16 - Guest Jean Balfour
Today I have the pleasure of interviewing coach and business person extraordinaire – Jean Balfour. We explored Jean’s own Corporate to Coach Story including lots of juicy details about her coaching business. We talked about when she says no to work, how she is working on her own money stories, what famous figure she would like to coach and more.
Jean has also undergone a second transition as she also now runs Bailey Balfour – and ICF accredited coach training company. I get to ask lots of questions about why and how she grew this business, what is important to her when it comes to coach training, and when she thinks it is important to do advanced PCC level training.
You can find Jean in lots of places:

Jean also mentioned a few books:
Never Eat Alone, Keith Ferrazzi
The Happiness Trap, Dr Russ Harris
The Way of Integrity, Martha Beck
I love the work of Russ Harris but the other 2 are new to me so I’ll be diving in!
