Summary

This is the Arete Coach Podcast where we explore the art and science of executive coaching. This week we introduce the third installment of the "Coach Wisdom from Wise Women" series, wherein host Severin Sorensen explores the insights and experiences of three exceptional female executive coaches and Vistage Chairs: Michelle Barry, Bridget Wendman, and Kathy Fitzhenry. These accomplished Vistage chairs share their unique journeys into coaching, their approaches to heart-centered leadership, and how they balance intuition with structure in their practices.

The episode delves into ten key themes, including heart-centered leadership, lifelong learning, diverse backgrounds leading to coaching, innovative techniques, and the power of questioning. Each coach offers valuable perspectives on creating safe spaces for clients, empowering other women, adapting to change, and measuring success.

Highlights include Michelle Barry's hockey metaphor for anticipating change in business, Bridget Wendman's "grace, not grief" philosophy, and Kathy Fitzhenry's innovative use of characters to explain different aspects of leadership. The episode also features powerful questions these coaches use to provoke thought and growth in their clients.

Sorensen concludes by reflecting on the common threads of authenticity and compassion running through these coaches' work, emphasizing that effective coaching is ultimately about human connection, growth, and courage. This episode offers inspiration and practical wisdom for coaches, business leaders, and anyone interested in personal growth and leadership.

If you've been inspired by these snippets of wisdom and would like to dive deeper into each coach's story and methodology, I encourage you to listen to their full individual episodes.
