In this episode of Coaches on Zoom Drinking Coffee, Coaching.com CEO Alex Pascal hosts guest Marcia Reynolds: bestselling author, president of Covisioning LLC, and the creator of Breakthrough Coaching.

Marcia’s work focuses on helping coaches to find a balance between structure and flow in their coaching sessions. During this conversation, she explains the role of emotions in coaching and the risk of overusing formulas and frameworks to the detriment of forging authentic connection.

One of Marcia’s core beliefs is that there is great importance in who you are as a coach, not just what you do. This was the perfect opportunity for her to describe the Breakthrough Coaching method and how it empowers coaches to embody their unique coaching identity, thereby ensuring they (and their clients) feel safe.

Breakthrough Coaching has recently become an online course on Coaching.com, and this year it will become a book too. At this exciting moment for her method, Marcia speaks about how coaches can create that “aha” moment of new insight and awareness. She shares why she describes coaches as “external disruptors” of their clients’ thought patterns as well as why that outside force will always be necessary for true transformation.

If you’re interested in learning strategies for effective reflective inquiry, understanding how to be present during difficult coaching sessions, and developing what it takes to produce greater results more quickly, then you’ll enjoy this episode of Coaches on Zoom Drinking Coffee.
