Many coaches resist the word leader. But what if the problem isn’t leadership itself — it’s the narrow model of what leadership looks like?

In this episode, I make the case that all coaching is leadership work. I explore a simple but powerful idea: you’re not “just a coach” — you’re a leader. Through every coaching conversation, you help people question assumptions, reclaim their agency, and step into a bigger relationship with their own lives. That’s a profound form of leadership — even if it’s quiet.

We’ll explore a non-hierarchical model of leadership (that I learned from a horse!) and why self-employed coaches are in a particularly powerful leadership practice. I’ll also share a few ways you can experiment with embracing your leadership in grounded, practical ways.
