Are you the most difficult client? How to tell if you or a client are uncoachable.
Manage episode 489713834 series 2936397
You know that client who seems stuck no matter what you try? Who says they want change, but resists every invitation to actually do the thing?
Sometimes… that client is us.
This one’s a little spicy, a little sobering, and a whole lot clarifying. Because if you’re in the business of helping others grow, you need to be honest about your own coachability too.
And if you’re holding space for someone who’s starting to feel impossible to coach, you’ll want to hear this.
This episode is a compassionate deep-dive into:
- The two flavours of resistance that show up with uncoachable clients (and which one is sneakier)
- The patterns we all fall into when we say we want change… but don’t really
- How to spot uncoachability before it turns into resentment
- What to do when you’re the one hitting a wall (and how to get back into integrity without spiraling)
This isn’t about shame.
It’s about responsibility.
It’s about owning our resistance with curiosity, not judgement—and learning how to move through it, instead of dressing it up as strategy or mindset.
Whether you’re feeling stuck in your own journey, or working with a client who just won’t budge—this one’s here to clear the fog and bring you back to centre.
You’re not wrong. You’re just resistant.
And resistance? That’s just a breadcrumb on the way to breakthrough.
