Coaching tools didn’t descend from the heavens. They were developed by humans whose social context impacted the way they saw the world and their clients, including what they even viewed as a “problem” to be solved in the first place. In other words, those coaching modalities that you know and love? Yeah, those were made up. 

Before you abandon all meaning and run off into the woods, tune into this episode to learn why understanding this is exactly what will elevate your coaching. Kara and I will discuss how learning the intellectual history of modern coaching concepts and embracing the subjectivity of coaching modalities will help you deliver powerful coaching to clients with radically different backgrounds and beliefs than you.

Join me on the podcast this week as I invite you to think about where the leaks in your bucket might be, and how they’re what make you the unique leader and coach you are today.

There’s one topic in the coaching world that is rife with misunderstanding, and so it’s time to set the record straight.

Overdelivering is something all of us are encouraged to do in our businesses, to provide value to our people to help them get amazing results. But it doesn’t take the form that you might think it does.

This week, I offer you the 3 pillars of genuine over-delivery. Practicing and implementing these 3 pillars is what will have your clients creating amazing results, telling all their friends about you, and in turn, help you develop a reputation where people want to sign with you over and over again.
