The Inner Compass

Lesson Four:
Next Best Steps

Welcome to Day Four — the part of the coaching conversation where clarity transforms into forward motion. In today’s lesson, Taryn Watts is joined by Mind Rebel Coach Mandy Brazeau to explore the final phase in the arc of a coaching conversation: Next Best Steps.

This is the moment when the coach and client, together, turn insight into action. With gentle clarity and intention, they co-create aligned next steps that support the client in moving from where they are to where they desire to be.

Instructions

Step 1:

Watch the first lesson where you’ll learn how to support someone in translating insight into action — helping them identify and commit to next steps that feel meaningful, aligned, and achievable. This phase of the coaching conversation is about guiding the client to claim ownership over their journey, so they can begin moving forward with clarity and intention.

Step 2:

Listen to a real coaching conversation where you will hear these core skills — like creating the sandbox, asking powerful questions, and co-creating next best steps — woven together in an actual session. It’s a powerful opportunity to experience the rhythm, nuance, and depth of authentic coaching in motion.
