What do you do when someone shows up for coaching—but you’re not sure they actually want to be there? In this episode of Starting Strong Coaching, we explore resistance, readiness, and what happens when the coach feels more invested in the process than the client. We discuss how to recognize what’s really going on, stay curious, and create space for the client to decide what they’re ready for.

Sometimes a client keeps returning to the same challenge, and there may also come a point when the coaching relationship has served its purpose. In this episode of Starting Strong Coaching, we explore how to recognize patterns, assess progress, know when to go deeper, when to change direction, and when to help a client to move forward without you.

Coaching isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about having the right resources — internally and externally — to support transformation. In this episode, we explore the tools, practices, and supports that strengthen your confidence, clarity, and coaching presence.

Powerful questions sit at the core of effective coaching—not just what makes a question powerful, but how to ask questions that create clarity, deepen awareness, and invite meaningful action without leading, fixing, or advising. Whether you’re a new coach or refining your coaching presence, this episode will help you elevate your conversations and strengthen your impact.

In this episode, we discuss one of the most foundational competencies in coaching: Maintaining Presence. Presence is more than listening. It’s the ability to be grounded, attuned, curious, and fully connected to the entire whole person. We discuss how presence deepens awareness, builds trust, and creates space for powerful insight. We also reference the iconic MoMA performance The Artist Is Present by Marina Abramović and Ulay as a powerful illustration of presence, stillness, and human connection, reminding us that silence itself can be one of the most profound invitations to awareness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlf68X2qEpM This episode is an invitation to slow down, soften certainty, and remember that some of the most impactful moments in coaching happen when we stay present.
