CLATV Outcomes

What if the coach sitting across from your client is holding back their growth?

In the coaching world, knowledge and technical skills often get top billing. But what happens when a coach has the right certifications, yet lacks the internal self-regulation to hold space under pressure? The coaching industry is finally catching up to what counseling learned decades ago, and it's changing everything.

In this episode of TIPS, hosts Ashlie and Gilbert celebrate the return of Dr. Michelle Thompson, PCC, Program Director of Executive Coaching and Consulting at the Townsend Institute. Drawing from her doctoral research on professional dispositions, Dr. Thompson reveals why coaching competence begins with who you are, not just what you know, and how this shift transforms both coaches and their clients.

You'll discover:

• The 3-Part Triad: How internal identity directly determines whether your clients get real results—knowledge and skill alone fall short.
• The Counseling Precedent: What the coaching industry must learn from counseling's 40-year regulatory evolution to protect clients and raise standards.
• Self-Regulation vs. Self-Awareness: Why knowing your triggers isn't enough if you cannot regulate them in real time during a session.
• Can't vs. Won't: How to distinguish between a developing coach building a skill and a fixed mindset that resists ethical coaching boundaries.
• The Concentric Model: How deep internal identity work directly dictates ethical decisions, conflict-of-interest management, and coaching presence.

If you've ever wondered why some coaches transform clients while others just check boxes—this episode has the answer. Whether you are a seasoned executive coach, a coach educator, or a leader seeking to deepen your character capacity, this conversation provides an essential blueprint for developing the whole practitioner from the inside out.

Perfect for: Executive coaches, coach educators, counselors, HR leaders, and anyone pursuing ICF certification or advanced character-based leadership.

As this past weekend was the 800th anniversary of the death of St. Francis of Assisi and the tradition of blessing animals, Carmen reflects on our call to steward creation.  But does the blessing of animals have Biblical warrant?  Also, why does Carmen do what she does on the show?  Journalist Marvin Olasky, outgoing editor-in-chief at Christianity Today, talks about the continued problem of homelesses, sharing his street-level reporting with those who are homeless and those serving them.  We've spent untold billions of dollars on homelessness, but the problem still festers.  Is there a better way?
