Coffee House Coaching

Ep 146 Dave Nieman - Thrown into Coaching / "Jarring" / Need more "Listen Shows"

Season 3 Episode 146

Coaching Highlights – Conversations That Matter

  • Thrown into coaching—and luckily, stuck the landing.
  • Mastering the power of the pause—because silence speaks volumes.
  • Blending internal and external coaching like a fine espresso blend.
  • That “jarring” feeling when you hold back... and let silence do its thing.
  • Asking, “What was this experience like for you?” (Yes, that’s the gold.)
  • No pressure, no expectations—just an invitation.
  • Asking the "Best Boss / Worst Boss" question—watch clarity unfold.
  • Helping clients slide into the driver’s seat of their own lives.
  • Staying in coaching mode even when the formal session ends.
  • Because honestly, the world needs fewer “Talk Shows” and more “Listen Shows.”
  • That magical moment when coaching just clicks.
  • Showing up aware, curious, and kind (not a bad trifecta).
  • Embracing the give-to-get exchange—let go to grow.
