Ep 9 — Executive Coach Corner — Stop Rescuing Your Clients Too Fast

A summary of a recent Executive Coach Corner session on a quiet discipline most coaches get wrong: rescuing people too fast. The conversation makes the case that growth happens in the struggle — that "I don't know" is just a client setting the weight down, and your job is to let the silence do the heavy lifting instead of rushing in with another question or an answer. You'll hear why coming from shared humanity beats a subtle superiority complex, a deceptively simple line for when someone's stuck in a complaint — "I hear you; how can I help?" — that hands the problem back to them, and why grounding a client in current reality (not the fantasy of "if only…") is what finally gets the gears to connect and move them forward.
