When a Client Asks a Question You Can’t Answer | EP 243

from The Financial Coaches Podcast · host Maria Casillas and Cody Sizemore

Every coach eventually gets asked a question they do not know how to answer. In this episode, Maria and Cody talk about what to do in that moment, and why not knowing the answer does not have to damage trust with your client. In fact, handled well, it can become one of the more helpful moments in the coaching relationship. The conversation explores why coaches often feel pressure to know everything, why your role is not to be the savior, and how honesty, curiosity, and a willingness to keep learning can serve your client better than pretending to have every answer. If you’ve ever worried that not knowing enough could hold you back as a coach, this episode is a good reminder that you do not need to know everything to coach well. 🎧 Resources & Links Mentioned in This Episode If this conversation reminded you that you do not have to figure everything out alone, here are a few ways we can support you.
