    Scaling Your Expertise with Elaine Powell: Speaking & Coaching

    In this episode of Career Coaching Secrets, host Pedro sits down with Elaine Powell, also known as The Thought Disruptor—a keynote speaker and coach who helps experts turn their voice into impact and income. Elaine shares her unconventional journey from working with young offenders, traveling to 18 countries, and joining Toastmasters, to becoming a $10K–$15K paid speaker in the US. She breaks down the real difference between what she speaks on and what she coaches on, and why speaking is one of the most powerful one-to-many growth strategies for coaches, leaders, and experts. You’ll hear honest lessons about burnout, shiny-object syndrome, building credibility, transitioning from free talks to paid stages, and why speaking works best when your foundation is already solid. Elaine also opens up about sales, enrollment conversations, mindset, investing in yourself, and why action always beats overthinking—especially for women.

    From Culture to Results: Brad Federman on Real Coaching That Drives Growth

    In this episode of Career Coaching Secrets, host Pedro sits down with Brad Federman, founder of Performance Point and a seasoned culture architect, to unpack what leadership, coaching, and business growth really look like in a rapidly changing world. Brad shares powerful insights on why “knowing everything” is overrated, how transparency and self-awareness build trust, and why great coaching isn’t about giving answers—but helping people think for themselves. From a formative lesson taught by his father, to hard-earned business setbacks that forced him to bet on himself, Brad walks through the moments that shaped his philosophy as a coach and entrepreneur. The conversation dives deep into building coaching cultures, handling difficult leadership dynamics, scaling a coaching business without sacrificing integrity, and using technology and AI to enhance human connection—not replace it. Brad also explains how Performance Point creates measurable results through long-term coaching engagements, proprietary frameworks, and a strong emphasis on trust, accountability, and real transformation. If you’re a coach, leader, or business owner navigating growth, culture, and change, this episode offers practical wisdom and a refreshing perspective on what sustainable success actually looks like.

    In this episode of Career Coaching Secrets, host Kevin sits down with Gary Mitchell, founder of On-Track Coaching and a veteran coach with over 20 years of experience helping law firm owners grow revenue and reclaim their freedom.

From his unexpected journey from politics into coaching, to building a lean, freedom-focused practice, Gary shares hard-earned lessons on pricing, mindset, delegation, guarantees, and why living life in six-minute increments is no way to build impact. If you’re a coach selling time instead of transformation, this episode will challenge how you think about value forever.
