Being highly skilled but still full of self doubt with Mark Bixter

Share this podcast:

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt like a walking contradiction — confident yet doubtful, creative yet overthinking, fun but financially anxious. You’re not alone.

Our guest is a coach with a wildly diverse portfolio, working with organisations like Frontline, Sanctus, and Spark Inside. From social workers to people in prison, they’ve worked with a range of humans, always leading with empathy, adaptability and curiosity.

We explore how coaching isn’t always about having shared lived experience — but about being present, asking the right questions, and creating space for clients to reflect. Whether you’re a coach, a creative, or just someone figuring it out, this episode reminds us it’s okay to be messy, multifaceted, and still be making an impact.

There’s also some honest chat about what makes a good coach. Hint: it’s not fixing people. It’s listening, asking the right questions, and knowing when to shut up.

We have a question for our listeners as a result of this episode: what have learnt about yourself through your coaching? We already know our answer… what’s yours?
