Starting Strong | A Podcast for New Coaches

What do you do when someone shows up for coaching—but you’re not sure they actually want to be there? In this episode of Starting Strong Coaching, we explore resistance, readiness, and what happens when the coach feels more invested in the process than the client. We discuss how to recognize what’s really going on, stay curious, and create space for the client to decide what they’re ready for.

Sometimes a client keeps returning to the same challenge, and there may also come a point when the coaching relationship has served its purpose. In this episode of Starting Strong Coaching, we explore how to recognize patterns, assess progress, know when to go deeper, when to change direction, and when to help a client to move forward without you.

In this episode of Starting Strong Coaching, we explore how strong opinions and assumptions can interfere with presence, curiosity, and client-centered coaching. We discuss how to recognize when our perspective takes up too much space, and how to bring the focus back to the client.

In this episode of Starting Strong Coaching, we explore how coaches can evolve their offerings with more clarity, sustainability, and alignment. We discuss how simplifying services, shifting from doing more to creating more impact, and honoring your energy can support meaningful growth without burnout.

In this episode of Starting Strong Coaching, we discuss coaching through client complexity, including what to do when clients are vague, stuck, resistant, emotional, or seeking quick answers. This conversation offers practical insights for coaches who want to support clients with presence, trust, and confidence, even when the path forward is not immediately clear.

In this episode of Starting Strong: Coaching, we turn the lens inward to explore time management as both a coaching topic and a lived practice. How we structure our time shapes our business growth, client presence, energy, and overall effectiveness.

Join us as we discuss how coaches can move from reactive, overextended schedules to a more intentional, aligned, and fulfilling coaching practice. This conversation invites coaches to examine their relationship with time, protect what matters most, and create rhythms that support both professional growth and personal well-being.

This episode explores one of the most powerful and often underused coaching competencies: facilitating client growth. We discuss how to move beyond awareness into meaningful transformation, and how to partner with clients in ways that support lasting, sustainable growth.

Coaching isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about having the right resources — internally and externally — to support transformation. In this episode, we explore the tools, practices, and supports that strengthen your confidence, clarity, and coaching presence.
