      112 Richard Morgan - Revisited - The Flower Never Opens Wrong
      Feb 18 2026
      The Flower Never Opens Wrong If you’ve missed the style of some of the original conversations with coaches on this podcast - you’ll love this episode! One of my favourite people in this profession, Richard Morgan, returns to the podcast around 7 years after his first appearance, and he’s as grounded and loving as ever. In this episode, we explore: • From trying to being • Energy over productivity • Art, creativity, and the inner critic • Marriage, polarity, and showing up • Dogs, systems, and emotional steadiness • Experience as the real teacher • The only thing between you and what you want • “The flower never opens wrong.” This was a rather lovely conversation about how to live well on an ordinary Tuesday, when there’s work to do, emotions to feel, and love to practice. Here’s a little more about Richard: Our work is about today. What will you make of it? Richard's extensive background in horticulture and its metaphors gained him the moniker "Gardener of the Human Spirit." It fits. When we look to our own nature, we find the same power and beauty that exists in all of nature — and like any garden, we grow best when we clear away what doesn't belong. For over two decades he has worked with executives, entrepreneurs, athletes, artists, and professionals across industries. Whether the work is navigating high-stakes decisions or untangling the relationship patterns that shape every area of life, the conversation always arrives at the same place: celebrating how much further you've come than you ever thought possible and how much possibility is ahead. At the heart of it all is you — as wholeness. Operating from one authentic center rather than the fragmentation of competing roles and expectations. Most people don't hesitate because they doubt the coaching process. They hesitate because they doubt themselves. That's exactly where the work begins — and exactly what changes first.

    • 111 Mark Spall - The Arc of Us

      111 Mark Spall - The Arc of Us
      Feb 8 2026
      This episode is a little different to most others on The Coaching Life Podcast. Over a somewhat extended period of time, you get to witness a beautiful conversation with my dear friend, Mark Spall. Mark and I met on our very first day as apprentices in September 1984. Here we are sitting together in Bali, recording a conversation that has been unfolding for over four decades. Rather than a structured coaching conversation or a clearly defined theme, this is a slow, reflective, wide-ranging dialogue between two friends who have known each other their entire adult lives. You’ll get to witness two men remembering, wondering, circling back, and allowing meaning to surface in its own time. In this conversation we explore: • Growing up without a clear sense of direction, and how much of life is shaped by chance, encouragement, and small moments of being seen • Early work, apprenticeships, and the quiet impact of teachers, mentors, and off-hand comments • Self-doubt, belonging, and the long-carried sense of “not quite fitting in.” • Intelligence, effort, neurodivergence, and the different ways people learn and thrive. • Programming, technology, creativity, and the joy of being absorbed in something for its own sake. • Leadership, validation, and the deep human desire to matter. • Spiritual curiosity, psychology, meaning, and the slow evolution of identity over time. • Friendship itself, how relationships drift, reconnect, and quietly shape who we become There is wisdom here, and its not delivered as advice. It emerges through memory, honesty, laughter, and reflection. Looking deeper, there’s something very honest about friendship here, about becoming, evolving and belonging, and the beautiful privilege of still being in conversation after all these years. We have created this episode together because I simply wanted to share with you someone who has been a part of my entire adult life. Just a side note - the audio quality is not of a standard I would prefer, but we did what we could with what was available to us at the time here in Bali, without postponing creating the recording… You’ll hear Bali in the background, in the form of motorcycles and other noises… And I’m a big advocate for imperfect action trumping inaction… I hope you enjoy listening in.

      110 AI in Coaching
      Nov 9 2025
      AI & The Future of Coaching What Can Be Replaced, and What Never Will Artificial Intelligence is changing the landscape of every creative and human profession, including coaching. In this solo episode, Phil Goddard explores what AI can already do better than most humans, and where its reach will always end. Phil also takes a more intimate look at what those two letters, AI, might also come to mean for the coaching world. This isn’t a debate about technology; it’s an inquiry into what makes coaching truly human: presence, curiosity, and love. Phil takes listeners on a reflective, grounded journey through the evolving world of creation and connection, inviting both coaches and clients to return to the essence of what real transformation is built upon. In this episode Phil shares: • What aspects of the coaching industry are most at risk from automation • The irreplaceable qualities that keep real coaching alive • Why curiosity is the true heartbeat of transformation • How creativity loses soul when it becomes mechanical • What the future of meaningful human work might look like • If you’re a coach: this episode invites you to rediscover your depth, to shift from performance to presence, and to build your work around what no machine can replicate. • If you’re a coaching client: it offers clarity on what genuine coaching feels like, how to recognise when a conversation is alive, real, and transformative, and not formulaic. This is a meditation on where technology ends, and where humanity begins.
