192. The Power of Asking "What Do You Want?"

Author: Lindsay Dotzlaf July 2, 2024 Duration: 12:19

What do you want? Maybe you notice yourself making decisions out of obligation and not questioning it, but dreading everything you do. I'm calling myself out too, because sometimes, we forget that the first step to moving forward is to stop and truly think about what we want.

 

Learn why asking yourself, "What do you want?" is one of the most powerful questions we can ask ourselves and our clients. I'm inviting you to experiment with all the options available to you and showing you how sitting with the discomfort of not knowing what you want can be transformational for your life and business.

There’s a gap between learning the theory of coaching and actually sitting with a client in a real, messy session. Mastering Coaching Skills lives in that space. Hosted by life coach Lindsay Dotzlaf, this podcast moves beyond certifications and coursework to focus on the practical, often unspoken, abilities that define great coaches. Lindsay draws from her own experiences to discuss how to navigate tricky client conversations, build genuine confidence, and apply techniques in ways that feel authentic. You’ll hear specific stories from the coaching room-what worked, what didn’t, and the nuanced decisions behind each session. It’s for coaches who are done just studying and are ready to deepen their craft through actionable reflection. Each episode feels like a candid mentorship chat, offering tangible advice you can use immediately. If you’re building a coaching practice in the business, entrepreneurship, or personal development fields, this podcast serves as a steady resource for honing the real-world skills that truly make a difference for your clients. Tune in for a thoughtful, grounded approach to professional growth that prioritizes practical mastery over more theory.
