In this week's episode we are talking about a subject that was requested and we can understand why. We are talking about coaching anxiety and a number of things can come up when anxiety is mentioned by a client. For some coaches there may be a worry that people with anxiety are not ready to be coached or it might trigger our own anxiety and worries that we can’t support someone in the coaching role with this.
To support coaches with this we discuss:
- Why anxiety might be seen as something that a person needs to fix or get rod of
- Anxiety as an emotion
- How you can help a coachee to explore their anxiety
- Scenario based anxiety
- Ways you can resource a client to support their anxiety
- How curiosity can be an important tool
- Questions that can help the coachee to invite distance between themselves and the emotion
Anxiety can be common so it is important to consider the role you will play as a coach to support someone with their anxiety. There are many ways a coach can have a positive impact on anxiety and it is important that coaches start to understand how their role can help.

075 How to Build Rapport
In this week's episode we are talking about building rapport with your coaching clients. We get asked about this alot so thought it would be a good subject to address as rapport building looks quite different when developing it personally rather than professionally.
We discuss:
- what rapport is and the role it plays when coaching
- when rapport building begins
- where rapport is built
- how it is built through tone of voice and body language to name a few
- the role of curiosity, listening and deep inquiry
- how important calibration is to rapport building
- the power of rapport with self
Rapport is an important part of the coaching relationship and needs to be considered in every second of the coaching session and we can understand that the rapport building process can begin long before a person even becomes a client. So, intentionally building rapport at all stages of the process is so important.
