In this coaching demonstration you will see three of the most common mistakes new coaches make with a stuck client, and how to help them find their own answer without giving advice. We explore what happens when a coach gives directive advice, sneaks suggestions into questions, and asks "why" in a way that spirals a client into the past — with clear do's and don'ts, and how to instead listen for a client's valid intention behind a habit they want to change. You will learn how to contract a session properly, use importance and progress measures, and reframe without judging what a client says they don't want. We also touch on trusting "not knowing" as a coach, and why the classic solution-focused question often fails even experienced coaches. Highlights include: Spotting advice disguised as a questionFinding the valid intention behind an unwanted habitContracting a session the ICF wayUsing importance and progress measures with a clientReframing without judgmentIf you are on the ICF credentialing path toward PCC or MCC, or you simply want to get better at holding space without rescuing your client, this walkthrough gives you practical language you can use today.

Colleen-Joy, MCC Master Coach, explains the Enneagram growth paths for all 9 Enneagram types.  The Enneagram is a powerful tool for personal growth beyond mere typing. The traditional "go to" language, where each type is advised to adopt traits from another type to grow, can be confusing and misleading.  Instead, we introduce the concept of "opening doors" between types, which provides a clearer and more effective path to self-improvement. Let us know in the comments if this helps your Enneagram journey.  Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and stay tuned for more content on professional Enneagram coaching.

How do we hand back family baggage? What if our family has a systemic Enneagram overlay that tints our Enneagram Type and potentially blocks our authentic true expression in life? And as a treat for practitioners, coaches and enneagram enthusiasts, learn how the Enneagram can be combined with the power of Systemic Family Constellations. Be inspired by Yvette Duncan's story of facing and overcoming relationship challenges and life-threatening health problems, including Thyroid Cancer, realizing the ‘dis-ease’ of not feeling able to express how she truly felt - "swallowing" her voice by not speaking her truth had physically manifested in her body and has been the catalyst for her own growth and healing as a Type 5 Enneagram. Using the tools of the Enneagram and Family Constellations tools, she could walk this difficult road with courage, and then share what she had learned with others. Today, Yvette is a sought-after Family Constellations Facilitator, Enneagram Coach, and Trainer. She has clients worldwide and offers her Pearls of Luminous Love program online to small groups seeking powerful transformation and compassionate support.

The fear of putting yourself out there is real. We feel called to guide, help, coach, speak, to play a role in life that requires us to step up and to step into spaces where we are exposed to judgment, where we are very aware of how we're seen by other people, which can cause resistance, procrastination, and fear. So, how do we get past that?  Do we pretend it's not there? Do we think happy thoughts and try to push through it?  Be inspired by Colleen-Joy's moving true story of healing the fear of being out there in the world using inner wisdom, helping her to step onto a stage in front of television cameras and a packed audience.
