The Impactful Coach: Learn Coaching Skills & Coaching Demos

A coaching podcast with Dr. Nannette Reuther and Tobias Weghorn. In this episode, Tobias brings two real client cases to explore what coaching supervision looks like in practice, including a supervision demo for coaches using images and metaphor. You’ll hear how supervision helps coaches notice when they’re taking over “the steering wheel,” and how simple ICF core competencies contracting can reset the partnership when sessions start to feel heavy. Along the way, Dr. Reuther shares practical ways to use coaching with images to bypass pure logic, access emotions, and build accountability.Key Learnings:Use coaching supervision to spot early warning signs you’re “doing the work for the client” (busy, heavy, exhausting) and pause to re-center in the coach role.Re-contract in the moment using ICF core competencies contracting: clarify where the client wants to “drive,” what they need right now (venting vs. moving forward), and what role they want you to play.Try coaching with images to shift from analysis to emotion: ask the client (or supervisee) what the image evokes, then use it as an accountability anchor for the next session (helpful alongside inner team model coaching when clients stay overly cognitive).Resources:Dr. Nannette Reuther's Website: https://supervision.partners/Dr. Nannette Reuther's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-nannette-reuther-453956102/Find your Coaching Tool: https://metaFox.euTry the metaFox Strengths Discovery: https://strengths-discovery.comConnect with Tobi on LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/tobiasweghornEpisode Chapters:00:00 When Coaching Starts Feeling Like Work01:00 Why Coaching Supervision Matters (And Why Tobi Finally Tried It)06:00 Coaching with Images: Why Pictures Bypass Logic and Create Accountability09:00 A Supervision Demo for Coaches: Using a Library Image in Group Supervision13:00 Case 1: The “Storyteller” Client and Letting Go of the Steering Wheel20:00 ICF Core Competencies Contracting in the Moment (Where Does the Client Want to Drive?)24:00 Coach Position vs. Personal Patterns: “Put Your Baggage in the Trunk”31:00 Case 2: Inner Team Model Coaching Meets a Very Rational Client36:00 Coffee-Spilling Metaphor: When Coaching Feels Exhausting40:00 Re-Contracting So You’re Coach, Not Consultant53:00 How to Get Started with Coaching Supervision (Accredited Supervisors, Groups, Budget)

A coaching podcast with Jerry Colonna and Tobias Weghorn, centered around a coaching demo that quickly moves from “Am I enough?” to where that belief may come from in the first place. Tobi shares how safety and financial security shaped parts of his family story, and Jerry helps reframe those fears through compassion for inherited patterns. They also unpack why coaching mastery beyond methodology often requires dropping the “right way vs. wrong way” obsession and paying attention to what actually works in the moment. Along the way, they touch on radical self-inquiry, the role of supervision, and how countertransference and the third can become practical data for coaches.Key Learnings:Use coaching demo moments to surface the real driver (e.g., safety beliefs behind “not enough belief (I am enough)”), then work with what’s alive rather than forcing a script.Practice radical self-inquiry without shame: name the benefit of the inherited pattern first, then build change through repetition (not just cognitive insight) so the coaching demo insight sticks under stress.Build coaching supervision into your craft: track countertransference and the third (what you feel in-session) as information, so you don’t default to “more methodology” when you and your client feel stuck.Resources:Jerry Colonna's Website: https://www.reboot.io/team/jerry-colonna/Jerry Colonna's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jerrycolonna/Reboot (Book): https://www.amazon.com/Reboot-Leadership-Art-Growing-Up/dp/0062749530Reunion (Book): https://www.amazon.com/Reunion-Leadership-Art-Growing-Up/dp/0062910587Reboot: https://www.reboot.io/Find your Coaching Tool: https://metaFox.euTry the metaFox Strengths Discovery: https://strengths-discovery.comConnect with Tobi on LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/tobiasweghornEpisode Chapters:00:00 Mastery Beyond Methodology: The “Right Way” Trap01:00 Introduction: The “Am I Enough?” Belief And A Coaching Demo Setup04:00 Leaders, Safety, And The Human Condition Behind “Not Enough”14:00 Coaching Demo: Inherited Family Trauma And Safety Beliefs21:00 Making “I Am Enough” Stick: Benefits, Repetition, And Radical Self-Inquiry30:00 Why Coaches Get Stuck: Methodology, The Third, And Countertransference43:00 Coaching Supervision And Tracking What You Feel In Session47:00 A Practical Habit: Notes On What The Client Says vs. What You Feel

A coaching podcast with Christina Merkley and Tobias Weghorn. They unpack graphic recording at conferences and how Christina's "visual coaching" work today goes deeper - combining visual work with the coach’s role of holding space, asking questions, and mirroring what clients say on a live canvas. You’ll hear how graphic facilitation works in real time (not just as “fun notes”), why listening and synthesis matter as much as drawing, and how visuals can support visioning and action planning. Christina also walks through her SHIFT-IT process, including life map coaching and the “alignment work” that helps when plans stall at the “trouble at the border” between where you are and where you want to be.Key Learnings:Use visual coaching to “capture and reflect back” what clients say: listen for the few key nuggets, condense them, and place them on a simple canvas clients can react to in the moment.Borrow from graphic recording and graphic facilitation by making the visual build live during the session; it can improve clarity, recall, and follow-through (especially when you turn visioning and action planning into something visible and revisitable).Add a life map coaching step (a quick lifeline or a fuller history map) to harvest patterns, beliefs, and turning points—then use alignment work when the client’s stated goals and actual behavior don’t match.Resources:Book a visual coaching with Christina: https://www.shift-it-coach.com/services/private-coaching/Christina Merkley’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christina-merkley-0790b33/Try the visual coaching platform: https://metafox.onlineFind your (physical) Coaching Tool: https://metaFox.euConnect with Tobi on LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/tobiasweghornEpisode Chapters:00:01 Visual Coaching Beyond Graphic Recording00:05 Graphic Facilitation vs. Static Visuals (Interactive, Live, Fast)00:08 From Conference Graphic Recording to Deeper 1:1 Visual Coaching00:13 The “Four Animals”: Studio Work vs. Process Work00:18 How Graphic Recording Works: Listening, Synthesis, and “Gold Nuggets”00:22 What Visuals Do to a Room (Attention, Buffering Intensity, Recall)00:31 Visual Coaching with Individuals: From Strategy to Somatics and Trauma Awareness00:33 SHIFT-IT + Life Map Coaching, Visioning and Action Planning, and Alignment Work00:45 Where to Find Christina (Shift-It-Coach.com)

A coaching podcast with Tim Brownson and Tobias Weghorn exploring values coaching as a practical way to create clarity when clients feel stuck, conflicted, or at odds with other people or their workplace. Tim (aka “The Fully Booked Coach”) breaks down his Clarity Method step-by-step: identifying what’s non-negotiable, using a values ranking exercise to build a core values hierarchy, and then spotting internal and external value conflicts. You’ll also hear why anti-values in coaching matter just as much as “positive” values, and how they can reveal what clients are strongly motivated to move away from. If you’re looking to learn coaching approaches that get concrete quickly, this coaching podcast is a hands-on walkthrough you can borrow for your next session.Key Learnings:Use values coaching to turn “I don’t know what to do” into a clear choice: define the client’s meaning behind each value word, then build a core values hierarchy instead of assuming you both mean the same thing by “freedom,” “integrity,” or “connection.”Run a fast values ranking exercise (pairwise comparisons) to reduce overthinking and surface gut-level priorities; use the resulting values hierarchy to highlight internal and external value conflicts driving the client’s stress or indecision.Add anti-values in coaching by asking “Which is worse for you?” and rank them the same way; use anti-values to explain strong negative reactions (people/companies) and to uncover missing values (e.g., avoiding arrogance can point to valuing authenticity).Resources:Tim Brownson’s Website: https://thefullybookedcoach.com Tim Brownson’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/timbrownson The Clarity Method (Book): https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/45858326-the-clarity-method The online coaching platform Tobi & Tim use on their demo: https://metaFox.online Find your paper-based Coaching Tool: https://metaFox.euConnect with Tobi on LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/tobiasweghornEpisode Chapters:00:00 Anti-Values And Moving Away From What You Don’t Want01:00 Values Coaching, The Clarity Method, And Value Conflicts03:00 Why Values Create Breakthroughs (More Than Other Tools)08:00 The 3 Stages: Define Values, Build A Core Values Hierarchy, Resolve Conflicts12:00 Clarifying What A Value Word Means To The Client18:00 Money Isn’t A Value: What Money Represents27:00 The Values Ranking Exercise (Pairwise Comparisons)34:00 Anti-Values In Coaching: Rank What’s “Worst,” Not What You Prefer41:00 Internal And External Value Conflicts In Real Client Situations51:00 How To Learn Coaching With The Clarity Method (Getting Started)

A coaching podcast with Nils I. Cornelissen and Tobias Weghorn on why leadership coaching in times of transformation starts with the leader, not the org chart. Drawing from his work with executive teams in large corporations, Nils shares why organizational change management so often fails even when the strategy looks “right” on paper. You’ll hear practical ways to stay “above the line” (vs. “below the line”) in difficult conversations, including tiny questions that build ownership and a short centering routine for high-stakes moments. It’s a candid look at emotional intelligence for leaders, self-management, and how to model the mindset you want to see across the organization.Key Learnings:Use leadership coaching to shift ownership back to the team: when someone asks for a solution, respond with “What have you already tried?”, “Who have you talked to?”, and “What do you need from me?” to support adult-to-adult leadership.In executive team coaching, normalize noticing the “above the line below the line mindset”: watch for cues like “I’m right, they’re wrong” or “I’m surrounded by idiots” as early warning signs you’ve slipped into reactive mode.Before a difficult conversation, train emotional intelligence for leaders with a 60-second reset: sigh/breathe out, relax shoulders, feel your stance, then actively generate gratitude and empathy (“Why might their reaction make sense?”) to re-enter a creative state.Resources:Nils I.

On this episode, Tobi meets Julika Franke for a coaching demo that starts as brand positioning and quickly turns into imposter syndrome coaching around stepping into a coach‑trainer role. Julika usually uses her Business Hub approach to map roles, goals, and visibility, revealing to come up with clear positioning and a crisp mission. In Tobi's example they find a way to fit all his hats under the vision statement of metaFox: "A world embracing emotional intelligence". Key Learnings:How a vision statement can serve as north star and unify different roles. How Julika defines a founder‑level role map (visionary, product developer, ambassador, trainer).How this kind of positioning work can be an alternative to mindset coaching for overcoming imposter syndrome.Resources:Julika Franke's Website: https://julika-franke.de/Julika Franke's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/julika-franke/Find your Coaching Tool: https://metaFox.euTry the metaFox Strengths Discovery: https://strengths-discovery.comConnect with Tobi on LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/tobiasweghornEpisode Chapters:00:00 Opening: Emotional Intelligence And Identity Friction01:00 Coaching Demo Setup: From Positioning To Imposter Syndrome03:00 The Business Hub: Structuring Brand Positioning06:00 Meta Fox Inner Journey And Tools For Emotional Intelligence Coaching12:00 Training Roots: MBTI And Early Facilitation15:00 Naming The Imposter Syndrome Coaching Challenge18:00 Mission, Roles, And Personal Branding For Coaches25:00 Two Worlds Collide: Engineering Vs Coaching Identity35:00 From Clarity To Market: Positioning, Offer, And Visibility41:00 Rethinking The Coaching Industry And Value Focus

On this 'Making of a Coach', Tobi meets career coach and coach trainer Lucy Higgins for a coaching demo that explores restlessness using the saboteur assessment from Positive Intelligence. Drawing on the Introduction, we frame Lucy’s directive career change program for ambitious mothers and how she resolves blockers like unhelpful beliefs with lightweight mindset tools. Together, Lucy and Tobi run a live coaching demo around the Restless and Hyper‑Achiever patterns, aiming for presence and peace of mind during early parenthood. You’ll hear how a shared language from Positive Intelligence can carry through a coaching journey without needing the full accreditation program.Key Learnings:Integrate the saboteur assessment early to create shared language for your career change program; contract for a short coaching demo and use it to surface “judge + accomplice” patterns like Restless or Hyper‑Achiever.Translate insights into simple mindset tools: name the trigger thought, thank the saboteur’s old survival role, then practice a “switch‑off” ritual that redirects attention to meaningful connection (e.g., family time) using Positive Intelligence language.Build the client’s “healthy voice” from values and strengths; borrow Adult state from transactional analysis and ventral vagal cues to anchor presence, and repeat the coaching demo language in follow‑ups to reinforce new habits.Resources:Lucy Higgins’s Website: https://lucyhigginscoaching.co.uk/Lucy Higgins’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucy-higgins-coaching/Positive Intelligence's Saboteur Assessment: https://www.positiveintelligence.com/saboteurs/Find your Coaching Tool: https://metaFox.euTry the metaFox Strengths Discovery: https://strengths-discovery.comConnect with Tobi on LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/tobiasweghornEpisode Chapters:00:00 Seeking Peace Of Mind And Restlessness00:02 Intro: Lucy’s Directive Career Change Program00:05 Mindset Tools And When To Use The Saboteur Assessment00:09 How The Positive Intelligence Test Works00:13 Choosing The Restless Saboteur00:18 Coaching Demo Goal: Presence Over Restlessness00:21 Judge And Accomplice Saboteurs Explained00:26 Costs Of Restlessness And Finding Balance00:30 Switching Off: What Already Works For Tobi00:37 Beyond The Tool: TA And Polyvagal In Practice

On this 'Making of a Coach', Tobi meets Lucy Higgins to unpack real "Frequently Asked Questions" from aspiring coaches wanting to become a coach. Drawing on her work training cohorts of new coaches at Animas in the UK and her own practice, Lucy digs into client acquisition strategies, whether to niche, and the true timeline of coaching business building. They also explore coaching pricing models, the balance between directive and non‑directive work, why supervision matters and when ICF/EMCC accreditation helps (and when it doesn’t).Key Learnings:Define a precise client avatar and map “Hell Island to Heaven Island” outcomes; choose outreach where those clients already are (e.g., LinkedIn, events), then prioritize referrals - practical client acquisition strategies to become a coach who consistently books calls.Run an 80/20 split: 80% delivering, 20% building; set up simple systems early (e.g. Calendly or similar tools for scheduling) to compound your coaching business building.Calibrate fees to client segment and outcomes, then review quarterly; consider sliding scales and raise rates as evidence and confidence grow - your working “coaching pricing models.” If you target corporates or platforms, evaluate ICF/EMCC accreditation requirements first.Resources:Lucy Higgins's Website: https://lucyhigginscoaching.co.uk/Lucy Higgins's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucyhigginscoaching/Animas Centre for Coaching: https://www.animascoaching.comInternational Coaching Federation (ICF): https://coachingfederation.orgEMCC Global: https://www.emccglobal.orgAssociation for Coaching (AC): https://www.associationforcoaching.comCalendly: https://calendly.comCoachHub: https://www.coachhub.comBetterUp: https://www.betterup.comFind your Coaching Tool: https://metaFox.euTry the metaFox Strengths Discovery: https://strengths-discovery.comConnect with Tobi on LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/tobiasweghornEpisode Chapters:00:00 Teaser: Hell Island To Heaven Island00:02 Why This Coach‑Trainer FAQ Episode00:10 Client Acquisition Strategies: Avatar, Channels, Referrals00:13 Coaching Business Building Timeline And Buffer00:15 Should I Niche Or Be The Niche?00:17 Selling As A Helper, Not A Salesperson00:19 Coaching Pricing Models And Sliding Scales00:25 Systems That Save Time: Calendly, Xero, SEO00:36 Directive vs Non‑Directive Coaching00:40 Coaching Accreditation: ICF, EMCC, AC

This is a German Original Episode. For its English version, click here!In dieser Folge von Making of a Coach spricht Tobi mit Dr. Ronald Franke, dem Mitgründer des LINC Personality Profilers. Gemeinsam zeichnen sie nach, wie aus einem Psychologiestudenten ein Coach, Forscher und Unternehmer wurde. Neben einem tiefen Einblick in Persönlichkeit und Coaching entwickelt sich das Gespräch zu einer unternehmerischen Reise durch die Coaching-Branche – von kulturpsychologischer Forschung bis hin zur Entwicklung eines B2B-Tools, das heute von über 5.000 Coaches genutzt wird und jährlich mehr als 40.000 Auswertungen ermöglicht.Unterwegs beleuchten die beiden, welche Rolle Persönlichkeitsanalysen im echten Coaching – jenseits von Auswertungs-Gesprächen – spielen und warum typbasierte Instrumente gegenüber eigenschaftsbasierten Ansätzen an ihre Grenzen stoßen.Key Learnings:Eigenschaftsorientiert statt typbasiert: Nutze Modelle wie die Big Five, um Coaching-Ziele mit Persönlichkeitsmustern zu verknüpfen. Wo es passt, kann der LINC Personality Profiler in Führungs- oder Teamkontexten helfen, Einsichten zu beschleunigen – ohne Coaching zu ersetzen.Testen vor Skalieren: Wer Dienstleistungen rund um Persönlichkeitsanalysen aufbaut, sollte Zahlungsbereitschaft früh mit kleinen Experimenten und einem MVP prüfen, bevor digitale Produkte skaliert werden.Stabilität durch B2B: Für nachhaltige Umsätze lohnt es sich, im Unternehmenskontext anzusetzen – etwa durch Zertifizierungen, kombinierte Angebote aus Auswertung und Coaching für HR und Führungskräfteentwicklung, und Erfolgsmessung über die Umsetzung vereinbarter Maßnahmen.Ressourcen:Mehr zu LINC: https://linc.deRonald auf LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-ronald-franke-b5360123/Big-Five-Modell: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Five_(Psychologie)Finde dein Coaching Tool: https://metaFox.euStärken im Coaching: https://strengths-discovery.comTobi auf LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/tobiasweghornEpisode Chapters:01:58 Die Entstehung des LINC Personality Profilers02:56 Von der Wissenschaft zum Coaching05:02 Herausforderungen und Learnings im Unternehmertum07:57 Die Rolle der Persönlichkeit im Coaching16:10 Entwicklung und Anwendung des LINC Profilers41:09 Unternehmenskultur und internationale Expansion44:46 Lightning Round Fragerunde zum Abschluss
