    Coaching Has an AI Problem In 2026 w/ Anita Tomecki & Erik Forrester (Ep. 89)

    Coaching in 2026 is shifting away from external achievements like status or money toward a deeper desire for internal peace and silence of mind. Anita Tomecki and Erik Forrester argue that despite global turmoil, the true challenge remains the internal meanings and self-talk individuals create. Anita focuses on mapping the specific cognitive processes that generate anxiety or physical symptoms, treating them as choices rather than accidents. Erik the "momentum coach" helps individuals paralyzed by life transitions utilize their existing strengths to get moving again. Success lies in looking at the internal reflection rather than the external window. 👉 Video Podcast on YouTube: ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@creategrowprofit/podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⭐ FREE guide 'How To Get Coaching Clients': ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://creategrowprofit.com/first-client-pdf/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 💼 Connect with Anita Tomecki: LinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/anita-tomecki-97b53493Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anitatomecki/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/anita.tomecki💼 Connect with Erik Forrester: Website: https://www.erikforrester.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/erik.forrester.562📱 My Social Media Links: Our Content Creator Community on Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/creategrowprofit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ My Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/creategrowprofit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/themorrisgrand⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/creategrowprofit/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Host: Morris Grand

    87: How to Be a Coach, When Everyone Asks ChatGPT for Help w/ Dr. Denise Trudea Poskas

    How can coaches stand out in a world where AI is becoming more prevalent. In this interview, Dr. Denise Trudeau Poskas notes that corporations are considering replacing human coaches with AI platforms, which are a cheaper alternative. Dr. Dee believes human coaches can differentiate themselves by focusing on behavioral and emotional change, which AI cannot replicate. Her coaching practice uses a neuroscience-based approach to help clients understand and overcome "stuck cycles", which she's been doing for decades with great success. 👉 Video Podcast on YouTube: ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@creategrowprofit/podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⭐ FREE guide 'How To Get Coaching Clients': ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://creategrowprofit.com/first-client-pdf/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 💼 Connect with ChewHoong Koh: Website: https://www.blueeggleadership.comFree Resources: https://www.blueeggleadership.com/resources📱 My Social Media Links: Our Content Creator Community on Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/creategrowprofit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ My Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/creategrowprofit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/themorrisgrand⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/creategrowprofit/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Host: Morris Grand

    86: Overthinking Your Coaching Business? Listen to THIS! w/ ChewHoong Koh

    How to stop procrastinating your coaching business. Ever heard this before: Business success is 20% strategy and 80% internal work. But ChewHoong Koh highlights that merely thinking positive thoughts or saying affirmations isn't enough; true alignment requires feeling congruent with those thoughts. Procrastination, perfectionism, impostor syndrome, and overthinking often stem from unaddressed internal issues, which she refers to as "small traumas" that accumulate. 👉 Video Podcast on YouTube: ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@creategrowprofit/podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⭐ FREE guide 'How To Get Coaching Clients': ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://creategrowprofit.com/first-client-pdf/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 💼 Connect with ChewHoong Koh: Achieve Your Goals Fast Visualization: https://thrive-with-success.kit.com/fb9f91c8fdChewHoong on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chewhoong.koh📱 My Social Media Links: Our Content Creator Community on Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/creategrowprofit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ My Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/creategrowprofit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/themorrisgrand⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/creategrowprofit/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Host: Morris Grand

    84: Why intuition can be so wrong... w/ Morteza Chalak

    Intuition can often be misleading because it's heavily influenced by past negative experiences stored in our subconscious. These experiences can normalize toxic dynamics and make healthy situations feel "wrong." To overcome this, it's crucial to engage in "structured study" and self-development, uncovering and changing underlying negative beliefs. This involves deep self-reflection, understanding childhood influences, and actively challenging comfort zones. For example, starting something new, like creating videos, might feel uncomfortable, but pushing through can lead to growth and success. The key is to prioritize logical, right actions over initial feelings, especially when experimenting. While intuition has its place in long-term decisions after self-work, the initial steps often require overriding gut feelings. Becoming a person who attracts opportunities means cultivating inner confidence, changing negative self-narratives, and viewing failures as lessons. This self-reliant approach, achieved through practices like cognitive behavioral therapy and self-love exercises, fundamentally shifts how one interacts with the world and perceives opportunities. 👉 Video Podcast on YouTube: ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@creategrowprofit/podcasts⁠⁠⁠ ⭐ FREE guide 'How To Get Coaching Clients': ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://creategrowprofit.com/first-client-pdf/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 💼 Connect with Morteza Chalak: Morteza's Website: https://MortezaChalak.comMorteza on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drmortezachalak📱 My Social Media Links: Our Content Creator Community on Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/creategrowprofit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ My Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/creategrowprofit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/themorrisgrand⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/creategrowprofit/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Host: Morris Grand

    83: Why "Money Mindset" is a Trap w/ Angela Johnson

    No matter how many times you tell yourself "I am enough", is your business still stagnating? Clients not coming into your life? In this interview, Amanda Johnson reveals why mindset alone is insufficient for business success; a deeper understanding of the nervous system is crucial. Often, what appears as "mindset issues" or "self-sabotage" in business is actually the nervous system's attempt at self-protection, stemming from deeply ingrained conditioning. To work through that, we question rigid business formulas and fostering curiosity and compassion towards these protective responses. 👉 Video Podcast on YouTube: ⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@creategrowprofit/podcasts⁠⁠ ⭐ FREE guide 'How To Get Coaching Clients': ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://creategrowprofit.com/first-client-pdf/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 💼 Connect with Angela Johnson: Angela's Website: https://angelamjohnson.comAngela on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/angelajohnsonbizAngela on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Angellamjohnson📱 My Social Media Links: Our Content Creator Community on Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/creategrowprofit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ My Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/creategrowprofit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/themorrisgrand⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/creategrowprofit/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Host: Morris Grand

    82: How to Work With Purpose Again w/ Deborah Ivanoff

    Deborah Ivanov, a coach for business professionals and self-employed individuals, is truly helping people discover their "why" – that deeper, true reason behind what they desire and what they do. Surface-level goals, like income or a new position, often actually hide much deeper motivations, such as truly wanting to feel good about your life, wanting to make a contribution, or perhaps even wanting to be an example for your children. Resistance, and what might look like "self-sabotage," are completely natural parts of the process. They actually offer valuable information, rather than indicating failure. Deborah's own journey, through a very difficult divorce and fighting for her kids, really exemplifies the power of this approach, showing how her clearly understood "why" transformed what seemed like limitations into incredible possibilities. 👉 Video Podcast on YouTube: ⁠ ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@creategrowprofit/podcasts⁠ ⭐ FREE guide 'How To Get Coaching Clients': ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://creategrowprofit.com/first-client-pdf/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 💼 Connect with Deborah Ivanoff: Deborah's Website: https://deborahivanoff.com/Deborah on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DeborahIvanoffTheBEINGCoach📱 My Social Media Links: Our Content Creator Community on Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/creategrowprofit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ My Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/creategrowprofit⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/themorrisgrand⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/creategrowprofit/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Host: Morris Grand
