In this episode, I’m talking about what’s really going on when coaching feels stuck even though your client is doing the work . This is a common experience for coaches, and it’s not a sign that you’re failing — it’s usually a signal that something important hasn’t been addressed yet. I walk you through: What I specifically listen for when sessions start going in circles Two of the most common reasons progress stalls with motivated clients How I name patterns (and the "elephant in the room") without judgment or pressure Why this is one of the most challenging — and important — coaching skills to develop If you’ve ever left a session thinking, “We talked a lot, but nothing really shifted,” this episode will help you understand why — and what to do next time.
