Welcome to Episode #172 of The Coaching Podcast! This week, we’re thrilled to be joined by Toby Jenkins, a dynamic executive coach, speaker, Olympian, and entrepreneur with a mission: to change the world’s relationship with suffering. Toby’s journey has taken him from the Olympic pool to the boardroom, where he’s helped shape the mental resilience of everyone from military elites to tech founders. In our conversation, we explore the transformative power of psychological flexibility, discuss what it means to shift from 'harder, tougher, stronger' to a mindset of alignment, and dive into the nuances of performance behavior and acceptance commitment therapy. Get ready for an episode packed with deep insights and powerful tools to elevate your coaching approach.

Who – If not me, who?Now – If not now, when?Goal – Gold medal8.21: Stoic Philosophy (Choice of Response) - The only control we have is the choices that we make. “If we can’t control our reaction, how do we choose our response.”9.05: Psychological Flexibility“As an Olympian – I thought I needed to be harder, tougher, stronger.”How can we help people rather than run through brick walls, instead, how do we help them become trampolines?This is the core shift in perspective of the performance mindset.“Buddha said that life is suffering and I tend to agree!” So how do we open up to that, acknowledge that, and still experience the joy?11.35: What would you say to the coach who has had success with the ‘harder, tougher, stronger’ approach? It’s one tool in the coaching toolkit. It’s not the absence of one, it’s the presence of both.13.26: Defining Psychological Flexibility as your ability to shift your attention. Derived from ACT which stands for:Acceptance Commitment TherapyOpen up, be present, and do what matters because performance behavior is contextual.15.32: Performance Behavior is defined as doing the thing that is less comfortable.

About Hilary Blair - Activating the Talent Within Your Organization
Being authentic and present is essential in the business world today. Presence is active and fluid, not a destination or a box to be checked on a leadership development form. It’s similar to balance needing nuanced adjustments to remain connected and in relationship. Presence is a verb.
I'm a leadership communication consultant and coach who brings years of professional experience as a business owner, entrepreneur, and artist to every interaction. So I understand leadership growth and team development firsthand which deeply influences our programs and coaching. Our sweet spot is supporting the larger and midsized companies that are seeking to activate the power of the individuals on their teams – you hired or promoted them because you see the potential and we assure it’s surfaced and embodied.
When not on the road, I can be found gardening–or since I live in Colorado–covering plants to protect them from hail. I also enjoy hiking, golfing, and curling up with a novel and a dog.

I live in Honolulu, with my two daughters (9y and 17 mo) and my husband who is a college tennis coach at the University of Hawaii. I enjoy working (I genuinely do!), spending time at the beach and surfing, exercising, and doing absolutely nothing.

About Jennifer Fraser
Jennifer Fraser has a PhD in Comparative Literature from the University of Toronto where she was trained to take different discourses out of their silos, and put them into an arena together, to see if the conversation changed. When she put bullying/abuse and neuroscience into the arena for her fourth book, she was shocked. As an award-winning educator of over 20 years, Jennifer feels strongly that all teachers, parents, coaches, and business leaders need to know what hurts brains and what empowers them. Her 2022 book, "The Bullied Brain: Heal Your Scars and Restore Your Health" is described by one of the world's most highly-awarded neuroscientists, Dr. Michael Merzenich as "THE most completely scientifically thorough treatment of the subject on planet earth." Jennifer has a new book forthcoming in the fall of 2025: "Shattered Brains: How Gaslighting Impacts the Mind & Proven Ways to Stay Safe & Sane."

Be ready for an episode like never before on The Coaching Podcast with this fascinating guest, Tony Latimer, a Master Executive Coach. Tony shares his insights on a variety of topics, such as learning how to listen from your subconscious so that you can coach at the speed of thought which operates on a Quantum Physics level.

Get ready for a conversation filled with profound insights, practical advice, and innovative ideas that will enhance your coaching journey. Put your notebooks away, trust your memory recall, and listen deeply to this episode, if you want to learn how to become a master coach!
Here are the summary points;
1.05: Sushi or tempura?2.40: Following coaching models "V" coaching at the speed of thought happens on two levels:1) Newtonian Physics - We are using our key senses to coach.Or if you want to get to the "black belt" level in coaching you have to let go of the models.2) Quantum physics - what is the degree of energy that you are able to bring to your coaching?5.10: How can a coach prepare to be fully present for a coaching session?When you are learning to coach - you are letting go of being the problem-solverMastery - you need to let go of the need for the problem to be solved at allLearning how to listen from your sub-conscious (all mind-state experiences are stored) helps to sharpen everything8.39: "We experience a physical manifestation of the emotional content of the neural pathway that we are currently accessing." This process helps us to re-awaken energetically with people. 10.12: Your thoughts are physical. They are electrochemical signals on neural pathways in your brain.12.21: Practice 3 times a day for 2 or 3 months: It takes 8 seconds to recall an empty mind!14.16: How can a coach be comfortable in silence?Train your sub-conscious to listen for:Keywords that have behind them emotions, values, and beliefs that could be blocking them from moving forward.Judgments = are a conscious awareness reaction20.40: Stop taking notes! "Your ears and your mouth do not work at the same time."No one has a memory storage problem - it is generally a memory recall problem.There is seemingly no limit as to what you can teach your brain to do for you.25.59: Disruptive coaching idea (2030)?Never use this sentence again: "AI will never be able to <insert however you make your living>!"Human coaches are going to need to coach at an energetic level. 32.14: What makes a great coach?Listening and Energy!32.56: What is your connection to The Inner Game of Tennis?Performance Equation: Performance = Potential - Interference
37.22: Stop saying "I believe in you," instead say: "I know you can do this."38.09: 3 possible interferences:1) Skill - do they know how to do it (knowledge and confidence). 2) Environmental - anything outside of the person that impacts their ability to do it. 3) Aspiration - be careful here because you may get a false positive.40.01: "This is why we focus everything in coaching on behaviors, not mindset. You can get a mindset change from re-engineering from behaviors."41.43: How to start a coaching conversation. "People can't go anywhere if they don't know where they are." Find out what's the real issue here.43.41: Coaching is getting absolute clarity on where they are now, absolute clarity on where they need to be, and working out (at the speed of thought at a sub-conscious level) what they need to do differently to get from here to there.To learn more about becoming a workplace coach or advancing your coaching skills, visit: www.coachem.cc or email Sarah: [email protected]

Trust = Co3Re3
Trust is Co3Re3 = [Communication x Cooperation x Commitment] x [Reciprocity x Results x Rewards]. Trust evolves from one element to the other: Communication leads to Cooperation, which leads to Commitment… Reciprocity (trust but verify, keeping it fair) leads to Results and Rewards. The impact is exponential (to the cube).The alignment of these Co3Re3 factors makes Trust in Teams exponentially powerful. It allows people to create common languages that IGNITES high positive energy and pride to attain meaningful achievements. 21.07: Book: The Glass is Full and a Half - A Memoir of Transformation by Carlos Salum"We cannot be creative if we don't allow ourselves permission to play!"
