    #126: Erek Ostrowski – The Capable Group Coach: If You Want People to Learn Quickly, Create Space for Reflection
    2026/09/03

  • #125: Helen ONeill – How to Publish as a Coach, Build a Portfolio Career, and Make Your Next Step Count

    #125: Helen ONeill – How to Publish as a Coach, Build a Portfolio Career, and Make Your Next Step Count
    2026/08/06

    When five-time published author Helen ONeill entered the coaching space, she found that many coaches had misconceptions about writing and publishing. Some felt they needed permission to write their book, while others were held back by gatekeeping, snobbery and exploitative business practices.

    Her response was to set up Coach Write, the book coaching business she runs to help coaches make the choices that are right for them as they navigate their publishing journey, drawing on her expertise as an EMCC-accredited coach and a published author in a range of genres.

    The Coach Write stream of Helen’s business forms part of her portfolio career, and in this episode of The Coach’s Journey Podcast, she tells host Alex Swallow about how she spent 20 years gaining experience in recruitment, human resources and psychometrics before becoming a portfolio career and change management specialist.

    Helen helps people who want a life and a career comprised of several threads to weave them together in a way that is sustainable and nourishing, ensuring the common pitfall of burnout is avoided altogether. She speaks about the boundaries and strategies that underpin this process, and describes the many synergies between the secrets of building a thriving author business and becoming a successful coach.

    Helen is passionate about creating a space for coaches to write and publish, where they can build a truly fulfilling life of variety, challenge and achievement. In this episode she cuts through the nonsense with practical, inspirational advice for anyone seeking to make a well-chosen next step in their career.

    Helen and Alex also talk about:

    • How to structure a portfolio career to ensure your time, energy, and income are in balance


    • Setting up a no-stress side hustle that puts a bit of joy into the world

    • The “messy middle” of mid-to-senior level work and the many different paths that it can lead to

    • ‘AI vertigo’ and how to get on the front foot rather than living in fear of AI

    • How to build your online presence without draining your soul by focusing on what you love doing

    BIOGRAPHY FROM HELEN

    Helen ONeill spent 20 years leading complex change portfolios before embarking on her own successful portfolio career. Today she’s an EMCC accredited coach, five-time published author, and the founder of Coach Write, where she helps coaches write and publish books that position them as thought leaders.

    She rarely watches television, she’s rubbish at updating social media, and she tries to avoid the news as much as possible. Instead, she packs her life with experiences, achievements, and laughter, and she loves helping others do the same.

    #124: Nishe Patel – Our Coaching Clients are More Capable Than We Ever Know
    2026/07/02
    When we truly trust a client with our thinking, we can make space for them to use it in their own way. This trust is at the heart of Nishe Patel’s coaching practice, and in this episode of The Coach’s Journey Podcast she explains how occupying a space of not-knowing can pave the way to deep and genuine connections between coaches and their clients. In conversation with Alex Whitton, Nishe brings her expertise to bear on vital questions about the very nature of the curiosity that we prize so highly in coaching and how we can harness curiosity in the spirit of play, creativity and an interest in the person rather than the problem.Nishe experienced a magical moment when she first encountered coaching, and she speaks about the one question that brought her to tears when it was first asked to her within a thoughtfully held coaching framework. This magic gave her the confidence to quit her job in order to embark on several years of training that transformed her career and her life.Nishe’s training includes neuro-linguistic programming, hypnosis, and emotion-focused therapy, and she discusses the benefits of being able to integrate working with the unconscious as well as the conscious mind in her practice. Nishe also explains how taking a step back from her coaching career in order to recover from an operation produced insights into the expectations she placed on herself and her clients that would reshape her approach to her work.The rise of AI coaching and mentoring are discussed, along with the principles that underpin various modalities of practice with an ever-increasing reach and appeal.After over a decade in practice, Nishe remains hugely excited by the learning and development that coaching still has to offer her. This episode captures the unfolding nature of a coaching practice, as Nishe shares how she is still discovering new layers of meaning in her work.Nishe and Alex also talk about:How to create the conditions for a deep connection with coaching clients that goes beyond cognitive understandingStriking a balance between reassurance and challengeHow to ensure your business enables you to live the lifestyle you want to leadThe times when coaches need to disappear for their clients to own their growthHow to let go of the need to know why, in order to be with what isTHINGS WE TALKED ABOUT THAT YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN:- Master Certified Coach training from the ICF https://coachingfederation.org/credentialing/icf-credentials-overview/mcc/- NLP coach training https://nlpuktraining.com/- Cyclothymia https://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/conditions/cyclothymia/ - ADHD https://adhduk.co.uk/ - ACTP https://myactp.com/coach-certification/ - Animas https://www.animascoaching.com/- EFT (Emotion-focused therapy) https://www.priorygroup.com/our-services/types-of-therapy/emotion-focused-therapy-eft- Eric Berne and Transactional Analysis https://ericberne.com/transactional-analysis/ - Sir John Whitmore https://www.performanceconsultants.com/about-us/sir-john-whitmore/- Eriksonian hypnotherapy https://www.hypnotherapy-directory.org.uk/approach/ericksonian.html - Anise Frost https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/118-anise-frost-how-to-craft-presence-and-ask-magic-questions- Sam Isaacson https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/112-sam-isaacson-the-challenges-facing-coaching-in-the-age-of-ai- Shruti Sonthalia https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/108-shruti-sonthalia-awareness-combined-with-action-is-the-key-to-creating-changeBIOGRAPHY FROM NISHENishe is a coach, facilitator, mentor, and supervisor with a genuine passion for helping people think differently and be themselves in whatever way they choose.
