Listen "Episode 11: Coaching the Who"
Episode Synopsis
What does it really mean to coach the “Who” and why do we talk about that often in coaching?
In this episode of Coaching with Confidence and Care, I’m addressing one of the most frequently discussed ideas in coach training: coaching the whole person. You’ve probably heard the phrase in mentor feedback, ICF performance assessments, or coach training sessions. My goal for this episode is to explain it in a clear and practical way.
If you’re working toward your PCC credential, or simply want to have more meaningful conversations with clients, I hope you’ll find this episode useful.
We’ll explore:
What “coaching the Who” really means and how it differs from "coaching the What";
The psychological foundations of identity and their connection to the “Who”;
Reasons to do the Who work in coaching;
Common traps that keep coaches stuck at the “What” level;
Skills coaches need to develop to work at the level of identity
Tune in and let’s explore it together.
