Coaching Done Right Part 2
In Part Two, Jamie and Matt unpack common myths about coaching—starting with the false belief that coaches must outperform their players. They explore why discomfort is part of growth, how coaching builds trust through vulnerability, when to coach vs. teach vs. direct, and how to give feedback that lands on the problem, not the person. Practical, humble, and immediately useful for new and seasoned leaders in healthcare and beyond.

Key Takeaways
- Coaching ≠ outperforming. Performance expertise and coaching expertise are different muscles.
- Discomfort is data. If growth feels easy, you’re probably not growing.
- Trust follows vulnerability. Coaching conversations require safety, time, and honesty.
- Aim feedback at the work. Focus on the task/approach, not the person.
- Decide your mode. Coach, teach, or direct based on the question, urgency, and learning goal.
- Beat imposter syndrome with action. If the finish line is fuzzy, take the next step and practice.
