Dear Coaches: Can We Talk About the Weird Stuff We Say (aka Coach-Speak)?

When your coaching sounds more crystal ball than clarity… it’s time for a language refresh.

So, real talk.

If you’ve ever paused mid-session and heard yourself say something like “I just want to honor what’s present”, only to realize your client is looking at you like you just summoned a crystal ball… this blog post is for you.

Welcome to the beautiful, bizarre world of coach-speak. You know, that high-vibe, ultra-earnest, occasionally mystical language many of us inherited from our training programs.
