Life, Mastered with Molly Claire 161. Strategies to Improve Your Coaching: A Master Coach Journey with Jackie Swainson
On this week's episode of The Masterful Coach, Molly Claire interviews one of her Master Coach Trainees, Jackie Swainson, about her coaching experience before, during and after her time in Master Coach Training.
What compelled you to want to be a part of Master Coach Training and expand your training and knowledge?
The previous trainings I had been in seemed like they were only touching the surface; you could tell there was more. I didn't really have the depth I wanted to go or help clients go to. I could feel in my body that something was missing. Having struggled with anxiety for years, I knew that it wasn't just in my head, that there was a physical response, a nervous system response. I wanted to somehow connect all of the pieces together. I did a lot of research and heard your name a lot. I thought this is a woman who can really teach me something. You can read all you want, but I love being taught.
So you came to Master Coach Training because you knew there was more; you could feel that some things were missing, and this was the place to get it. What is it like for you now as a coach in your sessions, having more of the skillset and having that whole-person view?
I can see and hear and feel what my clients are saying, what they are telling me, and what they are meaning. It is like reading between the lines; you get this intuition, this sort of sense of where they are. And that helps me ask questions that will guide them where they may not want to go, but I can guide them gently. I can give them perspective and help them find a perspective that is different because I am looking not just at what they are telling me; I'm looking at them; I'm listening to them. I am able to help my clients get into their hearts. I am learning alongside my clients.
What are the top two or three things that you've either incorporated in our coaching because of Master Coach Training or what's really enhanced your ability to really serve your clients?
What I learned the most is that I can trust myself. And if I can trust myself, other people can trust me. I am building that trust and personal connection. It is the foundation.
