Tom was delighted to have the opportunity to interview Dr Hannah Coysh, who completed our Doctors’ Transformational Coaching Diploma a couple of years ago now.

Tom thoroughly enjoyed the conversation, and you’ll understand why when you listen to the podcast and experience a taste of Hannah’s infectious enthusiasm for life.

Hannah is a Frailty GP, A Lifestyle Medic and Coach, a New to GP Coach and Mentor, a Medical Student Tutor, and also offers coaching to those experiencing pregnancy loss, holding a safe space for them and helping them to find a way to move forward. Hannah manages to incorporate coaching into all aspects of her professional life.

Hannah is also the person who introduced us to the world of Lifestyle Medicine and suggested that we share our coaching offering with doctors operating within that arena.

Tom caught up with Hannah to find out about her journey into the world of lifestyle medicine and coaching, and her current approach to coaching. Tom asked Hannah about her favourite coaching tools and questions and what learning to coach has given her.

Hannah also talks about her passion for the outdoors and her enthusiasm for an activity that Tom was happy to leave her to enjoy without him.

Do You Have a Question?

From time to time we will have an episode where we answer listeners’ questions about coaching.

We often get asked how doctors use their new coaching skills once they’ve completed our Transformational Coaching Diploma programme.

This is obviously a question that our coaching doctors have the opportunity to explore for themselves in advance, of completing the programme, as they receive coaching throughout the course. There is plenty of time for them to consider what the future holds for them and what direction they might go in.

With over 300 doctors having completed our diploma we have a good range of coaching doctors who have let us know what they are up to.

In this episode we explore how some of our alumni are using coaching in their professional lives. We hope that the episode may inspire you, encourage you and reaffirm your interest in learning to coach.

Episode 114: Challenges in Coaching: When is a law not a law?

Is a certain amount of stress good for you?

Definitely!

Is there a point at which the amount of stress becomes detrimental?

Most certainly!

Is there a law, a model, or a formula that tells us how much stress is too much?

Contrary to popular opinion, probably not!

In this episode Tom airs his frustrations about an often rolled out piece of research called the ‘Yerkes-Dodson Law’. We discuss the law’s origins, what Yerkes and Dodson were actually measuring and how the law has become a universal measure for all sorts of theories.

As we often say, all models are wrong but some are useful. When it comes to the Yerkes-Dodson Law, we may well be exploring a law that doesn’t actually exist.
