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 coach people, almost everything out of my mouth is about their body
• 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
• I sit down to coach someone through what happened and they’re already braced, because they know I’ve made up my mind about how they did
• The people I coach leave fired up with a plan, but the first ordinary snag throws them and the whole thing quietly dies
