There is no coaching without action. One of coaching's revolutionary concepts is that reflection alone is not enough for a process to be effective. Coaching emphasizes the importance of supporting clients in clearly identifying ways to translate their insights into a sustainable movement beyond the coaching session. On the other hand, we also understand that no good action comes without reflection. This balancing act between reflection and movement is one of the most valuable aspects of the coaching process and a skill for every coach to develop.

The real power of coaching is when we are able to go beyond solution and enter a place of self-discovery. Moving from being the "fixer" into the "unknown" can be scary. Still, the secret to transformational coaching is to be curious about what is happening within the client, not the details of the situation. Listen to this rich episode with guest Debbie Crouse, MCC where she shares her experience coaching within a corporate setting.

Is it okay to switch "hats" during a coaching session? This was a frequent topic during the early days of coaching. If we have advice to give a client, perhaps we can announce that we will take our "coaching hat" and put on a "consulting hat." In this episode, Elias addresses the fallacy of this practice and gives some insight into a much better approach.

Since coach training naturally focuses on developing coaching skills, understanding the Core Competencies, and demonstrating these tools, the issue of the coach's self-care and personal development is oftentimes overlooked. Coaching is a partnership. Coaching is a human-to-human experience. How can we expect our client to show up with their authenticity and humanity if we are not committed to our own ongoing development? Take a break and give yourself the time to reflect. Mastery comes from the core of the coach's authentic self.

Motivational interviewing (MI) is grounded in concepts similar to coaching. However, there are some distinct ways of approach, especially when it comes to the skill of reflection. What can we learn from all the clinical trials and research done in MI to support us in going deeper into our coaching skills and approach?
