<![CDATA[How to Become a Successful Coach]]>Real coaches. Real stories.

Host Rashid Mubashir sits down with the coaches behind real change and goes deep on their world. One week it is relationships and the hidden wounds we carry into them. The next it is leadership, confidence, or the quiet shift that changes how someone shows up in their life. Whatever the niche, Rashid draws out the genuine insight behind it, the kind you can actually take away and use, along with the honest story of how each guest got here.

Because none of them started at the top. They had the same doubts, the same fears, the same quiet wondering about whether they were good enough to do this. This show is the real version of that journey: the turning points, the setbacks, the moment it finally clicked, and the lives they have helped change along the way.

If you have ever felt there is more in you, if you love a good story of someone betting on themselves, or if you have quietly wondered whether coaching could be your path, this show is for you. Press play, and see what becomes possible.

Marejka Knigge on hyper-independence, and what it is protecting.

IN THIS EPISODE
Marejka Knigge is a Transformational Mindset and Manifestation Coach who works with women building a life that is actually theirs. She and Rashid get into mindset as the internal map that drives the bus, why so many of us chase goals that were never ours, and the difference between coping, pushing through and swallowing the feelings, and capacity, growing big enough to hold what life brings.

CHAPTERS
0:00 Welcome, and meet Marejka
1:53 Why mindset became her work
3:11 Mindset as your internal map
6:13 The chasm she had to bridge
11:50 Hyper independence as protection
13:33 "It looks good on paper"
26:06 Coping or capacity
32:35 Starting with the body
45:02 Her three tips

KEY TAKEAWAYS
1. Hyper independence is protection. If you only rely on yourself, no one can hurt, reject or abandon you. The need for connection is still there underneath.
2. Some of the goals we chase are not ours. They are the needs other people put on us. The word "should" is usually the tell.
3. Coping is pushing through and swallowing the feelings. Capacity is building enough room in yourself to feel it and keep going.
4. Fear is doing its job. The nervous system pulls us back to safe, which is why most people talk themselves out of growth.
5. The path to your authentic self is not a straight line. It is a messy one, and compassion for the mess is what keeps you on it.

Antonietta Muraca says the two are the same conversation.

Explore more at https://www.howtobecomeasuccessfulcoach.com

IN THIS EPISODE
Antonietta Muraca spent her career as an accountant before becoming a coach who helps women build wealth and financial confidence. She and Rashid look at why so many capable women hold the family together and still keep their distance from the financial decisions, where our money story comes from, and why asking for the pay rise can feel harder than earning it. Antonietta also walks through the four buckets she teaches, starting with the first thousand dollars, and asks the question she leaves every woman with: what does your rich life actually look like?

CHAPTERS
0:00 Welcome, and meet Antonietta
2:05 Why your net worth starts with self worth
3:09 The distance women keep from money decisions
8:27 Where your money story comes from
14:21 Too afraid to ask for the pay rise
15:30 The conversation Rashid had at home
19:37 Aligned love, aligned wealth
21:57 The four buckets
35:10 Define your rich life

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  1. Money is a reflection of how we feel about ourselves. What we believe we are capable of receiving shows up in what we have.
  2. Many of us were taught to budget and never taught to invest. The further we sit from the financial decisions, the further we sit from what is possible.
  3. Everyone carries a money story, usually inherited. Asking what you grew up learning about money is where it starts to change.
  4. You do not need a lot to begin. Small, consistent steps compound, and it is never too late to start.
  5. Antonietta's four buckets: an emergency fund, your super, your home, then investing beyond that. Start with the first one.

Andrea Buck on the masks we wear, and the genius underneath.

IN THIS EPISODE

Andrea Buck is a coach and a lifetime member of the International Coaching Institute. She and Rashid explore why we put the mask on, how the rules we absorb early become the rules we live by, and how to tell fear from your own voice.


CHAPTERS

0:00 Welcome, and meet Andrea
0:54 Why we put the mask on
1:46 The first seven years, and where shame begins
9:47 How do you know when you are being authentic?
15:08 The tram, and the body that said no
17:00 From authenticity to essence
27:19 Defining success on your own terms
39:10 Three ways to start today


KEY TAKEAWAYS

  1. The mask goes on early. Most of us learned that showing up as we are was not safe, so we adjusted to fit.
  2. Fear and doubt are loud. Your essence is quieter, so hearing it takes slowing down.
  3. There is a difference between the challenge of something that matters, and the drag of a life that is not yours.
  4. Success defined by other people can be reached in full and still feel empty.
  5. Andrea's three starts: ask five people what is special about you, notice when you lose track of time, and name what matters most to you.

Remi Pearson, founder of The Coaching Institute, goes deep on attachment.
Explore more at https://www.howtobecomeasuccessfulcoach.com

IN THIS EPISODE
Remi Pearson is the founder of The Coaching Institute and one of the pioneers of coaching in Australasia. In one of the show's most profound conversations, she and Rashid go deep into attachment: why we love the way we do, how the patterns we formed as children quietly run our adult relationships, and what it takes to move from anxious or avoidant to secure.

CHAPTERS
0:00 Welcome, and meet Remi
2:25 What an attachment style really is
9:59 Anxious and avoidant: the two sides of the dance
14:59 The protest and retreat cycle
37:07 The first steps to changing your pattern
47:29 Secure attachment: feeling okay within yourself
52:56 The swimming pool: a picture of the dynamic
1:01:37 The loneliness beneath the protest, and where healing begins

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  1. Your attachment style is not who you are. It is a pattern conditioned in childhood that runs over your relationships, and patterns can change.
  2. Most relationship conflict is a dance between anxious and avoidant: one protests, the other retreats, and each move triggers the other.
  3. The behaviour on the surface, the protesting or the shutting down, is a protection. Underneath it is usually fear, and a loneliness we are trying not to feel.
  4. Security is not indifference. It is feeling okay within yourself regardless, and staying present instead of protesting or withdrawing.
  5. Real change comes from staying through the storms, and being with the parts of you that panic rather than acting them out.

IN THIS EPISODE
Marc Wiesner is a Relationship Coach from Melbourne who helps couples rebuild trust and reconnect after years of conflict. He and Rashid explore why couples fall out of love, the three phases every relationship moves through, and the idea that your partner is a mirror, reflecting the parts of yourself you have yet to meet. A tender, honest look at how struggle can become the doorway to growth.


CHAPTERS
0:00 Welcome, and meet Marc
1:50 The three phases every relationship moves through
3:50 Your relationship as a mirror of your disowned self
7:14 Why triggers are turning points, not just conflict
9:14 Attachment styles, and how they shape trust
22:31 Meeting your own needs, and what to lean on a partner for
25:39 Co-regulation: you do not have to do it alone
27:45 Healing the power struggle, and passing it on


KEY TAKEAWAYS

  1. Every relationship moves through phases. Most couples get stuck in the power struggle, and that is where the growth is waiting.
  2. Your partner is a mirror. What triggers you often points to the parts of yourself you have disowned.
  3. Trust breaks less in the dramatic moments and more in the small ones: broken promises, not following through.
  4. Attachment styles are formed early, but they are not a life sentence. With awareness, they can be healed.
  5. The deepest self-love is being with yourself in the hard moments, not just the happy ones. Heal it in yourself, and you pass it on to your children.

Leadership and Performance Consultant Mary Jensen has 40 years of answers.
Explore more at https://www.howtobecomeasuccessfulcoach.com


IN THIS EPISODE
Mary Jensen has spent 40 years in leadership, the good, the bad and the ugly. She rose to financial controller by 25, ran mergers and acquisitions, and was, by her own admission, a control freak and a perfectionist. Then everything changed. She and Rashid unpack why so many capable managers never become leaders, why leadership is an inside job, and how the patterns we form in childhood quietly shape the way we lead.


CHAPTERS
0:00 Welcome, and meet Mary
1:32 Leadership is being, not doing
3:21 From control freak to leader
4:09 Manager or leader? The difference most people miss
10:00 The one thing that changes everything: choice
18:20 Why nobody asks for personal development
22:32 Inspiring buy-in: the reticular activating system
37:44 Psychological safety, and kindness as a tool

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  1. Leadership is not a set of tasks. It is who you choose to be. It lives in the being, not the doing.
  2. Being promoted for your skills makes you a manager, not a leader. Management wants to control. Leadership wants to grow people, and grows you too.
  3. It is not what happens that shapes you, it is what you choose to think about it. The power, and the leadership, is in the choice.
  4. Nobody asks for personal development, because nobody wants to feel broken. Meet people at what they want, and the transformation comes as the bonus.
  5. Kindness is not weakness. It is one of the most practical tools a leader has.
