✅ Struggling in coaching clients? While the struggle is real, the struggle is also necessary, and it is good for us. Thank God! Chad writes "Sometimes coaching can be a frustrating, challenging, and tiresome job. I experienced many of the pains of coaching all in one week recently: Two no-show clients. A client who came ready to complain, but not ready to work. Partners and vendors who seemed hell-bent on making my job harder, not easier. Technology woes that included multiple issues with my meeting platform, Zoom. A scheduling glitch that had me double-booked with two very important clients. A marketing event that cost me $500 attracted twenty-seven of the wrong people. If it sounds like I’m complaining, it’s because I just did. But the purpose of this post is not to air my frustrations. Instead, it’s to celebrate and appreciate the obstacles that trip us up, slow us down, sidetrack us, and stress us. Why celebrate? Because friction is needed.

✅ How can we help clients navigate? When something becomes meaningful, it becomes useful—it becomes applicable. Meaning makes the situation much more navigable. Brian writes "On our honeymoon, Danelle and I were traveling southeast through southern Indiana on our way to the Smoky Mountains when the road suddenly ended. Looking ahead, the blacktop petered out and an enormous pile of rock lay right in the middle of the road. At least, it would have, had there been a road. We had chosen this route based on a map of Indiana, which showed this to be the shortest and fastest route. We stopped at a nearby gas station and inquired about the situation: “What happened to the road?” The answer was simple, it wasn’t finished yet. This was 1991, pre-GPS, pre-Google Maps. The map we purchased of southern Indiana had put this new road on their map even though it wasn’t quite finished. Maps did not automatically update in those days.

✅New Blog Post! The Goodness of Limitations Chad writes...I think it was Clint Eastwood’s Dirty Harry character who quipped, “A man’s got to know his limitations.” As coaches, we tend to be anti-limitations. Many of our clients are held back by limiting beliefs, assumptions, and perspectives. We often encourage clients to think bigger and to stretch beyond the constraints that they allow to hold them back. But maybe some limits are good. In fact, maybe we coaches can serve our clients by helping them know their limitations. I’ve learned to recognize the positive power some limits can have on my life and for my clients. Let me share three specific limitations that serve to help us make the most of life....
