Coaching can be a game changer in moving through the most challenging times in your life (e.g. serious illnesses like cancer). It can allow you to create deeper and more meaningful relationships to yourself and the people you care about.
Our guest in this weeks episode, Ray McGhee, is a former social science researcher that dedicates his time post-retirement to coach individuals and small teams to be true to themselves and live in alignment with what’s meaningful to them.
During the Awaken In-person Coach Certification Course in Spain, he discovered a new path for himself through Coaching. Facing a serious illness like cancer he recognised what truly matters in life — investing in relationships, pursuing passions, and finding joy in every moment. Coaching allowed him to not only deepen his relationships, but also increase the awareness on how he wants to live his passion and purpose in the years he got gifted after curing from cancer.
In the conversation he shares about his approach to coaching, the importance of reciprocity in relationships, and the impact of feeling and sharing about his emotions on his personal growth.
He also shares insights into the spiritual practices that sustain him and how coaching has enriched his personal life, particularly his marriage. Whether you’re a seasoned coach or just curious about the power of coaching, Ray’s story will inspire you to embrace life fully and connect more deeply with others.
Key Takeaways:
- The power of coaching lies in its reciprocal nature—both coach and client grow together.
- Facing serious illness can clarify life’s priorities, making relationships and passions even more valuable.
- Spiritual practices like meditation and prayer provide a strong foundation for navigating life’s challenges.
- Coaching can take unexpected turns, leading to diverse experiences and deep personal growth.
- Embracing emotions, rather than avoiding them, can lead to profound personal development.
