Lifting The Lid - Episode 126 - "I'm not good enough" - The one where we talk about right-sizing yourself as a coach
Clare and Steve discuss some common challenges for coaches, beginning with feeling inadequate or "not good enough," often stemming from a lack of external feedback after completing coach training. They note this "playing small" mindset typically evolves over time into a desire to "play bigger" and have more impact. And yet, even experienced coaches can doubt themselves. Also, if we play too big we risk reducing the 'size' of our clients or our fellow coaches in group supervision. Right-sizing ourselves is a never-ending quest. Contrary to this idea of a quest though, the conversation touches both Clare and Steve in the profound realisation that acknowledgement is the key to supervision. Acknowledging who you are, where you are, and what you are feeling no matter whether you think this is “big enough” to bring to supervision. In doing so, the paradoxical nature of change will enable your growth without the need to strive. We are all good enough!This podcast series is supported by Trusted Coach DirectoryIn an unregulated industry, where anyone can call themselves a coach, the Trusted Coach Directory exists to raise the profile, credibility and standard of professional coaches and supervisors.
