Master Coach Series (Ep. 1): 4 Skills Coaches Think They Have… But Don’t
Description: Welcome to Episode 1 of the 4-part Master Coach Series, celebrating 200 episodes of The Art and Skill of Coaching— a top 2% global podcast dedicated to psychology-based coaching. Today, we’re kicking off the series with a foundational episode: The 4 core skills most coaches think they have… but don’t. Because while empathy, intuition, and “holding space” matter, they are not what create consistent, repeatable change. Coaching is a skill set rooted in psychology, neuroscience, and evidence-based methods — and in this episode, you’ll learn the exact skills that separate supportive coaches from truly transformational ones. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why relying on likability, rapport, or intuition keeps clients stuck The difference between supportive coaching and effective coaching The 4 critical skills every masterful coach needs: Pattern Recognition (beyond behaviors — into beliefs, defenses & identity) Nervous System Awareness & Regulation (why activated clients cannot change) Creating True Safety (structure > niceness) Proper Questioning Strategy (directional, neutral, non-leading questions) You’ll walk away with practical tools — including the CPP method and the 4 Quadrants of Directional Questioning — that you can implement immediately to make your coaching more precise, impactful, and psychologically accurate. This episode sets the tone for the entire Master Coach Series running through the end of the year — and trust me, it only gets better. 🎉 Help us celebrate 200 episodes!
