When you want to come away from a conversation with specific outcomes, it’s up to you to create the conditions for getting what you need. 🌱

In this solo episode, I’m unpacking the concept of a coaching container - an intentional framework of agreements and questions to generate a space for connection and clarity. 💬 Collaboration (and isn’t that what a conversation is?) flows much better when everyone feels seen and heard.

Container-building isn’t just for coaching! It’s for any conversation that matters to you. Whether you’re preparing for a meeting, a one-on-one, or a personal conversation that requires courage and care, this episode offers a practical, immediately applicable framework for setting yourself up for success. 🌿✨

👉 The simple practice of building your container is outlined here.

🌿 Learn how I support clergy and nonprofit leaders in leading with clarity, courage, and heart.
