Listen "Episode 13: What Is a Coaching Mindset (not just for coaches)"
Episode Synopsis
Many coaches associate a “coaching mindset” with being positive, open, or reflective. But in practice, it’s something deeper and more disciplined. In this episode, we unpack what it truly means to embody a coaching mindset, beyond ICF definitions and into the psychological habits that shape how we show up.
For coaches who and coaching leaders who have ever felt:
Uncertain whether you're being present or subtly performing
Caught between curiosity and the urge to fix
Drained from maintaining “the right attitude” session after session
This episode offers clarity, evidence, and honest reflection.
You’ll learn:
What lies beneath ICF’s “Embodies a Coaching Mindset” competency
How curiosity, emotional regulation, and non-directiveness influence client outcomes
Why a mindset shift often matters more than a new tool or question
Common traps and how to work through them
Simple practices to reset and return to presence
Let’s stay in touch:
