    Why Intuition Isn’t Coaching: How to Spot and Stop Projection in Sessions

    Description:  As a coach, you care deeply about helping your clients grow—but what if your “intuition” in sessions is actually getting in the way? In this episode of The Art & Skill of Coaching, we’re diving into a powerful and often uncomfortable topic: projection in coaching.  You’ll learn what projection actually is, why it happens (even with the best intentions), how to spot it in your own practice, and—most importantly—what to do instead.

We cover: What projection looks like in coaching sessions (with real examples) The difference between true intuition vs. unexamined bias Why coaching from your “gut” isn’t always a good thing This episode is a must-listen for life coaches, business coaches, mindset coaches, and therapists-turned-coaches who are serious about coaching with integrity and excellence.   Learn more about The Art & Skill of Coaching certification: https://www.jessicademarchis.com/the-art-skill-of-coaching   ASC Waitlist: https://purple-lion-72607.myflodesk.com/ascwaitlist    Stay in Touch: www.jessicademarchis.com IG @jess_demarchis_coaching   The Coach Skill Audit: https://purple-lion-72607.myflodesk.com/coachskillaudit    Coach Question of the Week: https://purple-lion-72607.myflodesk.com/agcj1mr1y3    The Shadow Side of Caring (Episode 78): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-art-skill-of-coaching/id1612960277

    Why Mindset and Action Aren’t Always Enough: Using the PIE Framework in Coaching

    Description:  As a life coach, you’ve probably guided clients through powerful mindset shifts and strategic action plans—but what happens when neither leads to meaningful change? In this episode, I introduce you to the PIE framework (Person-In-Environment)—a game-changing coaching lens rooted in psychology and social science. You’ll learn how to help clients identify and navigate external barriers that may be impacting their progress, from cultural influences and workplace dynamics to geographic and systemic limitations. We’ll explore: Why mindset and behavior change sometimes fall short How to assess both internal and external factors in a client’s life How this framework fosters empowerment without enabling stagnation Whether you're a new coach or an experienced practitioner, this episode will deepen your understanding of client transformation and help you deliver more sustainable, context-sensitive results.

    Decode Your Client’s Mind: CBT & NLP Tools for Masterful Coaching

    Description:  Ever wonder why your client keeps repeating the same patterns, even after doing all the "right" things? In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on a powerful framework I teach inside The Art and Skill of Coaching — one that helps you truly understand how your client thinks, and more importantly, how to help them change it. You’ll learn the Internal Operating System model, a science-backed process inspired by CBT and NLP that reveals: How your client filters and interprets information Why emotions and behaviors aren’t random (they’re programmed!) Where to intervene for lasting change We’ll break it down step-by-step, then walk through a real-world case of a client struggling with dating — so you can see exactly how to use this model in your own coaching sessions. If you're ready to go beyond surface-level coaching and start creating deep, sustainable change, this episode is for you.

    Why Your Coaching Feels Off (And How Taking Notes Can Fix It)

    Description: Most coaches think they’re listening — but if you're not using your client’s exact words, you're likely missing the mark. In this episode of The Art and Skill of Coaching, I’m diving into one of the most common mistakes I see when auditing coaching sessions: interpreting instead of reflecting. This subtle but powerful error can break trust, block transformation, and even keep your client stuck. You’ll learn: Why repeating your version of what the client said damages connection The neuroscience behind using a client’s exact language How to use “clean summaries” that build clarity and move sessions forward A simple but powerful habit (note-taking!) that will upgrade your coaching immediately A real-world case example that shows you exactly how to apply this If you want to deepen your skills, build subconscious rapport, and make every word count — this episode is for you.
