A few coaches recently have brought questions about set coaching programmes into the supervision room. Marketing-wise, set programmes are an excellent way to instill certainty and trust in your coaching, by selling the idea that a “proven method” or relied upon series of exercises, assessments, or lines of inquiry are going to create a particular outcome within a certain timeframe. Now every serious coach knows that in reality, those kind of journeys at best are opening doors into the conversations that really matter, and at worst are a complete distraction from having those conversations. And yes, sometimes, when we pick the right client for our programme, they absolutely deliver. But it means we’re keeping to a tight niche. There is some value in guided journeys, for sure, though also definitely a number of pitfalls. So today we are digging into some of the pros and cons of set coaching programmes.

Trainee coaches often ask: "Is it better to see coaching clients face-to-face as compared to video calls like Zoom or Skype or telephone coaching?".

Even experienced coaches have, in my experience, often not really reflected on how and why they work the way they do. It just so happened that they do most of their coaching the way they do and it's worth zooming in on this interesting topic.

Truth is all formats have their pros and cons and in today's episode we're discussing what some of these are. What are your preferences?

You may have been in this scenario before: A client approaches you for coaching but along the way you get the feeling that they might be in need of a therapist. Maybe there's a past trauma, they want to delve deeper than you feel comfortable or perhaps you're at your wit's end and feel they need a different sort of intervention. How far can you go? Where's the line? How can we know? What to say? And who makes the rules anyway?

In this episode our resident coaches Siawash, Nicki and Yannick discuss the topic of coaching vs. therapy.

In this episode we consider some different approaches for coaching a client who comes to their first coaching session with no agenda, no goal and perhaps no real hunger to work on themselves. 

Especially when you're starting out as a coach and your fees are relatively low or perhaps you coach pro bono as part of your training, this is a common issue for life coaches.

Coaches in organisations also face this issue often as the client in the room is not paying for the service and so they can be less committed to the process.
