Listen to Esmee who shares how her family circumstance meant that she became an advocate for change which resulted in working as a campaigner for a number of national and international organisations. Knowing that campaigners can have a lot of energy for the external factors they are trying to influence, she realised from her experience that they needed support internally as well.
So in 2018 Esmee transitioned into coaching, and trained as a professional life coach which enables her to work with individuals especially those as 'change makers' on a 1-2-1 basis to take the time to learn about their selves and understand what they need to show up as their authentic self and to remove the barriers which stop them performing at their best.

Listen to Teresa who shares her story how on reflection saw the signals to why she became a coach. One of them was that she always wanted to go first in any situation whether school or sport or work, now she is competitive but it came from a deeper level. She explains that she didn't like to have other people's examples as a deterrent from what she would try to do. She would like to go and get that immediate feedback from the teacher, the coach, the parent, the whomever was the one in charge of whatever they were doing and that theme has followed her entire life. This is really insightful and shows her deep level of self-awareness, such an important aspect of being a coach.
She builds Emotionally Intelligent Organisations because she is an advocate for emotionally intelligent leadership that paves the way for organisations that are human first, human centered, human focused. It is only when we can manage the whole of our humanity that we can tap into the excellence that exists within each of us.

Listen to Ayesha tell her story of how she decided to take an opportunity to go from a marketing career to a executive coach and in fact her passion all her life was with helping people unlock their potential anyway.
She has a passion for working parents, those trying to be the best they can be at work and home, but feeling like they never get the balance right?
Her story is that she felt like that for years, and still does as I don't think parental guilt ever goes away! I had a successful career, but was always spinning plates, and smashing a few along the way. I believed I couldn't take a leap of faith and try something different in case I failed. Then I decided to roll my sleeves up, face up to those fears and push aside the beliefs that were holding me back. Yes, it was scary, but I can now proudly say that I was true to myself, true to my passions, and I'm more fulfilled and happy as a result.

These included changing processes and systems but I was more intrigued by the human aspect and always aimed to balance the project delivery with what I valued; the development, personal growth and well-being of others.
Her vision now is to inspire professionals to create a culture of coaching and my mission is to motivate and empower others to discover their potential and inspire them to pass it on to others.
And her purpose is to be a catalyst for change, something she has been doing all her life.

In his own words:
In 2006 I collapsed. Shortly afterwards I was told that I had only two weeks to live.
Over ten years later I am still here, not only surviving but thriving!
I’m Roland Chesters, founder of Luminate, and I live with HIV and dyspraxia, a neurological disability as a result of progressive multifocal leukoencephalytis, which was my AIDS-defining illness. There was a time when I saw no future for myself, I was at rock bottom and I thought I was going to die. But through sheer grit, determination and a fierce desire to live I went against the odds to go on to live a happy and fulfilling life.

Lucinda is a warm and perceptive Coach, whose interest in encouraging people to develop themselves and learn, both in and out of the workplace, has been honed during a 30-year career as a senior leader, during which she held a range of transformational, strategic and high-level fundraising roles across the charity sector.
She describes her coaching approach as gentle, courageous and curious, and I would echo this with our conversation we had on how she became a coach and her passion for people and especially working with women.

Some of the key measures were put in place, especially the phone system, where Kajal and her team had to do numerous diagnosis without seeing the patient face to face, very challenging. However the phone system is now something that will continue going forward, which has become a positive for those who find it difficult to take time of work for an initial GP appointment. Kajal in all of this had to manage a family, along with childcare and the challenges that brings within the health service.

Back in the summer of 2019, a chance meeting at a training event run by the Coaching Academy, found us both eating lunch on a table together.
It’s one of the best things to come out of days like this. A bonus on top of the event itself! Finding like-minded people with whom you immediately form a connection and with whom there is a very obvious synergy.
Since that event, we have kept in contact, followed one another’s progress and observed that there is more than just casual congruence between Leadership and Well-being. In fact in discussions about our individual approach and ethos, we have found much common ground.
So much so that we started to observe areas of interest that we would like to pass on; to both open up the conversations on coaching, and to validate the concept itself.
Coaching is often misinterpreted and indeed, with the market swamped by those both unqualified and qualified, it can get some bad press which lowers the reputation of the invaluable work we do.
Excited by our own exploration in to who we are and why we do what we do, we both wanted to offer a platform for other fellow coaches for whom we both have immense personal respect, to do the same.
The result….Coaching Conversations.
This is the very first episode where Carey & Julian share their own story of why and how they became a coach, and how the coaching conversations podcast started.
