So much value in every episode

I just love this podcast and the whole community that contributes to it. As a coach it’s so great to normalize the idea that you never gain 100% mastery and they’re always going to be moments where you’re not sure exactly what to do. I love the safe and educational space!!

Mastery indeed

Lindsay I think that you knew exactly what you were doing when you chose the name of your podcast, you have done that and more. I love listening to every single episode and repeat them. I never leave reviews but I just had to! You’re incredible ❤️❤️

Lindsay creates a container for exponential growth

I am an OG coach lab member so I have had a ton of exposure to Lindsay and her coaching. Her ability to create a safe space and give gentle and firm guidance to coaches is amazing. She is approachable and open. The Coach Lab is full of high level coaching guidance. If you haven’t spent time listening to this podcast and you are a coach, do it. She gives so much value in the podcast. But it gets even better in the lab.

So helpful!

Being a self-employed coach can be a bit isolating and Lindsay feels like she is right there with me. I so appreciate all that she offers and i feel that she truly wants coaches to be their best.

Thank you for the Haters episode

Really appreciated hearing your heartfelt and thoughtful episode on haters. This is the one area of my life that has me frozen, stuck and not putting myself out there as a coach. I love the questions and the calm logical way you gave to work through this. Now it seems less scary and doable. Thanks again for showing up so vulnerable and real! 😇😊😎😍

Very informative and captivating. I can listen for hours

I haven’t found a podcast where I can listen to each episode entirely so this one is absolutely great ! I started from the very first one and I’m on episode 11 now . I am learning so much from these. Thank you so much for captivating my attention within 5 minutes !

Super Podcast

I’m new to the podcast and to life coaching. I feel like, just in the few episodes I listened to, has already given me the confidence to do life coaching. I have shared the podcast with my ne coaches cohort. I with i can join the Lab or Masters course but I live in Singapore.

An amazing and insightful podcast

Lindsay did an excellent job of opening my mind up to the importance of not only creating a plan for my business but of those small steps in my plan as well. Breaking down a bigger step into the smaller ones, even so much as looking up a YouTube video on how I create an advertisement for myself, really gives a road map to my plan. It was also helpful to hear her talk about seeing other people in a different light and how I can attempt to do that for myself. As coaches and business leaders we need to realize all of those small steps in creating our business, from research to hiring team members, in order to implement our plan as we go.

Just what I needed!

In search of some help that I can comprehend, I started at the beginning of these podcasts. Almost word for word I received clear and concise guidance to help me move forward with my business and coaching style. Thank you!!

A helpful podcast for coaches

Love this podcast. Lindsay offers simple, practical tips that would enhance any coaching practice. I so appreciate her calm approach to her craft. This one’s in my podcast rotation, for sure.
Linda Camacho

So many great lessons!

I’ve been listening to Lindsay’s podcast for a couple of months now and have learned something every time I tune in. I really do feel like I’ve grown as a coach with these insightful teachings, so thank you!
Jonjdubwingert

First episode and I’m already stoked

“Be your best client,” “use your tools on yourself.” Love it. Love it. Love it. I’m in ADHD coaching school right now, and am learning so many tools and going through a personal transformation class right now, so this episode was confirming and so timely. So excited to listen to all of it. I hear all these coaches all them time asking these amazing, penetrating questions, and while I have begun giving some coaching to get used to it, I feel that I could use some real, practical advice on how to be really effective. So excited for this. Thanks for providing something I need so much.

So far the best coaching podcast out there

The options for podcasts branded as “coaching" are broad. TBH, I haven’t heard every one of them. But I have heard many of them, but Mastering Coaching Skills is the one I keep coming back to. As I work on my ACC, this has added valuable context to my own practice.

5 stars

Love this podcast. I am a new coach and still considering who my ideal client is. Her content is inspiring me to appreciate the baby steps involved in starting a new career vs this is too hard. Feeling hopeful and encouraged 😍

Good stuff

As a new coach, I’m finding your podcast to be very insightful.
mumawa

Solid Gold!

Can’t wait to join you live, Lindsay. So much of the time I don’t feel like I belong in the coaches room but your energy always makes me feel like I have a seat at the table. I know it’s just a thought and I belong everywhere but to feel naturally welcome is a great feeling. Not to mention the content is invaluable. Thank you!!
Daylynn Brand

Missing link to my belief

I’ve known you for a while and am just now diving into your work. It’s the missing link I’ve been searching for while trying to build my belief in myself as a great coach. Your tangible teaching is so helpful, applicable, and thought provoking. Your voice is nourishing and calm, and I appreciate your work.

Great coaching podcast!!

I am a brand new coach and this podcast has been immensely helpful for me in my growth as a life coach. Lindsay’s advice and insight is clear, actionable, and direct. My only criticism is that she speaks with an affect where her voice rises at the end of almost every sentence making it sound like everything she’s saying is in the form of a question. I only notice this because I used to do this too and was told that it gave the impression that I wasn’t confident in what I was saying. It’s clear to me that Lindsay knows what she’s talking about. I just fear that her message isn’t getting out as far and wide because of this so I chose to offer this constructive criticism.
Haunani1144

Love it

I’ve been listening to this podcast since Lindsey first started with episode 1 and it’s been so so helpful in growing my mindset as a coach. I’m a little over a year into starting my coaching practice and listening to this podcast has been exactly what I’ve needed. I highly recommend this podcast to coaches looking to master their skills and expand their thoughts, knowledge and experience and create a thriving business. Thank you so much Lindsey!

Think about your client’s problems instead of your own

In one of Lindsey’s first few episodes, she mentioned thinking about your clients. Spend time thinking about what they’re thinking; about what life is like for them. I LOVE this idea! Right now I’m cleaning the house and thinking about one recurring issue for one of my clients. This is such a fun way to use my brain! ✨ Way more interesting than thinking about my own problems. 😄
Thankfulheart8

Love it!

I love Lindsey’s down to earth way. Just listening to her podcast has given me so much focus. I can’t wait to be able to join her mastermind!

Great, actionable podcast!

Lindsay does an amazing job of providing very clear, actionable advice in this podcast. She is succinct and direct. The podcasts are short, but it’s because she does such a great job of getting to the point and telling you exactly what you need to do. Have a notebook ready, you will want to take notes!
ekhchicago

Demystifying coaching

Absolutely love this simple (but valuable!) and straightforward podcast with Lindsay Dotzslaf. Lindsay is a great coach, and she really opens up her brain and shares all her best thinking and coaching in this podcast. She shares much of her great content and makes it so accessible. Such a supportive message for all coaches, no matter if you’re certified or a grassroots coach, and applicable to all niches. I love that Lindsay offers many practices that will make you a better coach and will help you both attract clients and help you with the clients you already have. So inspiring!
lauraholistichealth

Such good insight and she makes it so doable

First of all, I love listening to Lindsay’s voice it’s so calming and, second, everything she talks about is so doable and something I can implement right away and then get to see the impact. Thanks for sharing all of this with us!
Major complaint!!

Can listen each episode to over and over

Each episode is full of fantastic tips. I have listened to a few of them 2-3 times and each time I walk away with a different tactic or approach to try out. Lindsay presents practical and useful tips that have helped me coach my clients with more direction. Thank you!
Noel Lawlor

Fabulous content...

...presented in a clear and concise manner...really good stuff...well done.
R Magnani

Clear, Concise, and Simple

I love the goal of simplicity when it comes to applying coaching tools. Life is hard enough; and the problems are complex enough! When the tools are made simple, the results are made obvious! Thanks you Lindsay for taking the time and effort to discover the beauty of simplicity. I love this podcast!
AStory1

The best coaching podcast

Thank you for bringing us back to what’s really important about being a life coach! Serving our clients and being the best coaches we can be. You reminded me why I became a coach in the first place!
SarahMichelleNP

Finally!

I think in the world of coaching there is a certain degree of confidence that is necessary. However, sometimes with all that confidence, there feels like there is a lack of humility and authenticity. I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am to have finally found a podcast that has both! Lindsay is a great speaker and so personable - so it makes the podcast super easy to listen to (and to keep listening too!) I’m so excited for future episodes!
Lachie Clifford

Informative and Interesting Podcast

As a new coach, I am really enjoying your podcast. The topics are very relevant, you present the discussion in a very logical way, and your voice and tone are calm and pleasant to which to listen. Looking forward to more episodes!

The Coaches Coach

I stumbled on your podcast after starting several podcasts this year and they go silent all of a sudden. I am really big on tone and yours is soothing but energetic so I’m always attentively listening and note taking! I am a newly Certified Life Coach learning that what I’ve been doing for the last decade is in line with everything I’ve learned. And the additional tips you offer to improve what I’m offering my clients are true gems. Thank you!!! I’m still catching up and already looking forward to your new episode.

Soul soothing

Lindsays craft - bringing coaches and minds back to the ground! Back to a place where it’s simple, clear, easy, and powerful! Love love love this podcast and that I can put your voice in my ears to soothe my soul and bring me back to the basics!
Becky Stickley

Grab a pen

This has quickly become my new favorite podcast. The only downside? Don’t think you can casually listen. You need a pen and paper to take down all the little golden nuggets Lindsay packs into her episodes. Thank you, Lindsay for putting this goodness into the world!
imbusybeingawesome
