## Resource

Show Notes How do you actually know if your coaching is working? In this episode of The Coaching Clinic, Angie and John unpack one of the most uncomfortable—and most important—questions for coaches: are you effective, or are you just being liked? They challenge the common reliance on client satisfaction, renewals, and “good sessions,” and explore why those signals can be misleading. Early-stage coaches often ride the highs and lows of recent sessions, but without clear metrics, improvement becomes guesswork. The conversation moves beyond theory into practical application—how to introduce simple, usable feedback systems without damaging trust or turning sessions into surveys. They explore the role of structured feedback (like a 0–10 rating), better questioning, and the importance of creating space for honest input. The core message is clear: if you’re not measuring your coaching, you’re relying on assumptions—and that has consequences for your growth and your clients’ results. This episode is a direct, honest look at how to move from “I think I’m doing a good job” to actually knowing. Key Topics Why client satisfaction isn’t the same as coaching effectiveness The danger of recency bias in evaluating your coaching Why renewals and retention are incomplete metrics How to introduce simple feedback systems into your coaching Using a 0–10 rating scale effectively Asking better questions to get honest client feedback The balance between trust, challenge, and evaluation Why avoiding feedback limits your growth Key Takeaway If you’re not actively measuring your coaching, you’re guessing—and guessing limits both your development and your clients’ outcomes.
