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.
