Ep. 32: Confidence can be Overrated

Ep. 35: Everyone in the queue has their own story

Hey Everyone,

In today's episode we are joined by Fiona Setch. Having had a successful first career in Nursing, specialising in caring for people who were dying, Fiona is passionate about helping people reach their potential in life, and especially enjoyment in work.

With twenty eight years experience of designing & delivering inspiring and innovative learning strategies; Fiona provides high quality development opportunities tailored to the needs of the organisation, team and individual.

Fiona is renowned for her enthusiastic, inspiring and motivational delivery style as a coach, supervisor, trainer and public speaker.

In this episode, we discuss;

• Fiona takes us right back to when she left the UK to work in Italy at just 18, and how that experience helped shape her confidence
• That everything you do, is going to contribute to who you become, and what you end up doing
• If you’re going to take the time to study anything, make sure it’s something that you love!
• How Fiona has created unique offerings in her business, one such example being that of Retirement Coaching
• How being made redundant can significantly impact your confidence, and how reframing the language around that experience can help
• Fiona’s experience of working with individuals with HIV and Aids, and how angry she had become about the judgment she was witnessing at the time
• We hear all about Fiona’s 23 years of caring for her mother, who sadly died in her nursing home during the first wave of Covid 
• We take a short detour into understanding what coaching is, and isn’t, and why it’s important to know this if you’re thinking of investing in a coach
• For the first time on the podcast we openly discuss the pandemic and how we collectively experienced the challenges it has brought
• The struggle of transitioning her face to face business on to an online platform during the pandemic and the lack of confidence Fiona experienced using technology
• Towards the end of the episode we find our way to discussing death, and how critical it is to have the confidence to discuss death with our loved ones

At times this episode hits some incredibly hard hitting, but real life issues that all three of us agree aren’t being discussed enough. There’s silence in places, as we process and contemplate how to take the conversation forward. Fiona shares very recent and real examples of losses she has experienced, and how she has managed to keep moving forward. 

It was a genuine privilege to hold a space for this conversation. Fiona is lighthearted, funny, and has so many wonderful stories to listen to. There is so much to take from this episode, perhaps not specifically about confidence, maybe more about life.

Ep. 34: Nothing is ever done on your own

Hey Everyone,

Welcome to episode 34 of the Two Coach Confidence podcast. Our aim with this podcast is to bring fun and interesting guests from all areas and walks of life to share their knowledge, stories and experiences of this mystical and subjective topic we refer to as confidence.

In today's episode we are joined by Natalie Potts. A leadership coach driven to inspire and impact others lives so they can achieve their goals and aspirations in life. Driven to achieve her own goals through strong values and passion always centred around family and friends. Natalie ensures she lives each day with purpose, kindness and energy. Believing everyone wants the same things in life, to be happy and successful. 

In this episode, we talk about:

• The power of self reflection, and how that can improve your ability to develop greater confidence
• How important it is to have people around you that BELIEVE in you, and how that supports your confidence
• Natalie’s decision to invest in Therapy and why she thinks it’s such a beneficial service
• The power of creating evidence in order to grow and develop more confidence
• In a first on the podcast, Natalie shares how she’d actually like to be less confident!
• The importance of Personal Development and why Natalie believes it’s essential for us to spend time getting to know ourselves
• The idea of reverse engineering a particular situation in order to develop the confidence desired to achieve a particular outcome
• Natalie’s strategy of continually putting herself in situations that promotes her personal growth
• How nothing is ever done on your own!
• Where Natalie currently doesn’t feel as confident as she would like, and her plan to move forward in that area
• Natalie’s journey from never stepping foot in a gym, to spending nine months preparing for her first fitness photoshoot
• The impact that feeling judged can have on our levels of confidence

A rich and diverse conversation unfolds through this episode with Natalie having several insights about confidence. This episode has a sense of fluidity to it, just three curious individuals discussing and sharing thoughts all about this thing we call confidence. Natalie has been on a real journey of exploration which she shares with honesty and vulnerability. It was intriguing to record this episode as Natalie transitions away from her corporate career to become self employed and how that is affecting her confidence.

Ep. 33: You have to look at the evidence

Hey Everyone,

In today's episode, we are joined by Shelley Smith. Shelley is an Integrative Psychotherapist and is the Founder & Director of Sunrise Wellbeing Partnership in Leicester. Shelley is passionate about providing therapeutic services to help people of all ages with their mental health and wellbeing, and to provide them with strategies and skills that can prevent their troubles from escalating. 

Shelley provides an award-winning holistic therapeutic service to support children, young people, and adults to meet their own individual needs and is incredibly proud of creating her own Wellbeing Therapy Centre. A dream she had always had, offering a hub of therapeutic & holistic support to people of all ages.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Shelley’s incredible story of finding herself in hospital with a sudden collapsed lung to creating Sunrise Wellbeing
• How Shelley literally use to be scared of confident people, and why she feared them
• What Shelley’s role as a Psychotherapist is and isn’t, and how parts of her work supports her clients to show up more confidently in the world
• Shelley takes us back in time and shares her journey of developing her confidence, and how earlier in her life she didn’t even have the confidence to put her hand up to answer a question
• The importance of having our needs met when we are young and critically the importance of being allowed to show our emotions openly without judgment or fear
• Shelley shares that in her experience confidence can sometimes be a mask that people wear in order to protect themselves 
• The mental impact the pandemic appears to have had on us as a species and the potentially lasting effects it has had on individuals confidence
• We discuss the idea of not having to, “fix things” and instead just making yourself available 
• Our brains only believe what they hear, and how important this concept is in terms of developing our confidence
• How important evidence is, and that deliberately looking for evidence is a key component when developing one's confidence 
• We ask Shelley to give her thoughts on the question, If we had no fear, would we all have as much confidence as we want?
• How emotions “feel” and why this is such a crucial part of the work Shelley does 

Shelley’s journey and story are fascinating and inspirational, to say the least. Yet another episode that has so much knowledge and value. As hosts, we continue to learn, develop and grow with each new guest we have the pleasure of sitting with. Shelley has a wonderful ease and way of explaining the way we work as humans and importantly is able to remove any stigma that may be associated with the word therapy or psychotherapy.
