Summary

What if your well-meaning habits are getting in the way of your client's growth? In this honest conversation, Jeanine Bailey MCC and Marie Quigley MCC explore the unconscious coaching pattern of cheerleading - the over-championing, the enthusiastic "that's wonderful," the nodding and yes-yes-yessing that feels supportive but can cut your client's thinking. Research shows that staying silent allows clients to go deeper, and that is precisely where the most powerful insights live. If you have ever caught yourself saying "that's amazing" and wondered whether you were really serving the person in front of you, this conversation is for you.
