Signal + Noise: Five things coaches can stop paying attention to

Anyone exhausted from the never-ending conveyor belt of advice about what coaches should be doing?!  Start a Substack. Build a funnel. Use this *one magical caoching tool*. I reckon instead of asking: “What else should I be doing?” we should start thinking about what it's safe to stop paying attention to. In this episode, I’m exploring five seductive distractions that can pull thoughtful coaches away from the work that actually matters, and how to tell the signal from the noise in your business and your coaching. Mentioned in this ep: 🌼 Beyond the Story is my free masterclass all about how to coach at the level where lasting change becomes possible.

How to get brilliant at playing the business game

I'm sharing the five questions I come back to whenever my own business feels wobbly, or when I'm supporting coaches inside Ripen. They're not quick fixes or growth hacks. They're the questions that help you understand what's actually happening in your business, so you can stop catastrophising, start paying attention, and focus your energy where it will make the biggest difference. Whether you're just getting started or you've been coaching for years, I hope this episode reminds you that building a business isn't about finding certainty. It's about becoming more adaptable. You don't need to have it all figured out. You just need to keep asking better questions. *** Apply now for Ripen www.saspetherick.com/ripen [https://www.saspetherick.com/ripen/]  Join The Coaching Well for Group Supervision here [https://www.saspetherick.com/coaching-well/] Self-belief Coaching Academy will open later this year - register your interest.

Coaching & AI: What you need to know with Nivek Harrison

Everyone's talking about using AI to create more content and we think that's the least interesting way to use it! In this episode, Nivek Harrison joins me to explore why AI doesn't have to make your coaching practice feel less human.  We talk about where it can genuinely save you time, where it absolutely can never replace you, and how to use it without handing over your judgment, creativity or values. Three reasons to listen: * Forget churning out soulless content - AI can become an extra member of your team. * Learn why your coaching is becoming more valuable, not less.  * And of course we talk about some of the ethical questions: the hype, the built-in bias, and the weirdass hallucinations, so you can make thoughtful decisions about where AI might support you (or not).

BONUS: The Body Stories 6 - This is the body I was always meant to have

Content note: This episode includes discussions around intentional weight loss and diet culture, and therefore contains swearing. This episode is part of a podcast series: The Body Stories. I’m joined by my beloved friend and fellow coach, Ali Shapiro. Over the year, Ali and I have been engaged in an occasional and ongoing conversation about the nuanced relationship with our bodies. These are tender conversations, and at times, I will be in the coaching client seat. We hope that listening in will spark your own exploration of your body story. -  In this sixth and final episode, we chat about the identity level changes that long-term consistent devotion to health has led to: the massive increase in possibility and potential, having a deeper sense of physical presence, the fun of shopping for clothes, and enjoying dates. As well as the vulnerability of having nowhere to hide, the grief and the dysmorphia.  Resources for you: Meet Ali Shapiro [https://alishapiro.com/].

Here's why you should do a TEDx Talk: behind the scenes of mine + moving countries + a month of mega-growth

What happens when you give a TEDx talk, pack up your life, leave one country, return to another, and try to hold the grief, gratitude, excitement and sheer logistical chaos of all of it?? This episode (200th!!) is a thoroughly gossipy catch-up behind the scenes of the biggest month I can remember. The complicated idea of "home," the unexpected things that happen when you put your hand up for opportunities that are a bit bum-squeeky scary. *** Apply now for Ripen www.saspetherick.com/ripen [https://www.saspetherick.com/ripen/]  Join The Coaching Well for Group Supervision here [https://www.saspetherick.com/coaching-well/] Self-belief Coaching Academy will open later this year - register your interest.
