Coaching is a personal experience that is built by the coach and the coachee. You build trust by showing up authentically to every session and being relatable. Showing vulnerability, your human side makes all the difference.

When a client questions my coaching skills, I focus on shared experiences and effective strategies. By demonstrating knowledge through relatable case studies, I showing how others have benefitted from a similar journey. Setting clear, achievable goals together creates a roadmap for success, highlighting my commitment to their personal growth. Active listening and empathy play a critical role in building rapport, ensuring clients feel understood and supported from the beginning. This approach not only proves my value but fosters a positive coaching relationship.

Clients appreciate honesty, so it’s important to be true to yourself. Be open about both your successes and the lessons you've learned as a coach. When you share your vulnerabilities in the right way, it can help strengthen relationships and build trust. For example, I once worked with a client who was unsure if I could assist them in taking on a leadership position. Rather than argue my qualifications, I chose to listen to their concerns and turned those doubts into chances for us to work together on their development. This change in approach transformed their skepticism into a mutual dedication to achieving their goals. Results speak.

When a client doubts your expertise in the first session, don’t let it shake you, let it guide you. ✅ Focus on building trust by listening deeply and asking the right questions. ✅ Share insights, not to prove yourself, but to spark their curiosity about their own potential. ✅ Show empathy, stay confident, and let your skills shine through. A powerful first session isn’t about convincing them; it’s about creating a space where they feel SEEN, HEARD, AND READY TO EXPLORE TRANSFORMATION WITH YOU.

When dealing with client doubt, first acknowledge doubt is common and natural. That first session sets the tone for subsequent sessions. Take some time to prepare for a few minutes before the session. Ask the client What they want to get out of the session. Ask the client How their life will be different if they accomplish this goal. Then listen. Let the client guide the direction of the session as much as possible. Reflect back key words that you keep hearing the client say, and ask what those words represent. The most important skill for my clients is my ability to hear what is not said. I offer that observation to the client, and acknowledge I might be wrong. When I do that, most clients recognize just how deeply I AM listening.
