Deep Diving with Long-Term Coaching Clients: Maintaining Depth and Challenge

Summary

In this episode of The Coaching Clinic, hosts Angie and John discuss the challenges and strategies for maintaining meaningful and deep engagements with long-term coaching clients.

They explore the importance of ongoing self-reflection for coaches, recognising when sessions become too conversational and ensuring that coaching continues to provide value beyond just emotional support.

Additionally, they talk about handling sensitive topics, balancing patience with the need to challenge clients, and respecting boundaries when clients are not ready to delve into certain areas of their lives.

The episode emphasises the significance of being in tune with clients, listening for what’s unsaid, and sustaining a relationship that fosters growth and trust.
