    Why Thoughtful Coaches Win: How Introverted Coaches Sign Clients Without Networking Ep 437

    You're thoughtful. You're good with people. You'd rather have one real conversation than work a room full of strangers. For years, that's been treated like a marketing disadvantage. In this episode, I argue it's actually your biggest strength. You'll hear why "consistency" doesn't have to mean posting content every day, why you don't need your friends and family to build your business, and the real story of Kirsten, a dog behavioural coach who sent 250 invitations and booked 13 real conversations in four weeks, without a single sales pitch. This is Episode 6 in Build Your Business Like a Coach, a special series introducing The Consistent Client Method: a way to build a coaching business through curiosity and conversation instead of content and noise.

    The Future Belongs to Coaches Who Listen Better: What AI Means for Your Coaching Business Ep 436

    I'm not here to give you a list of AI tools, or tell you AI will replace coaches, or tell you to ignore it and hope it goes away. Instead, I ask a more useful question: what becomes more valuable when everyone has access to AI? You'll hear why creating more content stops being a competitive advantage the moment anyone can generate it in seconds, what happened when I asked 115 coaches across 10 countries real questions instead of asking AI to guess the answers, and the one distinction, "let AI process your thinking, don't outsource the source of it," that separates coaches who use AI well from coaches who don't. This is Episode 5 in Build Your Business Like a Coach, a special series introducing The Consistent Client Method.

    What 115 Coaches Taught Me About Getting Clients Ep 447

    I was recently invited to speak at a marketing event for coaches. While preparing my talk, I realized the message was one I wanted my podcast audience to hear too, so this episode shares that talk in full. The talk opens with a question many coaches quietly carry: they are trained, smart, and capable, so why is the calendar still so empty? I explain how I decided to stop guessing and find out what was actually going on by surveying 115 coaches across 10 countries. The findings were striking. 69% of respondents had fewer than five paying clients. 85% had ten or fewer. Nearly 90% wanted more clients and more income. These were not beginners. They were educated, credentialed, committed coaches. What I didn't expect was what happened to my own business while I ran the survey. The project itself generated conversations, relationships, and clients, adding more than 350 people to my email community and leading to 57 booked calls in just 46 days. I shares the story of my client Kirsten, a dog behaviour coach, who sent 250 invitations, received 76 responses, and booked 13 genuine conversations in four weeks, without a single sales pitch. The episode closes with my 7core reframe: coaches do not need to become louder or someone they are not. They need to get curious, ask, listen, learn, and let real conversations create the opportunities. Stop guessing. Start asking.

    You Already Have Permission. You Were Born With It. with Kristy Halvorsen Ep 435

    What if the unknown isn't something to manage, plan around, or survive? What if it's actually all that's ever happening, and the stress comes from pretending otherwise? I sit down with Kristy Halvorsen, former engineer, former firefighter, coach, bestselling author of Perfect Unfolding, and nine-year off-grid Airstream adventurer, to talk about what happens when you stop following the expected path and start following the tickles of your soul. Kristy shares how she went from engineering to firefighting to coaching to living alone in nature across North America with no plan and no destination. She talks about the health crisis and the knee injury that finally pushed her out of firefighting, the year in 2023 that blew the doors off everything she thought she knew about herself, and what she learned from nearly dying in the middle of nowhere in Newfoundland. She also shares the one thing she tells every new coach that sounds almost too simple and turns out to be everything. Warm, honest, and deeply human.

    What 15 Years of Coaching Businesses Taught Me About AI with Rebecca TraceyEp 433

    AI is everywhere in the coaching industry right now. But is it actually helping new coaches build better businesses? Or is it quietly making it harder? I sit down with Rebecca Tracey, founder of The Uncaged Life and the person who has helped over 2,000 coaches start their businesses, to have a real and honest conversation about what's actually happening. Rebecca shares what she's seeing from inside her programs, why AI-generated content is hurting more coaches than it's helping, why niches need to be more specific now than ever before, and the one skill that matters more than any marketing tool and that AI simply can't replace. She also talks about the brilliant way she built a custom GPT from hundreds of client coaching call recordings, what happened when she tested it, and why she was fully prepared to scrap it if it didn't meet her standards.

    Don't Assume People Know What Coaching Is: Do's and Don'ts for New Coaches, Part 3 | She Coaches Coaches,Ep 434

    The final episode in my three-part series on how to start a coaching business, wrapping up with one last do and one last don't. Today's don't: don't assume people know what coaching is or how it can help them. I break down why most people picture a sports coach or a stand-and-shout motivational style when they hear the word "coach," and I share 3 simple, jargon-free ways to explain what coaching actually does. Today's do: acceptance, self-acceptance, and gratitude are your business superpowers. I make the case that these aren't just nice personal qualities. They shape the vibe your potential clients feel from you, and that feeling is often what draws people in more than any pitch could. If you missed Part 1 (don't build a website yet) or Part 2 (don't rush to quit your job), check the show notes for those episodes too.

    "It's Not Worth It" Is Not the Real Thought - with Tammy Nicole Ep 432

    Every time you talk yourself out of something you really want, there's a belief hiding underneath it. Tammy Nicole helps women find it. I sit down with Tammy Nicole, an identity reclamation coach, speaker, and author with more than 20 years of experience in mental health. Through her signature ICU framework and the five Rs - reveal, recognize, release, reclaim, rise - Tammy helps women uncover the emotional patterns that shaped who they became, and confidently step into who they were created to be. In this conversation, Tammy shares one of the most precise things said on this show about self-sabotage: we chant-transition "I'm not worth it" into "it's not worth it" to validate the original belief. The thought that stops you sounds like logic. It isn't. It's worthiness wearing a disguise. You'll hear about the ICU framework, why the last R is always the hardest, how self-trust gets built one tiny kept promise at a time, and why Tammy's tagline - love yourself so much that love from others is a bonus - is the foundation she builds everything on. This coaching business mindset conversation is for any coach who is doing the inner work and still hitting the same wall.

    Don't Rush to Quit Your Job: Do's and Don'ts for New Coaches, Part 2 | She Coaches Coaches, Ep 431

    Part two of my series on how to start a coaching business, three do's and three don'ts for brand new coaches. Today's don't: don't rush to quit your job. I explain why trading day-job dissatisfaction for coaching-business stress too early can sabotage your success, and how to know the two real signs it's actually time to make the leap. Today's do: all coaches need to be coached. I share a number straight from my own practice, most people who come to me for a consult have never actually had a coach themselves, and why that makes it so much harder to attract paying clients. If you want people to invest in coaching with you, I make the case for investing in it yourself first. Free resource mentioned: The 90-Minute Coaching Business Blueprint: candymotzek.lpages.co/vfo/
