Listen "Finding Your Coaching Style"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we dive into one of the most personal and relatively common puzzles in coaching: “How do I find my own coaching style?”
It’s the question that emerges during the certification, resurfaces during tricky sessions, and shows up again when we compare ourselves to other coaches. We explore what holds coaches back from showing up with authenticity, how our training might sometimes wire us to sound like someone else, and how to go about finding your voice (spoiler: this isn’t just about technique).
I will also unpack what “inner permission” means in this context. The kind that lets you bring more of yourself into the session: your intuition, your language, and your edge. We’ll talk about a possible tension between being present and being polished, between being yourself and being “professional.” And we explore how you can bring your full presence to coaching without losing sight of yourself or your client.
If you’ve ever found yourself wondering whether it’s okay to sound less like a textbook and more like you, then this episode is for you. Your coaching voice might be closer than you think.
