Coaching isn't one move. Sometimes it's direct. Sometimes it's spacious. Sometimes it's playful, or sweet, or asks you to be vulnerable first.

The Kind Lab is built around five pathways: honesty, clarity, vulnerability, sweetness, and playfulness, and learning when each one serves your client.

🧪 Five virtual workshops for coaches
🗓️ Starting this month (first session: September 9)

We'd love to practice together. 💟

Hey coaches 👋 what's the nicest lie you've ever told a coachee?

Honesty sounds simple until you're the one holding a hard truth and a relationship you don't want to damage. That tension is exactly why it's the first pathway we're starting with at Kind Lab for Coaches this September.

Come build the courage and the timing for it, together with other coaches.

The Kind Lab for Coaches is back this September.

Nina Simonds and I are getting into what kindness actually means for coaching, and why people mix it up with niceness so often.

Join us to build coaching skills that support your coachees the way they actually need.

See you next month. Details here: https://jeffjacobsoncoaching.notion.site/thekindlab

Ever wonder how the Coaches' BBQ began? It started as a protest, and grew into something a lot warmer (and this year...a little spooky 👻 ). Watch for the full story, then come join us.

Registration is open now: coachesbbq.my.canva.site

Hey friends 👋 Starting next month, Nina Simonds and I are running The Kind Lab for Coaches again.

Five sessions, one for each of the Kindness Pathways: Honesty, Clarity, Vulnerability, Sweetness, and Playfulness. It's a chance to come together and work with the Kind model, so you walk away more grounded, clearer on your boundaries, and better able to help your coachees find real movement and change. Feels especially needed right now.

It's fun, it's engaging, and it's real work on real skills.

Every Saturday we're up at the intersection with our signs: No Kings! Voter registration! Immigration rights!

For a long time I wondered if it was making any difference. My friend Shannon helped me see it, and I wrote about how in this week's newsletter.

Tell me a story of your own: something you did expecting one kind of benefit, and instead you got a completely different one.

The World Cup was so fun to watch, but the best part wasn't the games. It was all the international exchange that happened between the nations. So many people arriving, discovering, connecting. 🌎️ 💙

There’s something about people from different places getting to know each other, without any agenda, just genuine curiosity, that’s done my heart a lot of good lately.

Did you watch? What’s something you enjoyed that reached beyond the game? ⚽️

Good friends, good stories. Here's a fun one about when you should trust the little voices over what the masses are telling you.

She was right, by the way. The bravest, most honest person in the building that day was six years old.
