How consciously are you holding your duty of care as a coach? In our latest episode of The Coaching Catalysts Podcast, we’re joined by Dr Benita Mayhead, executive coach, supervisor and author of Duty of Care in Coaching. Benita brings such depth, evidence and humanity to a conversation that sits right at the heart of our profession. Her journey from leaving school at 16 and going on to become a respected voice in coaching research, reflects persistence, curiosity and a lifelong commitment to learning. It’s quietly powerful and deeply grounding. In this episode, we explore themes that many of you will recognise in your own practice: ✨ Navigating complex client situations with care and clarity ✨ Creating psychological safety so clients feel secure enough to be fully present ✨ Engaging in supervision as an expression of professional maturity ✨ Building ethical confidence through education and reflective dialogue ✨ Strengthening coach training around duty of care and professional responsibility Coaching continues to grow across the globe. In many regions, the profession remains unregulated, while at the same time organisations and clients are seeking accredited training, robust ethical frameworks and clear standards of practice. This evolving landscape asks more of us as individual coaches. It invites us to stay connected to our development and anchored in supervision. Benita’s insights offer a natural pause. A space to reflect on how you are stewarding your practice, how you are holding your duty of care, and how supported you feel as you do so. 🎧Listen to Episode 52 now and we would love to hear your reflections.

Are we really doing enough to build coaching cultures from the inside out? In our latest episode of The Coaching Catalysts Podcast, we feature Catherine Boddington - PCC, executive coach, and founder of the Internal Coaches Network. Catherine brings such wisdom, commercial awareness and grounded realism to this conversation. It feels especially timely for organisations that are genuinely investing in people development and wanting coaching to make a measurable difference. Her journey from law into coaching beautifully reflects how the profession itself has evolved from something peripheral to something truly strategic. In this episode, we explore themes that many internal and organisational coaches will immediately recognise: ✨ Positioning coaching as a strategic accelerator rather than a “nice to have”, with research suggesting returns of up to 700% in organisations with strong coaching cultures ✨ Navigating the very real complexity of internal coaching – confidentiality, competing loyalties and organisational politics ✨ Wearing multiple hats while holding ethical clarity and professional boundaries ✨ Embedding structured supervision to strengthen resilience, reflection and long-term impact ✨ Protecting the human-to-human connection in an increasingly AI-shaped world As coaching becomes more embedded within organisations, expectations naturally rise. Leaders want tangible outcomes, boards want clear ROI, and internal coaches need support, space to reflect, and a strong professional community around them. 🎧 Have a listen to the episode and join the conversation.

✨ What does joy really look like in our clients’ lives, and what’s quietly getting in the way? In our latest issue of choice, the magazine of professional coaching, author Anike Wariebi explores how “real” people define joy, what blocks their access to it (from busyness and burnout to disconnection and fear), and how coaches can help them reconnect with purpose, gratitude, and everyday practices that make joy feel possible again. For professional coaches, this perspective is invaluable. It reminds us to move beyond abstract concepts and work with the lived realities, language, and constraints our clients bring. So we can partner with them to design lives where joy is not accidental, but intentionally cultivated. 🎧 The new Beyond The Page Podcast episode with Anike Wariebi is now live. Join us as we go deeper into “Joy Q&A: How ‘real’ people define joy, what gets in the way, and how coaches can help unlock it” and gather fresh questions, insights, and practices to use in your own coaching. https://lnkd.in/grA7tgUS

A few weeks ago, I shared that an article I wrote was published in the December issue of Choice, the magazine of professional coaching. The issue was themed “Coaching to Unlock Joy,” and you guessed it, all the featured articles were about helping people connect with joy through coaching. I was recently interviewed by the editor, @garryschleifer, on the Choice magazine podcast, where I talked about my feature article titled “Joy Q&A”. I explained how I reached out to “real” people – family, friends, clients, and colleagues- and asked some powerful, thought-provoking questions about joy. The reflections and insights were really fascinating. In the episode, I also offer some thoughts on how coaching can help unlock joy, along with simple practices to help connect with it. If these questions spark something in you, too… then check out the episode.
