Bill Carmody’s “definitive guide” to courage in coaching is expressed through his Tao Cha Ching: Courage – Week 1 framework. Here is the core of that approach:
- Courage ≠ no fear: It is “feeling the fear and doing it anyway” in service of your clients, your business, and your freedom.
- Courage includes saying no: “No forever,” “no for now,” or “no as currently proposed” to protect your energy and alignment.
- 10% beyond your comfort zone: Identify the current edge of your comfort zone in your coaching business and intentionally go about 10% past it—nothing unsafe, just genuine discomfort.
- Playful experimentation: Treat courage like being on an elementary-school playground again—try things, experiment, and let your body learn that you are safe so your comfort zone expands.
If you want, a concise 1‑page summary of this courage framework for coaches can be created for you to print or keep on your desk.
