253. Coaching Tools: The 3 Question Reset

Author: Lindsay Dotzlaf September 2, 2025 Duration: 14:40

Sometimes coaching sessions just don't go the way you expect. Your client might show up overwhelmed, jump between topics, or even tell you, "I don't have anything to coach on." In those moments, it's easy to doubt yourself, and wonder how to steer the session without losing your confidence or momentum.

 

That's why I'm sharing a simple coaching skill I call the 3 Question Reset. It's part of my new podcast series, Coaching Tools, where I teach practical frameworks and methods you can start using in your sessions right away to get real results. The 3 Question Reset helps you refocus the conversation and turns tricky, confusing moments into actionable insight - no matter the client or situation.

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.
