S3 Episode 12: Business Builder for Coaches - Using videos to make an impact with Jane Hanson

Today Claire Pedrick MCC is in conversation with Emmy award winning television journalist and coach Jane Hanson who has spent over 30 years helping people learn to communicate better. There’s plenty of tips about creating great video content. And we explore why it matters to be vulnerable and, in the words of Nadia Bolz-Weber why this is about speaking from our scars not our wounds.

 

Takeaways

• Know your audience and tailor your message to resonate with them.
• Focus on your purpose and create short, clear videos that entice viewers.
• Practice your message and consider your voice, facial expressions, and gestures.
• Use smartphones to create videos, paying attention to lighting and camera angles.
• Be vulnerable and share personal stories that resonate with your audience.
• Building relationships and showing compassion are crucial in business.
• Believe in yourself and keep practicing to improve your video skills.

S3 Episode 03: Evoking Awareness in Coaching with Kathryn Lord from Out of the Box

Lucy Bolster is training with 3D and emailed us to say we absolutely had to meet Kathryn Lord from www.outoftheboxstories.org . The sense of delight, wonder and enjoyment in human interaction is strongly present in both of these kinds of conversations

The core values of OOB - breathe, trust, listen, feel, wonder, play, love - are the internal process I try to inhabit when I'm in a coaching conversation with others

The coaching outlook which says trust the process and trust that the other person has what they need to do the work they need to do, echoes so strongly with my experience of using OOB storytelling to open up conversation. (it doesn't mean I always manage to do it though!)

Both approaches advocate creating a container for the work which needs to be done in that moment. There is a recognition that this is what is needed in order for people to feel safe enough to be brave.  As a facilitator/coach I notice this is what I need too, both these approaches support me in curbing my own inner desire to 'sort it out'.

There is a lightness to both types of conversation (bit of a nebular term I know), maybe playfulness is another way of putting it. Even when we're opening a space to talk about painful, complex or long-term entrenched situations, I find space for gentle smiles and loving humour in the conversations.

So we said come and chat at The Coaching Inn. And we uncovered another way of changing the medium in coaching, exploring the value of ritual, embodied learning, and engaging even more of our senses.

 

Takeaways

• The use of storytelling and sand as a tool for dialogue and exploration
• The transformative power of narrative change in coaching and personal development
• The importance of community play and transitions in creating meaningful conversations
• The value of using physical mediums for coaching and personal development
