   Am I Good Enough to Charge for This? with Meagan Yarmey

   Why do so many talented new coaches hesitate to charge for their work? Social psychologist Meagan Yarmey, PhD, MSW, RSW joins John Andrew Williams to explore impostor syndrome, or as she prefers to call it, impostorism, as a question of identity. She explains the gap between who we are, who we want to be, and who we think we ought to be, and why that gap shows up as self-doubt and hesitation to speak up. Meagan also widens the lens from the individual to the organization. She sees anxiety, depression, and burnout as normal outcomes of dysfunctional situations, and she uses the same model with one client or a whole company: identify what’s driving the outcome, then change it. Wellness practices like meditation and yoga help, but the data keeps pointing to organizational change as the bigger lever. She and John talk about why leaders resist that change even when they know what needs to happen. They also cover why insight alone doesn’t change behavior, how confidence gets built one small step at a time, what it took for Meagan to move from academia into public work, and learning to sit with discomfort before rushing to fix it. What you’ll hear: Why burnout is a systems problem as much as a personal one What holds leaders back from making the organizational changes that reduce burnout Why the value of a coach is in the substance of the question How to access what you know when the pressure is on Why selling can feel “icky” and how to do it with integrity Meagan’s advice for anyone early in their career About Meagan YarmeyMeagan Yarmey, PhD, MSW, RSW, is a Toronto-based Registered Social Worker with a PhD in social and personality psychology. Her work examines how performance pressure, perfectionism, identity, and organisational systems shape burnout, self-doubt, and capability in high-performing professionals.Learn more about Meagan’s work at meaganyarmey.ca

   You're Not Burned Out. You're in the Wrong Place. with Kathy Caprino

   Most people use "burnout" to describe anything from a hard week to a career in crisis. Kathy Caprino thinks that's a problem.In this episode of Coaching to Flourish, John (https://www.coachtrainingedu.com/bio/john-andrew-williams/) and Raj (https://www.coachability.us/) sit down with Kathy, a global career and leadership coach, Forbes senior contributor, and host of the Finding Brave podcast, to pull the term apart. Kathy spent eighteen years climbing to VP in corporate publishing before a series of crises, capped by a layoff one month after 9/11, sent her into therapy, then into coaching. That path shapes how she works: she looks at who you were as a child, not just the problem in front of you today.The conversation covers a lot of ground. Kathy explains why she sees burnout less as an occupational condition and more as an "identity clash," the exhaustion of using hard-won skills that were never your natural talents. She lays out the seven power gaps from her book The Most Powerful You, and why women so often reject the idea of wanting power in the first place. She's candid about AI, both as a believer who built her own trained clone and as a former therapist watching it give advice with no guardrails. And she gets practical about recovery: boundaries, saying no, and the daily walk she takes even when she's too tired to want to.Along the way, Kathy coaches Raj live on her own drive and boundaries, and the episode ends with a genuine disagreement about directive coaching that's worth the price of admission for any coach.Guest linksKathy Caprino: https://kathycaprino.com/ (https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUM4Zm9rUTdTZDY2VFBpQUV6Q1pRYXZDejZzWnxBTl9pYzRkOTJaeU5YaGhXWVlIOHkyYkNwU2ZSalVoMmhsN2NpZVJpdUpLOWg4YTRtdjlkdGJEN01BVjdXTnNhWEdDYVNFRUJ4bTVfc3p4VEstalYtMVlTR2JrdWV3XzB2SVd6&q=https%3A%2F%2Fkathycaprino.com%2F&v=oxXnxrnDMXM)Finding Brave podcast: https://findingbrave.org/ (https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUM4Zm9rUzRULVhLcUNmQVBwYXU1cUZOaXdEbXxBTl9pYzRkQW1CZVFRUk0weFVUVGJFMkI5LTJLUmFLZmlsRWJkcDJnYkV0WllDWUVHWW8wSWp6c1Y4OXRtVUI0NWVkWWkwWDRjNFVPU0U1ZHc5MG96QjZkVE5reFFhVy1IeHhK&q=https%3A%2F%2Ffindingbrave.org%2F&v=oxXnxrnDMXM)The Most Powerful You (book): https://www.amazon.com/Most-Powerful-...

   Coaching Across Cultures: Humility, Hierarchy and the Human Encounter with Nick Wright

   Most coaching models were built on Western assumptions: that the individual is free to choose, and that coach and client meet as equals. Nick Wright has spent fifteen years testing those assumptions in NGOs, charities, and communities across seventeen countries and five continents, and he has watched them break down in real time.In this conversation with Raj Anderson and John Andrew Williams, Nick shares the mistakes that taught him the most, the words of wisdom an international group of coaches gave him about how to work across cultures, and the three principles that now anchor his practice. It is a practical, honest look at what changes when you stop trying to master every culture and start showing up with humility and curiosity instead.Whether or not you coach across cultures, the core of this episode applies to every coaching relationship you have.What you'll learnThe two Western assumptions baked into most coaching: individual autonomy and equality between coach and client, and why both can fail outside a Western context.Why direct, goal-first coaching questions can feel blunt or even like a test in cultures where relationship and trust come first.Five practical principles for coaching across difference: relationship, intention, values, openness, and congruence.How to recover when you get it wrong, and why the courage to try and ask forgiveness beats the paralysis of trying to be perfect.Nick's three anchors for every session: prayer, presence, and participation, and what it means to treat coaching as a genuine human encounter.About the guestNick Wright is a cross-cultural coach and organizational development consultant based in the UK, with fifteen years of experience across the NGO sector, charities, and churches. He holds a postgraduate qualification in coaching psychology and has worked in more than seventeen countries across five continents.Connect with Nick at https://www.nick-wright.com/Want to build coaching skills that hold up in any room?
