In this episode of Mindset Matters, hosts Patrick and Steffany unpack a provocative question: Is coaching a scam? With more than 30 years of experience in coaching, mentoring, and performance psychology, they shed light on why coaching often fails to deliver lasting results—and what actually makes the difference.
Many people sign up for coaching programs, feel an initial burst of motivation, and then quickly lose momentum. Patrick and Steffany explore why that happens. The problem is not always the strategy or the “how to.” The real challenge lies much deeper—in our identity, values, and hidden beliefs. Using a fruit tree metaphor, they explain that actions are the fruit, but the true source of growth lies in the roots. Unless the roots—our mindset, clarity, and self-beliefs—are addressed, no amount of technical coaching will create sustainable change.
They introduce their unique approach called the MindShui Way, which blends coaching with deep inner work to help people uncover limiting beliefs, realign values, and clear the mental clutter that blocks success. It is about becoming the person capable of achieving the goals, not just learning the steps to reach them.
Steffany shares insights from her work with elite athletes, while Patrick draws on decades of experience with entrepreneurs and leaders. Together, they highlight why mentorship and identity-level growth are essential. Coaching is not a scam—it is often incomplete when it stops at the surface. True transformation comes when we look inward, face what is holding us back, and cultivate resilience from the roots up.
Whether you are an athlete, entrepreneur, or someone seeking personal growth, this episode will challenge your perspective on coaching and inspire you to dig deeper into your own roots for lasting success.
