193. 2 Things Nobody Tells You About Failure

Author: Lindsay Dotzlaf July 9, 2024 Duration: 17:58

I recently did an interview for a colleague of mine, Jasmine Myers. She's been a business coach for a while now and she's interviewing tons of businesswomen. She asked me a question, and the answer has been on my mind ever since. She asked what's one secret I would share that has made my business successful. My answer was: you need to be able to fail.

 

Tune in this week to discover how to use failure to actually move you forward as a coach. I share why this isn't about just getting back up and trying the same thing over and over, discuss what failure really means, and you'll learn the truth about failure and how to use it as a tool to make you a better coach for your clients.

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.
