The first 100 hours of experience as a new coach are more than just a milestone—they’re a foundation for your entire coaching journey. 💡 Here’s how to set yourself up for long-term success: 🛠️ Real Clients – Not other coaches: It may be tempting to spend your first 100 hours peer coaching with others in the field who are also just getting started. However, coaching real clients is very different than working with coaches who “know the routine” of coaching. So, do yourself a favor – work with real clients! 🛠️ Practice with intention: Every session is an opportunity to refine your skills and deepen your impact. Record them when you can and read the transcript while you listen to the session. Find places you can improve. 🛠️ Seek mentorship and supervision: A great coach knows the value of learning from others. Surround yourself with experienced voices. Join group supervision sessions and let your peers help you find ways to be more effective. 🛠️ Focus on connection: Coaching is a relationship that requires trust, vulnerability, and respect. Learn to build connections with your clients as quickly as possible. Remember, success as a coach isn’t defined by how much you know—it’s measured by how much you care and the trust you build with your clients. Your journey is just beginning, and the impact you can make is boundless. What’s one lesson you learned in your first 100 hours?
