Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I’m tempted to pay a real chunk of money for the official course, but I can’t tell whether I’m buying something genuinely unique or just structure and a teacher I could get for free
- My coaching chats end on a warm "I’ll try to get to it" that I let slide as if it were a plan
- When I replay my coaching conversations I’m talking way more than the other person
- I think I’m asking questions, but they’re really suggestions in disguise
- The people I’m training just go through the reps I dictate, checked-out and joyless, and I dictate every detail because I assume that’s my job
