In this episode, host Elias Scultori sits down with leadership coach Joe Miller, ACC, to unpack a challenge many coaches regularly face — what to do when a client shows up in self-doubt. Joe describes noticing two distinct "modes" in his clients: ✨ Mode One — confident, prepared, full of faith. 🌧️ Mode Two — insecure, resistant, and uncertain. As the conversation unfolds, they realize that these "modes" may reveal just as much about the coach's own mindset as they do about the client's. Together, Elias and Joe explore how to stay genuinely curious, let go of personal definitions of success, and keep believing in the client's wholeness — no matter what "mode" they're in. This is a vulnerable, reflective conversation about the inner work of coaching — and the growth that happens when we're willing to look inward. ⏱️ Chapters 00:27 – The Coaching Challenge: Two Client Modes 02:58 – When Confidence Fades: Working with "Mode Two" Clients 05:38 – When Coaching Feels Stuck: Referral or Recommitment? 09:17 – Turning the Lens Inward: The Coach's Growth Opportunity 13:06 – Simplicity, Curiosity, and the Power of Reflection 13:30 – Final Takeaway: Staying Curious with Every Client 💬 Notable Quotes "...how real are these modes and do they really or as much at least reflect my own growth and learning opportunities and shifting opportunities, thinking opportunities as a coach." [09:17] "...sometimes you have to start with something simple. Maybe spotting the simplicity of a couple of modes and then letting that drive the curiosity."

In this episode of PRIME SPACE, Elias Scultori, MCC [https://www.linkedin.com/in/eliasscultori/], shines a light on an often underestimated ICF Core Competencies: Cultivating Trust and Safety. While many coaches focus on powerful questions, agreements, and action planning, the foundation of effective coaching rests on something more fundamental—trust.

He also introduces the powerful distinction between safe space and brave space, inviting coaches to reimagine trust-building as a shared responsibility between coach and client. If you've ever wondered how to deepen your coaching relationships, this episode will remind you why trust isn't just another competency—it's the very ground on which coaching stands. #Coaching #ICFCompetencies #ProfessionalCoaching #TrustAndSafety #Leadership #PRIMESPACE

In this episode of PRIME SPACE, Elias Scultori, MCC [https://www.linkedin.com/in/eliasscultori/], explores one of the most common and delicate questions coaches face: "How personal can I be with my clients?" Drawing from ICF Core Competency 4: Cultivates Trust and Safety—specifically sub-competency 4.6—Elias reflects on the role of transparency, vulnerability, and authenticity in coaching. He unpacks what it means to share appropriately, how to balance openness with professional boundaries, and why the guiding question should always be: What is the benefit for the client's process? Through this lens, Elias challenges the long-held image of the "flawless leader" and emphasizes the courage it takes for a coach to show up authentically. When coaches embrace vulnerability—not as oversharing, but as a way of being—they empower clients to drop the masks of perfection, embrace their own humanity, and tap into their resourcefulness. Whether you are a new coach navigating boundaries or an experienced practitioner deepening your presence, this episode offers a thoughtful exploration of what it truly means to be transparent, vulnerable, and authentic in service of your clients. #Coaching #ICFCoreCompetencies #TrustAndSafety #Authenticity #Leadership #ProfessionalCoaching #PRIMESPACE
