To app or not to app?
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?
