Information isn’t the gap between failure and success—action is. Path for Growth’s 1-on-1 coaching helps you create a plan and execute on what matters most for your business. Apply today at pathforgrowth.com/coaching.


Great leaders are great coaches, and great coaches use principles to distill truth. In this episode, we close out our series on the five characteristics of effective coaching with a conversation about four tactics for principle-based coaching. We talk through some practical examples of patterns we’ve turned into principles at Path for Growth. We also wrap up our conversation on coaching with a reminder that wisdom and nuance are essential characteristics for all leaders and coaches.  


  • Great coaches are relational, curious, assertive, directional, and principle-based (0:53)
  • Principles simplify, solve, scale, and separate (1:57) 
  • Principle-based coaching involves 4 tactics (7:48) 
  • 1. Notice the pattern (10:43)
  • Experience is not authority (13:56)
  • The more evidence you gather about a pattern, the more assertive you can be (14:40)
  • 2. Identify the principle (21:14)
  • Don’t sacrifice truth just to make your principles sound catchy or clever (28:36)
  • 3. Collaborate to make the principle practical (35:52)
  • 4. Understand that reality isn’t perfect (40:32)
  • Effective coaching requires nuance (48:49)
