Ep 207: Embodying a Coaching Mindset

Have you ever wondered what truly makes a great coach not just in the session, but in the moments before and after? In this second episode of our mini-series here on The Coaching Hub podcast, I take you deeper into one of my all-time favourite topics: the coaching mindset (the ICF competency 2) What do we as coaches need to cultivate ‘outside’ of our sessions so we can show up fully present and open for our clients? I’m sharing practical ways to foster ongoing self-awareness, curiosity, and emotional regulation, along with why lifelong learning (and even a little dance or meditation before a session!) is key to our evolution as coaches. Join me to explore how embodying a coaching mindset shapes not only our work but also the way we approach life. Here are the Highlights: 00:00 Introduction 01:02 What do we need to do outside coaching sessions? 06:05 Supervision is a reflective space to look at coaching through different lenses 09:24 Be present, seek outside support and embody a coaching mindset for deeper relationships and effective coaching.
