About this listen
In this episode of The Coaching Edge Podcast, MCC coach Merci Miglino traces her journey from political burnout to coaching mastery—and how teaching Level 1 & 2 coaches in China (via real-time translation!) sharpened her philosophy of radical simplicity. She argues that the leap from PCC to MCC is less about technique and more about confidence: the courage to ask direct questions, release attachment to outcomes, and work in the energizing space of not knowing.
Merci spotlights fear as the hidden driver beneath indecision and “stuckness,” reframing the coach’s role as a synthesizer who surfaces the misconception creating the client’s current reality. She champions direct communication (as distinct from evoking awareness), shares powerful frames—“So what?” and “What’s the misconception here?”—and describes intuition as unconscious competence that coaches must dare to voice. We also touch on legacy, lightness vs. significance in decisions, and how confidence and intuition intertwine.
