466 | What To Do When You Hate Your Clients or Athletes

Are you passionate about what you do? Chances are, if you’re a coach, mindset coach, or entrepreneur, your PASSION is what motivates you to do what you do. To put yourself out there, kick ass, and take no prisoners. All for the greater good. But that’s an episode for another day. THIS episode is about that moment when we, as passionate leaders, realize our clients aren’t matching our passion. This can be a brutal wakeup call. Because, while there’s a lot that we CAN control, the one thing we can’t control are other people’s actions or how they show up to be coached. Sometimes it doesn’t matter how great your leadership is or how much you want your clients to succeed. Sometimes, something is just not working. And this can lead to feelings of frustration, resentment, failure, blame. In today’s extended episode of The Mindset Coach Academy Podcast, I’m taking an honest look at the negative feelings that you might have toward your clients or athletes. And shining a light on how these feelings can impact the way that YOU show up. Here’s what I cover: : The caring/impact dichotomy. Hint: Sometimes caring MORE isn’t the answer. How to have a deep and lasting impact AND stay positive The 1 thing that you might be doing that 100% won’t work Real life examples of how these negative thoughts manifest in myself and my mindset coaching students How the confirmation bias makes it hard to see what’s really going on. A mindset exercise that can actually change things for the better. If you’ve ever secretly thought: “I hate my clients” (or athletes), I’m here to tell you that is ABSOLUTELY NORMAL. This episode is not about adding more shame or guilt or gaslighting your feelings of frustration. This episode is about helping you move forward so you can continue to be proud about how YOU show up. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Related Mental Training Resources: Tap Into Your True Power Guided Visualization: For help on letting go of self-limiting narratives and stepping into your true purpose, make our Tap Into Your True Power Guided Visualization part of your daily mindset practice: www.positiveperformancetraining.com/offers/kig3abUL/checkout The Mindset Coach Academy: If you are ready to step into your purpose as a Positive Performance Certified Mindset Coach, join our waitlist to be the first to know when enrollment opens: www.positiveperformancetraining.com/MCACertification ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts “I love Lindsey’s straight forward, realistic approach to motivation and living your best life.”  <– If that sounds like you, we'd love for you to rate and review the podcast!  This helps us reach more high performers — just like you — on a personal growth journey to become better leaders, competitors, and humans. Click here, scroll to the bottom, tap to rate with five stars, and select “Write a Review.” Let us know what you loved most about the episode!
