Recognize patterns and coach the coaching

One of the most common dilemmas facing coaches today is the struggle between being a "teacher" of information and a true "partner" in transformation. Much like the difference between knowing a concept and embodying it, these two roles are deeply interconnected, feeding into one another to create a powerful client experience, and Jenni and I are breaking it all down for you in this one.

Today we look at why the age of information is officially over, how to transition from simply gatekeeping content to producing real results, and the foundational distinctions that separate an average coach from an extraordinary one.

Whether you are a brand-new coach building your first program, a seasoned mentor looking to sharpen your leadership energy, or a leader trying to understand why your clients aren't getting the results they deserve, this episode is just the foundation. Over the next few installments, we'll be diving into our favorite coaching questions, the art of intuitive guidance, and much more…so make sure you're subscribed to catch the entire series!

In this episode you'll hear:

• The transformation shift that has happened and how content has become a commodity

• Why giving your clients more content won't solve their problems, and the strategic reason you must position yourself in the results and transformation business

• The reasons that giving unsolicited advice is a fast way to destroy rapport with your coaching clients

• Tips for "mastering the mirror" and using active listening to see a client's highest potential

• Why you absolutely must check your own insecurities and judgments at the door before every call, or risk losing your efficacy as a coach

• How to stop viewing a client's "I don't know" as resistance and start using it as an invitation to uncover their biggest blind spots

• The ways in which questions create possibility while answers collapse it, and the importance of helping your clients get comfortable living in the "unknown"

• Why you should never rob your clients of their own "aha" moments by spoon-feeding them answers, and what you can do to lead them to their own conclusions instead

• How to use neutral, observable feedback to prompt breakthroughs without triggering your client's defensive ego
