12/1/2025

In this episode of the Coaching Many Podcast, Jennifer and Evana explore the dip—the inevitable low point in any change process when motivation drops, resistance rises, and clients question their commitment. Drawing on Jennifer’s research from international assignments, Seth Godin’s definition of the dip, and insights from the 90 Day Guide for Success, they normalize this phase as a predictable part of growth rather than a setback.
***
They examine how the dip manifests in group and team coaching—from stalled momentum to storming dynamics—and highlight how design, intentionality, and coaching practices help clients stay connected to their vision, values, and capacity. They also discuss how creative tools, attention on trust, safety, and connection, along with a grounded coaching stance, support groups in moving from stuckness to possibility.
***
The conversation widens to identity, AI-driven disruption, and the coach’s ability to hold space without being swept up in client pressure or conflict. Whether you’re working with individuals, teams, or groups, this episode offers practical ways to recognize the dip and support clients in moving through it with clarity and resilience.
***
This episode offers key insights into:

Normalizing the dip in coaching and change
Designing for psychological safety and connection
Using vision, values, and tools to re-energize groups
Supporting identity shifts in group and team coaching
Staying grounded as a coach during conflict or stuckness

EP038: Coaching Mindset in Focus: Empowerment, Presence, and the Art of Letting Go of Expertise

11/3/2025

In this episode of the Coaching Many podcast, we take a deep dive into the ICF competency Embodies a Coaching Mindset—exploring the definition and all eight sub-points in action. From acknowledging that clients are responsible for their own choices to building a reflective practice, regulating emotions, and cultivating coaching presence, we explore how a client-centered coaching approach comes to life in real sessions.

We unpack the distinction between coaching process vs. content, highlighting why coaching is a methodology of empowerment—not expertise—and why “if we think we know it, we probably don’t.” You’ll hear how creating space for a group’s, team’s, or individual’s wisdom to emerge requires curiosity, flexibility, and a willingness to let themes and patterns lead the way.

Whether you work in group coaching, team coaching, or one-on-one contexts, this conversation will help you embody the coaching mindset—listening for what truly wants to be explored, shifting from coach-led to participant-led dialogue, and unlocking deeper transformation in every conversation.
