With mindfulness and experience that feeling diminishes. In my early days, I was so anxious about delivering value that I over-delivered. I felt drained instead of energized by sessions.That’s a red flag indicating something is off and needs attention.It took me a while to realize that being in a performative state — trying so hard to coach well — my clients weren’t relaxing into coaching and getting enough value.It’s a circular problem.
