Podcast episode (#137) — host Heather Monahan interviews executive life coach Beth Handel (co-founder, Handel Group). Key themes: how negative inner dialogue (Beth cites research: ~80% of thoughts are negative and repetitive) shapes behavior and results; Handel Method’s core internal voices — the Chicken (avoider), the Brat (defiant), and the Weather Reporter (excuse-maker) — and techniques to identify and shut them down; how executive life coaching integrates personal and professional development (high accountability, action-focused change); strategies for maintaining engagement and human connection during pandemic remote work (mandatory video, shorter workshops, creative community rituals); building trust and honest cultures in organizations. Includes Beth’s announcement of a free two-hour “Designing Your Dreams / Getting Out Of Your Own Way” workshop on August 19 (12:30 PM ET). Several sponsor ad reads are interleaved.
