The Unlock Moment: find your purpose for leadership and life

In this episode we’re going Down Under to Melbourne, Australia with Master Coach Mel Leow. He's an inspiring speaker whose philosophy 'Live. Be. Brave.' is a powerful mantra for finding empowerment and fulfilment in work and life.

With almost three decades in leadership, coaching, and unlocking human potential in the Asia Pacific region, Mel serves C- suite Executives and their teams to thrive at their best. He is a Master Certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation and leads a global ICF-Accredited online school "Catalyst Coach", with a mission to equip 10,000 coaches to impact 10 million people over the next 20 years.

Mel is a co-author of 3 books & author of “ENGAGE – How to Stop Living in Default & Start Living the Life You Desire”. He is also the Host of the #100MasterCoaches show. He is a proud father of 3, enjoys cycling and hiking, and together with his wife in Melbourne, they love exploring cafes and vineyards.

I’m looking forward to hearing about Mel’s perspective on career, life and fulfilment and of course those Unlock Moments of remarkable clarity that helped him to figure out the path ahead.

105 Jacquelyn Lane and Scott Osman: Becoming Coachable, Why Growth And Leadership Come From Within

Do you have a coaching relationship today and you're trying to get the most of it? Or maybe you're looking to find a coach to help you figure things out in your life or career? Either way, this is the episode for you! You're going to learn all about how to Become Coachable and get the absolute best from a coaching relationship, from two of the very best in the business!

My regular listeners have been privileged to hear from many of the world’s leading coaches over the last year and half, from Marshall Goldsmith and Mark Goulston to Whitney Johnson and Carol Kauffman to name but a few. They’re all part of the prestigious Marshall Goldsmith 100 Coaches Agency, which is a veritable who’s who of the global coaching community. Well today we get to hear from the people who make it all happen and celebrate the launch of their latest book, Becoming Coachable – already an Amazon bestseller.

Scott Osman is the CEO of the 100 Coaches Agency, which he co-founded with Marshall Goldsmith in 2016. He’s also the cofounder of Methods by 100 Coaches, the online learning platform, and publishes a great LinkedIn newsletter called Insights from 100 Coaches. He has a fascinating background, from marketing to the movies – I can’t wait to learn more.

Jacquelyn Lane is the President of the 100 Coaches Agency, with them since the start and committed to improving the lives of people through elevating the quality of leadership. An engineer by training, she cut her teeth in the oil industry before transitioning into leadership development.

Scott and Jacquelyn have co-authored a new book together with Marshall Goldsmith called ‘Becoming Coachable’, a book that guides readers through the ins and outs of a successful coaching experience. You might have heard Marshall back in Episode 36 of The Unlock Moment – bookmark that for later. So now with Becoming Coachable – well if you want to figure out how to get the most from your relationship with a coach and how to upskill your leadership then keep listening!

And of course as ever I’m curious about how two people with such different backgrounds connected as co-authors and how their Unlock Moments of remarkable clarity shaped the people they are today.

107 Dr Meg Arroll: Tiny Traumas, When You Don't Know What's Wrong, But Nothing Feels Quite Right

I met today’s guest a few months ago at a major national wellbeing event and was struck by her ability to make complex psychology simple in helping people to understand and deal with life’s tricky problems. In this episode you're going to hear about someone who has shaped a career based around making the biggest difference by focusing on the smallest things.

Dr Meg Arroll is a chartered psychologist, scientist and author with a specialist focus on behavioural psychology related to health and wellness, invisible or misunderstood illness and everyday trauma.

She has published widely in peer-reviewed journals and written seven books on topics ranging from chronic fatigue to emotional eating. She works on a 1-to-1 basis with individuals, in corporate settings to improve health and performance and as an advisor to brands and the media. She’s a regular contributor to publications such as the Daily Mail, Psychologies, Women’s Health, Cosmopolitan and many others, where she translates complex scientific theories and research for public dissemination.

Her latest book is called "Tiny Traumas: When you don’t know what’s wrong, but nothing feels quite right."

I’m fascinated to learn more about the journey she made to focus in on tiny traumas, and the Unlock Moments of remarkable clarity that helped her to shape the path ahead. Let’s dive in!
