Do you ever have performance anxiety during coaching sessions?
If you’re a new coach, that’s totally normal. With mindfulness and experience that feeling diminishes.
In my early days, I was so anxious about delivering value that I over-delivered. I felt drained instead of energized by sessions.
That’s a red flag indicating something is off and needs attention.
It took me a while to realize that being in a performative state — trying so hard to coach well — my clients weren’t relaxing into coaching and getting enough value.
It’s a circular problem. To be themselves and access their truth in sessions, coaching clients need to feel safe in your presence.
Cultivating an atmosphere of safety begins well BEFORE they hire you. It’s in your messaging and marketing. It’s on your website and in your social posts.
It’s about connection not performance.
Let’s talk about ways to cultivate trust from day 1 in your coaching business.
