    Differentiating Yourself as a Career Coach (in the sea of coaches)

    We are at a time when anybody can call themselves a coach. The hard thing is getting yourself to stand out from the rest so people can understand how you’re different and how you can help them. So today, I’m excited to start season 5 of this podcast by bringing on Scott Anthony Barlow, the founder of Happen To Your Career. We talk about how you can differentiate yourself as a coach and how running a coaching business is more than just having 1-on-1 conversations with clients.   To binge-listen to all the Career Coach episodes: https://www.happentoyourcareer.com/how-to-become-a-career-coach-podcast/ Or check our our Professional Career Coach Training program Check out the Ultimate Guide to Becoming a Career Coach!

    Why Surrounding Yourself With The Right People Matters

    Part of taking your coaching business to the next level is honing your skills, setting up systems, and knowing your target client. Another, and equally important, aspect is surrounding yourself with the right people. If you’re the smartest person in the room, you won’t be on a growth track - you need to surround yourself with those that you aspire to be like. Brad Finkeldei joins Phillip to talk about how he leveraged relationships to grow himself and his coaching business.   To binge-listen to all the Career Coach episodes: https://www.happentoyourcareer.com/how-to-become-a-career-coach-podcast/ Or check our our Professional Career Coach Training program Check out the Ultimate Guide to Becoming a Career Coach!
