785. What Makes a Coach Irreplaceable? - With Lise Bruynooghe
The Embodiment Coaching Podcast
In this episode, I speak with executive coach Lise Bruynooghe about what coaching really is, why the profession is often misunderstood, and how coaches can thrive in a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence. Drawing on her work across leadership, organisational development, and cross-cultural coaching, Lise argues that coaching is far more than a collection of techniques—it's a uniquely human way of helping people think, learn, and grow. Together, we explore what distinguishes skilful coaching from simply asking good questions, discussing the importance of presence, curiosity,...

The Embodiment Coaching Podcast
In this episode, I speak with Dr Helen Machen-Pearce about the art of embodied group facilitation and why working with a group requires a very different set of skills from one-to-one coaching. Drawing on years of experience facilitating groups, we explore what happens when the focus shifts from an individual client to the complex dynamics of an entire group, including the importance of reading the room, tracking the group nervous system, and adapting in real time. Together, we examine the practical skills that distinguish effective group facilitation, from giving clear instructions and...

783. How Childhood Shapes the Adults We Coach - With Paddy Ney
The Embodiment Coaching Podcast
In this episode, I speak with parenting coach and documentary maker Patrick Ney about why modern parenting has become so challenging, and what it reveals about human psychology far beyond family life. Drawing on his experience of working with more than 165,000 parents around the world, Patrick explores how our own childhood experiences quietly shape the way we parent, relate to others, and show up as coaches and helping professionals. Together, we examine the powerful influence of attachment, emotional development, and inherited family patterns, discussing why many of the struggles we...

781. Coaching Through the Meaning Crisis - With Brendan Graham Dempsey
The Embodiment Coaching Podcast
In this episode, I speak with writer, researcher, and philosopher Brendan Graham Dempsey about the modern meaning crisis, why so many people feel disconnected from purpose and belonging, and what this means for coaches, leaders, and anyone supporting human development. Drawing on philosophy, psychology, history, and his work on metamodernism, Brendan explores how we arrived at this cultural moment—and how we might move beyond it. We discuss why questions of meaning increasingly show up in coaching conversations, even when clients initially present with goals around performance,...

780. Why Great Coaches Are Creative (Not Just Skilled)- With Mark Walsh & Dr Helen Machen-Pearce
The Embodiment Coaching Podcast
In this episode, I speak with Dr Helen Machen-Pearce about the role of creativity in coaching, and why it may be one of the most overlooked skills in helping people change. Drawing on our experience of training somatic coaches, we explore what creativity really means, why it isn't limited to artistic talent, and how coaches can cultivate it without losing structure or rigour. Together, we examine the tension between following established methods and developing your own style, discussing whether creativity is something we're born with or something that emerges through disciplined practice. We...

Drawing on more than 15 years of training and assessing embodiment coaches, we explore the common patterns that hold coaches back, from relying too heavily on techniques to confusing confidence with competence. Together, we examine the balance between structure and flexibility, discussing why great coaching isn't about following rigid formulas or believing that "anything goes." Instead, we explore the principles that...

778.The Hormonal Intelligence Coaches Need - With Harry Pitcher
The Embodiment Coaching Podcast
In this episode, I speak with relationship educator Harry Pitcher, creator of the She's Not Crazy series, about the biology of relationships and why understanding women's hormonal cycles can transform the way we connect with one another. Drawing on years of research into neuroscience, endocrinology, and attachment, Harry explains why many relationship struggles are less about personality or communication skills than they are about biology that is rarely understood or talked about. We explore what this means for coaches, therapists, and anyone working with relationships, examining how hormones...
