Hey, children what’s that sound? … What’s that nagging, self-doubting noise rattling around up there in your head? Oh yeah … that’s YOU, dammit (or your Inner Critic more accurately)! In this episode, Jenn and Karen have your back when it comes to shutting off the loud voice that drowns out your confidence. They break down ways we can help our clients get out of their own heads. Here’s the hint: Action trumps inner critic. Every. single. time.

In this episode, Jenn and Karen give you the skinny and the scoop on three ways to approach the issue of confidence with your clients. In just a few minutes, you’ll come away with a boatload of questions—especially ones that will help you get your confidence conversation started on the right path. Posing the right questions will get your clients thinking differently about their relationship to confidence. Game on!

Going below the surface of the Inner Critic, this episode is all about how to coach clients to see what’s holding them back. Jenn and Karen explain why action can really be the cure for fear – tackling the uncertainty by doing. Because in the end, you can – your client can – overcome fear by realizing that they may not land perfectly – but they’ll still land on their feet.

Fear is an illusion. Sure, if you are in physical danger, fear is real. However, the fear of failure, the fear of success, the fear of rejection is all stuff we make up.

Jenn and Karen talk about how it isn’t failure we are afraid of — it is not wanting to feel the feelings of failure. Two completely different things.

A follow-up to The Voice in Your Head is an A-Hole, this episode focuses on the origin of your Inner Critic—why it came about and what it means.

Jenn and Karen break it down with a spot-on anecdote to help you understand why figuring out your Inner Critic can help you or your client step through fear and into (BAM!) greatness.

What is the Inner Critic all about? How does it show up in your life? How does it show up for your clients and what is it keeping them from achieving?

In this episode, Jenn and Karen give their introduction to the concept of ‘the voice in your head is an A-hole’ with a few tips for quieting it down.

Do you know how many types of tuna there are in this world? There’s a right time and wrong time to intrude. Sometimes our clients need to vent. Sometimes they need to be validated. And sometimes they need for you—as their coach—to intrude. Intruding is not interrupting. It’s an important step to keep your client on point rather than getting mired in the tuna aisle. What??? Listen in … it’s good stuff.

How do we, as coaches, help our clients understand what’s really happening? What’s really their recurring complaint? It’s bigger than a hefty bag overflowing with mac and cheese boxes. There’s a story the client is telling themselves. This episode builds off the MSU® concept. Jenn and Karen quickly get to the point in this episode about shifting conversations … to get to The Thing Behind the Thing.

We call B.S.! Give your clients the gift of calling bullsh*t on the stories they make up about themselves and others. MSU® is when we Make Sh*t Up … when we fill in the blanks without a clue. We all have master’s degrees from this not-so-esteemed institution. We make assumptions and put our energy in the wrong place. Becoming mindful of this is a gamechanger … Listen to Jenn and Karen break it down.
