Most coaches don't struggle because they lack confidence or passion—they struggle because they're in a predictable stage of skill development.

In this episode, I break down the 5 stages of becoming a coach, why each stage feels the way it does, and how learning theory and the four stages of competence explain why so many coaches feel stuck despite doing "all the right things."

We'll talk about:

• Why personal growth doesn't automatically translate into coaching skill

• The difference between consuming information and developing competence

• What I call the coaching gap—and why it's a training issue, not a personal flaw

• How coaches move from intuition and soft skills to real, repeatable results

• What separates good coaches from expert-level coaches

If you're a coach who wants to go beyond the basics, refine your craft, and coach with confidence rooted in skill, this episode will help you identify where you are—and what your next step should be.
