In this episode of The Coaching Edge Podcast, hosts Erwin de Grave and Steve Jeffs are joined by Simon Delaney—actor-turned-coach and a key figure at RADA Business. Simon shares how his journey from theatre to coaching helped him uncover the transformative power of performance, presence, and, above all, breath.

He dives deep into the idea that everyone is, in some sense, already an actor—constantly performing in daily life—and how recognizing and refining that performance can lead to more impactful leadership and communication. With humor and humility, Simon explores the interplay between physicality and mindset, the inner saboteurs we all carry, and the importance of non-attachment in both coaching and leadership.

This conversation is packed with insights for coaches, leaders, and communicators who want to show up more authentically and effectively. From breathwork to presence, from vulnerability to preparation, Simon’s reflections are both grounding and inspiring.
