The importance of understanding and working with emotions cannot be overstated if we are to truly help our clients move forward. As coach Brandy Chase shares, it’s not only our client’s emotions we have to deal with—often, it’s our own.

Show Notes

Brandy Chase is an ACES coach at Mirasee and the founder of Serenimity, a coaching practice that empowers women to find deeper connections with themselves and others. Often, overcoming shame is a big part of that. Shame is a profound emotion that can really tear us apart and hold us back—if we let it.

In this episode, Brandy and Melinda speak intimately and candidly about the powerful emotions, particularly shame, that can sometimes stand in our way. This beautifully moving episode is packed with insights and tips all coaches can use, not only to help their clients but to also help themselves.

In this episode we discuss:

What is the difference between guilt and shame?
How to recognize shame in yourself and your clients.
Ways to ground yourself when you feel triggered.
The importance of a reset after coaching sessions.
When you might need to refer a client to someone else.
What can be a benefit of negative emotion?

“Sometimes we're not going to have good weeks…and sometimes there's a reason and sometimes there's not, and it's all okay.”

“I love to work with women and really help them get out of their own way.”

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.
