Coaching and The F Word
Coaching and The F Word is a straight-talking podcast about the moments that shape our lives, careers, confidence, and leadership.
Hosted by two experienced coaches and former accountants — Andrew Weakford, specialising in midlife transformation and John Ferguson, in finance leadership — this podcast explores the real stories behind growth, change, and stepping up. Each episode tackles a different “F word” that shows up in life and work: from First Steps, Failure, Fear, and Feedback to Future, Framing, and beyond.
This isn’t theory. It’s practical, honest conversation grounded in lived experience — what it really takes to move forward when things feel uncertain, uncomfortable, or stuck.
Whether you're a mid-career professional, an aspiring finance leader, or simply someone navigating change, you’ll find insights you can actually use:
· How to build confidence and take action
· How to handle failure and reframe setbacks
· How to give and receive feedback effectively
· How to develop a growth mindset in your career
· How to step into leadership with clarity and intent
Expect real conversations, relatable stories, and coaching insights that help you think differently — and act with purpose.
If you're ready to stop overthinking and start moving forward, this podcast is for you.
