293. The Relationship Shaping Your Coaching Business

293. The Relationship Shaping Your Coaching Business

Author: Lindsay Dotzlaf June 9, 2026 Duration: 24:54

Every coaching business has two roles running behind the scenes: the part of you making the big decisions and the part of you doing the day-to-day work. When those two roles are not communicating clearly, your business can start to feel heavier, more chaotic, or harder to run than it needs to.

     

In this episode, I talk about the relationship between your inner CEO and inner employee and how that dynamic shapes the way you make decisions, follow through, evaluate results, and talk to yourself when things do not go as planned. This is not about spending more time as the CEO and less time as the employee, but about understanding how both roles show up in your 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.
