In this episode of Dancing in the Moment, Barefoot CEO, Kim Morgan speaks to Executive and Team Coach, Sandra Whiles.
Sandra’s cheeky letter to Kim resulted in this delightful conversation, described as a ‘splash of colour and light’. Here Sandra takes us through her coaching journey, the importance of finding the type of work that ‘feeds your soul’ and how she has found running a business during lockdown.
You will hear about Sandra’s new boundaries, about being more mindful and more in the moment and how she has enjoyed discovering new tools from the connections she has made during this year from across the globe. It’s ‘beautiful stuff’, we hope you enjoy listening.
Kim and Sandra got so caught up in chatting during the episode that they never got back to Sandra’s top tips for using an online platform to deliver coaching sessions, so we have included them here for you to see:
- Lots of breaks and movement
- Welcoming background that reflects your style and approach
- Post it reminders in front of you
- 5 minutes of mindfulness before sessions
- Keep things simple – technology, slides and sharing
- Check-in, contract, content – build trust and psychological safety
- Team Coaching – work with a co-host – one looking after the technology and the other delivering to the group and then swap roles
- Group sessions and meetings – open the Zoom room early and let people have a coffee and chat before the session starts
- Most importantly – smile and be kind

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
