When It's Not about the Weight: A Master Coaching Demonstration
This was just an amazing coaching session. He touched her soul which opened her up and let her show vulnerability- Michele Loesch, Victory Wellness LLC

Real-world coaching demonstration by Confidence Master Coach Ben Dooley CPCC, MCC 

Uh-oh! The client is having a huge emotional reaction! The first question that often comes up is OMG should this be a therapy session?

In this masterful demonstration, we get to see first-hand how to walk the line between coaching and therapy while honoring the client and all of her emotions. Hear how Ben keeps this client (whom he’d never met and who had never been coached before) moving forward and helps her achieve her session goal. This client initially came to the call with the issue of wanting to lose weight and what arose in the session is nothing short of astonishing and heartbreaking.

This is a call every coach needs to hear. It is a brilliant, inspiring demonstration of so many coaching skills and competencies and the debriefing and bonus Q&A is entertaining and full of great learning.
