Fear of failure & rejection are stopping me from "getting myself out there". Help! Episode 78

7/25/2024
The conversation explores the fear of failure and rejection that many coaches experience, which prevents them from putting themselves out there and being visible. The hosts discuss the mindset and skill development needed to overcome this fear. They emphasize the importance of taking small steps, reframing failure as a learning opportunity, and shifting the focus from outcomes to the process. They also highlight the need to understand that a 'no' does not necessarily mean personal rejection. Overall, the conversation provides insights and strategies to help coaches overcome their fear and become more visible. Keywords coaching, fear of failure, fear of rejection, imposter syndrome, mindset, skill development, small steps, reframing failure, focus on process, understanding 'no' Takeaways The fear of failure and rejection can prevent coaches from being visible and offering their services. Taking small steps and gradually building confidence can help coaches overcome their fear. Reframing failure as a learning opportunity and focusing on the process rather than the outcome can alleviate the fear of failure. Understanding that a 'no' does not necessarily mean personal rejection can help coaches handle rejection more effectively.

Self-disclosure: Am I sharing too much when I'm coaching? Episode 77

7/11/2024
The conversation explores the topic of self-disclosure in coaching. The hosts discuss the traditional approach of not disclosing anything about oneself and the potential benefits of sharing personal experiences. They emphasize the importance of maintaining focus on the client and being mindful of the intention behind self-disclosure. The conversation also touches on the potential risks and pitfalls of self-disclosure, such as projecting one's own experiences onto the client. Overall, the hosts suggest that self-disclosure can deepen the human-to-human connection in coaching, but it should be done thoughtfully and with the client's best interests in mind.

How to have effective coaching consultations & discovery calls? Episode 76

6/27/2024
Consultations arguably are the most important conversation coaches have with their clients, as they are instrumental in whether we will have more conversations or not. Without more conversations, we cannot help anyone. So in this conversation, Yannick and Siwash discuss the importance of consultations in coaching and the key elements of a successful discovery call: Having a plan, why we should stop trying to convince anyone, how we can manage time and structure, how to best set goals and avoid goal setting pitfalls, and how we can engage the client’s emotions and senses to create a powerful experience that makes it more likely that the client will want to move forward with coaching. We talk about the importance of exploring the cost of inaction and emphasize the need for coaches to slow down and create a safe space for clients and why it’s so important to respect their autonomy, rather than trying to influence them. The conversation concludes with a reminder to focus on building long-term relationships rather than just transactional interactions. Keywords coaching, consultations, discovery call, goal setting, assessing, time management, structure, flexibility, cost of inaction, exploring emotions, serving vs pleasing, respecting autonomy, long-term relationships Takeaways Consultations are crucial in coaching as they open the doors to potential coaching relationships. A discovery call involves setting goals, understanding the current situation, and identifying challenges. Engaging the client's emotions and senses in goal setting is important for creating a powerful coaching experience. Shifting from convincing to assessing helps create a sense of trust and authenticity in the conversation. Having a plan, managing time effectively, and being flexible in the conversation are key elements of a successful consultation. Explore the cost of inaction with clients and ask them how they would feel if they're in the same place years from now. Create a safe space for clients to explore their emotions and make decisions. Focus on serving clients rather than pleasing them and respect their autonomy. Build long-term relationships with clients and prioritize the value of the relationship over the transactional time spent.

Is holding space enough? I feel I should do more… Episode 73

5/16/2024
In this conversation, Siawash and Yannick discuss the question of whether holding space is enough to create results in coaching. They explore the importance of holding space and being fully present as a coach, as well as the practice of holding space effectively. They also discuss the balance between doing less and doing more in coaching, and the role of action and intervention. The conversation delves into different philosophies on intervention and the importance of including the client in the decision-making process. The episode concludes with a reflection on the coach's motivations and the different perspectives on coaching. Takeaways Holding space is an essential aspect of coaching, allowing clients to do their best thinking and tune into themselves. Doing less can often be more effective in coaching, as it allows clients to tap into their own resources and find their own answers. Intervention and action can be valuable in coaching, but it is important to consider the client's needs and preferences. Including the client in the decision-making process and checking in with them regularly can help ensure that the coaching is aligned with their goals and expectations.

Can I coach grief and loss, or is that therapy? Episode 72

2/29/2024
The question of how far coaches can go is an increasingly pertinent one. The limits and boundaries around what coaching is and can be quite blurry. In today’s episode of talking about coaching our resident coaches Yannick, Siawash and Nicki discuss whether coaching is the right approach to support someone who’s lost a loved one, or grieving some other significant loss or ending, or whether that sort of work is best left to a therapist.

2/15/2024
It is not uncommon that coaches have dual relationships with their clients. The coaching client may also be a colleague, a parent from the community, or a friend of a friend that they sometimes meet in social circles. Some coaches even coach family members or close friends. And sometimes it’s difficult to tell at what point we’re crossing the line between being a friend and coaching a friend.

The dilemma of authenticity when scaling a coaching business. Episode 70

2/1/2024
Many coaches are thinking about, or experimenting with scaling their coaching business to reach more people. But once we market at scale, many of us coaches find ourselves stretched too thin in the face of having to create content, write, sell, and engage a growing social media. If you’re committed to still be the one who’s delivering the work, it can feel impossible grow the business unless you’re working with a team. And once you hire content creators, copy writers or sales people, it’s inevitable that your business is not going to feel 100% like you anymore. The copy doesn’t quite sound like you anymore, the content may be not be exactly what you had in mind, and the website would look different if you had designed it yourself. This presents a number of challenges for those with high values of authenticity, and so in today’s episode of Talking about Coaching our resident coaches Siawash, Yannick and Nicki go on a personal quest to share their experiences, advice, and curiosities around what it takes to scale authentically in an effort to serve more people, but without losing your integrity in the process.

Is your coaching supervisor also a role model? Episode 69

1/18/2024
Working with a coaching supervisor is the gold standard of maintaining professional standards, figuring out ethical dilemmas, and to continuously grow as a coach. Most coaches look up to their supervisor as someone that they respect and whose approach to working with people they would want to emanate. You could say that a coach doesn’t have to have experience in their client’s area in order to coach them well. Could you also say that a supervisor doesn’t need to be someone with experience in your style of coaching in order to supervise you well? Or is a coaching supervisor invariably someone who’s further ahead on your journey, and hence always some sort of role model for your own practice? And what then would be the difference to mentoring?

How to build a 6-figure coaching business? Episode 65

11/23/2023
Sounds a little click-baitey perhaps, but we thought it was time to tackle this question head-on. With a number of episodes on related topics you will find plenty of practical tips on how to grow your business, and we may well do a more classical series of practical advice on how to get 6 figures in your coaching business, but today we wanted to shine a light on the question itself, what it means to be a 6-figure coach, why that may or may not be important to someone, and what’s crucial to reflect on before committing yourself to such a journey. Our resident coaches Siawash and Yannick both turn over well over the minimum threshold (though with quite different mindset around the topic), and Nicki has never really found such figures appealing or worth striving for, so in best TaC style we’re sharing our different perspectives on the topic and hope you’ll find it helpful!
