Summer Encore Series  This episode was originally released in 2024 and remains one of the most important conversations for new and growing coaches. If you've ever struggled with self-doubt, imposter syndrome, or wondering whether you're "good enough," this episode offers a practical path toward genuine coaching confidence.

How do coaches build confidence?

Many coaches assume confidence comes first. In reality, confidence is built through training, practice, structure, experience, and a willingness to keep showing up even when you feel uncomfortable.

In this episode, Kat explores what truly creates confidence as a coach. She shares lessons from more than two decades of coaching, coaching education, and mentor coaching, while offering practical insights on skill development, managing self-doubt, creating professional structure, improving consultations, and building trust in your own abilities. Whether you're newly certified or years into your coaching journey, this conversation will help you strengthen your confidence and serve your clients more effectively.

Key Takeaways
