Peter McCammon

Experience LeadsPeter is a gem of a genuine coach, self-described as relatively new to the profession.  However, it’s very apparent he has extensive experience outside of coaching that is relevant to coaching, and most of his clients are also from all walks of life outside the profession.During this conversation we discussed:* Peter’s story of transitioning from the family business into coaching, via psychotherapy.* His evolution as a coach over the last 3 years.* How he created his first clients.* What he noticed about clients not signing up.* What a full practice looks like.* A somewhat controversial system he’s been using to connect with some new clients.* How his experiences in his family business and as a psychotherapist help his coachingIn his own words, here’s a little more about Peter:‘I am 55 years old and married with 2 grown-up kids. I love coaching, am passionate about health and fitness (I want to be still coaching when I’m 70) and have never been more excited about my future. I am fairly new to coaching. I trained in 2016 after 20 years in retailing and 10 years as a psychotherapist. A burnout experience led to my move from retail to psychotherapy. Coaching was really more of a hobby until late 2020, when I hired a coach and started coaching full-time. It took me 12 months to fill my practice and another 12 months to increase my fees to the point where my practice started to feel sustainable. My clients are mostly owners, founders, directors and leaders in SME’s across a range of sectors. I also work with some coaches. My work is mostly helping people to get clear about what they really want to create in their life, their work and their relationships and then to help them to see the amazingness that is already within them so that they can go and create whatever it is that they want. If they want help with the creating part, I can help with that too.’You can find out more about Peter at https://pm-coaching.co.uk/

Life, Love &amp; Leo UnleashedThis episode is a little different, it’s a conversation that is a beautiful example of what is possible in coaching.At the time of recording Leo had been working with me for 6 months in my Coaching Life Unleashed program.  In this episode Leo shares some thoughts about his first 6 months of our time together.He has been a wonderful client himself, open to looking at the uncomfortable, to be held with love through aspects of our exploration that have had him squirm, and a willingness to step into the unknown, which is all there really is.We have explored some pretty deep topics during our time together, and this 24 minute conversation is barely a glimpse. What is possible in coaching? A complete shift in your relationship with life, love and yourself.If you’re a coach please feel free to share this episode with your prospects and clients as an example of what is possible in coaching.Here’s a little more about Leo:Born in Austria and raised in Germany by an American Mother and Austrian father, Leo developed a sense of alienation early in life.  His “ADD” felt incompatible with traditional education and, feeling something was wrong with him, he found it difficult to connect with other people. Since 2014 he has explored the nature of the human experience and through many kind and openhearted conversations has come to understand that how he felt was as much a universal as it was a personal experience. It is what he would describe as a pandemic of disconnection and disembodiment. Having trained in Gestalt therapy and group dynamics, and being at much more ease with life, he reached a turning point in his career: daring to offer someone he had just met a coaching session. The feedback from that conversation helped him decide to follow his calling to coach.    Leo has invested in working with internationally renowned coaches and teachers and now takes much joy from helping his clients flourish and connect with a loving life.    He also enjoys writing, listening to and playing music, volunteering in the name of happiness, and supporting organizations or individuals in their quest for a better world.You can find out more about Leo at https://www.leopessl.net/ (English coming soon!)

The Simplicity of Being HappyA former addict, hairdresser, and Harley Street therapist, Hugh now lives in Switzerland, is the author of 3 books, and works as a coach and therapist, helping people overcome their addictions.In this conversation we discuss:* At his lowest point, what came to mind to help him move forward?* How the losing of control gave an artificial sense of control.* Some of the steps he took to set up his therapy practice in a way that enabled him to support his family.* The value of imperfection and embracing being human.* What we would like to be different about ourselves.* Playing the game, and reflect on some coaching trainings.Hugh gives one of my favourite answers ever to my final question!Here’s a little more about Hugh, in his own words:“In 1997, after a long period of drug abuse, my life fell apart in a way that it could never be the same again. This turned out to be a good thing!As my addictions ended, I knew I had an opportunity to re-build my life. I am so grateful I had that choice, and that I took it!Since the re-build began, I worked hard on becoming better at being myself. This has not always been easy. Aside from my many and varied addictions, I have struggled with anxiety, confidence, and relationship issues. I have also had times where my life seemed to lack meaning and purpose.Along the way, I have worked with some really great coaches, therapists, and guides, who have helped me get clear about who I am and what my life stands for.These days my life is primarily guided by my core values, two of which are kindness and imperfection.Kindness because, for me, this is one of the most important human qualities. The world needs more of it, so I am doing my part!Imperfection because, for me, we are all fellow strugglers finding our way on this journey through life. Our struggles are not an obstacle to growth. They are our growth!I love helping my clients find freedom from addiction and change their lives! I love helping people realise they can have more of what they want, with the strengths and resources that they already have!One of the great things about choosing a path of personal growth is that one day you get to look back and tell a different story about the journey you have been on. I love helping people come to that place where the dots join up and they can see their personal history through new eyes.”You can find out more about Hugh at https://thehughosborne.com/

Since the re-build began, I worked hard on becoming better at being myself. This has not always been easy. Aside from my many and varied addictions, I have struggled with anxiety, confidence, and relationship issues. I have also had times where my life seemed to lack meaning and purpose. Along the way, I have worked with some really great coaches, therapists, and guides, who have helped me get clear about who I am and what my life stands for. These days my life is primarily guided by my core values, two of which are kindness and imperfection. Kindness because, for me, this is one of the most important human qualities. The world needs more of it, so I am doing my part! Imperfection because, for me, we are all fellow strugglers finding our way on this journey through life. Our struggles are not an obstacle to growth. They are our growth! I love helping my clients find freedom from addiction and change their lives! I love helping people realise they can have more of what they want, with the strengths and resources that they already have! One of the great things about choosing a path of personal growth is that one day you get to look back and tell a different story about the journey you have been on. I love helping people come to that place where the dots join up and they can see their personal history through new eyes.” You can find out more about Hugh at <a href="https://thehughosborne.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://thehughosborne.com/</a>

Opening Up The Empty ToolboxAs a former habit and strategy junkie, Antti noticed that none of the tools and techniques he was trying seemed to bring the long-term results he was seeking.  An insight into the nature of our human experience opened up a world where Antti simply gets on with living life in his own style, and he gets to help others do the same.Considering the human tendency to make things more complex than necessary, that might sound too easy.  In this episode you’ll get a sense of Antti’s willingness to explore, experiment, simply try things out and play full out at being of service to others.Here’s a little more about Antti:Antti is a transformative coach who creates a space for others to rediscover their own innate wisdom, peace and resilience. When it comes to personal transformation, the only wisdom, resilience or joy that matter are your own. I help people from all walks of life to experience more joy and peace in their lives, or simply to perform better at whatever they do.https://www.devilinagoodman.com/

Dropping the Mask to WellbeingEmerging from a snotting-nosed pool of tears, Karen has realised the freedom of living life without a mask, in full integrity of showing up as herself in all circumstances, which has also brought some immense health benefits.In this wonderfully frank conversation Karen talks about play and experimentation, boobs and smoking, and gives us all a glimpse into the delights of simply showing up as yourself.Here’s a little more about Karen DiMarco, RN, BSN, iRNPAA nurse for 22 years with specialties in Intensive Care, Trauma, and Flight Nursing, Karen DiMarco (who is writing this in the 3rd person, which is weird, but apparently the standard for bios), had an experience in 2011 that she describes as “a coming home.”  Within weeks of that profound moment  – on the floor of a closet in a puddle of snot and tears –  her mental and physical illnesses, and a 26-year history of eating disorders, melted away.Since then, she has been a catalyst for transforming the way we deliver and conceive of health care and wellbeing. Put simply, the mind and body are not disconnected, and when misunderstandings of the mind are healed, there is a profound healing effect on the body.Karen is a total geek about science, and the connection between the mind and the body.  Her insatiable appetite for all things spiritual and biological, and her ability to communicate her understanding in a scientific, sometimes hilarious, and always easy-to-understand way, is what makes her both a total weirdo and incredibly impactful as a healthcare visionary and transformational coach.Hobbies include: collecting sea glass and coaching certifications; reading, research, yoga, and ‘playing with herself’ (nutrition, biological alchemy, meditation, &amp; quantum-whatever); hanging-out with family — including her 3 daughters, a Tortoise, and a small dog named “Mr. Big” (all often seen, or spoken of, as backdrops to her 1-to-1 coaching, courses, writing, and speaking engagements.)You can find out more about Karen at https://karendimarco.com

Surfing Wild Waves into CoachingIn this raw and open conversation, with infectious enthusiasm Troy shares his journey from being a founder member of a super-successful clothing company, through some of life’s shit-storms, and into his first year in coaching.It’s been a wild ride, one that has had him listen to his heart and change completely how he shows up in the world.If you’re a relatively new coach, you’re transitioning or have transitioned from a previous career, or are passionate about living a coaching life, this one is for you.Here’s a little more about TroyHailing from California Troy was introduced to the ocean and surfing at a very young age. In 1991 he was on his way to becoming a professional surfer when he was faced with a decision of surfing for a living or taking a leap of faith at a startup called Volcom. He chose the latter and ended up with the company for 20 years where he worked his way up to Global EVP of Marketing. In 2010 he left the company and shortly thereafter he was divorced. In 2016 he started a men’s yoga clothing line called Kozm. At the beginning of 2018, he was feeling unfulfilled with running his company and made the tough decision to step away. Simultaneously he experienced a painful breakup, was confronted with mid-life and was feeling depleted and lost.Soon thereafter he fell into depression which battered his immune system leaving him vulnerable for a health crisis. He then became ill and was diagnosed with mold poisoning from the house he was living in. Finally realizing the innate healing power within he soon learned how to become his own doctor and created the optimum environment (inside and out) to heal.This experience ended up being a blessing which supercharged him in becoming a life coach where he helps people to remember the true essence of who they are and what they're capable of creating and achieving.You can find out more about Troy at:https://www.radical.voyage/https://www.instagram.com/radicalvoyage/ https://www.instagram.com/treckert/

Fair warning - This is a long read…’https://medium.com/@StacyNelson/the-shadow-side-of-consciousness-b788022184bfHere’s a little more about  Stacy:The Formal Official Bio Because People Ask...Stacy is a serial Entrepreneur. While in her corporate life she built million dollar divisions and worked in Business Development, she learned that she was indeed thoroughly unemployable and quickly outgrew every position she took on. Having built countless businesses in the past 15 years, some successfully written up in Entrepreneur Magazine and some total utter failures (or grand experiments depending on how you look at it), she realized 8 years ago that the business of transformation was the path that was most in alignment with her.Multi-passionate to the core, she has written multiple best selling books under her own publishing company, BadAss Publishing Co., and has Mentored and Coached hundreds of Intuitive Entrepreneurs to deeper levels of success. Her greatest goal for her clients is not to raise their bottom line (although that happens auto-magically), but to have each person reach the highest levels of self trust they've ever experienced and use their innately intuitive voice to create awesomeness in the world.

Molly Gordon

Relaxing Into WisdomWhat has someone choose to close down their existing business without knowing at all what they’ll be doing next?  What’s the secret to being married for over forty years and creating a sustainable coaching business over twenty two years?  In this delightful episode, Molly shares some of her insights that have helped her develop and grow her coaching business, continue to be of service and help to her clients, and have fun in enjoying the longevity of her loving marriage.Here’s a little more about  Molly:By 1996 Molly Gordon had been a waiter, a writer, an editor, a business manager, and a full-time artist. She had a penchant for Jungian studies, the novels of Dorothy Sayers, and Improv. After closing her fiber arts studio, Mollycoddles, she agreed to help a few friends with their businesses. Before long, they were coming to see her weekly, not only with business issues, but also with life questions. Molly didn’t know what to call what she was doing. It wasn’t consulting, and it wasn’t therapy. All she knew was that her clients became more engaged, confident, and pro-active in their lives and work. They were living into their dreams.One day a client sent an article from Newsweek about coaching. Attached was a sticky note saying, “This is what you do.” And she saw that her variegated past had been the perfect training ground for what became her life work.Twenty years and a substantial amount of training later, Molly is a Master Certified Coach, a Certified Mentor Coach, an assessor in the International Coach Federation (ICF) credentialing process, and an instructor at University of Miami (Coral Gables) Professional Coaching Certificate Program, 7 Paths Forward, and Coach Masters Academy.In 2010 Molly encountered the teachings of Sydney Banks, commonly known as the Three Principles. She recognized in Syd’s insights the source code for effective coaching: human beings are part of an infinite intelligent life energy, and as such, they are inherently whole, creative and resourceful. Molly is now on a path to incorporate the Principles into the International Coach Federation (ICF) definition of coaching and mentors ICF-oriented coaches to integrate the Three Principles into their work.You can find out more about Molly at https://shaboominc.com/

My notes from my last conversation with John had a simple heading: Wow!And this interview also reflects that.John talks about the magic of coaching and creating, his intense curiosity about others, about life, his commitment to his personal journey and his desire to create a more connected and loving world.  I found this conversation personally inspiring, and loved how John reflected that back to me, such is his vision and his curiosity and love for the person in front of him.This one is definitely worth taking the time to listen to.You can connect with him here:http://jpmorganjr.com/A little more about John:My vision is a more connected and loving world. I create this by challenging leaders to discover a whole worldview and to embody a radically deep personal integrity. I have been 'coaching'​ and 'speaking'​ since the late 90's and this work became my profession in 2009. I have supported numerous leaders to grow their organisation by growing themselves. I have been invited to share my ideas on human connection on the TEDx stage, at a private event attended by billionaires I spoke about creating a borderless world and the University of Cambridge Psychology department has researched the impact of my leadership on students. Previous to my current work I built a property business and then a web company serving non-profits. I travelled and lived nomadically, coached human rights leaders, funded development of a kids library in Cambodia and studied with spiritual teachers. To this day I am engaged in an often obsessive pursuit of knowledge and experience in the art and science of being human.
