245. Stop Hiding Your Coaching Failures: Why Transparency Creates Client Trust


Listen Later

Do you ever find yourself thinking, "No one can know I'm struggling with this"? I've been there. But this thought might be one of the most dangerous beliefs you can carry as a coach. It's normal to think you can't show vulnerability, but what I've learned over time is that transparency doesn't make us less of a coach. It makes us more human and more relatable to our clients.

In this episode, I dive into why trying to hide our fails from our clients only isolates us, increases pressure, and ultimately weakens our ability to serve them. I'll also share how my own struggles with transparency have shaped my approach to coaching, and how embracing vulnerability has created deeper connections with my clients. Perfection is a myth, and it's time we start normalizing the messy parts of coaching and business.
