In this week's episode we hear from our Frank and Fearless associate coach Kelly Feehan who talks to us about questions. She tells some of her top questions that she has been asked in coaching and the ones she asks a coach.

In this week's episode I talk to coach and EOS® Implementer Roger Vertannes. Roger discusses his approach to working with over 400 businesses and some key messages that he has gained from this vast experience. Key to this episode is Roger's explanation of the importance of clarity for your business. We talk about the difference between working in and on your business and the power that a clarity break can have. The topics of trust, speaking our truth and the importance of space and time for business owners are discussed and I know that this episode will have an impact for you.  About Roger: Roger Vertannes is the Founder of Leadership Counts and is a leading Certified EOS® Implementer.

This week's episode is in response to Prince Harry's comments that employers should be giving employees time for themselves to do the 'inner work' during the work day. I've been thinking about what self care might look like for organisations and for individuals and whose responsibility it is to ensure it takes place. I cover the following: What does self care mean to you?When is the right time or place you have to replenish yourself?What do you need to make you the best version of you?As a manager and leader what is within your remit to give to others.How as leaders can we model behaviour that shows self careDifferent flexible working models moving forward to support this I'd love to hear your thoughts about self care in general but more specifically how do you ensure that as a leader you look after yourself and those who work for you. Is it even appropriate for all of this to happen in the working day? I can't wait to hear from you.   About Adam: I work with CEO’s, managing directors, their boards and leadership teams as well as aspiring leaders who want to climb the corporate ladder.
