Episode Synopsis

The Coaching Industrial Complex puts so much pressure on new coaches to be GOOD and SUCCESSFUL right away, and subtly (or not so subtly) reinforces the idea that  if we're not "succeeding" it must be because there's something wrong with US, not with the industry we're swimming in. But what if you were willing to let it be messy, imperfect, and to make a lot of mistakes on your way towards figuring out who you are as a coach and what your work is going to look like over the long haul? What if the path towards mastery involves a ton of practice, "failure", and learning along the way?Are you willing to be a beginner for as long as it takes until you're not? Are you willing to prioritize learning over any particular result, to be bad at something until you're good at it? What would it be like if you stopped punishing yourself for not having it all figured out? All of this, plus what coaching has to do with Poker, in today's episode.The Biggest BluffSend me a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thenichingcompass/messageLearn more about Allegra: www.allegrastein.com--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/youmapwithallegra/messageConnect with Allegra on LinkedIn or send a direct note here.Podcast Cover Art: Catherine FergusonSound Mixing support: Cameron SteinTheme Song - I Am a Tiger by Buttercup
