    You Don’t Need a Business Coach, You Need a Strategic Thought Partner

    The world is saturated with business coaches who each have their own rulebook and system. But what if all that information isn't actually what you need? True growth doesn’t come from another person telling you what to do or handing you a playbook. Instead, it comes from powerful questions, reframing perspectives, and unlocking the answers you already have inside of you. In this episode of She Thinks Big, you’ll be challenged to look beyond the conventional definition of a coach and consider the role of a strategic thought partner. Drawing inspiration from figures like Ted Lasso and Mr. Miyagi, I’ll teach you how a strategic thought partner helps you see the bigger picture, cut through the noise, and move forward with clarity and confidence. 2:22 – The distinction between a coach and a strategic thought partner 6:33 – Example of the power of perspective that a strategic thought partner can provide 7:55 – How coaching skills aren’t industry-specific 9:30 – More examples of the benefits of having strategic thought partners in your corner 11:29 – The role a strategic thought partner should play for you  13:54 – Your next steps to gain the clarity and perspective you need Mentioned In You Don’t Need a Business Coach, You Need a Strategic Thought Partner Silent Saboteur Audit She Thinks Big by Andrea Liebross Andrea’s Links Book a Call With Andrea Andrea on LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook Untangle your time, reset your role, and build systems that don't depend on your every move.

    The big, glossy postcard invites in the mail…the life-changing workshop email invitation, the networking event of the year… You’ve seen them all and probably often wondered, “Should I go?” While some might be more convenient to attend, others might be a cross-country plane ride away and require time, money, and other resources that make it harder to orchestrate.  And in the end, is the payoff worth it?

    Decision Diaries: How Laura Khesin Took $30K Leaps to Grow Her Business

    The biggest leaps in life and business often come from a willingness to get uncomfortable. Investing in the person you need to become to achieve your dreams is a big part of the process. Laura Khesin has known this firsthand for a while now. As the visionary behind her budding empire, Society Beauty Bar, her bold decisions and high tolerance for self-investment have stretched and challenged her, transforming big risks into even bigger returns. In this episode of She Thinks Big, Laura discusses her journey of turning strategic risks into remarkable success, from her early days as a real estate investor to building her thriving salon business.

    Why Successful Business Owners Still Struggle with Decisions After Years of Experience

    You survived the start-up phase, made money, and built a team. Now, several years later, you think you should have the ins and outs of running a business all figured out by now. Yet, even though everything looks great on the surface, it can feel exhausting, chaotic, even uninspiring on the inside…especially when you’re still wearing all the hats. That’s where Andrea Liddane found herself with her 20+ year tutoring business. As the founder and CEO of Liddane Tutoring and Learning Services, she’s served hundreds of students and hired over 30 tutors. But after all this time, she realized she was emotionally and physically tired and felt uninspired by her passion. So she took a bold step and sought a guide who wouldn’t just hand her a map but take the journey with her. In this episode of She Thinks Big, Andrea shares what it really looks like to be an experienced business owner who still needs support and why seeking coaching later in the game can sometimes be the most strategic move of all.
