hey all, new member here. how are you keeping track of leads after a call or convo when they say “I’ll get back to you”… but don’t? I've been noticing that’s where a lot of our potential clients quietly drop off. curious if it’s just me, or happens to you too 🙏

I’m seeing a lot of coaches building coaching apps right now. And I get it… Your clients having you in their corner matters. Accountability is crucial, as is your support. But I can’t shake this question… At what point does “support” quietly become dependency? If every decision you client makes runs through a coach, a prompt, or an app… Are you actually helping your client build themselves or are you conditioning them to outsource their judgment? There’s something uncomfortable here for me and I’m torn… I can’t help thinking that the more we normalize constant guidance, the less we help our clients stand on their own thinking. Coaching should be a bridge, not a crutch. The goal isn’t better answers from outside. It’s better questions from within. The consequence I grapple with is that we risk creating a generation of highly supported people who don’t trust themselves to move without permission. Curious how others think about this… Where’s the line between empowerment and dependency?

Yesterday, during a coaching session with a client, we landed on something powerful about healing that stayed with me long after the call ended. Because as coaches, we don’t just guide others through growth, we often witness where people stay stuck. And more often than not, it comes back to what they’re still holding onto. When I think about healing, it isn’t about pretending the past didn’t happen. It’s about choosing what you carry forward. And if someone is truly serious about healing, there are four key places I believe we need to help them make peace with: 1. Their parents Whether they got it right or wrong, they gave them life.Holding onto blame rarely creates progress.The shift happens when someone can take what was good, accept what wasn’t, and release the rest. 2. The people they once loved Not everyone is meant to stay.Sometimes people simply couldn’t meet us where we were and that’s okay.Encouraging clients to genuinely wish those people well can be incredibly freeing.Because the peace they offer others is often the same peace they begin to feel themselves. 3. Those who hurt them This is where many clients wait… for an apology, for closure, for acknowledgment.But healing doesn’t require any of that.Letting go isn’t about the other person, it’s about releasing a weight they were never meant to carry in the first place. 4. Themselves This is usually the hardest one.The past version of them that didn’t know better.The mistakes, the regrets, the decisions they wish they could undo.But real growth requires compassion for who they were, not punishment. Forgiveness isn’t weakness. It’s one of the most powerful shifts we can help someone make. Because no one can move forward while still gripping tightly to everything behind them. I’m curious, how often do you see this show up in your own coaching conversations?

I’ve been thinking about what it really takes to be great at coaching, and there’s a mindset shift that feels important to share… A lot of people step into coaching with an unspoken expectation: I want to get better at this… but I don’t want it to feel hard. And I get it… But the reality is, growth doesn’t work like that. The hard isn’t a sign that something’s wrong. It’s part of the process. The difference between people who grow into great coaches and those who stall out isn’t that one group finds a way to avoid what’s hard. It’s that they learn how to stay with it. It’s not about trying to remove the challenge. It’s about building the capacity to move through it. And here’s where it becomes even more important for coaches… We ask our clients to stay with what’s hard. To not avoid discomfort. To keep going when things feel uncertain or uncomfortable. There has to be congruence there. If we’re not willing to face our own hard… if we pull back when it gets uncomfortable… it becomes much harder to ask someone else to stay in it. But when we do stay with it, something shifts. We’re not just teaching it, we’re modelling it. And that’s where coaching becomes far more powerful. So instead of asking, “How do I get better at this without this feeling so hard?”… The better question becomes… “How do I get better at coaching and get better at doing hard things?” That shift is liberating. It lets you stop fighting the process and start working with it. If this truly matters to you, then it’s worth accepting the full package… It will stretch you It will challenge you It will require consistency And it will be hard The goal isn’t to eliminate that. The goal is to become someone who can meet it and keep moving forward. You don’t need to choose between growth and discomfort. You need to learn how to do both.
