Every coach has probably been there at some point in their coaching practice. The client wanders, the session drifts and perhaps neither the coach or partner is quite sure why that happened or how to manage those uncomfortable conversations. Jeanine Bailey and Marie Quigley focus on those times in a coaching session when a client loses their way and the coach can perhaps see it happening, but not sure how to manage it. Here's the uncomfortable truth: when a client is confused or quietly anxious, it can lie with the coach's ability to hold the process. Practical, honest and occasionally a little confronting - in the very best way.

For every $1 an organisation invests in employee wellbeing, the return is almost $5. Yet most organisations are still trying to fix one of the most costly challenges in the modern workplace with simple initiatives like a yoga class and a bowl of free fruit - which are healthy initiatives, but not enough. Nicola Spencer-Perera - a professional coach, burnout specialist and founder of Reset Wellness spent 27 years in fast-paced global corporate communications before burnout changed everything. In this podcast, she shares the signs your team is quietly going under, why wellbeing initiatives fail without genuine leadership buy-in, and what does works. If you lead people or simply want to take better care of yourself in a world that glorifies being busy - this conversation is for you.

Most coaches hear their client's words. Very few hear what those words are actually doing. In this episode, Jeanine Bailey is joined by Lyssa deHart MCC - author of Light Up: The Science of Coaching with Metaphors - where Lyssa reveals why metaphors are not decoration in a coaching conversation but idea containers - each one lighting up the brain and revealing the landscape of a client's inner world in a way no other language can. And here is what stands out: a metaphor is a shared experience. When a coach truly hears one, two people can inhabit the same moment of understanding simultaneously. That is connection at its deepest - and it is available in every coaching conversation, if you know how to listen for it.
