At Wise Goose, we believe coaching is more than a set of techniques, it’s a way of engaging with life that opens space for transformation, clarity, and purpose. That’s why we’re excited to share Wise Goose Director Helen Sieroda’s conversation with Chris Nichols on his About Time podcast: “The Helen Sieroda One – Deep Work, Limitless Possibility.”
Why Deep Work Matters in Coaching
In this episode, Helen explores what it means to go beyond surface-level change. Coaching at its best invites leaders and coaches to:
- Reconnect with purpose and values that guide meaningful decisions.
- Pause and reflect in a world that demands constant action.
- Create space for transformation, where new possibilities emerge.
They discuss Helen’s journey through eastern philosophy, psychosynthesis psychology, her coaching philosophy, the impact of her master’s degree, and the importance of action inquiry in leadership development. Helen shared her insights on purpose in business, the challenges of B Corp certification, and the significance of paying attention to the world around us. The conversation also delves into the concept of sub-personalities in leadership and the importance of finding joy in the work we do. Helen reflects on her writing practice and the personal growth that comes from embracing discomfort and creativity.
Key Themes from the Conversation
- Presence as a foundation: How being fully present opens the door to insight and creativity.
- Purpose-led leadership: Why clarity of intention matters in times of complexity.
- The wider field: Understanding the systemic context that shapes how we show up as leaders and coaches.
