If your revenue is inconsistent and you are convinced you need more leads, this episode might change your diagnosis. Most coaches blame visibility when the actual problem lives somewhere else entirely. I am walking you through the three coaching business gaps that quietly drain your roster and revenue: the leads gap, the conversions gap, and the renewals gap. You will learn how to audit which one is yours, why the conversions gap is the most misdiagnosed, and the exact data to pull this week to find your truth. What you will walk away with: The diagnostic question for each of the three gaps Why the conversions gap shows up in three different places The 88% renewal rate stat from inside Best Damn Coach and how I built it The session-one fix to start every client relationship with renewal in mind Action steps to close your gap before summer ends Doors open Thursday, May 14 for the Small Bite Offer, my six-week live cohort that helps you build the bridge offer that converts warm leads into paying clients.

Most coaches have a free thing and an expensive thing. The gap between them is exactly why selling feels so hard. This is the final episode of the Coaching Triad series, and I'm walking you through the three-part coaching business model that took me from dreading sales calls to genuinely loving them. The same structure builds consistent client flow, attracts premium engagement, and creates a path to multiple six figures without the constant grind. In this episode: Why your lead magnet probably isn't converting and the shift that fixes it The middle offer responsible for 88% of my higher-ticket clients How to price each offer so the next step feels natural Why the signature offer position changes every sales conversation What happens when all three pieces actually work together Mentioned in this episode: Fill Your Roster Challenge (May 12-14, free): https://amanda-walker.com/fill 10 Powerful Questions for Coaches: https://amanda-walker.com/questions Instagram: @awalkmyway https://www.instagram.com/awalkmyway/

The coaching industry keeps selling you one answer to getting clients: go high-ticket. Ten clients at $10K, and you're done. But here's what that advice skips completely. It assumes your potential clients already trust you enough to write that check. And right now, that assumption is breaking businesses. In part two of the Coaching Triad series, I'm calling out the coaching offer strategy being sold to coaches as "sophisticated" but quietly keeping brilliant coaches stuck. In this episode you'll hear why high-ticket alone isn't the problem but the missing sales runway is, what a "no front door" business looks like and how to fix it, what an ascension model actually is (and the mistake that kills it), and the real numbers from my own business: 89% of high-ticket clients came through this entry point first. You'll also hear Ali's story. She's a pelvic floor therapist who went from zero leads to landing new clients fast, and had people bypass her entry offer to go straight into high-ticket coaching, all because of how the offer was positioned.

I never thought I'd be recording an episode about Justin Bieber. But after his Coachella performance broke the internet, I couldn't stop thinking about what it means for your coaching business. He earned $10 million for a hoodie, a bar stool, and a laptop. No pyrotechnics. No backup dancers. Just him. And the internet lost its mind. In this episode, I break down 4 business lessons from what's now being called "Bieberchella.": Same candy, different wrapper: why you don't need to start over from scratch When everyone zigs, you zag: how doing less can set you apart Bring people with you: the collaboration move that multiplies your reach Authenticity is the strategy: why showing up as the real you is your biggest business asset If you've been feeling like you need a whole new offer, a fancier funnel, or a more polished brand to grow, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I'm cutting through the noise around SEO, websites, and content strategy to get to what's actually keeping you from getting coaching clients.

Here's what we cover: The one question that diagnoses your client problem in under 5 seconds The 4 assumptions silently killing your lead flow Why content is a billboard, not a sales strategy What real client conversations actually look like (and what they don't) The one metric you should be tracking instead of followers or impressions Plus, I share details on the Premium Client Activation Accelerator.

Your client committed. They were fired up. And then they just stopped showing up. Before you assume it is you or that they do not want it enough, there is a better explanation. Behavior change resistance is a built-in feature of change itself. And there are two very different types that require two very different coaching responses. In this episode, I am breaking down exactly what those two types are, what they look like in your clients, and how to coach through each one so your clients actually move forward. In this episode: The real reason your clients stall out, drop off, or quietly disappear Process resistance vs. outcome resistance and how to tell them apart Why "finding their deep why" is not always the fix coaches think it is Practical coaching moves to help clients break through each type How to use this framework on yourself when your own resistance shows up Grab the 10 Powerful Questions every coach should know: amanda-walker.com/questions Ready to get coaching support and business strategy in one place?

Today I am giving you an insight into a real client coaching session by sharing 3 powerful questions that I use with clients to help unlock their potential.There are many different kinds of coaching question. And I have seen, over the decade I have been coaching, that a single question might be all that's needed to unlock a client's pain or 'stuckness' - and help them move forwards to achieve new goals.Today I am exploring questions that might help you break a negative belief pattern; that will help you see your 'reality' in a new way to challenge your own assumptions; and help you see how you might be adding layers of meaning to situations - that simply aren't there.Rebecca, on being more aware of your actions: "Human brains intrinsically want to be correct so when you run a belief, particularly over a number of years, the brain will continue to look for 'evidence' to support the belief so that it can hold. But often when you ask a client what their 'evidence' really is - there isn't any!"Links:Book a free 15 minute Career Strategy call with Rebecca to get your career off to a fresh start.

What would you do if you could sit down and tap with someone in the middle of heartbreak, betrayal, and emotional attachment? In this episode, Jackie breaks down exactly what she would do if she were tapping with Taylor Frankie Paul — and how YOU can apply these same tools in your own life.

Life can collapse faster than we expect. A divorce, financial loss, health issues, or the breakdown of relationships can leave a man wondering where to even begin again. In this episode of Friday Field Notes, Ryan Michler shares six strategies for rebuilding your life when everything feels like it's falling apart. Drawing from personal experience and years of working with thousands of men, Ryan explains why rebuilding doesn't start with massive breakthroughs—it starts with small, disciplined actions that restore stability and control. If you're facing rock bottom—or helping someone who is—this episode outlines the mindset and practical steps required to rebuild stronger than before. Ryan covers why stabilizing yourself is more important than rushing into strategy, how taking full ownership restores your personal power, and why rebuilding your body is one of the fastest ways to regain confidence and discipline. He also explains the importance of simplifying your life, stacking small wins, and surrounding yourself with the right brotherhood so you don't face the rebuilding process alone. Rock bottom doesn't have to be the end of your story. It can be the foundation for becoming the man you were meant to be.

We're wrapping up Season 4 and our AI, Workplace and Culture series with a look back at our biggest takeaways from each guest. This is a quick, practical roundup of what stuck with us, what we've already put into action, and why this conversation isn't going anywhere.What We CoverMartha Shaughnessy, Founder & CEO of The Key PR – Communication has to be at the table early, especially during change. AI is both an opportunity for tremendous good and a source of real risk. Diverse lived experience is what helps organizations navigate that well.Andrea Jordan, Founder & CEO of Empathium – You can't remove humans from the loop and expect it to work. AI also has underexplored potential to help us develop emotional intelligence, especially in high-stakes fields like healthcare and education.Jordache Johnson, Never Tech Behind – You don't learn AI from one course. Small experiments build skills over time. His ADAPT framework is a practical starting point for integrating AI with intention, not just access.Nikki Silvestri, Founder & CEO of Soil and Shadow – Environmental impact isn't an all-or-nothing conversation. Systems thinking means holding the full picture. And if your organization doesn't have an AI policy, people are already doing whatever they're doing.Key Takeaway Whether you're bullish or bearish, not engaging is not a neutral position. Know where you stand, understand what's happening in your space, and lead from there.We Want to Hear From You What's your biggest takeaway from this series?

We're closing out our AI and Culture series with Nikki Silvestri, CEO and Founder of Soil and Shadow, international keynote speaker, and environmental advocate. Nikki has spent her career asking hard questions about who benefits and who bears the cost, and she brings that same lens to AI. This conversation covers environmental impact, personal responsibility, and what it means to lead with ethics when technology is moving this fast.What We CoverThe Commons vs. the Wild West – AI is actually both happening simultaneously, and the education gap is the biggest driver of why.The urgency is real – The pressure to adopt AI isn't false. Productivity expectations are shifting and jobs are being replaced. But individual blame isn't the answer.Environmental impact in context – Data centers use energy and water, but so does streaming, Zoom, and Spotify. A systems view means holding the whole picture, not just the sound bite.The regional advocacy gap – Placing data centers in drought-prone or already-stressed regions has real consequences, and local advocacy matters more than most people realize.BYO AI and Shadow Tech – 70-75% of organizations have no AI policies, but the same percentage of people are using it individually. That gap is where risk lives.Using AI to reclaim your time – Nikki's personal case for how AI is giving her back the mental and psychic energy that intellectual work used to drain, especially for women and neurodivergent leaders.What to actually do – Understand your footprint, advocate for democratic infrastructure, use free templates to get your team aligned before you spend money on outside help.Bullish or bearish? – Both. The power of the tool is real. The incentives of the companies building it are not in your favor.Key Takeaway Growth mindset. A lot is changing fast and it is scary. Stay at the growth edge, but you don't have to make yourself unsafe to do it.Guest Resource Nikki Silvestri and Soil and Shadow: soilandshadow.com We Want to Hear From You Send your questions to podcast@cocreatework.com and subscribe to our newsletter at cocreatework.com.As always, thank you for your leadership.Resources:Leading through growth takes intention.

This episode is for leaders and individuals who know AI is changing everything — but aren't sure where to start, or why their organization's adoption keeps stalling. We sat down with Jordache Johnson, founder and CEO of Never Tech Behind, to break down what AI fluency actually means, why most transformations fail, and what it takes to build a culture where AI works for your people, not around them.The Big QuestionHow do leaders move their organizations — and themselves — from fear of AI to actual fluency?What We CoverAI fluency isn't about knowing the code — it's about knowing when and how to apply AI to solve real problems, and having the confidence to experiment without fear.Compound learning is the real unlock — you don't learn AI from a course. You learn it by doing small experiments and letting your skills stack over time.AI transformation is a 70% people problem — if your people don't trust it, understand it, or feel safe using it, the tools don't matter.The ADAPT Framework — Jordache's system for building an AI-powered, human-always culture: Assess, Develop, Analyze, Plan, Train.What keeps him up at night — Jordache gets real about the risks he does and doesn't worry about, and why he built his whole company around the idea that no one gets left behind.Key TakeawayDon't wait for your employer to give you permission. Start experimenting now — small projects, dedicated time, genuine curiosity. The compounding effect is real and available to everyone.Connect with Jordache Website: jordache.ai and join his newsletter for all the latest in AI.Resources:Leading through growth takes intention.

Andrea Jordan is the Founder and CEO of Empathium, and she's building something radically different in the AI space. While everyone else is focused on automation and efficiency, Andrea is building emotionally intelligent AI for the moments that matter most.What we loved about this conversation is Andrea's willingness to sit with the tension. She's not blindly pro-AI, and she's wrestling with big questions about what it means to use these tools to create more equitable systems.What We Talked AboutAndrea walked us through why companies are rolling back their automation efforts—turns out removing humans from human care is an expensive mistake. We explored how AI can actually help people develop empathy, attunement, and relational confidence instead of replacing those skills. She shared why Empathium is designed to work in places with limited or no connectivity (because if it only works in optimal conditions, who are we really serving?). And we grappled with Audre Lorde's wisdom about the "master's tools" and what it means to build from inside systems we're trying to change.Key TakeawaysThe self-checkout, robo-customer-service era taught companies a hard lesson: you can't just remove humans from the loop and expect it to work. Empathium is building on that recognition—not automating human interaction, but attuning humans themselves.AI's best qualities are agility, adaptability, and scale. The question is whether we use those to replace human connection or to support it. Andrea is betting on support—building tools that help people show up better in high-stakes moments.If we want better systems, we need tools that make emotionally intelligent care scalable. That means designing for healthcare, education, and human services where communication failures have the highest human and economic costs.Empathium is designed as a global product that works without constant connectivity. As Andrea puts it: "If we can't foster human connection there, are we really doing the work?"On using the "master's tools": Andrea openly wrestles with this tension. Her take? She's not trying to dismantle the house but to "make space for all of us to live in it." Use the tools we have strategically while staying grounded in intention.AI isn't the answer to everything. We need critical thinking about which tools to use when—and to recognize when we're using a hammer for a wrench's job.About Andrea JordanAndrea's background spans social work, behavioral health, and systems-level leadership. She specializes in designing products at the intersection of trauma-informed care, AI, and high-stakes communication. With Empathium, she's developing adaptive emotional intelligence infrastructure focused on where communication failures cost the most. Her belief is simple: if we want better systems, we need to build tools that make emotionally intelligent care scalable—not by replacing humans, but by building a bridge to human connection.Connect with AndreaAndrea welcomes conversations about what she's building:LinkedIn: Andrea Jordan GoubeauxWebsite: empathium.ai (join the waitlist)Early access to Tynd: Reach out to Andrea directly on LinkedInResources:Navigating a big transition?

Your kids won't remember how much you made. They'll remember if you were there. In this raw and honest episode, I'm getting real about the trade-offs between building a coaching business and being present for your family. I share why I turned down a hypothetical $2 million opportunity, the "radio knob" metaphor that changed how I approach my days, and the permission slip you might need to define success differently. In this episode, you'll learn: Why the "you can have it all" message sets moms up to fail The radio knob framework for managing business and family priorities My non-negotiables as a business owner and mom (and why they matter) How to measure success beyond revenue numbers The difference between intentional choices and guilt-driven defaults This episode is for you if: You're struggling with mom guilt while building your business You're measuring success by someone else's metrics You want permission to build slowly or work part-time You're ready to design your business around your actual life Resources mentioned: "How To Get Clients" Limited Series: amanda-walker.com/limitedseries 10 Powerful Questions: amanda-walker.com/questions Connect with Amanda: Instagram: @awalkmyway https://www.instagram.com/awalkmyway/

We're kicking off our AI Workplace and Culture series with Martha Shaughnessy, founder and CEO of The Key PR. Martha isn't just observing the AI transformation—she's living it. Her firm works with tech startups building with AI, and she's implementing AI tools in her own company.What we really appreciated about our conversation is Martha's refusal to give easy answers. She's both optimistic and pessimistic about where we're headed.What We Talked AboutMartha walked us through what's actually happening in the startup world right now (spoiler: it's all AI, all the time). We dug into why communications needs to be involved at the earliest stages of strategy, not bolted on at the end. She shared her framework for crisis communication when the tools and rules keep changing. And we explored what it means to co-create work when everything is shifting underneath us.Martha also brought what she calls her "punk ass perspective" on who gets to dominate the tech conversation—and why that matters for all of us.Key TakeawaysMost companies are either building with AI from the ground up or retrofitting existing products. The Wild West analogy applies, except those already on top (Google, Amazon, OpenAI) have such a dramatic lead that the playing field is fundamentally different.For most people, technology is magic. They don't care how it works—they care why it matters. The job is finding both the selfish impact (how it affects you personally) and the global impact (how it makes the world better).In crisis communication, simple truth beats complicated explanations every time. Over-explaining makes people suspicious. And sometimes you just have to take it—because if you messed up, someone's going to be mad.The "get it off my desk" jobs are most at risk. But curiosity, creativity, and systems thinking? Those become more valuable than ever. Martha's hope is that we graduate from productivity-first culture and reinvest in what makes us human.AI can do tremendous good—and tremendous harm. From literacy tutoring for kids with dyslexia to environmental damage from energy demands, this technology cuts both ways. We need visionary leadership and diverse perspectives in the room to navigate it well.Communications needs to be at the table early. Not as a bolt-on at the end, but at the concept stage when you're still figuring things out. That's where you catch potential crises before they happen.About Martha ShaughnessyMartha is the founder and CEO of The Key PR, a Bay Area-based communications firm she founded in 2017 with a mission to deliver high-impact, no-BS communications to her clients. Over the past 20+ years, Martha has worked with tech companies, startups, and nonprofits, helping them navigate the complex intersection of technology, culture, and human impact. She specializes in helping organizations tell stories that matter—finding the human thread in even the most technical products.Connect with MarthaMartha welcomes conversations about big ideas.

In today's episode, Bob 'n Joyce take on a question many organizations avoid—but can't afford to ignore: What does the business actually need from its leaders right now? Rather than defaulting to generic competency models or last year's leadership playbook, Joyce pulls from her flip-chart archives—capturing real-world leadership “must-haves” identified by two distinct groups: the C-suite and Operations VPs working in the trenches. What emerges is a fascinating contrast between strategic expectations and operational realities—from leading large-scale change and building long-term capacity, to battle-hardened confidence, simplicity of mindset, and spending more time in the field than the office. Bob 'n Joyce then force-rank the top three leadership attributes from each group and invite you to do the same. Why? Because leadership development without context is just activity—not impact. Given the challenges your organization faces this year, this episode helps you make a conscious, strategic choice about where to focus leadership development so it serves the business—not just the curriculum. Come on in. Grab a snack. Welcome. Footnote: Leadership Attributes Identified by Each Group C-suite Leadership “Must-Haves” • Proven track record • Builds capacity • High energy endurance • Vision for strategy • Inspires • Compassionate • Courageous • Builds productive relationships • Leads large change • Keeps the long-term good of the company in mind Operations VP Leadership “Must-Haves” • Passionate and curious • Battle-hardened confidence • Team smarts (collaborative) • Simple mindset (ultimate sophistication) • Fearlessness (no comfort in comfort) • Preparation and patience • Time management • Smart interviewing • More time out of the office than in • The art of running meetings

What happens when you slow down, ask better questions, and resist the urge to rush to answers? In this episode, Bob 'n Joyce model a real-time reflection that sparks insight, tension, and surprising clarity for the year ahead. Using curiosity and inquiry, they pose a series of powerful questions to one another—questions designed to disrupt familiar thinking and generate fresh insights and “aha” moments. What unfolds is a candid, in-the-moment assessment of their current reality, paired with the creative tension between where they are today and what they hope for in the year ahead. You'll hear the pauses, the uncertainty, and the less-than-polished responses that come with doing this work honestly. Fair warning: this is not an easy or comfortable exercise. But it is a meaningful one. The rewards of slowing down, asking better questions, and reflecting together—whether with a team or across an entire organization—are well worth the effort. Come on in. Grab a snack. Welcome!

Forget the funnel. Forget the fancy social strategy. Your biggest revenue growth opportunity in 2026? The clients you already have. I'm taking you completely behind the scenes of how we're doubling down on client experience in my company this year - and why this matters more than ever in our saturated industry. In this episode: Why I studied Peloton's 90%+ retention rate (and what I'm stealing from them) The 3 elements we're focusing on to take our renewal rate from 80% to 88% How tangible results create robust proof that sells for you My onboarding overhaul that gets clients plugged in faster The surprise and delight strategy that makes clients your sales team Ready to level up your coaching business?

Stop preparing. Start doing. If you've spent months (or years) getting "ready" to launch your coaching business—perfecting your website, tweaking your program, collecting certifications—this episode will flip your entire approach upside down. I'm sharing why the "Ready, Set, Go" model we learned as kids is actually keeping you stuck, broke, and burnt out before you even start. Instead, I'm challenging you to embrace "Go, Set, Ready" in 2026. In this episode, you'll discover: Why waiting to feel "ready" means you never will (and the mind-blowing reason why) The 3-step Go, Set, Ready framework that builds your business based on reality, not assumptions How to take imperfect action immediately without being reckless Why your clients don't care if your website is perfect (but you think they do) The fastest way to know if something's working (hint: put it out there NOW) This is your wake-up call to stop preparing and start building a real coaching business with real clients in 2026.

In today's episode, Bob 'n Joyce unpack an article Joyce wrote years ago on a powerful OD technique she used to assess organizational wellness. Culture can feel fuzzy and hard to diagnose, but this simple inquiry tool makes it concrete, practical, and actionable for leaders, coaches, and OD practitioners. You'll hear when this tool is most valuable—such as during a leadership transition, when performance is slipping, or when an organization has lost its competitive edge—and then we walk through the roadmap step by step. Joyce's Diagnostic Roadmap Includes: Getting a Balcony Perspective 1. What's causing the distress? 2. What internal contradictions does that distress reveal? 3. What is the history behind those contradictions? 4. What perspectives or interests do I (or others) now represent that may be in conflict? 5. How might we, as a team or organization, be mirroring these broader dynamics? Identifying the Tolerable Range of Distress 6. How do we typically respond to disequilibrium—confusion, conflict, external threats, shifting roles? 7. When in the past has distress escalated to a breaking point? 8. What actions have senior leaders traditionally used to restore equilibrium, and what can I influence now? Patterns of Work and Work Avoidance 9. What work and work-avoidance patterns are showing up? 10. What do these patterns reveal about the real adaptive challenge? 11. What clues do leaders (often unintentionally) provide? 12. Which issues are ripe for action—and which may need ripening? There's a lot to unwrap (pun fully intended), so settle in, grab a healthy snack, and join us for a lively conversation on diagnosing culture in a way that actually helps organizations heal and grow.

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.
