In this episode, we sit down with Paul Wyman, a coach and author who gets into the practice of embracing and integrating different parts of oneself. Paul opens up about the internal struggle he faced while writing his book "Part of Me," emphasizing the battle with perfectionism and self-imposed pressures. Throughout the discussion, Paul introduces frameworks such as voice dialogue and polarity management to encourage accepting and managing various internal contradictions. He stresses the importance of seeing internal parts not as saboteurs but as allies, and how this understanding forms the core of his coaching philosophy.

Paul shares his unique coaching style, which doesn't strictly adhere to traditional ICF standards. Instead, he offers ideas and frameworks without insisting on agreement, fostering a more open and exploratory approach. He discusses the concept of the "inner leader" and how recognizing different parts of oneself can lead to profound self-awareness and growth. Paul’s metaphor of an inner team helps clients visualize and manage their internal dialogues, promoting a balanced and curious mindset.
