Now We're Getting Somewhere

On today’s podcast, I’m sharing an interview I did with my former client, Julie.   Our coaching work together covered many things – including a deep dive into decision-making + how to get better at it. In our conversation, Julie and I talk about:   + The list of super-useful thoughts she cultivated about decision-making (which you should absolutely steal).   + The 4-part decision-making process she developed in our work together (which she now uses to help the people she loves – like her roommate — make big decisions).   + Her ability to tell the difference between feelings/thoughts that are “swirl” vs. “navigational.”   + And more — including more about what it feels like to get coached!   I found myself grinning throughout this interview – Julie is such an insightful + creative person — and I’m sure you’re going to love it, too.   Subscribe to my newsletter for encouraging + helpful insights every Sunday: katieseaver.com/newsletter   Follow me on Instagram: @thisiskatieseaver   Learn more about working with me, or just learn more about my background + why I became a coach: katieseaver.com

​​One of the most common questions I hear is some form of: so what actually *happens* on a coaching engagement?   This is a great question. After all, life coaching is a relatively new profession, so many people aren’t familiar with it. And different coaches run their coaching engagements in different ways.   Today I answer this question in two ways: from a more high-level arc of the overall engagement, and on the micro level within each coaching session.   I hope this episode gives you more insight on what coaching with me would be like.   Subscribe to my newsletter for encouraging + helpful insights every Sunday: katieseaver.com/newsletter   Follow me on Instagram: @thisiskatieseaver   Learn more about working with me, or just learn more about my background + why I became a coach: katieseaver.com

Today I am talking about “what happened” conversations.   A “what happened” conversation is a type of conversation that is incredibly useful when you are in a difficult, resentful, angry, or frustrated situation with someone.   In this episode I explain more about what a “what happened” conversation is, why it’s useful, and when to do it. I get specific, sharing some scripts + common mistakes (and how to avoid them).   This episode will help you to more easily resolve challenges with partners, family, friends, and colleagues.
