Description: Most coaches genuinely want to help—but good intentions don't override impact.
In this Master Coach Series episode celebrating 200+ podcast episodes, Jess breaks down the seven coaching mistakes even well-trained coaches are unintentionally making that keep clients stuck.

These mistakes show up across every niche—from life coaching to business coaching. Inside this episode, you'll learn how to coach at a higher, more effective, more ethical level by avoiding the patterns that derail client progress.

You'll learn:

• Why cheerleading actually prevents transformation

• How "Curious George" questioning sabotages momentum

• The difference between coaching the symptom vs. the system

• How safety strategies drive self-sabotage

• The leadership skills every professional coach must master

• Why you can't coach a dysregulated nervous system

• The subtle (and uncomfortable) ways coaches become coach-centered instead of client-centered

When you eliminate these blind spots, your coaching becomes sharper, cleaner, and dramatically more impactful—and your clients start getting the results they hired you for.
