In a departure from our live, unscripted coaching format we are continuing our "Conversations with Coaches" series exploring how life changes when one goes through coach training and begins are career as a professional coach. You might be thinking, is this such a big shift - becoming a coach? Well, most coaches we know have indicated significant life shifts and we decided to talk to coaches about the relational shifts.

In this episode we chat with Howard Stanten of Vanguard Coaching. Howard is married to Erin McGuire, also of Vanguard Coaching. This is an insightful conversation outlining the shifts in the relationship between a married couple as they somewhat simultaneously move through coach training and start a business coaching other couples.

You'll hear questions & nuggets such as:

  • What's it like as a coach to be married to another coach?
  • "How do you BE curious vs. DO curious?"
  • "How do we use these new tools to help each other in ways we know we want to be helped?"
  • "We were learning new ways to be...and there were a lot of blurry lines."
  • "Being committed to each other's growth is the stake of our relationship."
  • "...it would stir up defensiveness...we still needed permission to be 'coach-like' in the early days."
  • "We don't often have the conversation about the conversation and it's so important to relationships."
  • "With friends and family we can have agendas...and we can get triggered when they are not showing up aligned with those agendas."
  • "Let it go and bring curiosity...or a sense of wonder to the conversation."
