Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I think I’m asking questions, but they’re really suggestions in disguise
- When I replay my coaching conversations I’m talking way more than the other person

- I practice on my own and only ever find out afterward that the whole thing was wrong, with no idea where I went off the rails
- The people I coach leave fired up with a plan, but the first ordinary snag throws them and the whole thing quietly dies
