Lisa Bloom is a coach and Director of Mirasee’s ACES Business Acceleration Program. 

In this episode we discuss:
  • How your client’s challenges mirror your own.
  • What to do when a client’s issue triggers your own.
  • Holding space without buying into your client’s limiting beliefs.
  • How to check your own self awareness.
  • Creating boundaries with your emotions and empathy.
  • The importance of having your own coach or mentor to talk through things with.
  • Processes for self coaching and not taking work into your personal life.
  • Identifying comparative suffering to make sure you’re staying present with your client.
  • Letting go of personal stories that no longer serve you and helping your clients do the same.

“We can't do this comparative suffering thing; we have to be able to see our client where they are and help them come up with strategies to deal with what they're struggling with.”
– Lisa Bloom

What is Just Between Coaches?

Where do coaches turn when they face a difficult situation with a client? Quite often, when coaching challenges arise, they reach out to a coach more senior than themselves. That’s the aim of Just Between Coaches — to be that trusted source of guidance for the coaching community.

Hosted by Melinda Cohan, coach and creator of The Coaches Console business management system, Just Between Coaches will answer the tough questions that coaches face every day. For example, what can I do if my client is lying? How do I deal with price resistance from prospects and clients? What if I want to fire a coaching client? And what the heck is a feeder course and why should I care?

This tactical podcast will provide a deep dive into one coaching topic per episode, which means searching for answers will be a breeze. It will also offer a simple way for listeners to refer other coaches who are grappling with those tough coaching questions. To submit a tough question you’re facing as a coach, put “JBC” in the subject line and send it to podcasts@mirasee.com.
