Welcome back to the Heads Together podcast! Today's episode might ruffle a few feathers, but it's a conversation that needs to be had. The truth is, not everyone has what it takes to grow a thriving coaching practice. It's not about coaching being too hard or the industry not being viable, it's about whether you have the right skills, mindset, and resilience to make it work. Some coaches simply aren't good enough at coaching. Without delivering real results, no amount of marketing will (or should) build a sustainable business. I see some coaches expecting it to be easy, posting a few times on social media and waiting for clients to roll in. But success takes strategy, learning how to sell, and most importantly, grit. If you give up at the first sign of struggle, this path may not be for you. Building a coaching business requires handling uncertainty, being open to learning, and committing fully. Those who keep one foot in and one foot out will never build something truly successful. So ask yourself, are you willing to go all in? Because if you are, you do have what it takes, and we can help you: Find out more about the Academy HERE Download The 7 Secrets of Wildly Successful Coaches HERE

The way you onboard a client isn't just a nice touch, it's a game changer. The moment someone says yes to working with you, they're either getting more excited or second guessing their decision. And that all comes down to how you welcome them into your coaching world. In this week's episode of the Heads Together, I am talking about what makes a ridiculously good onboarding experience, one that makes clients feel valued, confident, and ready to get results. From the first message you send to keeping momentum before the first session, to structuring that crucial first call, I'm sharing a simple yet powerful approach that most coaches overlook. When done right, this process not only keeps clients engaged but turns them into your biggest advocates. If you're ready to make your onboarding experience smoother, more personal, and ultimately more effective, let's make it happen. If you're a coach who's struggling to consistently attract and sign up great clients, I'm here for you!

There was a time when you could post a few pretty graphics, throw up some motivational quotes, and somehow, coaching clients would find their way to your DMs. But those days? They're over. In this episode of Heads Together, I'm calling out the outdated marketing strategies that simply aren't working anymore and sharing exactly what does work to attract high-ticket coaching clients in 2025. It's not about chasing the algorithm or trying to “hack” your way to success, it's about showing up as the expert you are, building real relationships, and creating a business that isn't at the mercy of social media trends. ***** Have you registered for Unearth Your Edge yet?

Welcome back to the Heads Together podcast! This week I'm asking a tough question: Are you actually running a coaching business, or are you just coaching? Because there's a big difference. If you're treating your coaching like a side project rather than a real business, you're likely stuck in hobby mode and that's keeping you from the success you really want. It's one thing to love coaching, but that alone doesn't make it a business. If you're waiting for clients to magically appear, endlessly tweaking your website, or posting motivational quotes hoping someone will reach out, you're not building a sustainable business, you're playing at one. A real business needs structure, strategy, and a commitment to growth. In this episode, I break down some of the biggest signs that you might be stuck in hobby mode and what it takes to shift into real business ownership. If you've ever felt like you're spinning your wheels, staying busy but not making real progress, this one is for you. I'm getting honest about what actually moves the needle and how you can step into the role of CEO in your coaching business. So, are you ready to make the shift? Listen in, and let's get to work. And if this episode resonates, DM me on Instagram or LinkedIn and tell me what changes you're making today.

Welcome back to the Heads Together podcast! This week, I'm taking about a topic that's so important for growing a thriving coaching business: niching down. I know it can feel intimidating, even risky, to narrow your focus, especially when you've been holding onto the idea that you can help everyone. But the truth is, getting specific about who you serve and how you serve them is what creates the clarity and confidence that takes your business to the next level. When you have a clear niche, everything starts to click. You stop second guessing your offers and start connecting with the right people, the ones who feel like your work was made just for them. This isn't about limiting yourself; it's about creating space to build a business that reflects who you are and what you're amazing at. Clarity isn't just helpful, it's powerful. It's what allows you to stand out in a crowded market and build the kind of reputation that attracts incredible opportunities. If you've been struggling with this or feeling unsure about your niche, this episode will give you the encouragement and tools to figure it out. I'll walk you through some actionable steps to help you uncover your unique edge and build your business around it. When you know exactly who you're meant to help and how you're meant to help them, everything feels more aligned and the results speak for themselves. Let's get started!

Welcome back to the Heads Together podcast! I'm so happy to have you here because today's episode tackles something that I know so many of you are avoiding. It's that one thing we all know we should be doing in our businesses but somehow keep putting off. And no, it's not sales, it's simpler, yet more powerful than that! Having real conversations with your ideal clients. That one thing we all know we should be doing but somehow, we keep resisting it. Why? It can feel awkward, uncomfortable, or maybe you just tell yourself you already know what your clients need. Sound familiar? In this episode, I talk about why so many of us resist doing it and, more importantly, how it can completely transform your business once you get over that hurdle. I share my own experiences, the common excuses I hear from coaches, and why embracing this simple action has been an absolute game changer for me and my clients. If you're serious about making real connections with your ideal clients and want to unlock the next level of clarity in your business, this episode is a must listen. I've even got a little challenge for you at the end, so be sure to stick around!

In this week's episode, we embark on a powerful conversation with Jon Salmon, a social impact consultant and mental health campaigner, who has dedicated his life to breaking down barriers in mental health and inspiring hope. Jon's story takes us from London's winter challenges to the sunny shores of Cape Town, where he finds moments of peace and connection with family. He opens up about the challenges of supporting mental health amidst public funding cuts and shares how movements like Heads Together and Red January bring people together to tackle stigma and create real change. Here's what's in the episode:• Why Cape Town has become Jon's place of renewal and connection. • His journey as a mental health advocate and the personal struggles that sparked his mission. • How the Red January movement transformed his perspective on the “January blues.” • Inspiring stories from organisations like Let's Talk About Loss that bring support and community to those grieving.

This week's Heads Together episode is all about the three essential marketing strategies every business owner needs to grow: visibility, lead generation, and sales. I talk about why showing up consistently where your ideal clients are (and not just relying on referrals) is a game changer, plus how collaborating and focusing on the right platforms makes all the difference. I also share why building an engaged email list is more powerful than just chasing followers, with some insights from my own experience of filling a beta cohort with just a couple of emails. It's all about creating trust and connection, without feeling pushy or overwhelming. If you've ever felt stuck on how to attract, nurture, and convert the right clients, this episode will give you the clarity you need. Tune in to hear more, and if you're ready to take things to the next level, there's a link in the show notes to book a call or join my email list to see how it all works in practice! Contact Me

Welcome back to the Heads Together podcast! This week's episode is a rewind episode to episode #114 and it is a quick one, but it's filled with insights that struck me while I was driving – yes, I had to pull over to make a note! I'm exploring the challenge of earning business because t's not as easy as it used to be. Consumers are more discerning, and earning their business means truly connecting with them. It's all about the know, like, and trust factor – that timeless trio we can't ignore. I also share my thoughts on balancing automation with genuine connection. While automation has its benefits, there's something special about real time engagement. Posting live, reacting to current events, and sharing authentic stories can make a big difference.

This is a recording of a livestream on September 4, on LinkedIn & YouTube, with author, Alicia M Rodriguez. The Shaman's Wife is available now.

Meet Alicia Rodriguez, my client, collaborator and friend. Alicia is one of those women who, if you're lucky enough, you'll have in your inner circle. She's wise, intuitive, kind, funny and utterly inspirational - and now I get to share her story with you. Her memoire, The Shaman's Wife is available to pre-order now, and will be widely published in September. In this exclusive interview series for Heads Together, Alicia shares some background that led to the writing of this incredible book, and also offers even more insight into the lessons we can take for ourselves from her experiences. As Alicia said to me: "I know so many women who have given away their power, often not realizing that they were surrendering their agency to someone else in the name of love. These women are successful and confident, yet something happens, and suddenly, a piece of their life is missing, and they don't know how to recover it. There's fear, shame, and embarrassment at being discovered." Alicia's been there. And she reclaimed her life using the wisdom she gained from shamanism, the very tradition that sought to capture her. This is a story of courage, resilience, and transformation that can be applied to your life. It's a story of forgiveness and the power of Universal Love. It's a story she had to share. "This is the story of the road I had to travel to discover who I really was. If it saves one person or impacts someone who needs to reclaim their life, then all the hard work and sacrifice will be worth it. Writing this book has changed my life. Perhaps reading it will change yours."

Meet Alicia Rodriguez, my client, collaborator and friend. Alicia is one of those women who, if you're lucky enough, you'll have in your inner circle. She's wise, intuitive, kind, funny and utterly inspirational - and now I get to share her story with you. Her memoire, The Shaman's Wife is available to pre-order now, and will be widely published in September. In this exclusive interview series for Heads Together, Alicia shares some background that led to the writing of this incredible book, and also offers even more insight into the lessons we can take for ourselves from her experiences. As Alicia said to me: "I know so many women who have given away their power, often not realizing that they were surrendering their agency to someone else in the name of love. These women are successful and confident, yet something happens, and suddenly, a piece of their life is missing, and they don't know how to recover it. There's fear, shame, and embarrassment at being discovered." Alicia's been there. And she reclaimed her life using the wisdom she gained from shamanism, the very tradition that sought to capture her. This is a story of courage, resilience, and transformation that can be applied to your life. It's a story of forgiveness and the power of Universal Love. It's a story she had to share. "This is the story of the road I had to travel to discover who I really was. If it saves one person or impacts someone who needs to reclaim their life, then all the hard work and sacrifice will be worth it. Writing this book has changed my life. Perhaps reading it will change yours."

Welcome back to the Heads Together podcast, I'm thrilled to have you join me again. This past week I've been enjoying the beautiful weather and spending a lot of time outside. I found an amazing little writing spot at a bird hide on Abberton Reservoir in Essex. It's so peaceful and perfect for sparking creativity. This week I talk about the power of solo work. Running a business as a female founder is no small feat, and it's easy to get lost in the noise of external opinions and validation. I also talk about how important it is to schedule solo work time by keeping certain days free from client appointments. Create a special space, like my bird hide, for uninterrupted focus. Journaling can help process thoughts and ideas. If mindfulness practices like meditation don't work for you, simply enjoy input free time. Consider taking a solo retreat. “Rewild Your Business" is a perfect example, offering a guided, digital retreat to help you reconnect with what matters in your business. Check out rewildyourbusiness.com, register your interest, and I will keep you posted and let you know when you can sign up for the retreat. Enjoy some quiet time this week. Remember, the most important voice to listen to is your own.

In this week's Heads Together podcast episode I ask the important question of how close is the business you have now to the vision you had for your business at the beginning? Opportunities and distractions in equal measure (one sometimes disguised as the other ) can mean your business meanders along until it bears little resemblance to what you'd originally dreamed it would be. How often do you step back from the day to day of market, serve, repeat to look at what's working for you now and what's not. What feels aligned and what doesn't. How often do you dare to consider a change of direction, a big pivot. Do you regularly consider what no longer serves you and perhaps needs letting go of? Time to work on our business is SO important, and Summer is the perfect season to do just that. Like I said last week, the sleepier summer months are perfect for intentionally lowering your energy, turning down the dial to a mild simmer, so you can reflect, consolidate, plan. This is why I'll be offering you something very special later this month. I've created the perfect virtual solo retreat for you. An opportunity to have 5 days out from your business (or at least from client work) to work ON your business. Within the self guided container, you'll spend each day reflecting, journaling, reviewing a different part of your business. This is just a teaser as I'm still working on some of the beautiful content that will be there for you inside your virtual retreat. If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, go to https://www.gillmoakes.com/RYB-register-interest and I'll be sure to keep you posted.

Welcome back to the Heads Together podcast! This week, I'm talking about a topic that's been on my mind: Aligning your energy with the seasons. I explore how different seasons affect our energy levels: spring and autumn are high-energy, "doing" seasons, while summer and winter encourage us to slow down and reflect. I explain the importance of giving ourselves permission to adjust our pace with the seasons, and how this can benefit our overall well being and business sustainability. Are you curious about aligning your energy with the seasons? Apply for a free breakthrough session at Gillmoakes.com/apply. Thanks for listening!

Welcome back to the Heads Together podcast. This week, I'm talking about what it really means to "play big" and be unapologetic. Spoiler alert: It's not about how big your dreams are, but how fulfilled you feel while chasing them. Whether you're aiming to run a mega-corporation or raise alpacas in the countryside, it's all about owning what you truly want. Get ready for an inspiring episode that challenges the go big or go home mentality and champions authentic, unapologetic living. Playing big isn't about the size of your dreams but the fulfillment they bring you. It's about pursuing what truly makes you happy, whether that's a bustling business or a serene lifestyle. Claim what you want unapologetically, even if it doesn't fit the mainstream narrative of success. Your dreams are valid, no matter their shape or size. Stop comparing your journey to others. Focus on your vision and what success means to you. Remember, everyone's path looks different. I loved hearing from those who connected with me on LinkedIn after the last episode. It was joyful receiving your messages and knowing you're out there listening. It's moments like these that make everything worthwhile. Have a fantastic week, and see you next time!

Welcome back to the Heads Together podcast. I'm so grateful you're here with me, can you believe we're already at episode 115? Amazing, right? In this episode, I explore whether starting a podcast is the right choice for you. I address common questions about podcasting, share insights from my own journey, and discuss the benefits and challenges of creating a podcast. I explain the importance of establishing a content platform such as a blog, podcast, or YouTube channel to position yourself as an expert in your field. Why I prefer podcasting and the advantages of each platform, including visibility and thought leadership, networking, and audience connection. However, there are challenges to podcasting, including the long-term commitment required for growth, consistency, and patience. Managing the extensive workflow, from planning and recording to editing and promoting, is also demanding. Despite these challenges, the supportive nature of the podcasting community and the potential for collaboration make it worthwhile. Using a podcast to attract the right clients and build a loyal listener community is essential.

Welcome back to the Heads Together podcast! This week's episode is a quick one, but it's filled with insights that struck me while I was driving – yes, I had to pull over to make a note! I'm exploring the challenge of earning business because t's not as easy as it used to be. Consumers are more discerning, and earning their business means truly connecting with them. It's all about the know, like, and trust factor – that timeless trio we can't ignore. I also share my thoughts on balancing automation with genuine connection. While automation has its benefits, there's something special about real time engagement. Posting live, reacting to current events, and sharing authentic stories can make a big difference. If there's one thing I'd love for you to do after listening, it's to connect with me on LinkedIn. Send me a direct message saying you listened to Episode 114, and let's start a conversation. Who knows, you might even end up as a guest on the podcast!

Welcome back to the Heads Together podcast, I'm thrilled you're here again. Today, I'm explaining what six things might be holding you back from growing your dream business. These are super common issues, and we all fall into these traps sometimes. But the great news is that we can change them. We just need to recognise them and take action. I've been working with a coach myself recently - shout out to Deborah Driscoll at Big Life Magic - and it's been eye-opening. This coaching is all about energetic alignment and intuition, and it's really tuned me into my own gut feelings. It's made me realise how tough it can be to build a business if you're not in tune with your intuition. Are you constantly looking for others to validate your decisions? This can seriously stifle your progress. Trust yourself! No one is as invested in your success as you are. Tune into your intuition and let it guide you.

In this week's Heads Together podcast episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Ian Sanders, a storyteller, author, speaker, trainer and coach, who's passionate about storytelling and its power to transform our work and lives. Ian's career has been a fascinating journey, spanning over three decades, where he's navigated various roles and ultimately found his calling as a storyteller. We discuss the essence of storytelling and its connection to curiosity. Ian highlights how curiosity serves as a superpower in storytelling, emphasising the importance of paying attention and noticing the world around us. He shares insights on how individuals, regardless of their profession, can harness curiosity to craft compelling narratives about their experiences. Ian encourages listeners to tell stories that resonate with them on a personal level, rather than focusing solely on audience engagement metrics. Join us as we explore the transformative power of curiosity in storytelling and uncover the beauty of sharing authentic narratives that connect us on a deeper level.

Welcome back to the Heads Together podcast! I am thrilled to have you join us again or ff it's your first time here, a huge welcome! I'm diving into why we coaches sometimes feel the pressure to become digital marketing wizards when, in reality, our focus should be on what truly matters: helping people. It's about those genuine connections, those heart-to-heart conversations that make all the difference. I'll be honest, I might get a bit passionate about this topic—it's something I truly believe in. But stick with me, because I promise it's worth it. We'll explore why building relationships is the real secret to growing a thriving coaching practice. So, if you've ever felt overwhelmed by the endless demands of digital marketing or wondered if there's a simpler way to attract clients, this episode is for you. Let's cut through the noise and get back to what coaching is really about: changing lives, one conversation at a time. Tune in and let's dive deep into the world of coaching, connection, and creating a business that truly lights you up.

Welcome back to this week's episode of the Heads Together podcast. I am freshly back from the north Norfolk coast where I had the loveliest long weekend break. If you are in the UK or across the pond, Norfolk is a must to visit. Now let's dive into this week's topic, this is a talk I gave recently to the Institute of Coaching Studies, where I obtained my ICF accreditation. The Institute is the ONLY coach training provider I recommend because, quite simply, it's the best! If you're interested in training to be a coach, or, like me, want to formalise your training and gain accreditation, then do check out the Institute: The talk I gave there was all about the Coach's Offer Pyramid. Picture it like a tiered structure where each level represents a different way coaches can add value to their clients. One-to-one coaching should be our initial focus, it's where we refine our craft, build our reputation, and create fans who will sing our praises to anyone who will listen. If you're loving what you're hearing, would you do me a huge favour and leave a five-star review on Apple Podcasts. It's like giving me a virtual high-five and helps spread the word about the podcast far and wide.
