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.

Most coaches are trained to do one thing well:
either push clients forward with action and accountability or take them deep with insight and awareness.

Great coaches do both — at the same time.

In this episode of The Art School of Coaching, I break down what it actually means to move a client deep and forward simultaneously, why most coaching training fails to teach this skill, and how that gap leads to unsustainable results, resistance, and client frustration.

You'll learn:

• Why action without depth creates temporary change

• Why insight without tools increases overwhelm

• The psychology behind sustainable behavior change

• The ABC Model (Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence) and how it's used in evidence-based coaching

• How to rework beliefs and implement aligned behavior for lasting results

If you want to coach using science-backed frameworks, create deeper client transformations, and build a coaching practice based on science — this episode is for you.

Many talented coaches struggle with consistency, income ceilings, and burnout—not because they aren't good enough, but because they're coaching from energy instead of skill.

In this episode of The Art and Skill of Coaching, I break down why motivation, rapport, and personal experience aren't sustainable foundations for professional coaching—and what it actually means to coach from skill.

You'll learn:

• The difference between surface-level coaching and professional skill-based coaching

• Why relying on energy leads to inconsistent client results

• How structure and frameworks protect intuition (not kill it)

• The two types of structure every coach needs to scale their impact

• Why breadth of skill matters more than having a "favorite" modality

If you want to create consistent results, scale your income, and coach effectively even when you're tired or uninspired, this episode is for you.
