Description

Description:  As a life coach, you’ve probably guided clients through powerful mindset shifts and strategic action plans—but what happens when neither leads to meaningful change?

In this episode, I introduce you to the PIE framework (Person-In-Environment)—a game-changing coaching lens rooted in psychology and social science. You’ll learn how to help clients identify and navigate external barriers that may be impacting their progress, from cultural influences and workplace dynamics to geographic and systemic limitations.

We’ll explore:

  • Why mindset and behavior change sometimes fall short

  • How to assess both internal and external factors in a client’s life

  • How this framework fosters empowerment without enabling stagnation

Whether you're a new coach or an experienced practitioner, this episode will deepen your understanding of client transformation and help you deliver more sustainable, context-sensitive results.

Tune in to learn how to coach with more depth, precision, and impact.
