Today's don't: don't assume people know what coaching is. Today's do: acceptance, self-acceptance, and gratitude are your business superpowers. Don't: don't assume people know what coaching is If you're fresh out of coach training, you've been surrounded by coach-speak for weeks. "How does that resonate with you?" "How do you feel that in your body?" "Are you living authentically and on purpose?" These are useful questions, but they're also insider language.
