Competency No. 5
Around 4% of the 55,000 + coaches certified with the International Coaching Federation hold the revered status of Master Certified Coach. Why so few? I'm about to find out. Competency No. 5, the podcast, explores how we maintain presence when we coach, lead, and live our lives. We interview coaches and others whose very livelihood depends upon staying calm and present with those they serve. We also chronicle my attempts (as a self-retired professor and global business reporter from New Zealand) to become an MCC coach. This effort requires beaucoup coaching hours, mentoring, and adhering strictly to the ICF's seven core competencies, especially the deceptively tricky Competency No. 5, maintaining presence.

Growing things gives us inner strength: Pamela Currall on finding peace in her garden
Such a lovely way to launch season two for Competency No 5, my podcast focused on finding calm when we coach, lead, and live our lives.
Meet Lady Pamela at the Sea, AKA Pamela Currall, a retired practice nurse in New Zealand. She’s also my dear Mum, and in our delightful interview (which takes place in her garden off of the Kapiti Coast) she shares the joy and tranquility that comes from gardening.
Pamela’s immensely talented at this craft. She finds gardening and making something stunning from something bland, not only uplifts, brings confidence, she finds tranquility, too—something we can all benefit from, especially as life gets too busy.
