NOT READY YET- Let’s talk about how easy it is to feel like you need one more certification before you’re “ready” to coach. But the truth? Real-life coaching experience and results speak louder than a list of credentials. This episode is all about breaking free from that mindset and stepping into action now, not later.

Key Takeaways:

1. Certifications are helpful, but they can become an excuse to procrastinate.
2. Clients care more about your ability to create results than the letters after your name.
3. The best way to grow as a coach is to coach—experience is the ultimate teacher.

Listener Challenge: Coach one person this week, even if it’s for free. Focus on listening, asking questions, and getting feedback. You’ll learn far more from this than another certification course.

DISQUALIFYING YOURSELF- We are talking about why the idea of being "perfect" or "expert" as a coach is both unrealistic and unnecessary. It’s about guiding others, not being flawless yourself. Embracing your imperfections makes you more relatable and effective as a coach.

1. Coaching isn’t about being the perfect example; it’s about creating a safe space for others to explore their own growth.
2. Your messy middle make you more relatable and help build trust with your clients.
3. Taking imperfect action is the key to progress—both for you and your clients.

• Create a list of 3–5 areas where you’re still growing. Reflect on how these areas help you connect with your clients.
• Share authentically about one of your growth areas on social media, in a conversation, or in your journal.
• Take one imperfect action this week to move forward, even if it feels uncomfortable.
