Coaching a Hero’s Journey (BYO Dragon)

Facing the unknown takes guts—whether it’s a dragon or a big life decision. Growth begins the moment we stop backing down.

In every great story, there’s a moment when the hero stands at the edge of something unfamiliar, staring down the dragons of fear, self-doubt, and “what if I screw this up?” That moment—the pause before the leap—is what your clients are living when they show up for coaching.

They may not be battling literal fire-breathers, but the emotional ones? Oh, they’re very real.

🔥 The career pivot that feels like freefall.

🔥 The relationship that’s asking for more vulnerability than they’re used to.

🔥 The quiet knowing that it’s time to stop settling—but no map in sight.

These are the dragons. And your client? They’re the one holding the sword.

You, Coach, are not the slayer. You’re the guide. The one who walks beside them, steady and sharp-eyed, reminding them they’re capable—especially when they forget.

When you bring the ICF Core Competencies into that sacred space, you’re not just having a conversation. You're coaching their hero's journey. You’re helping someone rewrite their story—with tools sharper than a sword and compassion strong enough to melt fear on contact. 🐉
