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 only ever try this stuff when my kid is already in full meltdown, and that’s exactly when it comes out stiff and scripted and falls apart
  • One part of me wants out, another part won’t let me, and they just war with each other on a loop
  • When I coach people, almost everything out of my mouth is about their body
