Podcasts about coaching clients

Find the FULL TRANSCRIPT and other resources for coaches at ProsperousCoach.com/373.Not long ago I was among a group of new coaches who were having an interesting discussion about coaching someone who was un-coachable. As the situation was described, I realized the coaching conversation was actually between two friends, not a coach and her client.A friend was having a rough time and the coach, wanting to help, tried to coach her friend through it. It didn't end well.And, they concluded the person was un-coachable.That took me back to an unpleasant memory when I had just graduated from coach training 20+ years ago. Two of my good friends, who were married, were at my house for dinner and they started arguing.Eager to use my coaching skills, I jumped in to coach them. It devolved into losing my friendship for a time. It was a harsh lesson that I clearly needed. And it helped me to understand the ethics of coaching at a deeper level.Are there situations where it's okay to coach without a professional coaching relationship? Let's dig in to that.I'd love to hear from you.

I'm joined by Shirzad Chamine, creator of Positive Intelligence, to explore what it really means to learn in difficult times. We talk about fear-based "saboteur" patterns, why toxic positivity makes things worse, and how negative emotions can be useful signals rather than flaws to suppress. We look at trauma as something all humans experience on a spectrum, how post-traumatic growth actually works, and why compassion must come before reframing. We also explore religion, secular belief systems, technology, political polarisation, and why both faith and rationality get hijacked by fear when we're not paying attention. This is a wide-ranging conversation about learning to lead — ourselves and others — from love rather than fear, especially in a fractured world.

Episode Summary In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive into practical and mindset strategies for attracting high-end coaching clients, building a sustainable and "retirement-proof" coaching business, and the critical importance of identity in business success. Karl reflects on a recent lead generation event, offers a thoughtful breakdown of the viral Alex Hormozi and Tony Robbins interview, and participates in a rapid-fire "word association" game revealing his take on topics like retirement, high-end clients, and self-improvement. The conversation is packed with actionable advice and hard-hitting truths about coaching, growth, mindset, and professional identity. Key Topics Covered Lead Generation & Event Insights Karl recaps a high-performing coaches' lead generation event, where attendees shared actionable methods for generating 100 leads in 90 days. Emphasis on peer experience rather than polished, motivational keynoters—real coaches in the trenches showing their actual tactics. The Power of Identity & Mindset Karl stresses neuroscience-backed wisdom: "You can't change who you are until you change who you think you are." Developing lasting change starts with the stories you repeatedly tell yourself about your abilities as a coach/lead generator. Reflections on Hormozi & Tony Robbins' Interview Vulnerability as a growth tool: Hormozi's openness and willingness to go deep emotionally is highlighted as the real value of the interview. Contrasts top-down (Tony Robbins: mindset, action) vs. bottom-up (addressing trauma, granting yourself permission to pause) coaching approaches. Rapid-Fire Coaching Topics: Word Association Game Karl offers fast, punchy wisdom on topics including "Retirement" (build income, not just net worth), "High-End Clients" (serve by identity and strategic fit), and "Improvement" (compound 1% daily gains). Importance of adapting communication for different clients and recognizing that contentment comes from better problems, not escaping challenges. Notable Quotes "You can't change who you are until you change who you think you are." – Karl Bryan "It's $400 if you buy it, but it's worth $400,000 if you apply it." – Karl Bryan on the value of event insights. "You don't want to retire with net worth—retire with income. The best definition of wealthy: monthly passive income above monthly burn." "High-end clients buy on identity—lower-end buy on utility." "A winner never stops—the losers never start." Actionable Takeaways Focus on Identity Statements: Audit your inner "I am" beliefs. Are you the coach who easily lands clients, or one who struggles? Upgrade your self-story. Train, Don't Just Study: Success is built on 10,000 reps, not 10,000 hours. Put frameworks into daily, repeated action for skill mastery. Seek Better Problems, Not No Problems: Aim to graduate from cash-flow challenges to higher-level issues—staff, strategy, growth. Contentment equals having better business problems. Serve High-End Clients by Speaking to Identity: Market to multi-seven-figure business owners with messaging around identity and aspirational outcomes—less about utility, more about strategic value. Retirement = Income, Not Just Savings: Structure your business life to create recurring income, not just pile up net worth, so you can endure longer and avoid "running out the clock." Build Proof Before Sales Prowess: If confidence is lacking, rack up small wins (even pro bono) to fill your mental "trophy room" and solidify your coaching certainty. Allow Yourself to Pause: Permission to step back doesn't mean quitting—strategic pauses are sometimes necessary before returning to the fray. "Don't quit. Pause."

If your life looks “fine” on paper, but you're exhausted, behind, and constantly pushing through -- this episode is for you. I'm sharing three things my coaching clients do differently that create real work-life balance, without more systems or pressure. These aren't magic fixes, but they do change how you show up at work and at home. What You'll Learn:Why pushing through your thoughts and feelings is actually slowing you down and how learning to process them creates relief instead of more overwhelmHow my clients learn to work with their brain (especially ADHD and neurodivergent brains) instead of forcing strategies that were never designed for themHow to spend your time intentionally -- even when time feels scarce -- so it supports your life instead of draining itHow these shifts create more clarity, energy, and control without requiring you to do moreIf This Resonates…If you're nodding along thinking, “Yep… this is me,” I'd love to support you. You don't need another planner or productivity system...you need support that actually fits your brain and your life. You're welcome to book a free consult to ask questions, talk things through, or explore what coaching could look like for you.Resources & Links:

In this episode of Life Equals Choices, Choices Equal Life, Kim Olver shares the single, powerful question she asks every coaching client—and why it reveals more than any intake form ever could. Drawing on decades of experience as a coach, counselor, and creator of the Mental Freedom® process, Kim explores how this question quickly uncovers whether a client is taking responsibility for their life or outsourcing it to circumstances, relationships, or other people.This episode dives into one of the most common coaching challenges Kim sees: clients who want change but unknowingly give away their power by waiting for others to behave differently. Kim explains how responsibility, response-ability, and choice are foundational to effective coaching and meaningful personal growth. Through real-world examples and practical insight, she shows how this question helps clients move out of victimizing language, reclaim agency, and begin creating the peace, clarity, and fulfillment they're seeking.Whether you're a coach, therapist, leader, or someone interested in personal development, this episode offers a clear lens for understanding responsibility, boundaries, and the difference between change that feels good and change that actually lasts.

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.

So welcome to It's Not Rocket Science. Five questions over coffee. I'm here with Kyle Bentley Beltly. Sorry, I'm gonna, I'm gonna get that wrong. Kyle. Apologies. Kyle Beltley.Stuart Webb [00:00:22]:Kyle is the owner of ProActive CPA. Kyle is going to talk to us about some really interesting things about how we manage our finances, manage tax, etc. Carl, welcome to It's Not Rocket Science. Five questions over coffee. I hope you've got your coffee in front of you today.Kyle Beltle [00:00:38]:Ready to go.Stuart Webb [00:00:39]:Terrific mug, terrific mug. Let's, let's talk briefly about how you're, who is, who is the person you're trying to help? What's the problem they've got? So that we can sort of, as we were listening to you describe this, we begin to get a sense of is this me that Kyle is talking about?Kyle Beltle [00:01:00]:Sure, sure. So my clients are professional coaches and consultants running businesses that are generating high six figures of sales and they're people who are looking to buy back their time. I would say that the primary issue that people come to me with and I help them solve, it's kind of a twofold. It's first off, it's what I like to call tax fomo, fear of missing out, and it's analysis paralysis. So with the tax fomo, we are inundated with social media posts on tax tips, our neighbors giving us tax tips, our crazy uncle at the family dinner is giving us. And there's this fear that I'm missing out on these deductions that everybody else knows about. But where do I even, where do I even get started? You know, this, this analysis paralysis. And a great example of this is I just started working with a client there and as we were getting ready for our kickoff meeting, he said, I hope you don't mind, I just jotted down a few thoughts.Kyle Beltle [00:02:10]:Well, so Stewart, this guy had composed this entire Google Doc of just all the things that he'd been coming across. And you know, does this apply to me? Where do I start? And so what I do with my clients is distill all that into a crystal clear tax strategy plan for them where they know, a, this applies to me, B, this is how to take advantage of it, and C, here's the savings I'm going to get from it.Stuart Webb [00:02:38]:So let's just, let's try and explore a little bit then on what are the things. I mean, that guy obviously had ideas about what he wanted to do, the problems that he knew had. He Tried anything. What were the things he tried to do to overcome this problem before turning to Kyle and say, carl, can you help me?Kyle Beltle [00:02:57]:So fortunately he hadn't tried anything and sadly that's not always the case. I had a client, I'll call Ian, who just started working with me the beginning of this year and he had heard, real estate's a great investment. I'm going to get into real estate. And he ended up purchasing a rental house that was out of state. So now he's preparing a multi state return and he has to set up a rental property. He was using an over the counter online tax product there. And you know the saying, garbage in, garbage out. Well, the data that he was putting into the software was not correct.Kyle Beltle [00:03:47]:He ended up missing out on a lot of deductions around that rental property. And so when we first started working together this year, I went back, took a look under the hood of the return last year and was able to help him get that rental property set up properly. And the savings, the actual tax savings that he experienced as a result of that were twice what I was charging him there. And so, you know, I have a colleague, Rajo Jose, who likes to say premium guidance cost a lot less than premium mistakes. And so certainly don't, don't try to DIY things when you're working with a complex tax situation.Stuart Webb [00:04:39]:I'm going to have to agree with you, Carla. I know one of the early lessons I was taught when I was a very young business owner was people forget the price long after they've forgotten the lack of quality, so long after they've remembered the lack of quality. So you know, the, the problem that we all try and think of is this may or may not take me a lot of time, but you're not dealing with, you're not dealing with something which, which is, you know, so much time based, are you? Although they are paying for your time, they're paying for the years of experience which you bought into the, you've used as your education and your experience in order to come back and go, this is how much it's valid, the value is to you. This is not about me taking 15 minutes over this. This is 15 years of my life that's taught me how to do this for you.Kyle Beltle [00:05:25]:100%. 100%. And that's not even mentioning the time that they would need to take away from their core business.Stuart Webb [00:05:33]:Absolutely.Kyle Beltle [00:05:34]:To try to learn this or to even, even to execute it.Stuart Webb [00:05:38]:Absolutely. So I think, Carl, you've been very kind to the audience. You have Got a giveaway. And this will be something which is in the vault that we have, which is the systemized me free stuff. So describe what this is, a PDF, I think, which is going to be a great asset to a lot of people. Tell us what's in this PDF and how it benefit them.Kyle Beltle [00:06:04]:So, as I said at the top, one of the issues that so many of my prospects and so many of my clients come to me with is just saying, where do I even begin? So I put together a handout here of my six favorite tax strategies that most people can take advantage of. And so I would download that there and take it with you next time you're meeting with your tax professional to see which one of these can we put into play to maximize my savings.Stuart Webb [00:06:34]:And I would, I'd hate to, to prejudice this, but if somebody comes along and finds they're only using five of the six, they may need to have a word with you anyway.Kyle Beltle [00:06:43]:Yes, absolutely, absolutely.Stuart Webb [00:06:46]:Okay, terrific. That's a brilliant. And I, I'll just repeat, if you go to systemize me free hyphen stuff, you will find that immediately. You can go and download that now and go get that from, from that vault and, and you will be able to get hold of Kyle's top six strategies. Have a feeling he may have more than six in his bank. But that's, that's the top.Kyle Beltle [00:07:09]:There may be a bonus. There may be a bonus one.Stuart Webb [00:07:12]:I love it. I love it. I love it. Kyle, tell us a little bit. You know, how did you become the, the expert that you are on tax? This doesn't happen overnight. It certainly doesn't happen unless you, you set out intentionally to understand these things.Kyle Beltle [00:07:28]:Yeah.Stuart Webb [00:07:28]:Is there a book, a course or something like that that took you to this, this place? That's.Kyle Beltle [00:07:34]:That is a great question, Stuart. And I love when you ask your guests this because you're always, always finding great books, great programs through this, and I've read a lot of books over the years and just trying to think distill it down to one. Ah, it's really tough. But if I had to choose, I would say that the most impactful program in my life has been Earl Nightingale's the Strangest Secret. Are you familiar with it by any chance?Stuart Webb [00:08:05]:It's not one I know. It's not one I know.Kyle Beltle [00:08:08]:So I encourage everyone out there, go look it up on YouTube. The strangest secret. It's originally, I believe it was a radio broadcast that Earl gave. It's only about 30 minutes. It's very concise. Very to the point. And spoiler alert. The strangest secret is that we become what we think about most of the time.Kyle Beltle [00:08:34]:Oh, and, you know, certainly that is by, you know, no means new to any of your listeners, I'm sure. But for me, I came across this early in my career. It was one of the first times I was really ever exposed to the power of being intentional with your thoughts and setting goals there. And so even to this day, I still find it as a great reset any. Anytime I'm stuck to listen to Earl Nightingale's the Strangest Secret.Stuart Webb [00:09:06]:That is a great, great tip, Carl. I thank you for that one because you're absolutely right. Too often we are, we're not intentional with our businesses, are we? We are distracted. I often see business owners, and I deal with business owners most of my day, and I find myself saying, well, why are you doing it that way? And the answer is sometimes it's sort of like, well, I just can't stop thinking about this. And unfortunately you go, well, you're missing out on a bunch of other things which actually you should be focused on and this should not be even in your thing. So you, you tend to end up doing it because you've just got locked in a cycle of focus that is the wrong one. And to switch the focus to what you should be focused on is much more important.Kyle Beltle [00:09:53]:Yeah. If you're just reacting to the latest email, the latest text message that comes across your inbox there. Yeah, you're absolutely right. You're going to get stuck in a cycle that is not productive and not product. You know, really building up your business to the best that it can be.Stuart Webb [00:10:12]:And this is where you have to start thinking a little bit about, like the, the future of your business by focus on those tax strategies which actually enable you to free up the cash, free up the investment that you might need in order to move the business forward.Kyle Beltle [00:10:26]:Yeah, yeah, absolutely. May feel like you're taking some time, some invaluable time out of your schedule to invest one, two, maybe even three hours to sit down with your tax pro and really map out the upcoming year, what you can take advantage of, what you can't. But the clarity that I have seen that give to my clients is worth its weight in gold and more than comes back to them in time savings.Stuart Webb [00:10:57]:Yeah, I'm gonna, I'll tell a small story here. It's one that's rather specific to the. But I came across a business just recently. The business had hit a real problem. They had a real cash flow problem. And I sort of said, what's the real reason for the cash flow problem? Wasn't very obvious from the discussion. They went, we forgot a VAT bill, value added tax bill. We forgot this tax bill was coming in.Stuart Webb [00:11:20]:We completely missed swiped our cash flow. We're now in deep trouble because we had no idea that it was coming in. And I looked at them and I basically said these bills are paid once every quarter. It's like Christmas. It's going to be on the same day, same time every year. What happened? We didn't have a plan. A one or two hour meeting with an attacked professional to just work out where that was would have solved a whole heap of problems for that business.Kyle Beltle [00:11:52]:Yeah, absolutely, absolutely not. Not to mention just the fact that they could have set up a very simple system to, to remind them about that or to automate it there.Stuart Webb [00:12:04]:Yeah, absolutely brilliant, Kyle, I guess we're getting towards the end of this and I'm going to let you go so you can get back to helping other tax professional people get their taxes in order. Professionals get their taxes in order. Carl, there must be a question that you're thinking, well, he still hasn't asked me the real killer one and obviously I might, I might think of it and probably I'm not going to because I'm a person of very little brain. So what's the one question that I should by now have asked you? And as you know what that question is, you better answer it for us as well.Kyle Beltle [00:12:38]:Yeah, absolutely. Well, one of the questions that I was waiting for was what is one tax strategy in particular that could be a quick win for someone today?Stuart Webb [00:12:50]:I am so glad I didn't ask that question because that is such a good question.Kyle Beltle [00:12:55]:And I got to tell you, Stuart, I'll preface this, I know this, this answer, it's not exciting, it's not revolutionary here, but it is, it truly is powerful. And that is for the listeners here in the US to max out your 401k retirement plan there. Now most people, Stewart, very familiar with having some money taken out of their, their paychecks there to put in the 401k and that's great and that everyone should be doing that. However, I'm always surprised that more business owners don't know about the profit sharing options that most for 1k plans have. And the reason that the profit sharing is so powerful, Stuart, is that it is money that the business elects to put into their employees 401k plans. And it's powerful because if the owner owns a company that's taxed as an S corp here in the US that owner will be on payroll and they'll be able to put additional money into their personal 401 while the business gets a tax deduction for it. It's also a great way for employers to reward their employees by giving them a little bit of a bonus that they don't have to pay payroll taxes on. The employees don't have to pay income taxes on there.Kyle Beltle [00:14:26]:So using the profit sharing component of your 401k to really max it out is a very powerful tax strategy that a lot of businesses will will be able to implement this year and get a quick win.Stuart Webb [00:14:40]:Carl, it will not surprise you to learn that is not a strategy that is just related to the US that is also many other countries. Optimizing and maximizing the amount of money you put into a pension is often the best way of saving tax for the business, but also, as you just said, allowing the employee, even if the employee is the chief executive, to get ready for a time when they need to step away from the business anyway and have still got the money coming in that they should have.Kyle Beltle [00:15:11]:Yeah, absolutely, Stuart. You know, as I said, it's not a particularly exciting strategy, but it's, it's been my experience as a professional that oftentimes it's the simple disciplines.Stuart Webb [00:15:23]:Yeah.Kyle Beltle [00:15:23]:Simple steps that we repeat day after day within our businesses that in the long run provide the biggest wins for us.Stuart Webb [00:15:32]:Kyle, that is a great message to end on because I think it is a universal truth. Business is actually really simple. If you boil it down, it's about making a customer and keeping that customer happy. And hey, what could you do better than doing that with your employees by giving them tax breaks and money for when they retire as well. Absolutely brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Kyle, thank you so much for spending a few minutes.Kyle Beltle [00:15:56]:Thank you, Stuart. It's been a blast.Stuart Webb [00:15:58]:I'm. I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna encourage people.

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.

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.
