This week on the show, Cynthia Loy Darst, Master Coach, coach trainer, keynote speaker and author of Meet Your Inside Team, joins me Carissa Bub to talk about how to triumph over your hardest client yet, yourself (!), and how to help others to do the same.

In this episode, Cynthia and I cover a range of topics including:

  • Her early influences as an actor in New York in the 1980s
  • How she left acting to pursue a deeper fascination with people
  • Founding the faculty of two world-leading coaching schools
  • What she has learnt working as a team with her husband
  • Her experiences as a front of room leader for CTI and CRRGlobal
  • What led to her discovery of the Inside Team
  • The influence of other systems work methodologies on her thinking
  • How she works with her Inside Team
  • How she uses this approach to manage internal conflict
  • Why knowing your Inside Team can help you as a Coach
  • How to help your client Team work with their Inside Teams
  • The future Team Coaching competencies

More on Cynthia:

Cynthia is internationally known as a passionate pioneer in the world of coaching: one of the first to gain the designation of Master Certified Coach (MCC) by the International Coach Federation, one of the founding leaders for CRR Global (Centre For Right Relationship) and The Coaches Training Institute, and one of the founders of the ICF. Cynthia works with people from all walks of life: CEOs to chiropractors, singers to Silicon Valley pros, teams that produce documentaries to sales teams in the insurance industry. In 2004, after 10 years of growing coaches to the level of ‘competent,’ she started creating ongoing training for advanced coaches to support them in becoming coaching masters. The Inside Team courses, workshops, and retreats came out of that work. You can find everything you want to now about Cynthia here: https://teamdarst.com

This week on the show, Melanie Seymour, former Head of Budapest for BlackRock now head of Global Client Services, joins me Carissa Bub as we talk about how she led the building of BlackRock’s newest organisation and centre for innovation, scaling from zero to 500 hires in less than two years. We spoke while Melanie was in Budapest, a place she has fallen in love with, a few months before she accepted her new role at Blackrock.

Melanie and I discuss:
• Her previous experience building and selling her first financial services business in the UK
• How she set out to create a team that thinks differently and is capable of innovation
• The challenges she faced in the set up and build out of the organisation
• How she set out to create a team and team of teams culture
• Making the new organisation an integral part of the global organisation
• Her passion for creating inclusive modern organisations
• Advice for team coaches working with scale ups and global organisations
• Beyond teams, the critical importance of creating community and belonging
• What else Melanie is up to and where you can get in touch

More about Melanie Seymour:

Melanie has over 30 years experience in Finance and Banking holding senior roles in Technology, Operations and Change Management as well as running her own business. She set up and ran a mortgage distribution business with one partner and over 8 years grew the business team of over 200 with 3 offices throughout the UK and a turnover in excess of £20 million.

In 2011 she joined the global investment manager BlackRock, and is today the Head of Global Client Services. For the two years prior Melanie was responsible for the set up, build out and future growth of BlackRock Budapest. Melanie is Co Chair of the EMEA chapter of BlackRock internal women’s committee ( WIN ) where she leads a programme of events to support women ( and men ) in their career journey through the firm. She is passionate about education and developing the next generation of leaders, mentoring a number of men and women both internally and externally.

She has been a Chair of Governors since 2005 and was a coach for the charity Teach First who provide a leadership route into teaching to encourage the most talented graduates to join the most challenging schools. In 2015 Melanie was recognised as one of Brummells Top 30 Inspiring Women in the City.
