A Listening Life

Yannick Jacob is an Existential Life and Leadership Coach (MA), a Positive Psychologist (MSc), a Coach Trainer & Supervisor (DIP) and a Mediator (SPCP Dispute Resolution). He’s the Program Director of the Accredited Certificate in Integrative Coaching (ACIC) at the School of Positive Transformation (for which he’s gathered many of the world’s most influential coaches and pioneers) and he was the Programme Leader of the MSc Coaching Psychology at the University of East London (2015-18). Yannick is part of the teaching faculties at The School of Life, Animas Centre for Coaching and the International Centre for Coaching Supervision. His love for coaching, positive existential philosophy and personal development is contagious and he loves to challenge people to think, learn & grow, to explore the BIG questions and to appreciate the whole spectrum of what life has to offer.

It’s my great good fortune to have chance to chat to Yannick about his commercial journey in building his coaching practice. I’d love a whole second episode about the actual WORK of existential coaching, but for now, I’m grateful to be able to share this episode with you to enjoy.

Thank you so much Yannick and welcome to returning and new listeners. You can connect with Yannick here:

We’re excited to launch season two with an episode with the unique Catherine Stagg-Macey.

Catherine is an Executive and Team Coach like no other. Holding a line between a heavy hitting woman in tech with all the credentials and smarts – and a colourful creative force of nature who you may find working as a DJ and dance facilitator with 5 Rhythms. Kermit the Frog lives in her house and is sometimes part of her coaching conversations, while at the same time she’s a Coach I’d trust to walk in with me to the most fiery and scary senior lead team conversations where experience, poise and gravitas are the only way.

She shares practical real-life tools and ideas to help you move into freelance work from the big job. Something she did with plenty of wobbles and moments of exhaustion - but wow, is she flying now.

A natural stroy-teller, you can also find Catherine's own podcast Unsaid At Work - link below. Here she describes herself as the Wing Woman to midcareer leaders who are losing their mojo.

I’ve been extremely fortunate to travel along with Catherine, originally as my Coach Supervisor and now peer, thinking partner and friend. Catherine was the first coach I remember who was really able to navigate that challenging path between leadership coaching & therapeutic coaching in the same breath. She helped me to keep my wheels on, in a professional context as I negotiated personal loss while in a leadership role. A reminder of the massive impact of great coaching and supervision.

Since then, I’ve watched and listened as she’s evolved into next level Catherine – a digital presence, a podcast, writer of a regular hilarious newletter. This is a tiny dip into her amazing pool of wisdom as she shares some of her lessons learned and reflections that could be really useful to us all now as we build a coaching business. She’s open about the mistakes made in building her coaching business as well as some ways to make real progress commercially.

A welcome to the podcast from creator Aly King-Smith who describes why she felt compelled to create A Listening Life, as she heads into her fifties, and her ninth year of self-employment. Time to start passing it on.

If you’re feeling worn out building your coaching business, or you’re starting to think you should return to employment, this podcast was created just for you.

Many coaches enjoy helping more than they like selling. Making friends with some of the skills of ethical selling, marketing and account development can feel like a big stretch.

Aly King-Smith is an Executive Coach and finally, a successful business owner with a background in sales. After many years of scrambling to find the confidence and skills to build a coaching business that is commercially sound, she's finally enjoying the process having learned some lessons along the way, that may be helpful to others.

In this podcast she invites successful peers, colleagues, friends and competitors to spill the beans on their top tips to a sustainable income from coaching.

Please follow the show - we hope you really find lots of gems and helpful tips to run your coaching practice.

Welcome to the final episode of A Listening Life for the time being.

This is my conversation with the awesome Annie Lee. A Coach, a supervisor and a tutor of coaches, I’ve enjoyed watching Annie step out of her successful corporate safety into a shining example of heart and purpose-led business building in running her coaching consultancy and also her business Nature’s blueprint.

Annie seems to become more whole, more colourful and more clear on what’s she here to do, with every year that goes by.

I loved this conversation about how to embrace and design your unique stance in the coaching world, whether some may call that niching or some may call it an approach.

I hope you really enjoy this final episode for now as I head off to build my own coaching stance as I head back to university for my own next chapter of stepping into my heart-led future on purpose. Thank you for listening so far, and see you in the next chapter, however that may look.
