Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

297: Beyond the CV: Finding Your Soul Story with Will Johnson
Q: Could you start with a brief introduction of what you do today and a bit of backstory on how you arrived at this work?
Will describes his shift from a high-powered finance role to one-to-one coaching and leading Circles of Trust, guided by an inner sense of adventure and a commitment to helping men access inner truth and calm after burnout.
296: A Day in the Life of Françoise Olivier: Transforming the Legacy of Parental Addiction with Coaching
Q: Would you like to tell people a bit more about your coaching practice?
I coach adult children of alcoholics (ACOA) and also work across broader coaching roles, but I focus on this niche to help people understand their lived experiences and turn them into strengths.
290: Health Coaching and Lifestyle Medicine with Dr Pádraic Dunne
Q: What are the practical steps coaches can take to bring health into the coaching room without stepping outside their scope?
Coaches should identify goals, educate themselves on reputable sources, signpost to GP or dietitians when needed, co-design strategies with clients, and build a local directory of supports so they can refer out while remaining client-centered.
290: Health Coaching and Lifestyle Medicine with Dr Pádraic Dunne
Q: So are you able just to share a little bit about how you see the intersection between positive health, lifestyle medicine, and coaching?
The intersection lies in using positive health coaching as a delivery system that integrates psychology, behavior change, and medical understanding to support prevention and well-being; all three domains must have evidence backing and should be delivered in a non-directive, empowering way with signposting to clinical care when appropriate.
292: Ethics in Health and Wellbeing Coaching: A Provocative Deep Dive with Professor Aaron Jarden and Dr. Robert Biswas-Diener
Q: How should contracting address the well-being of practitioners themselves?
Core competency evolves to include coaches looking after their own physical and mental well-being, recognizing that practitioner well-being affects professionalism and capacity to help others; this becomes a formal expectation in core competencies.
