Coaching, leadership development, and personal growth collide in this episode of The Coaching Edge Podcast featuring Alex Verlek, a Dutch certified coach, author, and co-active practitioner with nearly 20 years of experience. Hosts Dr. Steve Jeffs and Erwin de Grave sit down with Alex to explore why the so-called comfort zone is not comfortable at all.
Alex introduces what he calls the zone of self-limitation, the shrinking box created when early messages from parents, teachers, and society compress our authentic range. He also shares his awareness cycle framework: awareness leads to choice, choice leads to action, action produces learning, and learning generates new awareness.
The conversation moves into impact and legacy, with Alex making the case that there is no such thing as not having an impact, and that the relevant question for any leader is: what impact do you want to have? He also addresses the future of coaching and why AI is an invitation to add another layer of creativity to the profession rather than a threat to it.
