What does it really mean to be a financial coach in integrity with what we do? This week on the podcast, we're tackling this head-on, talking about the realities behind what's often seen but seldom spoken about. It's the challenges behind coaches coaching coaches (say that three times fast!) and staying in integrity with how we market ourselves and being open and transparent with clients.In this episode, you'll hear some real-life examples of the vulnerable (and the ick) when it comes to coaches coaching coaches and I hope you hear my invitation to really think about your own role as a financial coach. How do you balance ambition with honesty? How do you navigate the complexities of scaling a business while staying true to your mission? These are just a few of the ideas you'll hear, as well as my own answers to these questions.So, if you're curious about what it really takes to uphold integrity in financial coaching, if you're looking to find a balance between your financial acumen and your coaching spirit, or if you're simply seeking a heart-centered approach to this profession, this episode is for you.Tune in to discover insights that could redefine your approach to financial coaching. Trust me, you don't want to miss this one!Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupKey Takeaways:Don't be afraid to step outside your comfort zone, but never step outside your integrity zone - the distinction between growth and compromise matters more than you think.The coaches coaching coaches industry often becomes a pyramid where the only six-figure business they've built is teaching others to build the business they never actually built themselves.Ask this critical question before hiring any business coach: Have they succeeded at the actual thing they're teaching, or only at teaching it?Over-promising is the supplement industry of coaching - claiming your program cures everything while delivering results you can't control.Two sides make financial coaches powerful: the dreamer who believes in potential and the realist who sees the hard work required.The life coaching pyramid targets you as the easier sale - coaches buy faster than real clients because hope sells better than results.Truth in marketing means being honest about what you haven't achieved, not just highlighting what you have - transparency builds more trust than hype ever will.

Ich spreche offen über meine ADHS-Diagnose, was sich dadurch verändert hat und wie ich heute damit umgehe. Wir reden über die Antibabypille, das Thema „Periode zurückbekommen“ und was mein Körper heute braucht. Außerdem geht's um Selbstständigkeit mit Druck, finanzielle Engpässe, meine langfristigen Lebensziele – und welchen Social-Media-Trend ich aktuell wirklich nicht mehr sehen kann. Eine Folge voller Tiefgang, ehrlicher Antworten und kleiner Anekdoten aus meinem Alltag – ganz so, wie ihr es von mir kennt ✨ Hier findest du weitere Infos zu meinem 1:1 Coaching (Mindset x Kraft x Ausdauer x Yoga) ↓ https://www.levelupbymichelle.com Mein Instagramaccount: https://www.instagram.com/levelupbymichelle?igsh=MW5idGN4MGRrM29sZA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr

Ever tried to talk a client out of a risky decision? Found yourself pushing harder when they won't listen to your advice? If you've ever felt your stomach drop when a client chose the path you knew was wrong, this episode is for you.Here's the uncomfortable truth: when we try to control our clients' choices, it's usually not about them. It's about us. Our insecurity that their mistakes will reflect badly on our coaching. Our arrogance in thinking we can predict the future and know what's best for everyone.But here's what I learned after years of doing this: trying to shelter clients from consequences actually slows down their growth. The very skills they came to us for - making intentional, informed decisions and learning to pivot when things go sideways - only develop when they experience real world outcomes, both good and bad.In this episode, I share the mindset shift that changed everything for me. My job isn't to be right or protect clients from ever feeling regret. It's to help them become more resourceful and confident in their ability to respond when life throws them a curve ball.You'll hear the exact approach I use when clients insist on strategies I think are risky. How to create extreme clarity by mapping out best case, worst case, and most likely scenarios. The questions that illuminate financial, emotional, and logistical impacts without fear mongering. And how to help clients build contingency plans that make risky moves safer.This isn't about becoming a yes-person who just smiles and nods. It's about the difference between coaching and controlling. Between building resilient clients and making their success about your ego.Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupKey Takeaways:Your need to control client decisions isn't about protecting them - it's about protecting your ego from their potential mistakes.Real progress happens when clients learn to make intentional decisions and pivot when needed, not when they follow your blueprint perfectly.Stop robbing clients of consequences because that's exactly what they need to build the skills they came to you for.When a client wants to take a risky path: Map out best case, worst case, and most likely scenarios - then let them choose with eyes wide open.Ask yourself: Am I making their success about my comfort or their growth?The goal isn't for clients to make the same decision you would - it's for them to make clear, confident decisions they can handle.Ethical coaching means walking beside clients with your eyes open and theirs, not telling them which direction to go.

Have you ever met someone in person after following their content and thought, “Wow, they're exactly who I thought they'd be”? That's the power of authenticity, and it's what your clients are looking for too.Today we're talking about something I see happening a lot in our profession—coaches trying to sound like someone else instead of developing their own voice. I'll share why this matters more than you think, where the line is between inspiration and copying, and how to create content that sounds like you.I'll also share something else I've been ruminating on for the last year or so: We've somehow lost the art of giving credit where it's due. There used to be blog circles where content creators would openly build on each other's ideas, linking back and adding their own perspectives. But somewhere along the way, we stopped doing this.Here's what I know for sure: Your clients don't expect you to generate every idea in isolation. They want to work with someone real; someone who speaks their truth, shares their experiences, and isn't afraid to acknowledge where their inspiration comes from.I'll walk you through practical ways to develop your authentic voice, including how to start with real conversations instead of other people's content, and why your vulnerability creates connection in ways that polished, generic content never will.Plus, I'll share why I took a three-month content consumption break and how it helped me find my voice again. Sometimes the most distinctive coaches consume less content from their direct competitors and find inspiration elsewhere entirely.This conversation will help you show up as yourself in your business, which truly is your greatest asset as a coach.Listen in to discover how authenticity isn't just about integrity; it's about building a sustainable business that attracts the right clients and creates meaningful transformations.Links & Resources:Financial Coach Academy Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupKey Takeaways:Your clients hire you for your perspective, not your ability to sound like someone else. They can sense when something feels off even if they can't put their finger on it.Start with conversations you've actually had with clients or friends instead of starting with other people's content; real questions create real connections.Giving credit doesn't diminish your authority—it actually shows you're engaged with your field and humble enough to acknowledge others.The most distinctive coaches often consume less content from their direct competitors and find inspiration from psychology, behavioral economics, or leadership development instead.If you have to ask yourself “would I be comfortable if someone changed my content this way?” then the simplest solution is to give credit.Your vulnerability creates connection in ways that polished, generic content never will; share your money mistakes, lessons, and turning points.Content creation becomes easier and more enjoyable when you're drawing from your own well of experience rather than trying to maintain someone else's voice.

New online health business making less than $5k per month? Go here: https://go.healthpreneurtraining.com/starting-roadmap Ready to SCALE your online health business? Go here:  https://healthpreneurgroup.com/youtubeIf you're stuck at $10K/month and wondering why you can't seem to break through…This episode is for you.Because here's the truth most coaches don't want to hear:You don't get what you want.You get what you tolerate.If your standards are low, your income will reflect that.And if you don't believe you're worth more, you'll keep sabotaging every time growth starts to happen.This isn't about marketing tactics or “working harder.”This is about your identity.Your beliefs.Your standards.In this episode, I'm walking you through why your mindset—not your model—is the real ceiling on your business.You'll learn:

I used to lose sleep before coaching sessions where I knew I had to deliver tough news. If I saw someone's finances and they were way over budget every month, I felt like, oh my gosh, I'm going to have to be the messenger of terrible news. What are they going to think? How are they going to react?Today we're talking about those conversations that make your stomach tighten—the ones many coaches want to avoid because they think their client will be unhappy or uncomfortable. But when we avoid these conversations, problems compound, resentment builds, and most importantly, we fail to serve our clients with the honesty they deserve.We'll cover the specific language that transforms these dreaded moments into opportunities for deeper connection. Instead of saying “at this rate, it will take you 13 years to pay off your debt,” you'll learn how a simple reframe can shift everything. Plus, I'll share how asking clients to rate their financial health on a scale of one to ten changed my entire approach to difficult conversations.Whether it's discussing negative cash flow, addressing spending habits that don't align with goals, or talking about business finances that aren't working, you'll get concrete phrases and questions that create openness instead of defensiveness. We'll also talk about what happens when clients get emotional (because money is emotional) and how to handle those vulnerable moments in ways that deepen trust rather than damage it.If you've ever felt uncomfortable having to tell a client something they don't want to hear, this episode gives you the tools to approach these conversations with confidence. Because the truth is, delivering tough news with care is one of the most valuable services we provide as financial coaches.Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupEpisode 27: The Stages of Learning for Financial CoachesKey Takeaways:Preparation beats panic: Practice what you'll say before tough conversations, because delivering bad news with care is one of the most valuable services you provide as a coach.Questions starting with “why” create defensiveness, but “what” and “how” create openness. Choose your question words carefully to unlock client insights.“You should have” focuses on a past that can't be changed, while “Let's explore what's working” builds on strengths that already exist.Emotional moments aren't interruptions to coaching. They're opportunities to create profound trust by staying present without trying to fix or change the feelings.Ask clients to rate their financial health 1-10 before delivering tough news; often they already know something's wrong and just don't want to face it alone.Every problematic financial habit began as an attempt to meet a legitimate need. Acknowledge this and clients feel seen rather than judged.Your comfort with client emotions directly impacts your effectiveness as a coach; when you can hold space for tears without rushing to solutions, real transformation begins.

As coaches we work so hard to support others that we can often forget how important it is to take care of ourselves too. But, as Cindy Tisdale-McPhee said on a very early episode of the podcast, for coaches to be present for others, they must take care of themselves first. This is a special #coachbetter collaborative episode with Kim Cofino and Diana Beabout because both of them have had an extra challenging year, and when they were chatting about how they've managed being at max capacity all year, they realized that some of our strategies might be helpful for you too!

Many coaches think they need to be everywhere on social media, posting constantly and hoping their ideal clients will find them. But there's a problem with putting all your eggs in the social media basket: social media in 2025 is not the same social media from 10 years ago. And that means that growing a business on social media is leaving too much to chance.This week, we're talking about why email marketing matters more than ever for financial coaches (and, honestly, any business). You'll hear why your social media following isn't really yours and how one of the contractors in my business lost her entire Facebook account overnight. We'll also cover the six strategies that actually work for growing your email list, including the one approach that we often see coaches completely overlook.If you've been wondering how to get people to actually sign up for your list, or why your current strategy isn't working, this episode breaks down exactly what you need to know. From creating lead magnets that people actually want to understanding the psychology of what makes someone open your emails week after week.Plus, I'll share the biggest mistake coaches make with their email lists and the simple fix that can change everything. Whether you're just starting to build your list or looking to breathe new life into an existing one, you'll walk away with practical steps you can implement right away.Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupEpisode 93: Client Conversations with Nora SudduthEpisode 94: Build Trust to Attract Financial Coaching ClientsKey Takeaways:Your social media following is rented space, but your email list is property you actually own—and no algorithm change can take it away from you.Nobody wants another newsletter in their overflowing inbox. They want solutions to their problems, so lead with value, not volume.Email marketing delivers $35 for every $1 spent, while social media posts disappear into the void. That's why email is the foundation of a sustainable coaching business.The best lead magnet creates an immediate win: don't give them 17 steps to transformation, give them one thing they can implement today and see results.Stop asking, “Will you join my newsletter?” and start saying, “I have a resource that helps with exactly what you just mentioned. Can I send it to you?”Financial coaching requires nuance and depth that a social post can't deliver, but an email creates the private space people need to engage with sensitive money topics.The most important email strategy isn't how often you send or what day you choose; it's consistency and value in every single message that hits their inbox.

Have you ever wondered what truly makes a great coach not just in the session, but in the moments before and after? In this second episode of our mini-series here on The Coaching Hub podcast, I take you deeper into one of my all-time favourite topics: the coaching mindset (the ICF competency 2) What do we as coaches need to cultivate ‘outside' of our sessions so we can show up fully present and open for our clients? I'm sharing practical ways to foster ongoing self-awareness, curiosity, and emotional regulation, along with why lifelong learning (and even a little dance or meditation before a session!) is key to our evolution as coaches. Join me to explore how embodying a coaching mindset shapes not only our work but also the way we approach life.Here are the Highlights:00:00 Introduction01:02 What do we need to do outside coaching sessions?06:05 Supervision is a reflective space to look at coaching through different lenses09:24 Be present, seek outside support and embody a coaching mindset for deeper relationships and effective coaching.About Ruth Kudzi:Ruth is the founder of Optimus Coaching Academy and a well respected and successful coach, speaker and author who has worked across sectors including leadership, career and more recently business and mindset.

Starting a new career can be a challenge. In many instances, we have the opportunity to learn from a mentor or manager who can guide us in the right direction. And while I serve as a mentor for financial coaches, few have actually experienced or witnessed a financial coaching session. So I was thrilled when a member of our online community agreed to allow me to record a coaching session as I coached her around a financial decision she was trying to make. See, she had asked for input from our online community but received so many different responses she was actually further from a decision than before.I hope you'll tune in to this bonus episode and hear how we walk through Lydia's decision. I share a bit of what pre-work I did before the session and why I approached the session like I did. Please pardon the audio quality; this is the first of what I hope to be a number of examples of what a coaching session looks like in real time.Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupKey Takeaways:The clarity required to make a confident financial decision comes not from avoiding the worst-case scenario, but from being fully prepared for it.When facing a major financial choice, ask yourself: Am I making this decision from a place of fear or from a place of purpose-driven growth?True financial courage isn't eliminating all risk—it's understanding exactly what you're risking and deciding it's worth the potential gain.Your relationship with money reveals itself most clearly when you articulate what you believe you'll gain from spending it.Indecision is exhausting; a clear “no” is often more empowering than a perpetual “maybe.”Financial coaching isn't about telling someone what's mathematically optimal; it's about guiding them to clarity through their own values and circumstances.The next time you're stuck in financial uncertainty, remember: The decision isn't the point. The process is the point.

Are you wrapping up clients' final sessions with an awkward “goodbye and good luck”? You might be missing the biggest opportunity in your coaching business.We continue our series on delighting clients this week by focusing on what happens after their formal program ends. Financial wellness isn't a destination—it's a lifelong journey with new challenges at every stage. By maintaining meaningful relationships with past clients, you create both ongoing value for them and sustainable growth for your practice.Think about it: your past clients already know your value. They've experienced the transformation you provide firsthand. When you create intentional ways to stay connected, these relationships become the foundation of a thriving, sustainable business where you're not constantly chasing new leads.In this episode, we break down the three essential components of a great off-boarding process: the celebration session that highlights client progress, documenting their journey as a touchstone they can return to, and providing a success toolkit that equips them for continued growth on their own.We also explore two proven models for ongoing support. The periodic coaching program offers flexible check-ins that evolve as clients progress—starting monthly, then quarterly, and eventually semi-annual—focusing on strategic planning rather than budgeting basics. For some practices, a community membership program creates connections between clients on similar journeys.Beyond these formal touch points, we share practical ways to stay meaningfully connected through your connection calendar and regular communication that feels personal, not promotional.The most powerful outcome of these strategies? A natural referral culture where clients enthusiastically share their experience with others. Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupGet your Client Journey RoadmapKey Takeaways:The celebration session transforms a final meeting into a powerful launch pad for clients' independent success by highlighting their growth journey and newfound skills.Document your clients' progress throughout the coaching relationship—it becomes their touchstone during future financial challenges when you're not there.Periodic coaching evolves with your clients' needs: monthly → quarterly → semi-annual, focusing less on budgeting mechanics and more on being their strategic thinking partner.Your clients don't stop needing guidance after their program. Rather, they need different guidance as new life stages bring fresh financial challenges they've never navigated before.To increase your referral rate, stop asking for referrals and start creating client experiences so transformative they naturally want to share you with others.The most meaningful client communications aren't about your business news. They address the specific financial concerns of people already managing money well.Financial stability in your coaching business starts with client relationship stability; when past clients become your marketing department, algorithm changes can't touch your growth.

It can often feel easier to be an expert (or a consultant) than it is to coach. Whether it's building peer coaching skills among a full faculty, or inside The Coach with educators who are learning to be instructional coaches, or in workshops with teachers who are just learning about coaching, we all feel very comfortable in the consultancy dynamic. We're familiar with the concept of mentoring or giving advice, and it's easy to think that coaching is the same thing. This #coachbetter episode is about embracing your curiosity as an instructional coach - and letting go of feeling like you need to be an expert. Find the show notes for this episode here.

Are you caught checking client emails on family movie night or waking up at 3 a.m. worried you forgot to send that follow-up? Your love for financial coaching might be getting buried under a mountain of admin tasks.As coaches, we're drawn to this work because we want to help people transform their relationship with money. But the reality is that running a business involves so much more than just coaching sessions. There's follow-ups, reminders, contracts, payments, forms, and dozens of other little tasks that can quickly overwhelm you.The good news? You don't need to figure this all out on day one. When you're just starting out, keeping things simple is actually better. Don't let tech distract you from what will truly move the needle in your business: talking with people, marketing, and focusing on getting results for your clients.But as your coaching practice grows, you'll start to notice the warning signs that it's time to level up your systems. Maybe you feel anxious that you're forgetting important client details. Perhaps you've caught yourself missing emails or deadlines because the small tasks are falling through the cracks. Or you might find yourself constantly pulled away from family time because you suddenly remembered something urgent you forgot to do for a client.In this week's episode, I walk through the essential tech tools that can transform how your business runs, when exactly to add each one, and how much they really cost. I'll also share why I don't recommend the all-in-one options that initially seem so appealing (and why I'm grateful they weren't available when I started).Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupKey Takeaways:Start with just a scheduling software. Everything else can wait until you actually need it, so you can focus on what moves the needle: talking to people and getting results.Feeling anxious about forgetting client details? That's not just stress—it's your business telling you it's time for better systems.Don't put all your tech eggs in one basket; separate tools that communicate with each other provide better service and less risk than all-in-one platforms.Your business deserves proper tools—$47-67 monthly for professional systems is a small price to pay for hours saved and stress avoided.Systems are about organization creating the mental space to actually enjoy coaching again instead of drowning in admin tasks.When family time gets interrupted because you suddenly remembered a client task, it's not a work ethic problem; it's a systems problem.The right tech tools don't just make your life easier, they will transform your client experience from “she seems disorganized” to “wow, she's incredibly professional.”

This #coacbetter episode is about the importance of intentional and structured conversations. This is a highlight from one of Kim's favorite episodes from a previous season, featuring Michele Mattoon, Executive Director of the National School Reform Faculty. Recently as part of one of AAICIS Leaders Speaker Series we had Jennifer Abrams share with our community about Stretching Your Learning Edges (Jennifer has also been a guest on the podcast if you want to check out that episode), and as she said on the podcast, Jennifer highlighted how as educators we are not trained in having conversations with other adults. Having intentional and structured conversations, through the use of protocols, can really help us navigate difficult and challenging topics that, as Michele says, sometimes need “guardrails”. Because instructional coaches work with so many different stakeholders, with so many different perspectives, experiences and opinions, it's so important for us to know how to structure conversation for productive discourse and dialogue. Protocols are one way we can do that. If protocols are new to you, make sure to check out the full episode with Michele. Once you start using protocols in your professional learning, and group conversations, you won't go back.  Find the show notes for this episode here.

Send us a textAre you giving endless advice that nobody seems to take? You might be unintentionally creating the very bottleneck that's preventing your clients from achieving real transformation.This episode tackles one of the most common challenges faced by coaches and leaders today – the tendency to over-solve problems for others. We explore the powerful distinction between providing answers and guiding people to discover their own solutions, a difference that separates truly effective coaches from those who inadvertently create dependency.We unpack three key reasons why coaches fall into the problem-solving trap: equating giving answers with being helpful, feeling overly responsible for client success, and fearing that questions alone won't be enough to create results. At the heart of these concerns lies a fundamental misunderstanding about what coaching truly is – not rescuing, but empowering through skilled guidance.The mindset shift we propose is deceptively simple yet profoundly impactful: great coaches don't give people fish; they teach them how to fish through transformational questions. When you ask "What do you think will work best?" or "What's the real challenge here for you?" instead of jumping in with solutions, you activate your client's innate problem-solving abilities and create space for genuine breakthroughs to emerge.Ready to transform your coaching approach?

This #coachbetter episode is another in our series of coaching case studies, with one of Kim's amazing clients, Jen Kagohara, ES Tech & Design Coach, Taipei American School, Taiwan. Jen is a graduate of The Coach Certificate & Mentorship Program and when we recorded this episode she had just finished the program. These case study episodes are designed to share the story of a coach, and the development of their coaching program and practice in their unique setting.  We're so excited to share this episode with Jen with you because Jen has had many experiences that are shared by lots of the clients Kim works with. She's relatively new to her school, which has hired coaches, but doesn't yet have a coaching culture. Many coaches that Kim works with are in this exact same situation - in fact we have several other podcast episodes about this very topic, one is episode 70: 5 Steps to Move from “Having Coaches” to “a Coaching Culture”). Wherever you are in the process at your school, it's always valuable to hear what this looks like in different school contexts. In this conversation they talk about ... What coaching looks like in her school right now What makes coaching work and what are some challenges Jen's growth as a coach throughout The Coach Certificate & Mentorship Program Her big aha moments as a new coach What she's planning for next in terms of her professional growth What she wishes she knew before she started coaching Her recommendations for new and aspiring coaches Find the show notes for this episode here.

They talk about the mindset that made her a champion, how her parents shaped her confidence, and what it really takes to lead with heart.

In this #coachbetter episode, Kim introduces the domains of a coaching mindset. Did you know that the number one indicator of student success is collective efficacy? (Donohoo, 2017). Research shows that when we believe in one another, student learning improves.  How we can improve our collective efficacy through the lens of coaching – without hiring an instructional coach or a formal coaching program? Because we all want to improve student learning. And we all can benefit from coaching. But not every school has the capacity or finances to build an instructional coaching program. And the great news is, you don't have to have a formal coaching program to do it. All you need to get started is a coaching mindset. And every single person (students included) can work towards cultivating a coaching mindset.

You know that sneaky trap called the “excellence zone”? It's those tasks you're pretty good at, maybe even enjoy a little? For me, it was organizing client financials into spreadsheets and setting up systems. The trap is that because you're good at it, it's easy to keep doing it yourself. Even when it's time to let it go.But every minute you spend there is a minute you're not spending in your true zone of genius. That's the sweet spot where you're making the impact you wanted to make when you first went into business.This week, I'm sharing what happens in these two zones after you hire your first team member. And it might not be what you think. I learned the hard way that trying to train my first hire while maintaining my full client load was like trying to build a house while also running a marathon. Something's got to give.I'll walk you through our practical seven-step training process that takes more time up front but means you're catching fewer errors on the back end and putting out a lot fewer fires later. You'll learn why blocking off 20% of your client hours during training is actually an investment in an amazing new team member, not a loss of time or revenue.Some of our biggest leaps forward at Fiscal Fitness, my own coaching practice, happened after I learned to let go and trust my team. Now imagine if all your time was spent just coaching clients. How would that feel? That is possible for you, and I'll show you how to get there step by step.Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupKey Takeaways:Hiring your first support person might actually be harder than launching your business because you're learning a completely new skill set while still running everything.Your “excellence zone” is a sneaky trap. Those tasks you're good at keep you from your true zone of genius where your business actually grows.Create a “rainy day project” for your new hire. They need productive work when waiting for your input, not just idle time.Before bringing someone on, set up a growth fund. Small savings now will cushion the temporary revenue dip later.Scheduled check-ins work better than constant availability. Try 9 a.m., noon, and 4 p.m. meetings instead of answering questions all day.Let them teach it back to you. When they demonstrate what they've learned, you'll see what they've truly absorbed.Trust unlocks growth. Some of your biggest business leaps will happen only after you learn to let go and truly trust your team.

This #coachbetter episode is a case study conversation with two amazing educators: EAL (English as an Additional Language) Teacher Lindsay Manzella and INS Teacher John Stephany. Lindsay and John worked together at NIST (Thailand) at the time of recording, where they developed a unique model for co-teaching and coaching to support all learners in John's classroom, where Lindsay was supporting EAL students. Both Lindsay and John have had training in coaching so they have come to the co-teaching experience with a foundational understanding of how coaching works. In this episode they talk about: How Lindsay and John work together Why John, as an MYP INS teacher finds coaching so valuable Why Lindsay, as an EAL Teacher, finds coaching such a powerful support to her work What works well in their partnership as well as what can be challenging How this model might work in other schools Find the show notes for this episode here.

You've got a client who's ready to work with you—they've paid for their first session and now you're feeling those pre-session nerves. Sound familiar?In this episode, we talk about what's really going on in your client's mind when they show up for that first paid session (hint: they're probably more nervous than you are). I share the exact structure I use to make sure every client leaves their first session feeling heard, hopeful, and clear on their next steps.From creating a warm welcome that puts your clients at ease, to helping them see their full financial picture (often for the first time), we cover how to make your first paid sessions truly valuable for your clients. I share my biggest mistakes and what I learned from them, so you can skip the trial and error phase I went through.Plus, I walk through our follow-up system that keeps clients engaged and taking action even after the session ends. Whether you're new to paid sessions or looking to make your current process even better, this episode will help you create an experience that has your clients saying “they get me” and ready to take the next step in their journey.Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupEpisode 91Key Takeaways:Want your clients to open up about money? Start by acknowledging their courage - it takes guts to share your finances with a stranger and pay them for help.Trying to solve every financial problem in one session isn't generous, it's overwhelming. Pick their most exciting goal and solve it completely.Your clients can sense when you're in your head worrying about delivering value. Their emotional rollercoaster is 10 times bigger than yours.Numbers tell a story, but you need to narrate it out loud. Walk clients through your thinking process so they can see how you got to the solution.The magic isn't in telling clients to spend less, it's in finding their big goal that makes them excited enough to actually change their habits.When a client shares multiple money goals, celebrate internally. They're showing you they have a genuine need for ongoing coaching, so don't try to tackle all those goals at once.Your follow-up system is a safety net that catches clients before they fall off track. Make it systematic but personal, like checking in when reality and procrastination typically hit.

This #coachbetter episode is a highlight from one of Kim's favorite episodes from a previous season, featuring Anne Marie Chow, who at the time was Middle School Vice Principal and English teacher at United World College Southeast Asia, East Campus in Singapore. We're excited to be sharing this highlight today, because not only is Anne Marie amazing (listen to her full episode here) but if you've been watching or listening to #coachbetter this season, you know we're talking a lot about measuring your impact (see links to previous episode below). Because instructional coaching is a non-teaching position, it's so important for coaches to be proactive about measuring and sharing the impact of their work. It's a role that's both challenging to find the budget to hire for, and one that's easy to cut if school leaders don't see the intended outcome. The more coaches can do to collect and share data around their work, the easier it will be for school leaders, and teachers, to see the value of coaching. This episode highlights the experience of coaches at UWC Singapore and the actual types of data they are collecting. If you're an instructional coach, curious about getting started collecting data, there are some great ideas here - and hopefully this clip will inspire even more ideas that will work just right in your school context.

While these tasks matter, they're only part of the story. This week, we talk about why setting aside time to work ON your business (not just IN it) makes everything else feel easier. Despite the perception that you “don't have time” to do anything other than take client calls.Think of your business like a garden: you can spend all day watering plants and pulling weeds, but without a good design and irrigation system, you'll always be playing catch-up.

Build processes that make your work smoother while keeping the human connection clients crave.Get really good at 2-3 things instead of being okay at a dozen things. Excellence in a few areas brings better results than mediocrity in many.Treat your business metrics like you treat a budget.

After a client says "yes" to working with you, those first few days are huge. They might be excited about finally taking action with their money, but they're probably also nervous, wondering if they made the right choice. In this episode, we're talking about how to make your new clients feel completely confident in their decision to work with you.We've noticed that there's actually more uncertainty right after someone pays you than at any other time in the coaching relationship. Even though they've already committed, they might be thinking "Will this actually work for me?" or "Did I just waste my money?" Your onboarding process needs to address these worries before they even come up.Here's the thing about financial coaching: we're dealing with really personal stuff. Money touches every part of our clients' lives, which is why those first interactions matter so much. So this week, we'll talk about specific ways to welcome your new clients, from sending a personal video message to giving them a quick win right away. We also share real examples of systems you can use to make sure nothing falls through the cracks while still keeping things personal and genuine.Want to know exactly what needs to happen between "yes" and that first session? Listen in to learn our tried-and-true timeline that keeps your clients feeling supported and builds their confidence from day one.Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupBonjoroKey Takeaways:The moment after payment is when clients are most uncertain. Reassure them immediately with a welcome message or personal video that shows you're excited to work with them.Your systems make personal touches possible. Set up templates and reminders so you can consistently show up for each client without keeping everything in your head.Quick wins build confidence. Give clients something valuable they can do right away, like a simple money tracking template, so they feel momentum before the first session.Clear communication prevents doubt. Tell clients exactly when and how they'll hear from you next, with specific ways they can reach out if needed.Time gaps kill momentum.

Each interaction between signup and first session should reinforce their decision to work with you.

Trust matters more than ever in financial coaching. People have become more and more skeptical about coaching in general and they're incredibly discerning when it comes to how they find solutions to their challenges. And they're looking to people they trust for the answers.So how do you build trust with potential clients if you can't even get them on a call? Partnerships.Whether you're just starting out or growing your coaching practice, one of the best ways to grow your audience and potential client base is by leaning on your relationships with others who already know, like, and trust you. And this week on the podcast, you'll learn three proven ways to build meaningful relationships that bring in clients who are ready to do the work.You'll hear practical examples of how to create partnerships with other professionals (like real estate agents and CPAs), build a referral network that works both ways, and use speaking opportunities to show people what it's like to work with you—without the pressure of a hard sell.We also talk about why these particular strategies keep working even as marketing trends come and go, and how you can start using them in ways that feel natural for you. Best of all, these approaches help you meet people exactly when they need you most, through someone they already trust.Plus, I share a free client journey roadmap to help you put these trust-building ideas into action. If you're ready to grow your coaching business by focusing on real relationships instead of fancy marketing tactics, this episode is for you.Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupClient Creator ChallengeClient JourneyKey Takeaways:Trust isn't built through fancy marketing. It comes from showing up consistently where your ideal clients already are.Your first speaking opportunity doesn't need to be perfect. Start with one simple talk that solves one specific problem well.Stop trying to serve everyone. The clearer you are about who you help, the easier it is for partners to send you the right clients.The strongest referral relationships go both ways. Look for opportunities to send referrals just as often as you receive them.People need to see how you teach before they trust you with their money. Create simple resources they can try on their own first.Your expertise might feel basic to you. If your teaching points feel too simple, you're probably right on track for your audience.Strong client relationships start before the sale. Make it easy for people to get a small win before asking them to commit.

In today's episode, we're talking about real-life conversations about raising rates without cringing or worrying that every client is going to pack their bags.

Remember when making $2,000 a month as a financial coach felt almost impossible? I sat at my kitchen table dreaming about it, having no idea how I'd make it happen. That was my first BHAG (Big, Hairy, Audacious Goal), and it made my palms sweat just thinking about it.Today, my BHAGs are much bigger—and yes, they still make my palms sweat. Because here's the thing about setting goals for your coaching business: if they don't make you a little nervous, they're probably not big enough.This week, I'm sharing the exact process I use to set goals that actually mean something—not just arbitrary revenue goals that other people talk about or goals that I think I “should” care about. We'll talk about those sneaky stories holding you back (like my old belief that making too much money would make me less relatable to clients), and I'll show you how I plan my entire year around what matters most.Plus, I'm giving you real homework at the end of this episode. Yep, homework. Because we're not just here to talk about goals, we're here to make them happen.Ready to set goals that excite you and scare you at the same time? Let's make those palms sweat a little.Note: If you're in the Financial Coach Academy®, this pairs perfectly with exercises 1.21 and 1.22 in Module 1. And if goal-setting for a whole year feels overwhelming?

Your business should add to your life, not drain it.Pick just 2-3 numbers to track, mixing things you can control with actual results.
