Every coach has faced that moment of hesitation before sharing a resource with clients. "If I recommend this podcast, will they think they don't need me anymore?" This fear keeps many coaches from sharing valuable resources that could accelerate client progress.

The truth? Recommending books, podcasts, or videos doesn't diminish your value as a coach—it enhances it when done correctly. This episode responds to Teacher Tina's question about recommending external resources while maintaining your position as the expert guide.

We reveal a powerful mindset shift: great coaches aren't just creators of content but curators of knowledge. Your clients don't pay simply for information (which is abundantly available) but for your unique insight, perspective, and ability to help them apply concepts to their specific situations. The distinction lies in how you frame recommendations—not as replacements for your coaching but as carefully selected tools that support the transformation journey you're guiding.

Learn practical phrasing techniques that position resources as extensions of your work together: "This book aligns with what we've been discussing. Read chapter three and we'll explore how it applies to your situation in our next session." This approach strengthens your role as the essential dot-connector who helps clients navigate information overload with discernment and personalized guidance. Ready to leverage resources confidently while reinforcing your coaching value? This episode shows you exactly how. Share your go-to coaching resource in the comments and book a free strategy call to enhance your leadership approach!
