Episode Synopsis

In this episode of the Coaching Q&A Series, I’m tackling a question that many people wonder about: “What if coaching doesn’t work for me?”
Here’s the thing—coaching is about partnership, action, and progress. But to make it work, you need clear goals, realistic metrics for success, and a commitment to showing up for yourself.
I’ll share how to set yourself up for success in coaching, track meaningful progress, and maximize the experience to create real results. If you’ve ever felt unsure about whether coaching is worth it, this episode will give you clarity and direction.

Key Takeaways:
