Mastering Coaching Skills

If you want to compete in the coaching industry, you need to be GOOD at coaching.

Each week life coach Lindsay Dotzlaf shares stories, tips and advice to continually develop your skills as a coach. She knows what it’s like to feel overwhelmed and anxious about coaching in the moment, and will teach you why shifting your mindset around your own abilities as a coach will make all the difference. If you’ve got clients but want to become the absolute best coach you can be, you’ll find answers, advice and support here. Learn more at lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com!

    209. Reframe Imposter Syndrome: Uncover Your Personality Gap with Dr. Crystal Agyei

    In this episode, I talk with the burnout MD for entrepreneurs, Dr. Crystal Agyei, about why defaulting to the label of imposter syndrome can actually hold you back from doing the deeper work of understanding your thoughts and emotions. Crystal shares a powerful reframe for imposter syndrome that she calls the "personality gap" - the space between the version of yourself you desire to be and the one that is currently showing up.   Crystal dives into the problematic history of how imposter syndrome was originally conceived, the importance of applying an intersectional lens to this work, and how to start investigating your own "imposter" thoughts with curiosity. She also shares a practical tool you can use to identify and question the thoughts behind your feelings of imposter syndrome in the moment they arise.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/209

    208. Scaling Your Business: Why More Money and Clients Isn’t Always the Answer

    Over the past few weeks, I've had eye-opening discussions with numerous successful coaches who have scaled their businesses to impressive heights. And yet, many of them confessed to me that they've fallen out of love with their businesses along the way. This got me thinking deeply about how the relentless push to scale as coaches may be negatively impacting us and our clients.   Hear my thoughts on the dark side of scaling your coaching business, and how, while there is nothing inherently wrong with it, you must be tapped into your reasons for why you want to do it. I explore the “scale at all costs” mentality, how it can lead you down an unfulfilling path and even hinder client results, and why more money and clients don't always equal more fulfillment and impact as a coach.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/208

    207. How to Navigate Third-Party Coaching Relationships

    As a coach, it's crucial to have clear policies and boundaries around how you handle situations where someone other than the client is paying for the coaching. Without this clarity, confusion can arise about who you are coaching, what results you are working towards, and who you are accountable to.   Join me this week as I offer key principles for coaching clients whose coaching is paid for by a third party. I share examples of when this situation might come up, key questions to ask yourself as a coach, and how to structure the coaching relationship for success. You’ll also hear real-life examples of how you can apply these principles in your practice to maintain the integrity of the coaching process.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/207

    206. The Power of Regular Business Audits

    In this episode, I share a recent realization I had while on vacation in Italy. A brief poolside chat with a friend and fellow coach completely shifted my perspective on audits. Her enthusiasm for audits made me realize that evaluating your business is not only important, but it can also be fun and incredibly rewarding.   I dive into why audits are the backbone of my coaching programs and how they can help you level up your coaching skills, get better results for your clients, and create a sustainable, thriving business. Trust me, by the end of this episode, you'll be itching to conduct your own coaching audit!   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/206

    205. “How You Do One Thing Is How You Do Everything” Unpacked

    Have you ever heard a coach say, “How you do one thing is how you do everything?” It's a common phrase that gets thrown around, but what does it really mean? While I personally try to stay away from talking about overused or over-generalized concepts like this, they can be super useful if you’re able to use them in a powerful way. So what truly makes this coaching concept useful, and where can it sometimes fall short or be misinterpreted?   I unpack “How you do one thing is how you do everything” and offer some practical tips for leveraging this idea in your coaching to create more awareness and transformative results. Hear the difference between applying this phrase to beliefs versus actions, and how to guide your clients in experimenting with new ways of thinking.    Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/205
