See Leadership Differently Thanks to Coaching!

That was the moment I realized coaching skills weren’t just helpful in the coaching conversations I had with my one-on-one coach. They were shaping how I saw people at my day job—and how I showed up in every room I was in.

What If Being a Beginner Is Exactly Where You’re Meant to Be?

What If Being a Beginner Is Exactly Where You’re Meant to Be?

We’ve been taught to value certainty. To have the answer. To be the expert.

And especially if you’re a coach or someone who supports others for a living, there can be this unspoken pressure to always be one step ahead.

But here’s the truth I’ve learned again and again: Being a beginner is a gift—if we let it be.

What If There’s Enough for Everyone?

What If There’s Enough for Everyone?

It’s a mindset that says that if someone else has more, I must have less.

And if I have more, someone else will go without.

This way of thinking is very sneaky. It hides underneath comparison, guilt, competition, and scarcity. And whether you’re a coach or not, it affects how you show up in your work, your relationships, and your decisions.

The Coaching Habits That Are Slowing Your Clients Down

Back then, I felt responsible for the success of every session. If my client wasn’t having big insights, I worried I was doing something wrong. If they were quiet, I rushed in with a new question. If they seemed stuck, I felt like it was on me to guide them out of it.

What Happens When You Bet on You?

Most people don’t hold themselves back because they lack ability. They hold themselves back because they focus more on what could go wrong than on what’s possible.

The Relief You’re Feeling—Is It the Right Kind?

The Relief You’re Feeling—Is It the Right Kind?

Relief is a beautiful thing when it comes at the right time, in the right way. It can signal that you’ve honored your capacity, completed something important, or given yourself permission to move toward something you truly want (even when it feels very hard.)

But if your relief is coming from stepping back too soon, it might be worth staying with the discomfort just a little longer—because your success/dream/breakthrough/certainty may be right on the other side.

Taking Care of You After a Coaching Session

Taking Care of You After a Coaching Session

If you want to create a sustainable, fulfilling coaching practice, you need space to process, reset, and reflect after your sessions. Otherwise, you might find yourself carrying unprocessed emotions, second-guessing your work, or feeling drained before your next session even begins.

The Decision You Think You Made (But Haven’t Really)

The Decision You Think You Made (But Haven’t Really)

This pattern—flip-flopping, second-guessing, and revisiting decisions—has a cost. It drains time, energy, and confidence. And often, the biggest thing holding us back isn’t the decision itself—it’s our fear of commitment.

Compassion in Uncertain Times.

Compassion in Uncertain Times.

Compassion isn’t about minimizing pain, having all the answers, or figuring everything out right away—it’s about creating space for tenderness, listening, and kindness, even when things feel upside down.

Building Community: Coaching to Connect

Building Community: Coaching to Connect

The truth is that we can’t avoid differences—in our partnerships, friendships, or collaborations. But coaching teaches us how to approach differences with empathy and intention.

It’s not about “fixing” relationships or making everyone agree—it’s about fostering trust, mutual respect, and the ability to hold space for multiple truths.

Empathy: The Bridge to Understanding

Empathy: The Bridge to Understanding

Empathy has a way of softening the hardest edges.

When we feel truly understood, we become more open—to others, to new ideas, and even to ourselves.

The Art of Truly Seeing and Hearing

The Art of Truly Seeing and Hearing

David Brooks writes, “Seeing another person deeply is not just an act of perception but an act of creation.” When we listen with intention and reflect with empathy, we help the other person articulate who they are, perhaps in a way they’ve never done before.

This is especially true in coaching. When a client sits across from us, they are often confronted with questions, doubts, or dreams they haven’t yet voiced. Our role is to create a space where they feel safe enough to explore.

The Magic of Open-Ended Questions

The Magic of Open-Ended Questions

Open-ended questions don't just solicit an answer—they invite more introspection.

They allow you (or your client) to explore what you or they think, feel, or want with fewer limitations of a yes or no.

They create more understanding and broaden perspectives.

Unveiling The Transformative Power Of Awareness

Awareness helps you make meaning between what you feel, how you interpret information, and what you do.

This connection is crucial because it shapes how you show up in the world, relate to others, and care for yourself.

Lights, Camera, Self-Doubt Drama

I’ve decided to commit to taking small daily actions that help me be present with my self-doubt instead of using it as a permission slip to stay paralyzed in fear of what could go wrong.

The Self-Protection Solution
Katie Pulsifer Katie Pulsifer

The Self-Protection Solution

The first step is just to be aware as we stare at ourselves in the mirror or sit down at our computers to write and post, to notice that our brain is making meaning of what it is experiencing.

Our brains write a story that is separate from who we are.

And precisely because of this separateness, we can see and opt out of negative thinking.
