    This episode is coming to you just after the recent launch of Coach with Clarity Collective; which is my group program for innovative, intuitive coaches who are seeking support and community as they deepen their coaching mastery and build their business skills. If you're interested in joining the collective, you can join waitlist. One of the things I did after this launch was reach out to people who had demonstrated interest with a short survey that included a question about why they opted not to join the collective this round and there were two themes that stood out. The first was that the price point was out of their budget. The second was that they didn't have enough confidence in their ability to be a great coach to invest the time and money into the program. Those responses inspired me to spend the next several weeks re-airing some of my earliest podcast episodes in what I'm calling the Back to Basics series. The first episode in this series is all about helping you create clarity in your coaching, don't you think? Now, what do I mean by having clarity in your coaching? Well, I'm talking about getting super clear on who you want to serve, what they really need from you, and how you want to serve them.

    Us entrepreneurs are tired, burnt out, and bored. We don't want the same old thing when it comes to the tools we use and how we run our businesses. We want to put more of an emphasis on making deep connections and friendships in an online space rather than just making a sale. But, here's the thing… not all boredom is created equal. Some types of boredom can be destructive, but some types of boredom might even be necessary for our growth. In this episode, I share how the new social media platform from Meta, Threads led to the epiphany that inspired this episode, how boredom with the traditional marketing and sales strategies is fueling my desire to pivot how I do things in my own business, responses I received when I asked other business owners what they do when they're feeling bored in their business or disconnected from their purpose, the types of boredom that are necessary for our growth, and more.   If you want to learn more about the resources mentioned in this episode, visit the show notes.   * * * * * *   Grow Your Coaching Practice!

Not only do Ashley and I look startling alike, we also have a shared outlook on how we want to run our business and serve the world.

Yet, I know that when used properly, Facebook ads can really help us grow our business. In fact, I personally experienced that inside Coach with Clarity®. I've brought Ashley on today to specifically talk about the role of Facebook ads, how she approaches it, best practices for coaches who are thinking about using ads to grow their business, how to run ads on a platform we have mixed feelings about, and how to almost hack the system in order to share our message and see more of what we want.     If you want to learn more about the resources mentioned in this episode, visit the show notes.   * * * * * *   Grow Your Coaching Practice!

    It's frustrating to recognize that we simply don't have the internal resources we need to take action despite having the capability to do so. Most of us are highly-capable individuals who know how to show up as coaches, serve our people, and help them create their desired changes. That passion drives us to keep growing and doing more, but the problem arises when we don't check in with ourselves and get honest about our capacity.  Today I'm talking about the difference between capability and capacity and how it might inform your work inside your coaching practice. I'm sharing the difficult yet necessary decisions I've recently made to respect my current capacity while still growing and scaling a business I love, how I think about capacity vs. capability, old beliefs that came up when I decided to step back, why these decisions are necessary for building a sustainable coaching practice, and more.

    “Put yourself out there!” When it comes to growing your brand and your business online, this is the type of broad-brush advice you will likely come across. On the surface, it makes total sense because to grow our client base and build our impact, we need to be visible. The problem is, when the goal is simply to reach as many people as possible, we miss a lot of essential nuances - like safety and energetic alignment. Today I'm thrilled to be joined by my friend, Mai-Kee Tsang, to learn more about her approach to creating frameworks around Sustainable Visibility®. Mai-kee is the Sustainable Visibility® Mentor, ICF-Certified Trauma-Conscious Leadership Coach, Podcast Guesting Strategist, and Speaker. She's on a mission to amplify the voices of socially-conscious visionaries here to make a deeper difference to those they serve through an inclusive, equitable, and intersectional lens. In this conversation, Mai-kee and I discuss her journey towards sustainable visibility, why it's essential to put protections in place, the importance of establishing and maintaining personal boundaries in business, tools to help you figure out the best approach for you, and more. Mai-kee's approach to sustainable visibility is a refreshing alternative to the urgency culture we're so often bombarded with. I suspect you'll get so much out of this conversation.

To get through this and figure out what you want, we need safe spaces to openly explore our options. Places where we can explore the logical next steps as well as our desires and visions. Today I'm joined by Mary Williams, the founder, and CEO of Sensible Woo, where she teaches highly sensitive and neuro-divergent online business owners how to replace chaos in their backend business operations with harmonious processes and systems.

How do our agreements serve us and our clients while aligning with your goals and values? In this episode of our Art of Coaching series, I'm talking about our commitments to our clients, businesses, and ourselves.

    Trust-based relationships are vital for creating a positive and productive coaching experience. A coaching relationship with a strong foundation of trust, honesty, and respect allows clients to feel safe to be vulnerable. It helps them to be more receptive, knowing that the coach is coming from a place of support and respect. That foundation sets the stage for the client's success. In today's installment in our series on the Art of Coaching, I'm discussing why cultivating trust in your relationships is crucial. We're expanding on all the topics we've covered so far and looking at how trust can be integrated at each stage. Without trust, our ability to be ethical, powerful coaches that serve our clients consistently is compromised. In this episode, I'm sharing what it means to create a relationship centered on trust, steps to build that strong foundation in your relationships, why it matters, and outside factors we must consider when co-creating these relationships with our clients.

    Mindset is much more than limiting beliefs; it's about how we relate to our internal experiences. Taking it a level deeper, a coaching mindset is about how we externalize our internal responses and how they inform our behavior as coaches. As we continue our series on the Art of Coaching, each week builds on the last, and we develop a fuller picture of what it takes to become a masterful coach. This week we're exploring what it means to embody a coaching mindset. Embodying a coaching mindset is one of the ICF's core competencies, which every ICF coach must practice actively. When we have a well-developed coaching mindset, we deeply understand that our role is to support and facilitate learning and growth in our clients.

    As coaches, most of us consider ourselves good listeners. You care deeply about your clients; part of demonstrating that care is being a good listener. To help clients tap into who they are and what they want, we, as coaches, first need to ensure we completely understand our clients' situations. That comes through actively listening when our clients are speaking to us. In today's episode, I'm exploring next-level listening as the second part of our art of coaching series. We'll break down the traditional approach to active listening, including how the ICF defines it, what it means to be a next-level listener, and additional ways to approach listening that will enhance our clients' experiences.

    When I hear “sales funnel,” there's sometimes a reflexive internal cringe. We've all seen examples of funnels that are more focused on making money than genuinely serving the client.

She's about helping you create ethical and intentional funnels that prioritize clients' needs. Danielle has over five years of experience in online marketing, helping entrepreneurs scale their one-to-many or group offer sustainably and gross manipulation tactic-free. She's on a mission to make ease, freedom, and play not just the goal but felt throughout the process. In our conversation, Danielle shared fantastic insights into how you can create a funnel that truly supports your potential clients as they engage with you and your business. In a world where so many online businesses are vying for our attention, being client-centered helps you stand out from the crowd and nurture relationships that last for the long term.

    It's an exciting feeling when inspiration strikes. Your energy surges, and you're motivated to bring this to life. But once you get closer to implementation, losing that energy and interest is common. The shiny new idea starts to lose luster. It's the point where many people give up on their inspired idea. It's an experience I've had myself and something I've seen countless times with clients. Some of those projects simply weren't a good fit, but others could have been aligned opportunities if followed through to the end. That's why it's so valuable to have a process to support you. There's nothing like seeing your ideas become a reality and knowing it's all because you took action when inspiration hit.

As part of the business side of things, today we're taking a look at what every coaching practice needs to set you up for success in the long run.

So many of you have reached out, wanting support in the early phases of your coaching journey - that's exactly why I created From Couch to Coach.

Today we're looking at the other side of the voice and vulnerability conversation - the discomfort we feel when we share our voices and get what we want.

    We live in a culture that's not built for neurodivergence. Our insidious productivity culture shows up everywhere, from the workplace to personal relationships and maybe even within our businesses. It has told us that our human worth is based on our ability to produce something. But when everything has to be measured and monetized, we leave ourselves no way to rest and recharge. So how do we thrive as people who view the world differently than expected? It's up to us to create systems that support us and to build coaching practices that prioritize accessibility. To explore this topic more deeply, I'm thrilled to be joined by Briar Harvey, an executive functioning specialist for neurodiverse folks. Briar is a storyteller and systems witch who, for more than a decade, has been helping people figure out what the next step is and, sometimes, how to take it. In this conversation, we talk about the personal journey that led to Briar's work with neurodiverse people, where to start when we don't even know what to ask for, why individualized systems are essential for those of us who are neurodivergent, how to give yourself the grace and space you need, and more.

    Now more than ever, audiences want to feel connected to the people behind the brands. They want to hear from you. In last week's episode, I shared why I believe 2023 is the Year of the Coach and referenced an article from the US Chamber of Commerce that shared predictions for 2023. One of those predictions - the rise in founder-led businesses - is an especially golden opportunity for many small business owners. We're the very definition of a founder-led brand! With this shift in what clients want to see, it's increasingly important that we are willing to show up and share our story and ourselves with our people. At the same time, sharing yourself can be one of the hardest things we will do as coaches and business owners. As our visibility increases, our vulnerability increases, and putting ourselves out there opens us up to criticism. Today I'm exploring what it looks like to navigate these waters and how to do it in a way that aligns with your values, connects you with the more profound meaning, and acknowledges the vulnerability and the consequences of sharing your voice. I know you have a message that only you can share, and we're waiting to hear it.         If you want to learn more about the resources mentioned in this episode, visit the show notes.   * * * * * *   Grow Your Coaching Practice!

    2023 is the Year of the Coach. It's a bold declaration, and I'm willing to make it. I was brainstorming topics for the podcast when this idea came to me. It drew my attention, and I must admit, it startled me a bit. The first thing I thought was, “Who are you to make such a bold statement?” But when I checked in with my intuition, I sensed I was on the right track. I firmly believe in the power of intuition and that we need to pay attention when our inner wisdom speaks to us. I also believe we need to pair our inner knowing with external knowledge. So, to remain in integrity with myself, I went in search of that external research. Imagine my delight when I found the evidence that I'm not the only one who thinks this year is filled with potential and opportunities for coaches. Today I'm sharing a very interesting article that supports my declaration, what coaches need to do to ensure we meet the opportunities in the coming year, and how to set yourself up for success in 2023.

    Today, I am super excited to share another guest appearance I made on an outstanding podcast called Therapist Rising. Many of you know that prior to becoming a coach, and becoming a coach trainer, I was a Psychotherapist for almost fifteen years. My background is in social work and public health, and I was a licensed clinical social worker and therapist for a very long time. In fact, much of my work in that field informs how I show up and train as a coach today. In my conversation with Dr. Hayley Kelly, we explored what it is like to make the transition from therapy to coaching. I shared my own internalized fear around making that transition, how to handle some external feedback you might get from people, how to handle any judgment or concern that comes up either from others or yourself, some of the practical implications of transitioning from therapy to coaching, and what to do if you want to ethically and legally do both. My goal with this interview was to provide and true and accurate perspective of what it's like to become a coach and start a coaching practice.       If you want to learn more about the resources mentioned in this episode, visit the show notes on Dr. Hayley Kelly's Website.   * * * * * *   Grow Your Coaching Practice! Go from idea to income in 90 days or less with the free Coach with Clarity Business Blueprint!

    As coaches, we help our clients create transformations in their lives. Often, that looks like a process that happens over several sessions and an extended period. How can we condense that value into a VIP day model? What sort of boundaries do we need to set to facilitate the process? Today I'm delighted to introduce you to my friend and colleague, Sarah Masci, the go-to person when it comes to creating, implementing, and refining your VIP intensive or day rate services. With 16 years of branding and design experience, Sarah became known as a leader in the online industry for clients looking for high-quality branding and web design before launching Day Rate Mastery® in 2019. Sarah's mission is to use her personal strengths to empower others to take their expertise and service-based business to the next level and achieve the life and business of their dreams. In this conversation, we're talking about what coaches, in particular, need to know when it comes to day rates and how you can incorporate a day rate model in your business. We cover so much in our conversation, and I know you will enjoy it!       If you want to learn more about the resources mentioned in this episode, visit the show notes.   * * * * * *   Grow Your Coaching Practice! Go from idea to income in 90 days or less with the free Coach with Clarity Business Blueprint!

    136: How to Handle Refund Requests

    Refunds happen. They're not fun, but they're a rite of passage that most of us must learn to manage even though we wish we could avoid it. As someone who has had that pit-in-the-stomach experience of opening your inbox to see an email with the subject line “Refund request,” I've found that they're much easier to handle if we prepare for it in advance. Today I'm sharing primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention strategies you can use to create a plan that you can turn to when a client requests a refund. Before we dive into the logistics and tools, I want to emphasize that as ethical coaches, refund requests do not say anything about your worthiness as a person or as a coach. They're just a part of doing business. I hope this episode will give you some structure and guidelines for handling refund requests and the complex emotions that can come with them.       If you want to learn more about the resources mentioned in this episode, visit the show notes.   * * * * * *   Grow Your Coaching Practice!

    Astrology provides us with data that can help us to inspire, create and maintain change, not just in our lives, but in society as a whole.

Whether you are astro-curious, a devoted follower, or a bit skeptical, I encourage you to listen because there's something in here for everyone.
