Welcome to ”Leading with Presence,” a podcast dedicated to guiding professionals and leaders through the art and science of presence in leadership and life. Hosted by Stephen Clements, formerly known as The Curious Coach, this show embarks on a new journey, expanding its horizons while continuing to explore deep questions and insights into personal and professional development. Every two weeks, ”Leading with Presence” offers two distinct episodes designed to enrich your leadership journey: Mindful Moments: A guided meditation or mindfulness exercise to ground you in the present, fostering tranquility, focus, and awareness in your daily life. Insights and Strategies: A companion episode that delves into themes from the latest edition of the ”Leading with Presence” LinkedIn newsletter. Here, Stephen unpacks practical strategies, cutting-edge research, and personal reflections to enhance your self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and, ultimately, your presence as a leader. Whether you’re a seasoned leader seeking to refine your approach or a professional striving for greater balance and fulfillment, ”Leading with Presence” invites you on a transformative journey. Discover the power of presence, learn to navigate life’s complexities with grace, and lead with authenticity and impact. ”Leading with Presence” has evolved from the beloved ”The Curious Coach” podcast, carrying forward its spirit of curiosity into new realms of exploration and growth.

In this full-length interview episode, I had the pleasure of talking with Sonya Shellard, a UK based executive coach, trainer, supervisor, Managing Director, and co-founder #RideTheWave – a professional coach training provider with a coaching model built around the wave metaphor. And you’ll hear that metaphor bubble up all the way through this wonderful conversation. Aside from discovering more about #RideTheWave, we also explored how she left the corporate world and continued her own journey into coaching; her passion for connection, community and diversity, and touch briefly on the Association for Coaching.
