In this week's episode we explore some of the current growing pains being experienced in the Coaching field. 

There is no doubt that the field has ballooned in the last ten years, and this has both come from and contributed to many businesses and intervention designs that have a narrow focus on outcomes and relegate Coaches to high volume work. While this recipe has impacted those who work in the health and well-being arena more than others, the impact of how the value of the Coach is seen is something that impacts all. 

As more and more people pursue Coaching as a profession, we encourage critical thinking about the scope of Coaching jobs, and the environments in which they happen so we can build sustainable career paths for Coaches, and promote the growth of the field with a more accurate view of the value we bring to the table.

Have you ever thought about what is going on in your mind when you are Coaching someone? 

How all of the training, theories, models, practice, feedback, research, evidence, experience, intuition, data, the specific client you are working with and their journey computes in your mind and folds in to the Coaching process? It's a big question, and a hard one to wrap one's mind around. And, the complexity, nuance and sophistication of those inner workings are often not understood or respected by others, which is one of the factors that contributes to people thinking that what we do isn't hard. 

In today's episode we hold some space for exploring this idea through the mental gymnastics metaphor, and use a few client examples to illustrate the way this amplifies richness, authentic personalization, intrinsic motivation and sustainability in the change they are pursuing.

In this week's conversation, we dip our toes in and explore the role of outcomes, the Coaching process, designing for and understanding change. There is so much that can be said on this topic, and we know it is an important one to discuss as how these come together is very timely with the continued growth of the field. 

In this episode we speak to the distinction between designing outcomes based on the Coaching process vs designing the coaching process based on outcomes. We know these are two different things from a Coaching vs coaching perspective, and that the level of understanding of the nuance of the Coaching work (or lack there of) has a big impact on what is understood to be a valuable offering for clients.

In part two of this conversation, Lorene, Traci and Megan continue to explore and discuss the path towards finding and embodying an authentic Coaching voice. We share what we have learned that has helped us to find and grow into our own, as well as how we have guided and invited newer Coaches that we have trained to do the same. Synthesizing and summarizing the takeaways, wet end the conversation by generating ideas that can be used to find and strengthen your own Coaching voice.

What is a Coaching voice and how do you find it? In this episode, and first part of this conversation, our hosts discuss common misconceptions of what is a part of a Coaching voice, and how they discovered and came to embody their own. 

Through exploring the pros and cons of beginning their Coaching careers working in a call center environment, the pros of high volume work, and early adoption of a growth mindset, Lorene, Megan and Traci give voice to the role of confidence, curiosity, trust and modeling to support the integration of the core competencies and skills into an authentic, aligned and ethical owning of the role, the conversation, and the work with clients. (Part two coming next week!)

Join our hosts in opening up the conversation, and hearing about this distinction by three thought leaders who have been experiencing and witnessing the boom of the Coaching field from within over the last decade, the good, the less good, the growth and the misperceptions that we are all engaging with in being a Coach at this time.
