What makes powerful group coaching truly work? Spoiler alert: it’s not about being the most charismatic coach in the room or controlling every dynamic. In this episode of The Craft of Coaching, we unpack what it really takes to lead transformative group experiences that support deep connection, insight, and change.

You’ll learn why some groups “click” while others fizzle, and how to create conditions for trust and co-creation—without defaulting to a top-down, guru-style model. We explore the most common group coaching challenges: resistance, projection, disengagement—and how to meet them with grounded, skillful leadership.

We’ll also talk about the psychology of group behavior, how to normalize discomfort without shaming, and why setting expectations from the start (especially around things like perfectionism, vulnerability, and participation) creates the foundation for growth.

If you’ve ever felt uncertain about how to navigate a group that’s not gelling—or you want to elevate your facilitation from good to powerful—this episode is full of insights you can apply immediately.

Powerful group coaching isn’t about control. It’s about courageous leadership, deep listening, and trusting the process.

What experienced coaches know can’t always be found in a textbook—it’s earned through real-world practice, client conversations that don’t go as planned, and the inner work of staying grounded when things get messy. In this episode of The Craft of Coaching podcast, we explore the essential mindset shifts and deeper truths that experienced coaches understand—and why new coaches often miss them.

If you’re just getting started in your coaching journey, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at what actually changes as you become a more seasoned coach. From embracing silence instead of rushing to fix, to building confidence through exposure instead of perfection, we’re talking through the unspoken wisdom that only time and practice can teach.

You’ll learn why emotional resilience is just as important as coaching skills, how your presence is more powerful than any tool, and why being useful matters more than being liked. Whether you’re brand-new or building momentum, this episode will help you trust the process—and yourself.

Tune in and discover what experienced coaches know that can help you grow faster, coach deeper, and build a practice that truly reflects your values.

If you've ever thought that you'd love to be a coach, but don't see how you'd ever do it while also being a parent, today's episode is especially for you.

If you've been stressing about finding your coaching niche, you're not alone. Many new coaches feel pressure to define exactly who they serve and how—before they’ve even fully developed their coaching voice. In this episode of The Craft of Coaching podcast, we explore a different approach to finding your coaching niche—one that’s grounded in curiosity, experimentation, and trusting the process.

Instead of locking yourself into a niche too early, we’ll talk about why it’s actually more powerful to stay open while you build your skills and confidence. You’ll learn how to recognize the signs of a niche that fits, how to avoid choosing a niche based on fear or trends, and why your most aligned clients often emerge after you’ve done the deeper work on yourself.

We’ll also share the mindset shifts that help you coach more freely—whether you’re focused on career transitions, personal growth, or something totally outside the mainstream. Finding your coaching niche isn’t about getting it perfect—it’s about letting your work evolve alongside you.
