Believing it will make it so for you.When I was in my 20's, I worked in the shoe department of Macy's. It was a prized job in retail because commission sales can mean significant income without management responsibilities.I was good at it because I paid close attention to each single person I was serving. I asked questions to discover what they wanted and then, brought them options that fit.They felt heard and understood.But when I became a coach, I got up in my head about selling and forgot about connection.I worried what hearing ‘No' would mean about me. And that was my big mistake. Sales is not really about you. Let's dissolve old wrong-headed ideas about selling that get in your way with 5 selling secrets for coaches. I'd love to hear from you.

Find the full transcript for Episode 363 at ProsperousCoach.com/363.This episode is inspired by my own breaches in integrity over the 2 decades plus that I've been a coach and some I see other coaches stumble with as well.If you took coach training, hopefully you were provided with some standard ethical guidelines that need to be followed with your clients. Things like:·      Keeping your coaching client's contact info and what they say confidential unless they give express permission for you to share some part of it.·      Setting personal and time boundaries with clients.Beyond that, no one talks much about ethics and integrity in coaching.Coaching is not currently a regulated field so it's doubly important that you, as the professional coach, regulate yourself. That helps all coaches and the future of coaching.Complaints about coaches hurt the field of coaching. And we really don't want this field to be regulated, as it would greatly change the coaching industry for the worse.Have you realized that YOU are a PROFESSIONAL? Take this in.Own the fact that what you do is a professional service and you are a trained professional offering serious and consequential experiences through your coaching.When I say serious and consequential, I mean that you could hurt someone just as easily as you could help them.I'd love to hear from you.

Burnout looks different up close. In this solo episode of The Raving Coaches Podcast, I (Laura Hulleman) unpack a question sparked by my former client Sandra Lee: Can we reach clients before burnout? I share the “house on fire” analogy—911 moments, kitchen-flame moments, and simple smoke-alarm moments—to help you decide exactly which phase your marketing is designed to meet. We explore how urgency, perceived importance, and clear problem-naming influence whether someone grabs a podcast and a workshop—or pulls out the credit card.

The relief was palpable.Search traffic is NOT the best way to attract serious coaching clients who will show up, do the work and make real progress.And, besides that, AI is stealing attention away from original content on searches at an increasing rate.Let your left brain relax.

Listen in as David shares how he's built a thriving referral engine—receiving 10 to 15 client introductions per week—by teaching clients how to make meaningful connections instead of simply "asking for referrals."

If you're an executive or leadership coach who loves the work but feels stuck when it comes to growing your business with corporate clients, this episode is for you. You might notice that you're doing some of the right things like updating your LinkedIn, attending webinars, or working with a few associate contracts, but it's not translating into steady, predictable clients. You might be wondering, “What am I missing?” In this special episode, I'm sharing the full Executive Coach Business Growth Masterclass, where I walk you through exactly what it takes to create a consistent flow of corporate and organisational clients without constantly selling. Here's what we cover: ✅ The 10-part Executive Coach Pipeline Model that forms the foundation of a sustainable coaching business. ✅ How to reverse-engineer your revenue goals so client generation becomes a numbers game, not guesswork. ✅ The power of warm outreach and how just five conversations a day can completely change your results. ✅ The mindset shifts that stop perfectionism and fear from holding you back. ✅ Practical systems to bring rhythm, accountability and joy back into your business. You'll also hear about common challenges coaches face, from sales resistance and overthinking to losing confidence when outreach doesn't get a quick reply, and how to navigate them with structure and self-trust. By the end of this session, you'll see how to connect your network, offers and credibility into one clear funnel that fuels consistent growth so you can focus on the work you love instead of chasing clients.

You've probably heard this one before: “My clients are women in career transition, so I should be on LinkedIn… right?”Not so fast, coach.In this episode, I'm breaking down one of the biggest myths I hear from life, career, and leadership coaches — the belief that your audience is only on LinkedIn because of their job title.Your dream clients are humans first, professionals second.They hang out at book clubs, soccer fields, cooking classes, and yes… maybe the occasional LinkedIn scroll.But if you're only showing up where you think they should be, you're missing where they actually are.In this episode, you'll learn:Why assuming “LinkedIn = professional clients” is a marketing trapWhere your clients are actually spending their time (and attention)How to rethink your visibility strategy so you can connect — not chase

“Leadership is not about having all the answers but about asking the right questions." – Vorng Panha Check Out These Highlights:   A recent topic that's been generating a lot of interest is the subject of “PERMISSION,” especially when it comes to taking your career, business, and/or life to the next level!

This episode is especially for business owners and consultants, but the themes will resonate with anyone navigating leadership in challenging times. No matter your role, the struggles we face are often more similar than different, and there's always something to learn from the stories of others. Recently, my business coaching clients and entrepreneurial colleagues have been sharing struggles that might feel familiar:  "What sold before is not selling now." "I am ready to make a pivot, but I'm feeling nervous and unsure about how to do so." "With the online space feeling loud and saturated, I'm feeling less confident in making myself more visible." "I need to grow my team, but I'm nervous about finding the right people and/or giving up control." "I'm struggling with boundaries and communication with my team." "I'm overwhelmed and exhausted by my business + the state of the world!" Over my 22 years as a business owner, the state of the world has forced me to reimagine (and sometimes rapidly pivot) my business, my offers, and my team multiple times. After a few moments (or days) of "WTF?! Why is this happening to me?!", I've always been able to find a path forward and often have found a stronger sense of purpose and drive because of this driving mantra: I know what I'm good at. I know I can create incredible outcomes for people. I have proven that I can be endlessly adaptable and resilient in my 49 years on this planet. This time is no different. LFG. In this episode, I'll share 3 steps you can take right now to address these struggles head-on. Because the world being extra loud and extra messy does not diminish the need for your work. In fact, it amplifies it. Interested in becoming a sponsor of the Shameless Mom Academy? Email our sales team at sales@adalystmedia.com.

Access Valora here and get personalised actions for growth > ‍ The Truth About Coaching Through Imposter Syndrome So many coaches and consultants encounter clients who hold themselves back—not because they lack skills, but because they quietly believe they don't deserve success. ‍ In this episode of The Brilliant Book Festival, I'm joined by Clare Josa, author of Ditching Imposter Syndrome and now her follow-up book: Coaching Imposter Syndrome. ‍ Clare has spent more than two decades helping people break free from imposter syndrome. Now her mission is bigger: to equip coaches, consultants and leaders with safe, practical tools to recognise and respond to imposter syndrome when it shows up in their sessions. ‍ She also reveals the myths still circulating about imposter syndrome, why it's not the same as self-doubt, and how AI might just play a surprising role in helping people feel more confident and capable. ‍ If you've ever wondered how to tell the difference between skills-based self-doubt and deeper identity-level imposter syndrome, this conversation will open your eyes. ‍ Prefer to WATCH? https://www.youtube.com/@melittacampbell ‍‍ ‍ “Imposter syndrome isn't a life sentence. It's something you can spot, understand and clear.” – Clare Josa ‍ Beyond Self-Doubt: Spotting the Real Signs Clare explains that self-doubt is about skills, while imposter syndrome cuts deeper — it's about identity. ‍ Self-doubt sounds like: “I don't know enough, I need more experience.” Imposter syndrome sounds like: “I'm not good enough. They'll find me out.” This distinction matters, because the tools that help with self-doubt often fail when the issue is imposter syndrome. Coaches who miss this can leave clients feeling stuck or even unsafe. ‍ The Myths Holding Us Back In recent years, imposter syndrome has gained visibility, but with that has come misinformation. Clare shares how some dismiss it as: ‍ “Just self-doubt in disguise.” “A construct designed to hold women back.” Her response? Labels aside, what matters is helping people recognise the patterns keeping them small, and giving them tools to move forward. ‍ “Confidence grows fastest when you have the right tools and support at your fingertips.” – Clare Josa ‍ ‍ Practical Tools for Coaches Clare's new book and app provide 26 simple, safe tools coaches can use the moment imposter syndrome gatecrashes a session. These tools help coaches to: ‍ Clear limiting patterns without opening emotional “Pandora's boxes.” Shift their clients mindset fast with confidence and safety. Give coaches clarity on how far to go — and when to signpost deeper support. The goal isn't to turn every coach into an imposter syndrome specialist, but to equip them with the confidence to help clients without overstepping. ‍ ‍ Imposter Syndrome, Introverts and Change Clare also clears up another myth: imposter syndrome doesn't only affect introverts. Both introverts and extroverts experience it, but they cope differently: ‍ Introverts tend to overthink. Extroverts tend to overact. And because imposter syndrome is linked to identity, it often surfaces during times of transition—like stepping into a new role, raising prices, or navigating fast-changing technology. ‍ AI as a Confidence Companion Perhaps most intriguing, Clare has developed Ask Clare AI — an app trained on millions of her own words to give coaches, managers and individuals real-time support between sessions. ‍ It's not designed to replace the coach, but to act as a safe, trauma-informed resource when self-doubt or fear strikes in the moment. ‍ ‍ A Final Thought to Reflect On Coaching through imposter syndrome isn't about fixing clients — it's about helping them reconnect with who they really are. ‍ When coaches can spot the difference between self-doubt and identity-level struggle, and when they have the tools to guide clients safely through those first steps, everyone benefits. ‍ As Clare reminds us, the real goal is bigger than overcoming imposter syndrome. It's about building a world where people feel comfortable in their own skin, confident in their contribution, and free to reach their full potential. ‍ So instead of asking, “How do I help my clients push through self-doubt?” try asking, “How can I give them the tools and confidence to break free from imposter syndrome for good?” ‍ That small shift in perspective can change not just a coaching session, but the whole trajectory of a client's success. ‍ ‍ ‍ About Clare Clare Josa has been a leadership mentor since 2003. She's the author of eight books, including Dare To Dream Bigger and Ditching Imposter Syndrome. She was certified as an NLP Trainer in 2003, and is also a formally-trained Meditation and Yoga Teacher Teacher, a Reformed Engineer and the former Head of Market Research for one of the UK's most disruptive companies.  ‍ Clare has spent more than a decade specialising in empowering passionate world-changers to do the ‘inside work' so that you can get on with making a difference in the world. As co-founder of the EU VAT Action campaign in 2014, she has had to overcome any remaining ‘visibility' fears, to stand on international stages (European Parliament, Downing Street, IoD) in front of people who had been studying what she was giving keynotes on for most of their careers. ‍ She is regularly interviewed by the international press and has been interviewed by numerous radio and TV stations. She is a member of the UK's Institute of Directors and she speaks internationally about how to change the world by changing yourself. ‍ Clare lives in Sussex, in the UK, with her husband, their 3 young boys, a bouncy Jack Russell, a totally loopy springer spaniel, and 10 mindful chickens.  ‍ Read Clare's Books: Ditching Imposter Syndrome ‍‍                                         Coaching Imposter Syndrome.

Most founders quit creating content too early. They get frustrated when posts flop, blame the algorithm, and let ego get in the way. The truth? Building a personal brand takes patience, self-awareness, and the willingness to look bad before you get good.Today, I sit down with Jared Gibson, co-founder of Outworks, to unpack the reality of building on LinkedIn in 2024. From why video content still matters even if reach is down, to how to send DMs that don't make prospects roll their eyes, Jared shares the no-fluff playbook for building trust and winning clients online.We dive into why executives are still scared to get on camera, how thought leader ads really work, and why the comparison game destroys more founders than it helps. Jared also shares what it's like scaling Outworks, hitting plateaus, and pushing through the mental challenges every entrepreneur faces.You'll learn:✅ Why ego is the enemy of building your personal brand✅ How to create content that enters the conversation in your buyer's head✅ Why video is still the fastest way to build trust (even if reach is down)✅ The right way to use DMs without sounding like a spam bot✅ How to survive the inevitable plateaus of entrepreneurshipIf you've been searching “how to build a personal brand on LinkedIn,” “why my LinkedIn content isn't working,” or “authentic LinkedIn strategy for founders,” this episode delivers the raw truth.Connect with JaredGuest LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaredoutworksGuest Website: https://www.outworks.io/ If you are a B2B company that wants to build your own in-house content team instead of outsourcing your content to a marketing agency, we may be a fit for you!

What if the reason your business feels hard… isn't you? In this solo episode of the Raving Coaches podcast, I talk about why building a coaching business solo often feels like climbing a steep hill—and why the right kind of support changes everything. Backed by a study from the Journal of Experimental Psychology, we explore how your perception of difficulty shifts just by having someone climb the hill with you. I get into the difference between having cheerleaders at the bottom of the hill and a coach who's actually walking it with you. Whether you're brand new or feeling stuck mid-climb, this episode is a reminder that the business you're building doesn't have to feel so heavy. Listen in to find out how to choose support that makes the journey lighter—and more effective. Resources mentioned:

Keep it clean and co-creative.One of the reasons why I suggest to some coaches that they not sell coaching sessions is to allow room for a more hybrid type of service that fits the genius of the coach.Having your own knowledge capital can help you attract clients and raise your credibility. Your knowledge adds structure to your offer so you can charge a higher ticket price and get it.Many of my clients who are all trained coaches are also what I call the Teacher Archetype. That's what I am and why I shifted my coaching business to a hybrid model.Have you ever wanted to teach your coaching clients skills, techniques and insights to help them leap over learning curves?Let's explore how to do that ethically.I'd love to hear from you.
