What do you do when you have clients who get stuck in overthinking? When your client is in their own head, as if they could sit around and get lost thinking about things forever, they might perceive this as a good thing. Sure, thinking is important. However, it presents a huge challenge for you as a coach when your clients are stuck in overthinking, and they’re not even aware of it.

Tune in this week to discover how to help your overthinking clients. I share how to spot whether your client’s line of thinking is serving them, and you’ll learn how to work together with your clients to help them slow down their overthinking and start taking action instead.

How do you really feel while coaching your clients? This question matters far more than you might currently realize. I'd say it's actually one of the most important things you can ask yourself.

Discover why some of the emotions that come up are really not serving you, and why you might not have realized this before. I’m sharing how to get clear on how you’re feeling when you’re on your calls, how these emotions are affecting how you show up as a coach, and what you can do to address and fix them.
