Coffee & Coaching - All things Maria Maria

Welcome back and here we are on Episode 1 of Season 3! In this episode, Alex and Jen welcome guest Maria Olivares, a former coachee (client) of Alex. We created space for Maria to open up about her coaching journey to share with listeners a perspective of coaching from someone who has been coached. She discusses how she felt before, during and after coaching, as well as the key elements someone might want to consider before embarking on coaching.  The discussion is candid and at times remarkably moving. A huge thank you to Maria for sharing her insights, thoughts and feelings. We hope it is of great value to those thinking about embarking on getting a coach and is in keeping with those who have also had extremely positive outcomes from coaching. If you have any questions or queries or would like to get involved in the conversation, then me, Jen and of course Alex are here to help. Please do get in touch, we’d love to hear from you.

Coffee & Coaching - All things questions to us

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 10, our final episode of season 2. In this episode, Alex and Jen respond to questions from listeners, clients, and friends. It’s a rather spontaneous discussion with Jen and Alex on the flip side of coaching, they’re answering questions rather than asking them. They discuss the pros and cons of perfectionism and its role in our society, how they think coaching would have impacted them if they had invested in it at a younger age, how to navigate uncertainty when you’re just trying to figure out what to do and where to go in life and last but not least their top tips for being more patient (mostly with yourselves). Thank you to everyone who submitted a question and a huge thank you to our small cohort of, but loyal supportive listeners who enjoy and engage with our conversations. This is our labour of love and a joyful part of our own personal and professional development. If you have any questions or queries or would like to get involved in the conversation, then Jen and Alex are here to help. Please do get in touch, but for now, we’re taking a break and will be back in the Autumn. For now… Welcome to coffee and coaching, (other hot drinks are available) so grab one, sit back and listen.

Coffee and Coaching - All things ego

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 9. In this episode, Alex and Jen chat all things ego. From the origins through Freud and his psychosexual theory to how we talk about egos today, they discuss all aspects in between. Alex and Jen pick it apart, look at its definition and language used to describe it, why it’s such a fascinating topic in coaching, how coaches are taught to become aware of it in both themselves and their clients and how you, the listener needn’t view the ego as a negative aspect of yourself, but a tool for feedback. As ever, they add some top tips in just how to do that.   If you have any questions or queries or would like to get involved in the conversation, then Jen and Alex are here to help. Please do get in touch. Welcome to coffee and coaching, (other hot drinks are available) so grab one, sit back and listen.

Coffee and Coaching - All things change

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 8. In this episode, Alex and Jen chat all things change. Change is something we all face in life at various stages and how we cope with, think about, and navigate change can affect the journey and outcome. So, like all the other topics, Jen and Alex pick it apart, look at its definition and types, how they navigate change, how it shows up in coaching sessions, what change means to them and their clients and of course, top tips on how to welcome, deal with and feel empowered through change. If you’re feeling overwhelmed with change, this one’s for you. If you have any questions or queries or would like to get involved in the conversation, then Jen and Alex are here to help.
