Nicholas Brice - The Business Soulman

These illuminating bite-sized articles explore the idea that delivering quality coaching requires coaches to address their development holistically and put the 'Personal' into Professional Development (CPPD). Julia Carden PhD, PCC, FCIPD and Dr Elizabeth Crosses' research highlighted that "the route to deep client connection, which enables coaches to work at a level of insight and change, comes from the work on self and self-awareness", asking us to consider how learning and development choices might enhance how we are being rather than what we are doing as a coach. They offer the following questions as points of reflection when planning your CPPD:  + What is the purpose of my development (for me, my clients and the systems we live and work in)?  + What is the difference I want to make? + What am I curious about? + What does my soul need? + What is my body telling me that I need to pay attention to? #selfcompassion #selfreflection #selfconnection #selfawareness #coachdevelopment #bestpractice #coachingsupervision

Team collaboration is at the heart of modern organisations... and the big change is moving from organisations where governance is based on mistrust. Our panel comes with various exciting experiences and novel views. It's going to be a fascinating conversation about bringing Coaching Cultures into everyday situations and everyday relationships with a view to boost team collaboration and build modern organisations.

It’s always interesting what comes out of the Listening Partnerships with Rebecca Daniel (ICF PCC, EMCC Snr Practitioner, ESIA) and Sarah Bramall PCC, Senior Prac EMCC, and last week was no different. I posted recently about aligning my services and pricing with my values, but realised I missed out a big one: comfort! Comfort is a massive deal for me - not just in business, but in life. I’m all about pyjama days, fluffy slippers, and prioritising comfort over fashion (though I’m sure I could have both if I dedicated some time to it). I’ve dealt with eczema for years, and leaving clinical nursing where I was often dehydrated, constantly handwashing, and eating erratically, did wonders for my skin. But since the birth of my kids, I’ve developed psoriasis, and that brings a whole new level of discomfort. I’ve thrown emollients, steroids, vitamins and all sorts of weird and wonderful things at it over the past six years and it has been frustrating. But last Friday was the final straw: I realised I needed to change something significantly when showering made me cry. I was in so much pain and I needed to take back some control. I made a drastic decision and decided to reset. I decided to cut out some of the things reported to be linked to flare-ups: caffeine, added sugar, and alcohol. Just for a week. It was harder than I expected. I don’t drink much alcohol, but cutting out 3–4 cups of sweet coffee a day hit me like a tonne of bricks: headaches, muscle pain, exhaustion. My body screamed for caffeine, and I felt ridiculous. How did I let myself get so dependent on something that my body rebelled without it? I’d be lying if I said I don’t feel a bit embarrassed! Here’s the thing though – as you all probably guessed, my psoriasis improved drastically in just five days. So now I need to work out my priorities: keep up the caffeine or slowly reintroduce it and see what happens? I’ll work it out, but what struck me was that constant cycle of frustration and discomfort led me to just keep adding things to my body and lifestyle in a hope that the combination would make things better; sometimes all we need is to just go back to basics. My body craved comfort, fought back when I removed what I thought was comforting it, but is now healing and feeling so much better. What tells you you’re missing something vital? How do you reset to focus on getting to the source of the problem? ________________________________________ 👋 I’m Kat, and I’m here to help.

The Easter holidays are over, the kids are back at school and I’d love to share my new business venture with you! I’m excited to say that I recently qualified as a Mindset, Personal Development and Performance Coach with the ICF accredited Animas Centre for Coaching. I also have a level II qualification in Understanding Autism. I will be running this business part-time alongside my company Green Fairy Productions. As both a performer and business owner, I understand only too well the pressures of the music and entertainment industries. When you’re battling self-doubt from setbacks or criticisms, compounded by funding cuts, huge competition, and the uncertainties of self-employment, it can be overwhelming. I am speaking from personal experience, so you are not alone in feeling frustrated and fearful. It doesn't have to be this way! My love of coaching began over 10 years ago when I had some coaching sessions myself. They helped me move forwards in my life in ways I couldn’t have imagined, and I developed a positive mindset that is now deep-rooted within me. I feel really privileged, and passionate about helping other people to experience this for themselves. Although I specialise in the music and entertainment industries, many of my clients come from sectors including events, education, banking and HR. Clients have come to me because of: - A lack of confidence and self-belief that is holding them back. - They feel ‘stuck’ and have no idea how to move forwards. - They have too many thoughts going round their head and have no idea what to do with them all. - They are going through some major life changes. - They want to get a healthy work-life balance - They struggle with organisation. - They feel lost amidst the challenges of being a working Mum. - They want to feel more than good enough. Until 31st July, I will be offering reduced priced sessions, so if you’d like to find out more, I’d love to hear from you. There is absolutely no pressure to book. "Jo is an extraordinarily good coach - she really listened to me, was very patient and asked questions that helped me let go of my internal critic and really see my situation in a new way; I had some incredibly powerful light bulb moments! Jo made me feel safe, supported and empowered to take control of my life and really embrace it. I’d 100% recommend her. I’m actively looking forward to my next session with her." NG Have a lovely week 😊 Jo [email protected] www.joallencoaching.com #mindsetcoach #performancecoach #personaldevelopmentcoach #musicindustry #entertainmentindustry #eventsindustry

We're noticing a trend at The MTPT Project at the moment: Our work for our grassroots community of parent-teachers - coaching programmes, return to work workshops, INSET sessions, online and in-person networking opportunities - has never been more popular. Parent-teachers in our schools are crying out for concrete strategies and a supportive community to help them balance the different aspects of their whole selves. But our work with leaders? Well, that's quieter. Leaders are too busy. They have other priorities. The "motherhood penalty" isn't their problem, and the connection between one of their most pressing issues - recruitment and retention - is less clear. This is problematic. We can empower teachers through coaching. We can connect them with inspirational role models. We can tell them their rights and be there to support them when things get tough. But if the schools they return to after maternity, adoption or shared parental leave don't think that creating "life friendly" working conditions is a pressing and urgent priority, we are essentially taking these colleagues to the cliff edge, ready to soar, but delivering them to an inhospitable abyss where stagnation, burnout and attrition result. Unfortunately, the retention of our experienced mid-career teachers - 67% of whom are mothers - is a complex issue to tackle. If you're happy to re-share, to applaud, to like, that's a small and powerful act for our community. But, as a leader, are you ready to listen, to learn, to do? If you're ready to do the work and make a real difference to the culture of your schools and the retention of your staff, join The MTPT Project on our Life Friendly Leadership programme this April:

What’s the real value of a mentor? In this video, Ruth Gotian, Ed.D., M.S. and I, along with other extraordinary individuals (Dr Kirstin Ferguson AM , Peter Brown MBE, Sally Helgesen, Samantha Hiew, PhD and Jonathan Low Global Speaking Fellow, CSP, ICF MCC), share how our mentors made a significant difference at crucial points in our careers. Whether it’s the six words that changed Ruth’s direction or the brave feedback that helped me rewrite Just Ask, mentors don’t just offer advice—they reflect what’s really going on and challenge us to grow. A good mentor provides invaluable support, whether it’s career advice, personal encouragement, or even tough love. These relationships matter at every stage, not just early on. Watch to learn how mentoring can be a lifelong source of guidance. Find out more in https://lnkd.in/ezW6qVWW   #Mentoring #Leadership #CareerSuccess

In my group coaching programme (currently called the Impact Coach Collective), this month our masterclass was all about assessments. We talked about: 🔑 types of assessments 🔑 the first three assessments I think you should prioritise 🔑 what is important when it comes to certification/training 🔑 different ways to use an assessment (commercialisation) and 🔑 approaches to debriefing. For my own benefit I put together this slide of types of assessments but I'd like to add to it. What are your favourites? What categories do you think about when it comes to assessments? What would you add?
