Listen "Beyond Client Modes"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, host Elias Scultori sits down with leadership coach Joe Miller, ACC, to unpack a challenge many coaches regularly face — what to do when a client shows up in self-doubt.Joe describes noticing two distinct “modes” in his clients:✨ Mode One — confident, prepared, full of faith.🌧️ Mode Two — insecure, resistant, and uncertain.As the conversation unfolds, they realize that these “modes” may reveal just as much about the coach’s own mindset as they do about the client’s. Together, Elias and Joe explore how to stay genuinely curious, let go of personal definitions of success, and keep believing in the client’s wholeness — no matter what “mode” they’re in.This is a vulnerable, reflective conversation about the inner work of coaching — and the growth that happens when we’re willing to look inward.⏱️ Chapters00:27 – The Coaching Challenge: Two Client Modes02:58 – When Confidence Fades: Working with “Mode Two” Clients05:38 – When Coaching Feels Stuck: Referral or Recommitment?09:17 – Turning the Lens Inward: The Coach’s Growth Opportunity13:06 – Simplicity, Curiosity, and the Power of Reflection13:30 – Final Takeaway: Staying Curious with Every Client💬 Notable Quotes"...how real are these modes and do they really or as much at least reflect my own growth and learning opportunities and shifting opportunities, thinking opportunities as a coach."
