Introducing: Please Don’t Coach Me — What Coaching Schools Won’t Tell You

Welcome to the debut episode of Please Don’t Coach Me, the show that dares to say what the coaching industry won’t. Coaching has exploded. But beneath the polished frameworks and “powerful questions” lie some uncomfortable truths. In this series, we strip away the jargon, challenge the sacred cows of coach training, and talk candidly about what actually helps people grow, and what doesn’t. This isn’t anti-coaching. It’s real coaching, minus the performative fluff. Whether you’re a seasoned coach, a skeptical leader, or someone who’s ever sat through a coaching session wondering “what was that?”, you’re in the right place. In this kickoff episode, we explore:

  • Why the coaching industry needs a reality check

  • What coaching schools aren’t telling you

  • When coaching becomes self-serving (and how to spot it)

  • What truly transformative coaching feels like

    Subscribe, share, and buckle up — it’s about to get real.
