Crap to Kick A** Coach Podcast

From Elite Sport to Vistage: Graham Thompson on Peer Group Leadership Coaching and Authentic Business Development Rebecca interviews Graham Thompson on the Crap To Kickass Coach podcast. Speaking from Indonesia while based in Scotland, Graham explains his work as a Vistage chair running three peer advisory groups (CEOs/business owners/MDs, leaders reporting to CEOs, and smaller business owners) plus an emerging leaders program, combining monthly group days with monthly 1:1 coaching. He shares how his elite sport performance-director background (including curling and water polo) prepared him to coach across industries by focusing on people, mindset, and navigating non-linear growth. Graham recounts entering Vistage via networking in 2019, training moving online in 2020, and the challenge of self-led member recruitment and business development. He describes a referral-led approach using LinkedIn for research and handwritten letters, emphasizing relationships, coffee meetings, and long-term follow-up, and closes by saying he wouldn't change his life given recent personal transitions.   https://www.linkedin.com/in/graeme-thompson92/ https://vistage.co.uk/     00:00 Podcast Welcome 01:05 Vistage Coaching Overview 02:13 From Elite Sport to Business 04:13 Curling Olympics Chat 06:21 Leaving Sport and Finding Vistage 07:35 Learning Business Development 11:52 Building a Referral Engine 12:55 Handwritten Letters Strategy 14:06 Why Letters Convert 15:05 Letter Outreach Results 16:15 Authentic Handwritten Touch 17:19 Follow Up With Confidence 18:37 Make Prospecting Fun 19:00 LinkedIn Over Websites 20:13 Coffee Chats Win Business 21:10 Long Game Relationships 23:07 Coaching Journey Privilege 24:22 Community Beyond Membership 25:19 One Year Left Question 26:07 Warm Farewell

About Angeline:   "From Victim to Victor: Helping Women Break Free, Heal, and Step Into Their Power   Have you been carrying the weight of the past for far too long—feeling powerless, fearing the unknown, and questioning your every decision?   I see you. I know the exact feeling because I've lived it, too.   For years, I was trapped—silenced by self-doubt, fear, and the scars of an abusive past. Walking away from an abusive relationship was the hardest yet best decision I ever made—because I finally chose myself. It was my first step toward freedom, healing, and rediscovering my inner power.   The truth is, I didn't do it alone. I had to invest deeply in my personal growth, working with a support system and dedicated mentors who helped me break free from negative beliefs and pushed me to become the best version of myself.   This can be you, too!   My purpose is to help women like you rebuild from the ground up and rewrite their own beautiful stories." ~ Angeline Constantinou   Join us to hear her conversation with Rebecca.   https://www.linkedin.com/in/angelinemitchell/ https://letsbreakthesilence.com/ https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/angeline-mitchell https://www.youtube.com/user/PeakPerformanceEnt/featured?view_as=subscriber&app=desktop https://www.facebook.com/angeline.constantinou https://www.instagram.com/lets_breakthesilence/?igshid=9du5tn3cjvn5   Timestamps: [3:00] Can you give our audience a run through of the type of coaching you provide to your clients?

Chris has 25 years' experience in and around the coaching world. First, training and coaching for Dale Carnegie in the US and UK, then in sales and delivery leadership roles in outplacement and career coaching organisations. His current role is Global Marketing Lead for transition and coaching solutions at Randstad RiseSmart, while also being on the verge of completing his ICF coach accreditation.   Chris saw the value of coaching following two layoffs in the early 2000's, where he had career coaching. Since then, he has always thought being a coach would form part of his career at some point, which is now coming to fruition.   Following the idea that coaches often 'coach who they used to be', Chris has applied his learning from his own squiggly career, several bumps in the road during his forties and his interest in design thinking to his coaching practice.   He's now developing his own model of midlife transition coaching and posts regularly on the five major challenges most people experience in their forties and fifties and how to address them.   https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisperkins172/ https://open.spotify.com/show/6967q36X90Kv3CrqsVaXYf https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-gen-x-z-exchange/id1824106629 Timestamps: [2:10] Tell us what you were doing 30 years ago when we met in person the first time, and what have you been doing since the early 2000's [6:55] Many who join us have left the 9 to 5 either by choice or by redundancy, are 45+, kids are older or have left home.
