In Episode 11 of The Coaching Fix, we explore one of the most common yet misunderstood challenges high-achievers face: getting out of your own way.
Rob Spooner breaks down what this really means—how self-doubt, overthinking, perfectionism, and fear quietly block our progress—and how to shift into a mindset that invites clarity, confidence, and action. This episode offers both insight and practical strategies to help you stop tripping over your own thoughts and start moving toward the life and work you actually want.
The Coaching Fix – Episode 10: “Who Deserves Your Energy?”
Summary:
Most of us carry a list—people who hurt us, doubted us, or overlooked us. And for many, that pain becomes fuel. We hustle to prove them wrong, to get even. But what if that’s the wrong scoreboard?
In this episode, Rob Spooner flips the script:
“Don’t get even with the people who hurt you. Get even with the people who helped you.”
Rob explores the hidden cost of revenge-driven success and makes the case for a more powerful, more sustainable driver: gratitude. Whether you're a rising professional, a business leader, or simply someone healing and rebuilding, this mindset shift will change how you lead, how you grow, and how you show up.

Description:
Feeling invisible in the job search? You're not alone—but you're not powerless either.

Episode 5: “Once You Understand the Way Broadly, You Can See It in All Things”
Theme: Clarity Creates Confidence
In this episode, I unpack the power behind one of my favorite quotes from legendary samurai and strategist Miyamoto Musashi:
“Once you understand the way broadly, you can see it in all things.”
If you’re feeling stuck, burned out, or unsure why your efforts aren’t delivering satisfaction, you may be missing the bigger picture. This episode is about moving beyond task mastery and toward system awareness—so you can recognize patterns, reduce friction, and take aligned action in your career and life.
I break down how to:
Zoom out and build a “Career and Life Blueprint”
Track what energizes or drains you
Define your non-negotiables
Turn insight into practical, weekly momentum
Because once you truly see the way—professionally, personally, strategically—you stop reacting to life and start directing it.
Let’s help you stop guessing and start seeing.
If you’re in college, headed there, or questioning whether it’s even worth it—this episode is for you. Rob Spooner shares the mindset shift that can turn a disconnected, frustrating college experience into a launchpad for your life and career.

He breaks down how to turn every class into a tool, keep your goals front and center, and build momentum while you're still in school.

Today’s Coaching Fix Episode:
“Graduation, Clarity, and the Deal You Can’t Afford to Miss”
In this episode, we’re talking directly to high school graduates — and the parents, mentors, and supporters walking beside them. If you’re feeling unsure about what comes next, you’re not alone.
We explore why education is always valuable, but not always traditional — and how real growth often comes from experiences, reflection, and conversations that bring clarity. Coaching isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about asking better questions to help young adults step into their next chapter with confidence and purpose.
You'll also hear a simple at-home takeaway exercise designed to help uncover patterns, passions, and values — a first step toward shaping a path that feels truly aligned.
Whether you’re the one figuring it out or someone who’s trying to help, this episode is about creating space, gaining direction, and realizing that investing in yourself is never the wrong move.

You’ll learn:
Why waiting for a perfect plan is holding you back
The hidden cost of not investing in yourself
