What to Do When Your Coaching Feels Stuck (And You Know Your Client is Trying)

Have you ever had a coaching client who’s engaged, reflective, and genuinely trying — but you keep coming back to the same issue session after session?

In this episode, I’m talking about what’s really going on when coaching feels stuck even though your client is doing the work. This is a common experience for coaches, and it’s not a sign that you’re failing — it’s usually a signal that something important hasn’t been addressed yet.

I walk you through:

  • What I specifically listen for when sessions start going in circles
  • Two of the most common reasons progress stalls with motivated clients
  • How I name patterns (and the "elephant in the room") without judgment or pressure
  • Why this is one of the most challenging — and important — coaching skills to develop

If you’ve ever left a session thinking, “We talked a lot, but nothing really shifted,” this episode will help you understand why — and what to do next time.

In this episode, I’m talking about why that moment isn’t a coaching failure — and why, in many cases, it’s actually a sign that you’re doing real, meaningful work.

We’re unpacking the fear that lives underneath “not knowing,” why so many coaches panic when sessions don’t go as planned, and how much of that anxiety comes from holding an unspoken agenda about where the session should go.

I also explore the difference between agenda-driven, outcome-focused coaching and curiosity-driven, co-active coaching — and why letting go of the need to steer your client toward a specific insight, solution, or action often creates far more powerful results.

This is a conversation about trust.
Trusting the process.
Trusting your client.
And trusting yourself as a coach — even (and espe...
