What really creates change - in coaching, in leadership, and in life?
Highly Relational
Season 4 - Episode 5
All Right Now - The Paradox of Change
with John Leary-Joyce
In this episode, host Robert Digings is joined by John Leary-Joyce, one of the UK’s foremost Gestalt practitioners and pioneers of Gestalt coaching. Founder and CEO of the Academy of Executive Coaching (AoEC), co-founder of the Gestalt Centre London, and author of The Fertile Void: Gestalt Coaching at Work, John has spent more than 45 years developing and teaching relational, embodied ways of working.
Together, Robert and John explore how Gestalt principles - awareness, contact, embodiment, and presence - translate from therapy and personal development into leadership, team coaching, and organisational life.
In this conversation, they discuss:
John’s message is timeless: real change begins in the present moment. When we stop striving and simply allow ourselves to be, the relationship - and the learning - takes care of itself.
