Re-imagining Leadership
Oasis Podcasts
09/22/20 • 44 min
Claire Maxwell is Chair of the GRLI (Globally Responsible Leadership Initiative) and has worked extensively to help people become responsible, courageous leaders in a wide variety of different contexts around the world.
Experience has been Claire’s dearest teacher, along with the ancient Greek aphorism “know thyself”, including a willingness to dive into the more shadowy elements of the self.
In this conversation, she explores what leadership needs to look like during very uncertain times, the sort of attributes and skills leaders need and how to create an environment where these skills can be developed and valued.

Creating meaning after work
in conversation with David Dawson & Matt Walsh
In this episode, you’ll hear Glyn Fussell in conversation with Oasis Associates David Dawson & Matt Walsh as they discuss creating meaning after work once you grow older, stop working reach “a certain age” and transition into a new phase of life.
Both David and Matt had challenging and successful careers in leadership in the NHS, and are now both working as coaches and consultants. Their experiences of the ending of their former careers have made both of them passionate about supporting others reaching that stage.
We explore the idea of what retirement looks like today and how this differs from years gone by, as well as the upheavals and challenges of stopping working in an arena you have been involved with for a long time. And we discuss how coaching can really help to create a trusted space to help navigate through a period which for some appears as a final stop whereas for others it is a welcome blessing.

Coaching through grief and loss
Oasis Podcasts
08/10/21 • 28 min
Grief and loss are part of everyday life. We all know that. But over the last year, perhaps more than ever before, our sense of loss and grieving for “normal life” has been in evidence due to COVID. Coaching and Executive Development has been very much in demand, as we try to navigate our way through our heightened sense of loss and grieving. As a coach, this is a landscape that can be tricky to handle.
In this episode, entitled “Coaching through grief and loss,” you’ll hear Oasis Co-Director Glyn Fussell reflecting on his experience of coaching clients through periods of grieving and sadness, how to still be of service to the client as their coach, and the need to take care of yourself in the process.
Neurodiversity in coaching
Oasis Podcasts
01/12/24 • 42 min
In this episode, you’ll hear Glyn Fussell in conversation with Anna Jaques as they discuss neurodiversity in coaching.
Anna is People & Change Director for Bettys, part of the Bettys and Taylors Group.
Neurodiversity is a hot topic in the news of late, highlighted by celebrity diagnoses and more recognition and acceptance in general. However, there is quite a bit of mis-reporting and mis-understanding about what neurodiversity actually means.
We explore what neurodiversity is, how it is perceived, how it relates to the way people see the world around them, and what it means to be neurodiverse aware as a coach. We also touch on why our whole person coaching approach is really suited to working with neurodiverse clients when coaching.

The art of challenging conversations
Oasis Podcasts
03/15/21 • 45 min
Challenging or difficult conversations are not something that most of us relish. Generally, none of us like conflict with others, and we tend to put off the challenging discussion that we might need. But what if we were able to say exactly what we need to say, clearly and straightforwardly to another person without destroying our relationship with them? However hard that may feel, there are ways of making it more manageable for yourself and more effective in creating the best solution in the long run.
In this episode, “The art of challenging conversations” you’ll hear coach, facilitator and focused mindfulness practitioner Jane Bytheway in conversation with Oasis Co-Director, Glyn Fussell discussing what can help and how to approach more challenging conversations in ways that really work.
Deep Ecology
Oasis Podcasts
07/11/24 • 27 min
In this episode, you’ll hear Glyn Fussell in conversation with Oasis Associate, practitioner, coach, writer and activist Gill Coombs as they discuss Deep Ecology. What is Deep Ecology? Gill suggests that as we have evolved, our rational minds have taken over, with a tendency to dominate over the natural world causing an imbalance of power. Deep Ecology is a way of recognising the harm we have done to our relationship with other living beings and to begin the process of healing it.
We explore how the world of work has evolved and changed over time, along with Gill’s thoughts on essential, wise principles by which individuals and organisations can work towards creating and nurturing a healthy world in their own authentic way.
We also discuss how we can bring Deep Ecology into coaching. This could be as simple as bringing in external elements of nature to our coaching space, or going for a walk with someone outside rather than simply sitting facing. Both of these can add a vibrancy and healthy shift in the relationship between coach and coachee.

The book Gill highly recommends starting with is old(ish) but good: Spiritual Ecology, edited by Llewellyn Vaughn Lee.
Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer is also excellent, and From What Is to What If, by Rob Hopkins, and The Nature of Business by Giles Hutchins. Also Manda Scott’s podcast Accidental Gods is superb.
And Gill’s own book Hearing our Calling.
Also Bill Plotkin’s Wild Mind, as some listeners may well be interested in eco psychology, the people practitioners’ facet of Deep Ecology.
The Oasis Seven Stage Model Audiobook
Oasis Podcasts
10/19/23 • 40 min

01 Inclusion, Diversity and Belonging in Coaching
Oasis Podcasts
05/24/23 • 51 min
Diversity and inclusion are hot topics, and can unleash powerful emotions and deep rooted beliefs. Both are challenging concepts, and it can be difficult to know where to begin: what to call someone; how to phrase something; what is acceptable and what is not; fear of causing offence.
It’s an ever changing landscape, and can be tricky territory as a coach. So knowing how to help both ourselves and our clients find ways through is key. All with a view to understanding where we belong, and how we fit in.
In this episode, you’ll hear coach, consultant and Performance Psychology Practitioner Mo Ford and Glyn Fussell, Oasis Co-Director, discussing the concepts of inclusion, diversity and belonging in coaching.
Mo’s passion for equalities work puts her in the ideal position to be able to offer steps to help navigate through the language and labels associated with identity, power dynamics and reflect on where to begin with all of this as a coach.

Leader as Coach
Oasis Podcasts
03/10/21 • 42 min
We are working In an age where old models of leadership around command and control are rightly becoming obsolete, with many organisations reassessing what they would like their culture to be. Are organisations that take a more coaching and enabling approach to leadership and management more likely to thrive and be better places to work? Does introducing an adult-to-adult approach and coaching as a skill set really help?
In this episode, “Leader as Coach” you’ll hear what author, coach and resilience guru, Jennifer Potter and Glyn Fussell, Oasis Co-Director think about introducing a coaching approach for managers and leaders.
Women creating meaning in later life
Oasis Podcasts
08/16/24 • 29 min
In this episode, the second in our series about creating meaning in later life, you’ll hear two wise older women - Marion Ragaliauskas & Pam Winter - in conversation, as they explore the experience of women transitioning into later life. What’s similar for women in this phase of life compared to men? And crucially, what’s different for women?
As older women, both Marion and Pam are practicing and living their own inner work of aging, which brings into play areas as loss, review, evaluation and re-imagining: exploring the letting go of who we once were and learning how to embrace and experiment with who we are becoming, or could become.
A great reflection for anyone going through or approaching this stage of life, or if you want to understand more about it, or if you are helping others to go through it.
