Join Lin Tan and Money FM (89.3) DJ Elliot Danker in this dynamic radio interview! The duo discusses mental health at the workplace, and Elliot leverages Lin's coaching experience to gain insights on how we can break the taboo in addressing this topic.  In 2023, CCI took on championing mental health and wellness, and we were glad that our efforts were supported by several media who recognized the role coaches play in this movement. This podcast episode is a replay of a LIVE radio interview where Elliot Danker discusses with Lin what (still) causes walls in the workplace when it comes to talking about mental health. * Why this taboo is still happening when leaders are trained in EQ and communication? * How do you recognize when mental health 'issues' are being taken advantage of? * What can we do to start normalizing the mental health topic in organizations? * What can I do as a leader, as an individual? * How a parent could start normalizing discussions on mental health on the homefront? * What is your advice to the individual struggling with mental health right now? As coaches, we are in a position to support individuals in ensuring work-life balance, fulfillment, and self-care. We hope you enjoyed this episode.

Welcome to The Alumni Adventure Series! In this series, we interview individuals who have undergone training in coaching skills with us, to find out their juicy stories of how opportunities and social impact have resulted from their time and money invested in learning coaching skills.  You'll be amazed at the shifts that take place simply out of stepping powerfully into the world with a coaching mindset, tools and skills. Many coaches are inspired to set up their own coaching practice, but wonder where to start, and are faced with internal barriers when it comes to putting themselves out there and selling their services. This is why we were inspired to bring Andrea to the podcast show to showcase that it IS doable to build and establish your place in the profession!

She has an immense passion for providing our youth with essential life skills so that they can flourish to be amazing, resilient, and confident adults. Let's dig in! We talk about... * How she decided on her niche (thanks to her PCD peer coach!) * What was the primary shift in mindset that took that to take place for to shift from a generic life coach to specifically a kid's life coach * How much does she share with the sponsors (the parents)? * A success case where she caused a change in the coachee (a PSLE student) * Her 60-40% breakdown of business vs coaching * Were there moments in her business she felt defeated? * A significant moment in the solopreneur journey * How she has grown as an coach-preneur The only way we can create the impact that we dream of, is when we start putting ourselves out there.
