Coaching Clients through Uncertain Times

Joannaig Square@2x

In today’s deeply resonant episode, we dive into a topic many of us are feeling but not always discussing openly: how do we coach effectively—and live meaningfully—during times of profound global uncertainty? From political upheaval to climate crises and economic shifts, we explore practical ways to support clients towards their goals when everything feels wobbly, both for ourselves and our clients.

What You’ll Learn

  • Why so many clients are struggling right now (even if they don’t explicitly connect it to world events)

  • Practical tools to help clients move from overwhelm to agency without bypassing their genuine feelings

  • How to hold both pain and hope simultaneously (the powerful paradox that creates true healing)

  • Why “tying sessions up in a neat bow” can sometimes do more harm than good

  • What coaches and practitioners need to do for themselves in order to better help clients
