In this episode of The Coaching Mixer, Erin and Elena pour a drink and dig into a question they get all the time: what skills should new coaches actually focus on? Their answers evolve in real time—from self-coaching and marketing to the art of being present and the necessity of learning how to recover when your attention slips.
In This Episode:

What real self-coaching looks like (and what it isn’t)
How to stay with your client instead of getting lost in your own head
Why curiosity is a reliable way back when you drift in a session
The role of “rupture and repair” in coaching and relationships
Why having perfect presence isn't possible—and how to work with that reality
How sharing your own learning process can double as authentic marketing
