In celebration of the 2025 International Coaching Week, we’re proud to share a deeply grounding and expansive episode of The UpLevel Podcast featuring five extraordinary elders: Eileen Blumenthal, Hide Enomoto, Hope Langner, John Vercelli, and Lorry Schneider.
For the fourth year in a row, we’re honoring elderhood, an often overlooked role in modern society, and exploring how it deeply informs our understanding of right relationship in coaching, leadership, and life.
Whether you're a coach, a business leader, or simply someone navigating life with intention, this conversation will root you in the power of presence, mutuality, and honoring those who came before.
Listen in, feel nourished, and remember, the wisdom is in the circle!
In this Episode:
- What elderhood really means and how it’s embodied with humility, wisdom, and love
- Right relationship is a practice of reciprocity, presence, and legacy
- Why lifelong learning is a hallmark of those who walk the path of the elder
- The fine line between offering insight and holding space and the dance of asking vs. telling in coaching
- How elderhood can be a radical act of stewardship in a fast-moving world
- Reflections on Co-Active principles, conscious leadership, and collective wisdom from decades of coaching
