In this episode, my guest is Tamsin Hartley.  Tamsin shares her unique approach to coaching based on her training and career experience. She talks about the importance  of working to help clients move from a mindset of ‘I must’ to ‘I choose’. At the beginning of a new year, this is a helpful distinction to consider when we are making plans and resolutions for the year. 

In this episode, my guest is one of the key movers and shakers in the coaching world - Tracy Sinclair.  In the lead up to end of year celebrations, we can sometimes put ourselves under a lot of unnecessary and unfair pressure. Tracy's falling story highlights a time this happened to her and left her feeling an imposter showing that even the best of us can fall victim to a lack of self confidence.

In this episode, Dr Sam Humphrey talks about her 'codpast'. This is not a fishbowl of regression therapy, rather a slip of the tongue! Sam's guest is Claire Stibbon who has experience of working with Olympic athletes, scientists, business people and nuclear medics and she shares two wonderfully colourful stories. Claire also has the most memorable introduction line of anyone Sam has met - we hope you enjoy!

In this episode, my guest is Professor Peter Hawkins, one of the most influential people in the field of coaching and supervision. Peter’s stories focus on his team coaching work and illustrate how satisfying and dissatisfying coaching work can be – regardless of the outcome for the client!

In this episode, my guest is Dr Saiyyidah Zaidi. She is probably one of the most qualified people I know and with 6 degrees and a Doctorate, clearly loves learning! Saiyyidah’s flowing story involves that 'sweetie shop' moment we can often experience when we faced with an opportunity to apply our new learning.  

In this episode, I speak with coaching royalty - Jenny Rogers. Jenny shares an uplifting flowing story and a truly shocking falling story which will leave you questioning what you would have done if you had been in that position.* *Content warning: This episode contains discussions of suicide, listener discretion is advised

In this first episode, it seems only right that the first guest is the co-author of the book on which this podcast is based - my good friend and colleague Karen Dean. In this episode, we share how we wanted our book to land with readers and the impact we hoped it would have. Karen also shares a flowing and falling story that are not in the book. 

In this short introduction, Dr Sam Humphrey, host of Coaching Stories the podcast, explains the intention of the podcast and the format of each episode.
