Brand And Grow Your Coaching Practice's Podcast

As a Coach we can sometimes find ourselves giving sooo much, that it doesn't even occur to us the legitious environment we live in.  So today I had a chance to catch up with Fractional General Counsel Jon Hood and get some practical legal tips and tricks.

As a Coach, have you ever felt like "sales" was a 4 letter word? I know I certainly did.  Especially if you’re a Coach who’s passionate about your work. But what if sales isn't about persuasion or pushing, but instead a conversation around transferring inspiration. That’s what Genevieve Skory said when we sat down to talk about branding and growing your coaching practice…wanting a desire to shift from us thinking, “I need something from you” to “I want to share something that changed me”.  And when you do that she days, referrals and real connections come more naturally. :)

Now, for a lot of people listening, they wouldn’t characterize themselves as the most extroverted in nature. And while that may be true, it’s also completely true that in order to grand and grow your coaching practice, you need to be out there in the form of podcast or virtual speaking engagements or maybe even on stage.   So what do you do as an introvert if you know you need to get out there, but not sure how to move forward in the speaking journey?   Well, that’s what we’re going talk about here today with James Carson as he talks about the mindset that’s introverts need in order to be more successful with public speaking.   This is perfect if you’ve been thinking about getting on more podcast this year or maybe you’re even looking at doing more virtual presentations or getting out on stage.  

So you’re in for a real treat if you’re thinking about maybe becoming a TEDx speaker Because Jay was one of the founding members of building the TED talks down in Florida.   She’s gonna talk about some dues and don’ts On how you can successfully become a TedX speaker, and this is perfect for anybody who is looking to take a first step down that road.  

Now let me tell you this: being a coach and being in business on your own is not exactly a walk in the park. And if you’ve been in this business for any length of time, you already know that it can be stressful and anxiety producing to stay the least.   We had a chance to talk with Tracy Boone about how she’s able to from a spiritual perspective Is able to find her strength and stay in balance… Despite difficult situations and circumstances.    This is a story you’re going want to hear as Tracy walks you through how she was able to get to be a coach and would allowed her to get to that next level. This is great for someone who might feel like they’re just stressed out and maybe overwhelmed and looking for a little bit of peace and balance in their day.  

This is a conversation that I love having because as someone who is actually not naturally outgoing myself it’s always good to share some of the different techniques as it relates to being successful and getting out there as a speaker. Lawrence actually has that exact same experience in terms of not being a naturally outgoing person, but still recognizing that speaking is a big part of his game and where he wants to go to be successful.   During this episode you will hear some different tips and tricks on what he’s personally done and how he teaches others who are looking to get out there as a speaker… But might not necessarily be the most outgoing person.   This is perfect for somebody who knows they want to get out there as a speaker and who knows that they are maybe not the most outgoing person. And instead wants to move forward anyway. :-)  

So this is a topic that is near and dear to my heart because it was something I was personally struggling with and something that quite frankly, I see a lot of coaches still dealing with which is charging what you’re worth as a coach. Now you already know that you have to charge what you're worth otherwise it's really hard to make a living. :(   But knowing what to do and actually doing it...well, two different things to say the least.  But for me personally, what I had to realize was, I needed to have a shift in mindset first before I could then actually get paid when I was worth and that’s what we’re going talk about with Terri Nicklas here today.

Now, as some of you guys may know, I’m a very spiritually oriented person. I believe in God and I do my best to follow his teachings as laid out in the Bible. And for those of you who are in that frame of mind, you might find a challenge to move forward and generate revenue in the secular world with your coaching practice, while simultaneously adhering to your spiritual principles.   And if that is the case, then you’ll definitely want to tune in as Andrea and I talk about what she’s personally done, as well as myself along those lines. And even if you don’t believe in God or perhaps not spiritually oriented in that way, this might be something that is of interest because it provides a fresh approach around my own personal thinking on how to have a more servant oriented coaching practice…that still makes money!  

If you’re new to coaching or maybe you’ve been around for a while and you’re really looking to ramp up, and get more paying clients heading into 2025, then this is absolutely the conversation you’re gonna wanna listen to as I had a chance to catch up with Jennifer deCoaste.   She talks about her experience around how she built up her coaching practice from a “side hustle” to a full-time income, and some of the regular actions you need to take in order to make that happen. This one is definitely gonna be a treat.   

With the holidays fast approaching, and 2025 on the horizon, the question on a lot of people‘s mind is, What can I do differently as I head into the new year in order to be more successful in my coaching practice?    Well it turns out that it might be less of doing something different and more of thinking a different thought!    And that’s exactly what we’re going to talk about as Karen walks us through the Mindset of Success and you can really make that work for you in your business as we head into 2025. I know for me personally that was a big big stumbling block - and I didn’t even realize it.  And I think that is the case for a lot of other people as well. So if you wanna cut through the cutter and get to a few points that you can actually use, then you’ll wanna tune into our latest episode.  

Let’s face it: As a coach, it can really take a lot of time, money and effort to be successful and reach the point where you want to be. There are networking events to attend, speaking engagements to consider and even podcast interviews to go on.    So the question becomes, How can you get all of this done and build a sustainable profitable coaching practice without burning yourself in the process? Well, that’s exactly what we talked about in this latest episode.  

Online summits is something that we’ve all had experience with either being on them or maybe even creating our own online summit. I had a chance to sit down with Jeanne McPhillips, who has had an extensive amount of experience and not only being on the summit and making it work for her from a business perspective, but also in hosting and creating an online event herself. So if you’re thinking about speaking at an online summit or maybe even hosting your own, then this is the show you wanna hear.   

We all know that in order to get more people to work with us as a Coach, they first need to even know that we exist! Which is why networking is so important, and the topic of discussion today with Su Sarvis.

Let's face it: As Coaches we've got a LOT on our plates. And sometimes it can feel just downright overwhelming to say the least. Which is why I'm super excited to talk with Cindy Baker as she shares some tips and tricks she covers with her clients on overcoming the overwhelm at work. This is one you'll definitely want to tune in for.

If you've ever thought about speaking in front of a crowd but not really sure how to be successful doing it then this is the interview you want to tune into. April Porter is going to tell us some tips and tricks that she uses as a speaker to become more engaging, more inspiring and as a result be more successful with her speaking gigs whether it's a large or small audience. Be ready to take some notes!

Getting corporate clients is something that is talked about a LOT...and with good reason. High ticket prices that are absolutely guaranteed to pay you. AND depending on the corporation, you get a nice little image to put on your website. :) But here's the problem: As entrepreneurs, it's almost impossible to find them! Unless you're Danielle Ralston, who has been doing just fine in that area, thank you very much. And during our talk, she talks about how she's done it. Enjoy.

Let's face it...all of us are SUPER busy. But as Coaches, what are some quick tips / ideas that can help us move forward? Well Brian's next guest, Kelly Watts answers that through her story and journey to becoming a Coach. It's a show you don't want to miss.

So this was a thought that came to me actually after a prospective client decided not to work with me. But I thought was so interesting because in the long run it worked out for me. That might not make sense now but if you tune in it most certainly will.

We the chance to sit down with Ryan bachelor from Crux Leaders, talking about what servant leadership looks like as a business owner coach in the context of not only becoming a better coach and a better person but also attracting more clients in the process.

This actually came to me during a coaching session that I was doing with a client friend of mine the other day and it's funny because there are things that I do that I know I'm doing that are successful. And then as we found out just the other day there are things I'm doing that I don't realize I'm doing that I'm making me successful specifically in the area of generating more referrals as it relates to paying clients and doing so in a way that's not pushy or salesy. This happens to be one of those.
