323-From Helper to Coach: Turning Natural Support Into Skilled Guidance

SHARPEN THE GIFT YOU ALREADY HAVE- Being the “helper” in your world is a beautiful gift—but it’s not the same as being a trained coach. In this episode, I’m sharing how I moved from well-meaning conversations that didn’t always create change to skilled guidance that consistently helped people move forward. We’ll look at Proverbs 4:7 and why wisdom plus understanding is the combination every coach needs.

Key Takeaways:

• Compassion is powerful, but coaching skills make it sustainable and effective.


• Training protects you from burnout and equips you to help in a deeper way.


• The PEARL Practice turns natural empathy into a structured path to change.

Listener Challenge: Reflect on the last time you felt drained after helping someone. Write down how that situation might have been different if you had a clear coaching process to follow.
