Lindsey Lewis was a sensitive child. “The one crying about the bird that fell out of the nest,” as she puts it. Her intimate connection to living things was a challenge early in her life, but in this episode of The Coach’s Journey Podcast she describes how she harnessed the power of her sensitivity to become a passionate, brave and creative coach. Throughout her life as a magazine editor, communications consultant and now as the owner of a thriving coaching business, she has always taught and practiced yoga. She explains the importance of physical bodily awareness to the phenomenal energy she beckons into her coaching sessions. The power of an invitation is a key theme in this episode, and Lindsey explains how she learned to instigate and lead interactions that recognise and reflect the value of what she has to offer her clients. Our conversation comes at an exciting time and Lindsey discusses her work on a documentary that will showcase the work of brilliant people seeking to make positive change in the world – something she is well-placed to promote.  In this episode, we talk about: Easeful conversations Being ‘on path’ and what that can do for our health and our work How to create timely invitations to engage The terrifying, transformative thrill of group experiences How the way we do one thing is the way we do everything Lindsey has a wonderful way of describing the call to adventure, and how to overcome resistance to those ideas that just won’t leave us alone.
