life.

I am pleased to introduce Dorothy Siminovitch, Ph.D., MCC, in this episode. Dorothy and I cover many topics, including the exploration of what Gestalt Coaching really is. Looking at how coaches can hold the space for their clients. Gestalt is very focused on the current present state. So awareness is a very key piece of Gestalt coaching. And there are different dimensions to awareness. Picking up your awareness, body cues, framing your awareness, naming what that is, understanding that you might have whatever it is that you name physical or emotional, or an idea might have some emotional energy, excitement, or anxiety. Deciding do we act on that? Awareness is a very key part of the Gestalt approach. So, today you will get a lot of insight into Gestalt Coaching. Enjoy! Dorothy E. Siminovitch, Ph.D., MCC, is a pioneer of Gestalt Coaching and a master coach certified coaching through the International Coach Federation. She is an international leadership, team, organizational coach, mentor coach, speaker, and author.

| 10 Mar 2023 | the Coaching Studio with Guest Ebony Smith, MCC | 00:58:08 | |
With great pleasure, in the final show of Season 2, I would like to introduce Ebony Smith, MCC. This conversation explores with thoughtfulness the idea of Self-Care for Coaches. Many coaches know all the things they need to tell their clients to help them with self-care, yet don't consistently practice the habits that serve them as coaches, leaders, and business owners. Join us as we relax into this idea of Leaders and Coaches starting with themselves, when it comes to care. Bringing an innovative, straightforward approach, she pushes individuals to leave their “Subject Matter Expert” mindset behind and become relationship-oriented leaders that drive their organizations into the future. Ebony is passionate about cooking, self-care, and exploring cultures. We help high-performing teams hack themselves to unlock the power of incremental self-awareness to increase resilience while achieving a flow state. For example, we provide longitudinal care to an opioid crisis team. Our work has reduced stress, increased collaboration, and actively reduced the factors that lead to crisis clinician burnout. Leadership is a skill and a mindset that needs space to incubate and grow.

Listeners will gain valuable insights into the balance between structure and flow in coaching, the role of curiosity, and the ongoing nature of professional growth.

| 27 Feb 2025 | the Coaching Studio with Guest David Goldsmith, MCC | 01:00:03 | |
In this episode of The Coaching Studio, Lyssa deHart sits down with David Goldsmith, MCC, for a deep and thought-provoking conversation about the realities of executive coaching, leadership, and the evolving landscape of the profession. David shares how an unexpected moment with his father led him to discover the power of perspective, a skill that would later shape his work as a coach. He recounts his early experiences in coaching, long before it was formally recognized as a profession, and reflects on the misconceptions that still persist in the field today. Throughout the conversation, David challenges traditional coaching norms, emphasizing the importance of balancing structure with adaptability. He discusses how sports coaching provides a valuable model for leadership development, particularly in how great coaches tailor their approach to individual needs. He also highlights the importance of feedback in both coaching and organizational leadership, pointing out that many leaders struggle to create a culture where constructive feedback is welcomed rather than feared. One of the most compelling parts of the discussion focuses on the future of coaching in an AI-driven world. David predicts that artificial intelligence will soon handle low-level coaching engagements, making it crucial for coaches to develop skills that AI cannot replicate. He encourages coaches to speed up their ability to deliver insights, reduce time to transformation, and integrate AI tools into their work rather than resist them. His challenge to coaches is clear: refine your skills, embrace change, and focus on the unique human elements of coaching that technology cannot replace. David and Lyssa also explore the deeper work required for coaches to be truly effective. He stresses that coaches must do their own personal development in order to help clients navigate complex challenges. He shares his own experiences with receiving feedback, the importance of continuous learning, and the mindset shifts necessary to stay relevant in a rapidly changing world. This episode offers a candid and insightful look at the current state and future of coaching, making it essential listening for coaches, leaders, and anyone interested in personal and professional growth.
