The CoachCast

Expectations - The Weight of Shoulds

In this episode, we’re pulling on a thread that quietly runs through almost every coaching conversation: expectations. “I should have figured this out by now.” “My client should be making faster progress.” “A good coach should always have the right question.” These “shoulds” don’t motivate. They judge. Left unexamined, they create pressure and shame for both the client and the coach. Whether you’re a coach feeling the pressure to perform, or you work with clients who carry invisible scripts about who they’re supposed to be – this episode is an invitation to breathe, reflect, and reclaim the spaciousness that real coaching requires.

Coaching in the Corporate Workplace

Most corporate feedback trains people to comply. Coaching trains them to think. In this podcast, we explore the shift from commanding to curious, what happens when leaders stop giving answers and start asking the right questions. Discover how coaching cultures build resilience, unlock potential, and transform how work gets done. If you’re ready to replace crisis management with real growth, tune in.

Leadership Isn’t a Solo Sport

Leadership is often portrayed as a lone journey, a figure at the top making decisions, carrying responsibility, and forging the path ahead. But in reality, leadership is far from a solo sport. In this episode, we explore the relational nature of leadership with Leadership and Team Coach, Mitra Gholam. We discuss how influence, trust, and collaboration shape effective leaders far more than authority alone. You’ll discover why the most impactful leaders don’t operate in isolation but instead cultivate strong teams, invite diverse perspectives, and create environments where others can thrive. Most of which begins with coaching.

Beyond Performance: Coaching, Counselling, and Wellbeing

Where does coaching end and counselling begin? In this reflective episode, we explore the space where the two meet, and the important differences between them. Moving beyond polished success stories, this conversation leans into the real, often messy, human side of change. Together with special guest Jenny Campos, we discuss how both approaches can support mental health, identity, and meaningful life and career decisions. We explore when goals are useful, when emotions need deeper attention, and why supporting the whole person matters far more than simply optimising performance.

When Coaching Feels Personal

In Episode 1 of Season 2 of The CoachCast, we explore what happens when coaching starts to feel personal. As coaches, it’s inevitable that certain conversations, client stories, or dynamics will resonate on a deeper level. But how do we navigate this without losing objectivity or crossing professional boundaries? In this episode, we unpack the signs, challenges, and practical strategies for managing personal triggers, maintaining presence, and staying ethically grounded in your coaching practice.
