"Flow," often described as being "in the zone," is a psychological state of deep and effortless immersion in an activity, where you lose any sense of yourself, time and possible distractions.

It's a concept that was introduced by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, in the 1970s and provides an important aspect of the Engagement element of Martin Seligman's PERMAH model within the world of positive psychology.

Having an understanding of Flow might help you to support your coachees in improving their own wellbeing.

In this episode of our podcast we explore Flow, what it is and what it isn't, and how it might be useful in the coaching room.

Stress is a normal and natural response that we have all experienced in our lives. It's also a phenomenon that frequently enters the coaching room.

Coaching is often focused initially on problems that the coachee wishes to resolve, and that is a natural space for stress to show up. Coaching is also frequesntly concerned with change that the coachee wishes to see, and a time of change is definitely a point at which stress might appear.

In this episode we are exploring the different aspects of stress, including why it can be useful, and when it's really not. We will also recap on what stress is and the effects it might have on individuals.

Finally we will be looking at what tools there are that can help us to explore stressful situations with our coachees, and perhaps, how they can manage their own stress.

Join us as we take you on a journey through stress in the coaching room that will hopefully leave you more confident in having conversations that address the topic.

We love an exploration of the world of Transactional Analysis and this is our fourth episode that attempts to explain some of the concepts that have emerged from Transactional Analysis theory.

In this episode we're exploring the OK Corral, which provides a way of illustrating the idea of Life Positions, which emerged within the field of Transactional Analysis. The concept of Life Positions can help us, and our clients, to gain a better understanding of how we're showing up, what our values and beliefs are, and how we view the world and our place in it.

The idea of Life Positions was developed by Thomas Harris in the 1960, with the publication of his book, 'I'm OK, You're OK'.

Franklin Ernst's notion of 'The OK Corral' was a visual representation of the ideas that Thomas Harris had developed and set out to illustrate what is happening when people are OK or not OK within any social dynamic.

In this episode we explore the OK Corral and offer our thoughts on how the concept might be useful to us and our coachees in the coaching room.
