When we truly trust a client with our thinking, we can make space for them to use it in their own way. This trust is at the heart of Nishe Patel's coaching practice, and in this episode of The Coach's Journey Podcast she explains how occupying a space of not-knowing can pave the way to deep and genuine connections between coaches and their clients. In conversation with Alex Whitton, Nishe brings her expertise to bear on vital questions about the very nature of the curiosity that we prize so highly in coaching and how we can harness curiosity in the spirit of play, creativity and an interest in the person rather than the problem.Nishe experienced a magical moment when she first encountered coaching, and she speaks about the one question that brought her to tears when it was first asked to her within a thoughtfully held coaching framework. This magic gave her the confidence to quit her job in order to embark on several years of training that transformed her career and her life.Nishe's training includes neuro-linguistic programming, hypnosis, and emotion-focused therapy, and she discusses the benefits of being able to integrate working with the unconscious as well as the conscious mind in her practice. Nishe also explains how taking a step back from her coaching career in order to recover from an operation produced insights into the expectations she placed on herself and her clients that would reshape her approach to her work.The rise of AI coaching and mentoring are discussed, along with the principles that underpin various modalities of practice with an ever-increasing reach and appeal.After over a decade in practice, Nishe remains hugely excited by the learning and development that coaching still has to offer her. This episode captures the unfolding nature of a coaching practice, as Nishe shares how she is still discovering new layers of meaning in her work.Nishe and Alex also talk about:How to create the conditions for a deep connection with coaching clients that goes beyond cognitive understandingStriking a balance between reassurance and challengeHow to ensure your business enables you to live the lifestyle you want to leadThe times when coaches need to disappear for their clients to own their growthHow to let go of the need to know why, in order to be with what isTHINGS WE TALKED ABOUT THAT YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN:- Master Certified Coach training from the ICF https://coachingfederation.org/credentialing/icf-credentials-overview/mcc/- NLP coach training https://nlpuktraining.com/- Cyclothymia https://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/conditions/cyclothymia/ - ADHD https://adhduk.co.uk/ - ACTP https://myactp.com/coach-certification/ - Animas https://www.animascoaching.com/- EFT (Emotion-focused therapy) https://www.priorygroup.com/our-services/types-of-therapy/emotion-focused-therapy-eft- Eric Berne and Transactional Analysis https://ericberne.com/transactional-analysis/ - Sir John Whitmore https://www.performanceconsultants.com/about-us/sir-john-whitmore/- Eriksonian hypnotherapy https://www.hypnotherapy-directory.org.uk/approach/ericksonian.html - Anise Frost https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/118-anise-frost-how-to-craft-presence-and-ask-magic-questions- Sam Isaacson https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/112-sam-isaacson-the-challenges-facing-coaching-in-the-age-of-ai- Shruti Sonthalia https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/108-shruti-sonthalia-awareness-combined-with-action-is-the-key-to-creating-changeBIOGRAPHY FROM NISHENishe is a coach, facilitator, mentor, and supervisor with a genuine passion for helping people think differently and be themselves in whatever way they choose.

Now what?Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas breaks down the neuroscience behind why stress and self-control are literally competing for the same mental resources, and what that means for how you coach through it.

It's a coaching skills episode. She covers:Why stress and self-control are biologically at odds (not just emotionally)The "battery" analogy she uses with HMCC students to help clients audit their mental capacityThe three most common coach responses to stress excuses and why two of them backfireHow to reframe low-consistency weeks as a design problem, not a character flawThe language shifts that accidentally reinforce a fixed mindset about self-controlIf you've ever validated a client's stressful week and immediately wondered if you just let them off the hook, this episode is for you. Connect with me on Instagram!Grab 5 Free Lessons in Mindset and Behavior Change Coaching [HMCC WAITLIST]LEAVE A REVIEW, WIN A WORKSHOP!

What if finding coaching clients is not the biggest barrier to becoming a coach, but one of the most powerful parts of the learning process? In this episode of the podcast, we explore one of the most common questions we hear from people who are training to become coaches, thinking about starting a coaching qualification, or wondering how they will complete their coaching practice hours: where do I find coaching clients? We know this question can bring up a lot of anxiety. Before someone begins a coaching qualification, it can feel as though finding clients will be the hardest part. There may be worries about asking people, not knowing where to look, feeling visible online, or wondering whether anyone will actually want coaching from someone still in training. Yet, in our experience, this fear rarely becomes the reality. Throughout the episode, we talk through the practical numbers first. For a Level 3 coaching certificate, you may need two clients. For a Level 5 coaching diploma, you may need around six clients. For a Level 7 senior and executive coaching qualification, you may need around eight clients. When we put it like that, the process begins to feel much more manageable. It is not about finding dozens of people. It is about finding the right people, creating a strong enough pool, and being prepared for the fact that some clients may not complete all their sessions. We also reflect on how powerful your existing network can be. Your cohort, friends, colleagues, workplace, LinkedIn connections, Facebook groups, local community groups, professional networks and voluntary organisations can all become potential places to find coaching clients. The key is not to hide your coaching journey. It is to share it from the beginning, allow people to follow your development, and then clearly invite the right people to come forward when you are ready to begin coaching. A big part of the conversation is about confidence and specificity. If you are looking for coaching clients, it helps to explain who you want to support and what kind of coaching opportunity you are offering. For example, if you are training at senior or executive level, you might want to coach leaders who are new in role, navigating change, or developing confidence in leadership. When people can see themselves in your invitation, they are much more likely to reach out. We also speak about the value of using your workplace, not only as a source of clients but as a way of bringing coaching skills back into your organisation. Even if you are funding your own coaching qualification, your employer may still benefit from your development. Coaching is a leadership skill, and offering coaching across different teams can create a genuine win for both you and the organisation. The episode also opens up the idea that coaching clients can be found in places that matter to you personally. Local charities, hospices, GP surgeries, animal shelters, community groups, business networks and professional associations may all include people who would deeply value the opportunity to experience coaching. This is where finding clients becomes more than a qualification requirement. It becomes part of stepping into the identity of being a coach. What we came back to again and again is that finding coaching clients is about being visible, asking clearly, asking more than once, and being willing to move beyond your comfort zone. There are opportunities for coaching everywhere. The task is to notice them, speak about what you are offering, and trust that people are often far more open to coaching than you might expect. For anyone training to become a coach, this episode is a grounded reminder that you are not on your own. You have networks, cohorts, communities and resources around you. Finding clients does not need to be the reason you hold back from coaching training. It can become one of the first real steps into practising, learning and becoming the coach you are developing into. Timestamps 00:00: Introduction to finding coaching clients We introduce the episode and the common concern many trainee coaches have about finding practice clients. 00:58: How many coaching clients do you need? We break down the coaching practice requirements for Level 3, Level 5 and Level 7 coaching qualifications. 02:00: Why you may need extra clients We explain why it is helpful to have additional potential clients in case someone cannot complete all sessions. 02:30: Using your coaching cohort We explore how cohort swaps and referrals can help trainee coaches find suitable practice clients. 03:00: Sharing your coaching journey We discuss why sharing your learning from day one can build visibility and trust across your network. 04:15: Using LinkedIn and your wider network We talk about LinkedIn, social media and asking your network to connect you with people who may benefit from coaching. 05:34: Being specific about who you want to coach We explain why clarity around your ideal coaching client makes it easier for people to reach out. 06:56: Asking for help and posting more than once We reflect on the importance of perseverance, visibility and asking people to comment or share your posts. 07:54: Finding clients through The Coaching Crowd Facebook group We share how coach matching posts can support trainee coaches and people seeking pro bono coaching. 09:11: Finding coaching clients at work We explore how your workplace can become a valuable and appropriate source of coaching clients. 11:36: Creating variety in your coaching portfolio We discuss why it helps to coach people from different departments or areas of an organisation. 12:14: Local groups and business communities We look at local Facebook groups, business networks, professional communities and regional meetings as useful sources of clients. 14:48: Coaching in causes and communities you care about We explore how charities, hospices, GP surgeries, animal shelters and community organisations may offer meaningful coaching opportunities. 17:00: Coaching peers and previous learners We discuss the value of coaching others in your cohort or people who have previously trained and now want coaching again. 18:18: Final reflections and coaching course quiz We close by reassuring listeners that finding clients does not need to be an obstacle and signpost the coaching course quiz. Key Lessons Learned Finding coaching clients often feels more daunting before training begins than it does once you are actually on the journey. The number of clients needed for coaching practice is usually more manageable when you break it down clearly. Your coaching cohort can be one of the strongest sources of client referrals, especially when everyone contributes to the pool. Sharing your coaching journey early helps people understand what you are learning and builds trust before you ask for clients. LinkedIn can be a powerful place to attract coaching clients, but visibility takes consistency rather than relying on one post. Being specific about who you want to coach helps potential clients decide whether they are a good match. Asking your network to comment, share or introduce you to others can significantly increase your reach. Your workplace can provide valuable coaching opportunities, especially when framed as leadership development and organisational benefit. Local communities, business groups, charities and professional networks can all provide meaningful opportunities to practise coaching. Finding clients is part of becoming a coach because it asks you to step into confidence, visibility and professional identity.

If you're a coach or expert, you probably think your biggest problem is client attraction. It's not. You have a trust problem. And you're leaking trust in three specific places in your funnel every single day. In this episode, I name all three, and show you exactly how to fix each one — including the second piece that almost everybody overlooks, which is the thing that makes people show up to your calls already trusting you. I break down why talking to everybody in your ads is the kiss of death under Facebook's new Andromeda system, what an authority masterclass actually needs to do (hint: it's not teaching), and why the industry-standard 15-20% close rate is a symptom of pitching instead of diagnosing. I also walk through the five specific belief shifts your masterclass needs to engineer before anyone ever books a call with you. If your cost per booked call keeps climbing and nothing you try seems to fix it, this episode will show you exactly where the breakdown is happening. "Being trustworthy isn't enough. You also have to sell and market in a way that builds trust at every step."

AI is everywhere. Anyone can ask ChatGPT a health question and get an answer in two seconds. So why would a health coach bother writing a blog post? Because a blog that's built to convert clients is a completely different thing from the content your audience is already drowning in, and Jana Osofsky has spent years figuring out exactly how to build one. Jana joins Michelle to talk about the capsule blog: a library of 12 to 20 intentionally chosen posts built around what your potential clients need to hear before they're ready to say yes to your offer. They get into why most coaches are writing the wrong things entirely, how to use AI without having your blog sound like everyone else's, and why "you're not a blogger, you're a coach with a blog" might be the most important reframe for any growing health coaches. Jana and Michelle are also teaching a free live training on June 18th on exactly how to build your capsule blog and use it to sign clients on repeat.

Here's something most coaches know but don't act on: referrals are the single best source of clients. People who come to you through a referral already trust you. They've heard about you from someone they respect. The sale is half made before you even get on the call. And yet — most coaches leave referrals entirely to chance. They hope their happy clients will spread the word. They assume if someone loved working with them, they'll naturally tell others. But hope isn't a strategy. This episode kicks off a five-part series called "The Conversations That Build Coaching Businesses." Over the next five weeks, we're going beyond the discovery call and into the conversations most coaches avoid, fumble through, or never think to have. We're starting with the referral conversation — how to ask for referrals in a way that feels natural, not awkward or desperate, and actually works. I'm sharing stories from my own business, including a CEO client who came back three years later with a referral, the family doctors who became consistent referral partners early in my career, and how I've built cross-referral relationships with coaches in adjacent niches. Plus, I'm giving you specific language you can use — with past clients, current clients, peers, and professional contacts — so you never have to wonder what to say again. In this episode, I cover: Why referrals are your highest-converting source of clients (and why most coaches leave them to chance) The fears and beliefs that keep coaches from asking for referrals Who to ask and when — past clients, current clients, peers, and professional contacts How to build referral relationships with other professionals by asking "What's the gap, and how can I help you fill it?" The power of cross-referrals: finding coaches in adjacent niches who serve the same avatar client Specific language for asking for referrals in different contexts How to make it easy for people to refer you (so they actually do) When formal affiliate or referral programs make sense How to follow up and build a referral culture in your business What to do when someone doesn't refer anyone (and why it's not personal) Coming up in this series: Episode 91: The Networking Conversation Episode 92: The "Not Right Now" Conversation Episode 93: The Price Conversation Episode 94: The Difficult Client Conversation Resources & Links: How to Get New Clients Now FREE Masterclass Business Building support for coaches The Confident Coaching Skills Intensive — now available self-guided Get It Done: Private Coaching with Wendy

I've noticed something interesting across all the coaches I work with. The ones who struggle the most to describe what they do are the same ones struggling to get clients consistently. The length of your answer is almost perfectly inversely related to how full your roster looks. In this episode, I'm breaking down the scattered vs. sniper approach to messaging and pulling in three real client case studies from my Small Bite Offer cohort who shifted from broad and vague to laser-focused.  What you'll walk away with: Why your "I help women..." intro is costing you coaching clients The 2am question that pinpoints your real audience  How three of my coaches went from scattered to sniper and what changed The first move to make if your current messaging feels foggy Plus, doors are open for the only live cohort of the Small Bite Offer Program in 2026.

Send us Fan MailIn this week's episode 353 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I'm sharing some of the biggest insights that emerged after analyzing 12 different coaching sessions with clients struggling with boundaries, self-care, guilt, resentment, and emotional overwhelm.What became clear is that most people do not actually need more information about boundaries. Many already know what healthy boundaries are intellectually. The deeper struggle is what happens internally when boundaries become emotionally real.I also share an important recovery resource called Survivors of Incest Anonymous (SIA) and why it's so important that more people know this fellowship exists.Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:Why the real issue is often not boundary-setting, but staying connected to yourself during emotional discomfortHow people override their own needs, limits, and truth the moment guilt, anxiety, or tension appearThe difference between discomfort and actual dangerWhy over-giving and people-pleasing are often attempts to create emotional safetyWhat internal safety really means and why it's one of the deepest forms of self-careThis episode explores how many people are not reacting to actual events, but to anticipated guilt, rejection, disappointment, or conflict. And how learning to tolerate emotional discomfort without abandoning yourself changes everything.Because real self-care is not about perfection, productivity, or keeping everyone happy. It's about learning how to stay emotionally anchored in yourself when discomfort appears instead of automatically overriding your own feelings, needs, and limits.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.Thank you for listening!

In this episode, I'm chatting to coaching client Sophie.We talk about emotional eating, hormones, self-talk, consistency, dealing with social situations while trying to lose weight, and learning how to keep going when things aren't perfect.It's a really honest conversation about the mental side of trying to lose weight and build healthier habits long term — especially when you tend to swing between “all on” and “all off”.A big thank you to Sophie for coming on the podcast.

It can be effective for parenting coaches, health coaches, therapists, and others in the B2C space.

Brand loyalty isn't just for your favorite products or services. It is just as important in the coaching world. This week, Lisa explores the one hidden skill that keeps her clients coming back and growing with her for years: psychological safety. She explains why real change requires more than just a smart strategy, expertise, or a great offer. It also requires an environment where people feel safe enough to be honest, open, and understood. Lisa shares how curiosity, empathy, and active listening help clients commit to the work and stay connected long enough to see actual growth. If you are a coach, speaker, consultant, or service provider, this episode will challenge you to think beyond simple tactics. It is time to develop the kind of leadership that builds loyalty, keeps clients around, and leads to much better results.  

Most coaches are losing thousands every month and blaming the wrong things. It is not your pricing, your niche or your marketing. For many coaches just starting out, the single biggest drain on monthly revenue is the absence of one simple document. Robin learned this the hard way, losing close to £24,000 in his first year of coaching before finally fixing it. In this episode, Robin shares the exact mistake that cost him £2,000 a month, how a simple client agreement transformed his retention and cash flow, and why getting clients to sign a contract is about far more than legal protection. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: ✅ Why coaching clients leave early and how to prevent it without having difficult conversations or chasing payments ✅ How a simple coaching agreement changes client commitment and why signing a contract is as much psychological as it is legal ✅ The payment plan structure that anchors clients into long-term recurring revenue and sets up your continuation income automatically ✅ How to protect your coaching income without feeling pushy or transactional whilst still delivering maximum value

In a world flooded with AI-generated content and endless posting, this episode reveals why most online coaches are stuck chasing clients instead of attracting them and breaks down a proven system for turning your message into a client-generating machine . Drawing from years of experience scaling coaching businesses, Jason introduces the "in-demand system," a three-step approach focused on powerful messaging, a strategic content ecosystem, and conversion-driven campaigns that create pre-sold buyers. Instead of relying on volume, algorithms, or vanity metrics, the episode shows how mastering communication, belief-shifting content, and live conversion events can build predictable, sustainable revenue in today's AI-driven market.   "If you're trying to chase the algorithm stuff and you're switching strategies based on that, you're never really able to build something that's foundational. And so when you build your business on quicksand, you're going to always sink. You might be stable for a minute, but it's gonna sink."   Inside This Episode: Strong messaging is the foundation of growth, and saying the right words to the right people drives conversions more than posting volume.  The "in-demand system" works through three steps: refine your message, build a content ecosystem, and run campaigns that convert.  The modern buyer needs multiple touchpoints and long-form engagement, often consuming hours of content before making a purchase.  Shifting core beliefs through content is essential to move prospects from interest to action and create pre-sold clients.  Live masterclasses and structured campaigns are the most effective way to accelerate trust, shorten the sales cycle, and generate consistent revenue.   Connect with Jason Meland: Email: jason@goliveonlinemastermind.com Website: https://www.growmyvisibility.com/ Instagram: @coachjasonmeland Facebook: Jason Meland - In Demand Coach LinkedIn: Jason Meland

If you've hired a coach, taken a program, and learned all the things, but you still don't have coaching clients, this video is the honest conversation you need to hear. It's probably not the program.

What do you do when a client's financial struggles are tied to addiction? In this episode, Cody brings a real question from a listener about coaching a client who had been making strong financial progress—only to suddenly fall backwards due to substance addiction. What follows is a deeper conversation about how to respond when the issue goes beyond money. Maria shares insight from her background in substance abuse counseling, unpacking how addiction impacts both income and spending, and why progress can quickly reverse when underlying behaviors aren't addressed. They also talk through one of the most important things for coaches to understand: where your role begins—and where it should stop. From the stages of change to the importance of accountability, this episode helps you support your client without stepping outside your lane. If you've ever had a client where the challenge felt bigger than money, this conversation will give you a clearer framework for how to move forward.

You are showing up.You are posting.You are doing the work. So why are clients still not coming consistently? It is not your content. In Episode 345, Cathy Smith breaks down the simple client flow most coaches are missing and why visibility alone is not enough to grow your coaching business. If you are stuck posting and hoping, this episode will show you how to move people from interest to action using one simple shift.

She wanted some coaching. Both of us are professional coaches and we do that for each other from time to time.Yes, you can coach a friend or family member as long as you set good boundaries and don't treat them like a client outside of coaching conversations. It takes mindfulness and it can be done with grace.

Prosperous Coach loves FAN MAIL. Find the FULL NON-AI TRANSCRIPT at ProsperousCoach.com/381.This episode is short and part of the series called Smart & Profitable Coaching Niches. If you're new to this podcast and struggling to determine a strategic coaching niche, this series is for you. Check out all the episodes in this series at prosperouscoach.com/niche.There's something I hear nearly all new coaches say … they say “there's a real need for that niche” or “that audience really needs help with this”. If I'm their business coach I encourage them to think differently.Shift from tracking needs to tracking wants.In the world of attraction, wants are more compelling than needs with few exceptions. So instead of thinking about a person's or a group's needs, think instead about their wants – the desire that compels them to action.All people have needs. And as newly trained coaches we have a heightened sense of this.But not all people are seekers — people who do invest in their own personal or professional growth. Seekers are people with urgent WANTS. They want something and they are willing to pay well for help to achieve it.Coaches are seekers. But that's just an example to help you realize what a seeker is about. I don't recommend new coaches target other coaches as clients. It's a much over marketed to audience.You want an audience that helps you stand out in the crowd of coaches and other people trying to attract attention.Rhonda Hess helps new coaches leverage their zone of genius into a profitable coaching niche and launch with confidence.For VIP step-by-step support apply  for Rhonda's VIP Coaching Business Breakthrough Program here and she'll be in touch to invite you a discovery call.Or if you're stuck on your coaching niche, grab a Nail Your Niche Strategy Session with Rhonda here.

Getting consistent clients in your health coaching business can be tough when you don't have a clear strategy (and with ALL the noise around going viral on social media) Many coaches we work with are stuck in a cycle of posting, hoping, and waiting, relying on social media to somehow bring in their next client. But what if the problem isn't your content… it's your strategy? In this episode, I sit down with Jenn Malecha to break down how to build a stable, repeatable client pipeline on repeat with REAL business strategies. This isn't about posting more. It's about building a system that actually works. In this episode, we cover: • Why social media alone isn't a client acquisition strategy • The biggest mistake health coaches make when trying to grow • How to create consistency in your business (without burnout) • 3 practical ways to get clients on repeat. If you're tired of feeling like you're starting from zero every month… this episode will change how you think about your business. Let's keep the conversation going: Send me a message or share your business questions in the comments!  Until the next investigation… keep asking deeper questions.

In this episode, I share the three sales principles that have guided my career from being the top telemarketer at my first job in high school to becoming the number one door to door sales rep in Texas for Reliant Energy and later selling coaching and consulting programs ranging from $3,000 to $30,000.If you are a business coach who feels uncomfortable selling, discounts your prices to get clients, or dreads discovery calls, this episode will help you understand why. I explain why sales struggles are rarely a confidence problem and almost always a principles problem.You will learn how valuing people over profit, clearly understanding your program, and living as a leader every day can transform the way you sell and help you close premium clients with integrity.----Want to build a podcast that attracts high-ticket clients and grows your coaching business?
