You’re Not 'Just a Coach' You’re a Leader
from Courage and Spice for Coaches: build your Self-belief and Business in under 30mins a week
Many coaches resist the word leader. But what if the problem isn’t leadership itself — it’s the narrow model of what leadership looks like?In this episode, I make the case that all coaching is leadership work. I explore a simple but powerful idea: you’re not “just a coach” — you’re a leader. Through every coaching conversation, you help people question assumptions, reclaim their agency, and step into a bigger relationship with their own lives. That’s a profound form of leadership — even if it’s quiet.We’ll explore a non-hierarchical model of leadership (that I learned from a horse!) and why self-employed coaches are in a particularly powerful leadership practice. I’ll also share a few ways you can experiment with embracing your leadership in grounded, practical ways.***Apply now for Ripen www.saspetherick.com/ripen Join The Coaching Well for Group Supervision hereFREE Private Podcast Bold not Beige: Why your coaching isn’t selling and what to do about it hereWebsite: www.saspetherick.com | Instagram: @saspetherick***Apply now for Ripen www.saspetherick.com/ripen Join The Coaching Well for Group Supervision hereSelf-belief Coaching Academy waitlist is OPEN - sign up here.FREE Private Podcast Bold not Beige: Why your coaching isn’t selling and what to do about it hereWebsite: www.saspetherick.com | Instagram: @saspetherickIf you've enjoyed Courage & Spice, please leave a review, subscribe on your favourite app, or share this episode with another coach.
