Stay With The Question: Coaching, Identity & Self-Limiting Beliefs

Stay With The Question: Coaching, Identity & Self-Limiting Beliefs

What question are you avoiding? In Episode 57 of Muhami Matters, Chris Adams speaks with Joel Arcus of FalconBridge Partners about coaching, identity, self-limiting beliefs and the power of staying with the right question. Joel’s work through Stay With The Question explores how professionals can move beyond instinctive reactions, recognise the stories they tell themselves, and create enough calm to respond with clarity rather than fear. In this conversation, Chris and Joel discuss why quick answers are not always the answer, how self-limiting beliefs show up in professional life, why authenticity matters, and how coaching can help people identify the questions that may unlock deeper reflection and meaningful change.   This episode is particularly relevant for lawyers, founders, advisors, coaches, consultants and professional services leaders who want to understand the internal barriers that shape confidence, decision-making, leadership and growth.

Yin & Yang in Professional Life

What happens when professional success looks strong on the outside, but feels misaligned on the inside? In this episode of Muhami Matters, Chris Adams speaks with Anna Thiel, MENtor to MEN, about the pressures many professionals carry beneath the surface. Anna works primarily with men, helping them reconnect with who they are underneath the roles they carry. In this conversation, Chris and Anna explore the pressure to provide, lead, perform, build and keep going, while also trying to remain present at home and connected to a deeper sense of purpose. The episode covers professional identity, leadership, relationships, emotional safety, burnout, fulfilment and the idea of yin and yang as a practical lens for understanding structure, flow, drive, presence and balance in professional life. For lawyers, consultants, founders, partners, senior professionals and business leaders, this is a conversation about more than performance. It is about the hidden cost of success, the pressure of responsibility and the importance of self-awareness, honesty and alignment.

Business Owners Don’t Need More Ideas, They Need Better Decisions

Business owners are often told they need more ideas, more opportunities, more content and more activity. But what if they actually need better decisions? In this episode of Muhami Matters, Chris Adams speaks with Dave Christie, founder of Flourish Foundry, about founder pressure, business growth, decision-making, accountability and why professional services leaders need to reduce noise rather than add to it. Dave shares practical insights on why business owners struggle to step back, how better habits support better execution, why asking for help is not weakness, and why coaches, advisors and consultants should help clients build capability rather than dependency. The conversation also explores mental health, leadership pressure and how founders can recognise when normal business stress is becoming something more serious.
