What if you don’t want to “niche down”? What if your strength as a coach is your curiosity, creativity, and desire to do all the things? In this episode of The Craft of Coaching, we dive into multi-potentialite coaching—the unique challenges and powerful potential of coaches who are wired to pursue multiple passions.

Kate Swoboda sits down with a fellow multi-passionate coach to explore what it means to embrace your love of variety instead of constantly trying to tame it. From childhood curiosity to career pivots, they talk about what it’s like to be someone who thrives on learning, creating, and pivoting—and the pressure to “just pick one thing” that often leads to burnout or shame.

You’ll hear how structure, intentionality, and self-awareness are essential for making a multi-potentialite life work—without spinning out or succumbing to shiny object syndrome. They also discuss delegation, energy management, and the discipline it takes to turn your buffet of ideas into sustainable momentum.

If you’ve ever felt “too much” for wanting to do more, this episode of multi-potentialite coaching will help you reframe your path as powerful—not scattered.

Think that you’re too introverted to become a coach? Lisa Chartrand would disagree. Those who are introverted or who want to learn more practical skills for coaching introverts will want to hear Lisa’s take on the power of introverts.

I’m releasing a new book: The Gift of Coaching. It’s all about the art of coaching, how we keep our eye on coaching as craft, and how to identify issues within the coaching industry that need correction.

Every coach eventually encounters it: the client who says they want change… but pushes back at every turn. In this episode of The Craft of Coaching, we dig into the messy, misunderstood territory of uncoachable clients and client resistance—what it really means, what’s actually happening under the surface, and what you can do about it.

Is the client truly “uncoachable,” or is their resistance an invitation to shift how you’re holding the space? We explore how to identify resistance early, how to distinguish between sabotage and self-protection, and why labeling a client as “difficult” is often a missed opportunity for deeper coaching.

You’ll get specific strategies for re-establishing safety, clarifying agreements, and checking your own coaching bias. Plus, we’ll talk about the subtle ways coaches unintentionally escalate resistance—and what to do instead.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, frustrated, or unsure how to move forward with a client who keeps hitting walls, this episode will help you see resistance not as a barrier, but as part of the breakthrough.

Uncoachable clients and client resistance are not the end of the road. They’re the beginning of a new layer of mastery.
