  S6 Episode 45: Why Coaches Must Stop Playing Not to Lose with Zana Goic Petricevic 16.09.2026 37min

  Most leaders don’t fail because they lack skill. They fail because they keep playing not to lose. What about coaches? Do we accidentally play to lose?   In this episode of The Coaching Inn, Claire Pedrick talks with Zana Goic-Petričević, author of Leading on the Edge: The Bold Art of Being More Irrational and Less Mediocre.    Zana shares how losing her corporate job became a turning point, prompting her to rethink safety, identity, ambition, and what it means to lead boldly. Together, they explore why excessive rationality can become fear in disguise, how discomfort can provide valuable data, and why real safety comes from within rather than from a job title, salary, or organisation.   You’ll also discover: How to distinguish fear from intuition and meaningful risk Why coaches must confront their own edges The difference between compassion and pity How self-compassion supports honest, effective coaching Why boldness is about contribution—not aggression How to stop settling for mediocrity and “good enough”   If you coach leaders, lead a team, or feel ready for greater courage and aliveness, this conversation will challenge you to ask: What am I avoiding, and what is worth the risk?   Here are Zana’s books: Bold Reinvented: Next level leading with Courage, Consciousness and Conviction https://link.amazon/B0fB67C1K  Leading on the Edge: The bold art of being more irrational and less mediocre https://link.amazon/B05SgWb3l    Contact: Contact Zana through Linked In https://www.linkedin.com/in/zanagoicpetricevic/ Contact Claire by emailing [email protected]  or join our coaching community where you can talk with other listeners.

  S6 Episode 44: The Yes-And Mindset That Changes Coaching Conversations with Chris Grimes 09.09.2026 50min

  If your coaching, conversations, or presentations feel a little too busy, this episode is a masterclass in what happens when you slow down, listen deeply, and know exactly when to stop. Chris Grimes - motivational comedian, coach, broadcaster, and improviser - shows why the simplest shifts in timing, silence, and presence can transform the way people think, speak, and connect.   Today Claire Pedrick and Chris Grimes unpack the improv principle of yes, and as a powerful coaching mindset, exploring why collaboration beats interrogation, why people often listen to reply instead of understand, and how the right question is sometimes no question at all. Chris introduces his idea of The Clearing - the uncluttered space where insight, story, and creativity emerge - and explains how coaching, comedy, and deep listening all come alive there.   You’ll discover: why “if you can’t top it, stop it” is a brilliant rule for coaching and communication how timing shapes everything from a joke to a breakthrough conversation why silence can carry more authority than talking what improv teaches us about ensemble, vulnerability, and making other people look good how Chris uses storytelling frameworks like 54321, Pass the Golden Baton, and Legacy Life Reflections to surface meaningful insight Claire and Chris also explore the danger of becoming too mechanical in a world where AI can already imitate process, and the human qualities that still make coaching irreplaceable - warmth, kindness, presence, and the courage to be imperfect.    Chris Grimes is a coach, facilitator, and motivational comedian, and the founder of Second Curve, The Good Listening To Show, and Instant Wit, his Bristol-based comedy improvisation company. His work blends performance, listening, and leadership into a style that is as practical as it is unforgettable. Essential listening if you coach, lead, speak, facilitate, or simply want to have better conversations.

  S6 Episode 43: The Power of the Pause - Comedy, Coaching, and Being Real with Sharon von Stimson 02.09.2026 36min

  In this episode of The Coaching Inn, Claire Pedrick speaks with Sharon Von Stimson, a stand-up comedian and coach, about how comedy and coaching intersect through being real, timing, and the power of the pause.   Sharon shares her unusual career journey, moving from a conventional 30-year career in corporate HR into stand-up comedy and then coaching. What began as a search for a more authentic life became a portfolio career that blends comedy, coaching, and a little bit of HR. Along the way, she reflects on midlife change and experiences that reshaped her understanding of who she is and how she wants to live.   The conversation explores how comedy and coaching both rely on noticing what is happening in the room. In comedy, that means reading audience reaction, building resonance, and knowing when to create a twist. In coaching, it means paying close attention to the thinker’s response, allowing silence, and creating space for a thought or insight to emerge.    Sharon’s message is clear: the pause matters, honesty matters, and sometimes everything has to break before we realize we were never broken.   Contact: Contact Sharon through Linked In https://www.linkedin.com/in/sharonvonsimson/  Contact Claire by emailing [email protected]  or join our coaching community where you can talk with other listeners.
