In this episode, Sarah addresses the growing commercial crisis in the coaching profession. Despite excellent training in coaching skills, new practitioners are entering an oversaturated market unprepared for the business realities they face. With coaching certifications up 54% globally, Sarah explores why having powerful coaching conversations isn't enough to build a sustainable business.The global coaching population has increased by 54%, surpassing 100,000 qualified coaches for the first time (ICF 2023 study)Traditional pathways through coaching platforms like BetterUp and CoachHub have diminished as competition increasesThe "Prosperous Coach" approach (suggesting good conversations naturally lead to clients) leaves many coaches financially strugglingOnly about 20% of new coaches possess "monetizable credibility" - the professional networks needed to secure high-paying clients immediatelyMany coaching bodies and trainers fail to address client acquisition skills, focusing instead on coaching techniquesEffective marketing is essential but misunderstood in the coaching profession, with many viewing it as inauthentic or manipulativeUnlike established professions (accounting, law), coaching requires explanation as potential clients often misunderstand what it offersThe sustainability of coaching as a profession depends on bridging the gap between coaching skills and commercial acumen. Sarah calls for training organizations and professional bodies to provide structured, ethical client acquisition strategies alongside coaching skills education. This isn't a critique but an opportunity to strengthen the profession for everyone involved.Want to join this important conversation about the future of coaching?

In this episode of The Double Win Show, Michael Hyatt and Megan Hyatt Miller chat with Rich Litvin, bestselling author of The Prosperous Coach and sought-after leadership coach. Rich unpacks how leaders can embrace self-awareness, tackle work addiction, and redefine success by asking one simple but life-changing question: “What do you want?”Memorable Quotes“Most of success is actually about mining your past.”“No one really remembers a comfortable life.”“My favorite coaching question is the simplest one. It's: What do you want? Especially if you're really good at helping other people, it's actually really hard to answer for yourself.”“The most underrated skill in leadership is self-awareness.”“The power of great coaching is that you can see things that others can't see. And you're bold enough to say what others won't dare to say.”“I don't need to be better at what they do than they are. They're the best in the planet at what they do. I'm the one who's bold enough to challenge their thinking.”“If your heart tells you to say this to do this, then you need to lean into that edge, even if it's to start off by saying, ‘Hey, I feel a little bit nervous to say this.'”“If you're addicted to alcohol, to drugs, to sex, to the internet, there's all sorts of help you can get to support you. If you're addicted to work, everything is set up to support you in doing more of it.”“You need things that nurture your spirit. And as much as doing work that you love can feel great, it doesn't always nurture your soul.”“We're not stronger than that algorithm. We can't be. So we need ways to support.”Key TakeawaysAsk “What Do You Want?” This simple yet powerful question unlocks clarity and reveals what truly matters.Self-Awareness Fuels Success. Great leaders reflect on their actions and embrace honest feedback to grow.Energy Drives Achievement. Identify what energizes or drains you to create more capacity for meaningful work.Growth Comes From Discomfort. The most fulfilling moments come when you step outside your comfort zone.Presence Nourishes the Soul. Activities like walking, reading, or connecting with loved ones demand your full attention and lead to greater fulfillment.Community Accelerates Growth. Honest, supportive relationships amplify self-awareness and help you thrive.ResourcesRich Litvin's Website: richlitvin.comThe Prosperous Coach by Rich Litvin and Steve ChandlerRich Litvin's 1 Insight PodcastWatch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/-xmywu_fDi0This episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

My, well, my coffee is here in front of me. I'm here with Alex, my guest today. Alex, really pleased to have you on. Alex is a a keynote speaker and executive coach. He's a a a global movement leader, and he's the VP of the BIPOC Coach Collective and a partner of black leaders worldwide. Again, a man with a really impressive CV. So I'm really looking forward to the to the discussion we're gonna have today.Stuart Webb [00:00:42]:Alex, welcome to It's Not Rocket Science. Five questions over coffee.Alex Dumas [00:00:48]:Hey. Great morning, Stuart. Thank you for this invitation. Looking forward to this conversation.Stuart Webb [00:00:53]:Terrific. Well, look. Let's start with the the the the the reason that we're here, Alex. So who who are the people you're trying to help? You know, you've got an impressive CVU. You're working with some impressive people. Who who are those people that you're trying to help? What What's the the main problem they face in their business and personal lives?Alex Dumas [00:01:11]:Yeah. Great question. A lot of my work has been centered around black executive men, BIPOC leaders of color. So sometimes they're in the corporate spaces. Sometimes they're entrepreneurs, so they're coaches, consultants, things of that nature. And there's some specific challenges that they're having. Some of them look like this Webb leaders, in this case, can feel isolated. They can feel lonely because they may be the only one in the room that looks like them.Alex Dumas [00:01:37]:They may be going to boardrooms or having these conversations in c suite, and they're they're trying to crack over get in that room or if they're they're already in there, they're like, well, I'm the only one here. Maybe I'm not gonna be respected. Maybe I'm not gonna be, accepted, which is a big challenge. They have this fear of failure. Right? They're carrying this pressure of, I have to succeed so that generations down the line have opportunities too, and I'm a big proponent of that. I I really believe in making sure we focus on the generational impact, but not to the degree where it sabotages ourselves, where we harm ourselves to to be perfect, to get everything right because, Stuart, if you're like me, you make mistakes. You you flub, you you you mess up things, and then you regroup and recover. And, unfortunately, out here in America, there is that challenge of if you do mess up, if you're a person of color, then there's that stigma attached.Alex Dumas [00:02:39]:Like, oh, maybe he wasn't good enough. Maybe she wasn't smart enough, maybe we rushed her into this promotion, maybe he's not really built for this yet. And so there is that pressure to to perform, but at the same time, I look at helping them expand their dreams. Right? The dreams of this generational impact of breaking these generational curses of achieving these the financial freedom that is vital for our lives. So if someone says, hey. Money's not important. Like, let's just get back into reality for a second. Money is pretty important to support a lifestyle and and support different ventures that they five.Alex Dumas [00:03:22]:And and really the the the big dream is embracing their authenticity. Right? JustStuart Webb [00:03:30]:Mhmm.Alex Dumas [00:03:30]:Being themselves, showing up, and feeling the weight release, feeling the feeling the pressure gone, and they know that they can do their best work without this this weight on them. So those are the type of things that I work on with clients and one on one are in groups, and these are the secret dreams, the secret fears that sometimes they don't wanna admit, but it's there. That's it's what gets in the way most times of really breaking through ascending to a neck to their next level of success.Stuart Webb [00:04:01]:Alex, tell me, you you've talked talked passionately there about, you know, getting away from some of those sort of barriers that that that inhibit. I know I know you must look at some of these leaders and think, well, you know, these are the things you're doing wrong, and I'll I'll get to that in a minute. But how did you overcome some of those, some of those problems yourself? How did you manage to break through from where you were into where you are now?Alex Dumas [00:04:37]:Yeah. Good question. There's a combination of things. 1, I would say coaching was one of the big maybe maybe the biggest influence of helping me just see life differently because I came from a background of middle middle class, you know, youngest of 4 children. So I'd like to say that my parents saved the best for last, But I grew up not feeling important, feeling invisible, being in different spaces where I didn't feel heard, I didn't feel seen. And what I saw is the differences, the quality of questions I would ask myself when I was younger, going into young adulthood, all these different things. I would ask myself questions five, why is life this way? Why can't I have this? Why isn't this meant for me or why can't I be here? Those aren't bad questions, but what I found was a space to ask myself empowering questions. Questions like, well, what do I wanna create from this? What do I wanna choose to do here? Who's available or what is available that can help me and that can serve me? How can I contribute? Right? That helps that's helped me move forward.Alex Dumas [00:05:43]:So coaching and and mentorship has been a big part and, obviously, the other big revelation or the the big influence in my life has been my wife. My wife, Sarah, we've been together now for 18 years, married for 14, and she is one of the first people outside of my family, you know, and and friends, but someone who really helped me anchor and ground myself and see possibility. And I like to say it like this, if I could see a possibility that I could be in the possibility. If I don't see an option, if I don't believe that there's an opportunity for me, then the obstacles are just gonna be all I see. That's gonna be in front of my face, and I won't be able to advance.Stuart Webb [00:06:29]:That's great news. That's great. Jules, just giving you a a big big big up big up there, Alex, with with Go Alex. So I'm pleased. Jules, thank you for watching in. So we we were talking a little bit about some of the the leaders you're trying to help. Tell me, you know, what is it they've done before they sort of turn to the sort of advice, coaching that you can bring to them and help them? How have they tried to effectively, how have they tried to solve their own problem?Alex Dumas [00:07:00]:Yeah. They they've gone down a road that I've gone down when I was in nonprofit leadership for for 10 years where, 1, I would say they would try too hard. Right? Just try to force, like I mentioned before, the the pressure, they might look like working long hours, less sleep, kinda getting on the grind, you know, 5 AM wake up, 2 2 AM, go to sleep. Right? And just having this unhealthy attachment and and really addiction to trying to be successful in sacrificing time with family, sacrificing their own health journey, sacrificing if they're a person of faith or spiritual practice. Right? Because they have to get it done. They have to achieve it. They have to make the thing happen. Another challenge that I see for them and and I laugh because this is this is my life for many years of not asking for help of I should know this already.Alex Dumas [00:07:56]:I'm in this position. If I ask, then someone's gonna know that I don't know the answer, and then I look Stuart, and then they don't trust me and right? All these things that we make up in our heads, and that's that breeds resentment. That breeds gossiping. And some workplace things are are real. You know, you might hear the term microaggressions. You might hear the term, you know, I can't think of the other words right now, but just stay Webb you on this. Right? The resentment, the gossiping, and that energy attaches itself to you. Right? If I'm thinking about this manager, I don't like her Webb don't like him.Alex Dumas [00:08:37]:He's always doing this to me. Right? We come back into this victim place. This is where Mhmm. The the men I've and and clients I've worked with, that's where they struggle the most when they're putting their attention on what this person's doing and what they're up to and how they affected them. And, really, let's not victim blame. Right? It's not shame, but they take responsibility. What am I doing? Who am I being? Where am I coming from when I'm in this process or in this scenario?Stuart Webb [00:09:07]:Yeah. Yeah. I it's true, isn't it? We we so often, and I I see this with with with business leaders. They're they're focusing on, you know, what is it they're doing and and and they they choose to respond in a negative way to something. And you sort of say, well, the the the choice was entirely yours. You can choose 1 of 2 paths, and you always seem to choose the one that's somehow destructive to yourself. It is about taking that choice and making that that decision to say no. You know, like you said, your wife helped you to see if there's a if there's a path that will take take you better.Stuart Webb [00:09:46]:Take the path that will take you better. Even if somebody else is doing something, don't worry about it. You have to choose that path.Alex Dumas [00:09:53]:Yeah. It doesn't diminish it. It doesn't I I say it like this from the stage. Just because you can do anything doesn't mean you have to do everything.Stuart Webb [00:10:01]:Yes. Agreed. Absolutely.Alex Dumas [00:10:03]:Watching, someone listening, I want you to really, like, put a finger in your ear so it doesn't go out and doesn't go in and go out the other. Right? You can do anything. Yeah. You're you're more than capable. You're highly qualified. You have track record of success, but recognize there's over people in those space who can serve you, that can help you, that can actually get you there faster than you can do on your own and with more ease and with grace. And at the end of the day, who doesn't wanna have more fun in the success process? Right? This in our on our destination. It doesn't have to be this, oh, goodness.Alex Dumas [00:10:39]:I gotta do it all myself, and I'm self made. Nobody that I've ever met has been self made. And if they are, then they won't admit it because they're probably in the self destructive mode, and they can't see it.Stuart Webb [00:10:52]:Yeah. I love that, Alex. I really do love that. And I I suppose, my own journey, I I was a scientist long before I started out in business and I worked out very early on that I, you know, I was standing on the shoulders of giants because they'd come before me and worked out principles that I was just gonna extend. And, you know, so I've never ever understood this belief that somehow to be successful, you have to be self made because as far as I can see, we're all standing we're all standing on somebody else's, successes and somebody else's movement. And even if you only add a a small amount to that, as long as you add in the right way, that takes you forward. It takes everybody forward. You can lift you can lift everybody out.Stuart Webb [00:11:34]:I I do find it disappointing that people don't see that they can actually sort of, take that take the take take the positives and and move things forward. Let let's just turn to to to one of the sorry. Go ahead.Alex Dumas [00:11:50]:No. I was gonna stow this analogy out where someone told this to me long time ago about this principle of of being self made and doing it all yourself. And they asked me, it was, how how many people does it take to make a peanut butter jelly sandwich? And my initial response is like, oh, it's me. I just take the bread and I'm so, like, well, did you eat the bread? Did you package it? Did you do all these things? Did how'd you did you, were you the blacksmith that that forged the knife, the butter knife? Right? So there's a lot more out there. There's a lot more people who are contributing to your success than you believe.Stuart Webb [00:12:24]:Absolutely brilliant. Love the analogy. Love the analogy. Have you got a a valuable piece of advice? And I'm sort of gonna put, that your your website here. Have you got a valuable piece of advice or something that you'd leave with people that you can you can direct them to that that would help them in their journey to to take on some of the stuff you talking about?Alex Dumas [00:12:47]:Yeah. One of the things I would share with them is, free audio that I've recorded. It's called everybody wins 3 mistakes that leaders make, and it kinda touches on some of the things we spoke about earlier where the the pressure to perform, the the loneliness, the the hiding, the not asking for help, these are the things that get in the way of making innovative change of what Five looked to call generational impact and and uplifting communities. And this is a free audio gift. It's something I give away when I talk, so another way that I can be of use is come book me to speak for your team, for your organization. WiTalk is the win win communicator. It's a new way for leaders to listen, and it's it's coming from a place of not necessarily the tools of, like, you gotta actively listen and make sure you I really look at it from the space of, like, your state of being. Who are you when you're listening to people? What are the biases that you're holding? What are the what's the chatter inside of you that is blocking you from connecting with somebody? And and one of my signature phrases that I love to say is build a bigger bubble, and this kinda goes into the the premise of doing you could do anything, but not you don't have to do everything.Alex Dumas [00:13:59]:So building a bigger bubble meaning expanding, having a dream, having a vision so big that your team, your your your family, anybody around you can see themselves inside of it, and they actually start to champion you. They start to advocate. They start to be your evangelist of, man, this is where we're going. This is what we're doing. Who doesn't love following somebody or being on a journey with somebody who's got who's up to something big. Right? Who's up to a a huge a huge bigger larger than life vision, and it might seem impossible, but it's only impossible till we do it.Stuart Webb [00:14:34]:Brilliant. I've put the the link, to to that, which is on your website. I'll just read it out for those people who are unable at the moment to to to write anything down, but this will be in the show notes, people. It's a h t t p s colon forward slash for effect, www. Alexander Dumas coaching. That's that's obviously Alexander Dumas. He he can probably work at.Alex Dumas [00:14:55]:But but I do Alex on. Like, I'm I'm after yeah. After the Alexander Dumas.Stuart Webb [00:15:00]:Yeah. Alexand dumascoaching.comforward/f/ everybody hyphen wins. So that's alexdumascoaching.com/f/everybodywins. That'll be in the the the the show notes. Go and download that that, that that that audio. It's a free piece of content Alex gives away. So, Alex, thank you for that. Alex, it was there a particular book or a program that, that that that that that that you would leave as a a valuable, valuable thought, that sort of started you thinking about this? You've mentioned your wife.Stuart Webb [00:15:35]:There are other things that must have sort of begun to sort of make you the man you are today.Alex Dumas [00:15:42]:Yes. Yeah. Thank you. One speech in particular comes to my mind is from Les Brown. It's his famous, you gotta be hungry. Right? Yeah. Because I think he was he was in the Georgia Dome. It was some sometime probably in, like, in the late eighties, maybe early nineties, and it's a speech that Five first watched probably 2014, maybe 2015, and it to me, in my opinion, is the best speech I've ever seen, ever written, like, I've, to this day.Alex Dumas [00:16:13]:Right? I still come to it, and I still find inspiration from it. I still find nuggets from it. So that as part of an audio and seeing myself, right, seeing that model then and having this vision, this dream for myself of maybe I could do that. What would it be five if I were in front of a stadium full of people? You know, MetLife Stadium. I'm from New York originally, so I think about Giant Stadium. Like, wow. What would it be like if I could be there or Madison Square Garden? So that's one piece of content. The other book that I would say has greatly influenced my work as coaches called The Prosperous Coach that's was written by Steve Chandler and Rich Lipman, and it helped me it it connected with me in a space that it helped me slow down and look at authentic connections with people.Alex Dumas [00:16:59]:Because a lot of my early work as a coach was kind of spray and pray, kinda hunt and try to kill and get attention, look at me, and and be impressive. And what I recognize is the distinction of me being impressed Stuart doesn't allow this other person to be expressive. And when the when I work with clients, when I work with people, the thing they really want the most to know is just, do you understand me? Do you get me? Do you see me? Do you understand where I'm coming from? And if I can do that and create a safety for themselves to, you know, just kind of share a little bit more and shed the skin and get the pretenses on them, really get down to who they are and what they're they're looking to do. Miracles occur. That's the best I can call. So Prosper's Coach and that Les Brown talk, you gotta be hungry have been 2 massively influential pieces of content that have shaped who I am.Stuart Webb [00:17:51]:Alex, thank you so much. Alex, thank you for spending a few minutes with us. And I guess at the moment, you must be thinking there's a question that he hasn't asked and you really should five asked it by now. So what's the question that I should have asked you? And, obviously, if you were gonna ask a really intelligent question like that, you better give us a really good answer to it. So what is the question that you would don't think that I have asked properly?Alex Dumas [00:18:15]:Now this point isn't your fault specifically, but I think a good question that right. I'm gonna put the blame game on. But, all jokes aside, I think the I think the valuable question here would be, how do we help black leaders, black and brown leaders, ascend? Right? I think that's a great question that could be asked, and lucky for you, I have an answer for that. And that specifically is a 1 on 1 container that I I I've created called Ascension. So play on words. You can be like, oh my goodness, Alex. You're cheeky. Yeah.Alex Dumas [00:18:51]:Alright. I'm clever. I love to do fun things like that. But Ascension is this it's a 12 week intimate conversation with somebody and looking at helping them advance in their career and helping them to develop themselves as leaders, helping them to build the best practices of building relationships and and networking and building their confidence and looking at their life's work. I don't necessarily subscribe to this thought of work five balance because here I am right now, I'm speaking with you, Stuart. That means I'm ignoring my family. I'm ignoring my kids, Not because I'm bad or I'm a, you know, mean dad, but because my attention is focused on you and my work and also for you, whoever's watching, whoever's listening. My impact right now, I'm focused on you.Alex Dumas [00:19:38]:And then when I'm done, I'll be complete, and I'll move on to my family. But the things we've spoken up beef about before about how do we make impact, how do we embrace ourselves authentically, how do we create financial freedom, these are pieces of what Ascension looks like, and it's gonna be this elite edge for black men in business. This opportunity for them to just have that that thing, that one thing that separates them. I don't wanna say the competition, but separates them from holding themselves back and and it's a a beautiful offering that I five to invite anyone listening to to experience for themselves and create major major awareness and breakthroughs for their life and their business. So that's how we can help people ascend.Stuart Webb [00:20:26]:Alex, I love I love I love the fact that you've been cheeky about that, and thank you for having a clever answer to a to a question that I didn't didn't ask properly. So, Alex, I really wanna thank you for spending a few minutes with us. I know now you can go and take your focus off talking to silly people like me, and you can go and concentrate on something important like your family and your kids. And, I know you've got 2 2 kids, I think, haven't you? So you can get out there and you can you can go and enjoy your time with them rather than be, rather than be focusing on us. But thank you for spending a few minutes with us and telling us a bit about how you have, overcome those thought processes and how you're helping others to do exactly the same thing to to plow that fat path. Listen, people. I'm gonna wrap up with Alex now because he's got other things to do. If you would like to hear from, from me every week with a with an update on who's coming on to the show next week.Stuart Webb [00:21:21]:I send out one every week. And if you wanna do that, if you can go to the HTTP thing, link.thecompleteapproach.co.uk. That's link.thecompleteapproach.co.uk forward slash newsletter. You can come on and, spend a few minutes, just listening to really inspiring talking points from people as inspiring as Alex. And, Alex, I wanna just thank you, for coming on and spending a few minutes. Really appreciate the effort you've taken, and, I wish you I wish you get out and spend some time with your kids because, they're as important as anything else you you're doing at the moment.Alex Dumas [00:22:02]:No. Much appreciated. And I'll say this, there's nothing been silly about this conversation. I love the questions. I love your energy, and thank you for inviting me onto this program and for my work. If this is influential, this is supporting, you know, at least over person. Alright? That that sounds like a cliche, but, really, if it helps moves one person, then I've done my job. I've I've served in a way that I know how to do best, and I'm gonna spend some time with the family then get back to doing what I do best, making a difference, and contributing.Stuart Webb [00:22:33]:I'm with you on that, Alex. If we can help one person, that's Webb person that we've, we've pushed a little bit further. And who knows? They will take the they they will take us on further. So thank you very much for spending 8 minutes with us.Alex Dumas [00:22:45]:You're welcome. Thank you. Get full access to It's Not Rocket Science! at thecompleteapproach.substack.com/subscribe

Jon and Les have recommended The Prosperous Coach by Rich Litvin and Steve Chandler as much as any other resource. In this episode, Les talks about why they're so high on the book. It's one thing to be able to coach someone, something that many pastors are great at. It's something else to actually make money coaching. In the Prosperous coach, Litvin and Chandler discuss how to have powerful conversations with potential clients and how to have conversations about paid coaching without feeling salesy or needy.

Neil Mackinnon describes himself as a curious human, and his curiosity has guided him throughout a remarkable career in which he has been immersed in creative projects, surrounded by creative people, and focussed on creative potential.Crucially, he has also spent a great deal of his life listening and being truly present to what has occurred around him, and these qualities aided a sense of catharsis and newfound aliveness when he first experienced coaching.Neil is one of the new hosts of The Coach's Journey Podcast, and in this episode he gets to the heart of why coaching has become such a prominent focus of a life in which he has worked as a professional musician, a creative producer for Europe's largest centre for the arts, and now as a faculty member at the Academy of Executive Coaching.He explains how skilful coaches helped him access the power and potential of coaching to overcome profound challenges in his work, and how coaching appealed to his sense of adventure and his disposition as a man fascinated by all industries, all people, and all walks of life. In this episode, we also talk about:How to choose a coaching organisation to train withThe hidden messages that lie within our resistance to coachingBuilding autonomy through your locus of controlThe profound potency of core coaching competenciesCoaching as a relational business, in which your network really matters Neil, who has his own podcast called Creative Practice, also speaks to the deeper work of coaching, and the change that becomes possible when we find the courage to step into our shadow.For more information about Neil, visit https://neilmackinnon.net/For information about Robbie's wider work, his writing or to buy his books, visit www.robbieswale.com.Music by My Good Man William: listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4KmeQUcTbeE31uFynHQLQgTo support the Coach's Journey, visit www.patreon.com/thecoachsjourney and to join the Coach's Journey Community visit www.thecoachsjourney.com/community.

This sparked a journey of discovery that led to his initial coach training and building coaching skills into his style of leadership.He now splits his time between his private coaching practice and a part time faculty position at the Academy of Executive Coaching, a leading global coaching organisation offering executive coach training, coaching solutions, executive coaching certification.

Enrolling now for January start dates.***Where do you fall in the spectrum of going it alone versus getting valuable support to succeed in your coaching business?For some people taking no counsel is a matter of pride. Others have the privilege and perspective that anything worth doing is done better with expert support.I waffled between postponing my success by being a loner and wasting money on tactical group training like how to do email marketing and how to create an online training program. Coaches spend so much money on these group and online programs without the payoff. It comes down to two things missing — not having enough foundation for these tactics to work and not receiving enough private support. Is private support to build your coaching business worth it? What are the right reasons to hire a business mentor? Let's explore this. Rhonda Hess helps new coaches leverage their zone of genius into a profitable coaching niche and launch with confidence.

The very best coaches are the most coachable and today, the tables are turned as I put myself in the hands of one of the most experienced and successful coaches on the planet. I'm coached by Master Coach and author of the bestselling book The Prosperous Coach, Rich Litvin.  And we go deep. Really deep.  In this vulnerable episode, we break through ancestral patterns, unconscious commitments to our family and lineage, and what it takes to walk your unique path as a conscious, empowered, and sovereign being. We get vulnerable about the unseen weights we carry through life, familial patterns, and societal pressures that restrict women's freedom. I opened up about my own journey as the only daughter of the eldest daughter in a lineage of formidable matriarchs. The burdens that I've unconsciously carried to be the responsible one, care for others, and atone for my mother's wounds. Rich guides me to confront these binding promises passed down through generations of women in my family. We explored how I've tolerated situations that deplete my energy and override my body's wisdom. Rich's profound insights shook me to my core and brought light to patterns that no longer serve me.  If you feel called to cut energetic ties to familial burdens passed down through generations so that you can liberate yourself to become more of who you truly are, this soul-stirring discussion is for you. EPISODE INSIGHTS: The heavy burdens placed on the matriarchs and daughters in lineages. How our caretakers and childhood role models pass down toxic patterns of behavior unconsciously Breaking ancestral ties to walk your own path The lack of rites of passage for women (and the importance of having them) How our bodies remember everything and can still carry familial tension from our ancestors The importance of healing forward, not trying to fix the past HIGHLIGHT QUOTES: "There's a heaviness to what the women in all of our lineages have had to carry." Rich Litvin “There's a part of me that feels that I should carry extra because I have the capacity to.” Celinne Da Costa "When we do the work for ourselves, there's healing that goes on in all sorts of other ways." Rich Litvin “It's okay to set myself free from the obligation that I thought I had to carry." Celinne Da Costa “No matter how powerful the person I'm speaking to, I can find those places where they're lacking in power, where they're pretending they have power, or where they have more power than they know.” Rich Litvin BUSINESS BY SOUL Are you feeling the magnetic pull in your soul to build a purpose-driven business that fulfills your highest potential?

Lindsey Lewis was a sensitive child. “The one crying about the bird that fell out of the nest,” as she puts it.Her intimate connection to living things was a challenge early in her life, but in this episode of The Coach's Journey Podcast she describes how she harnessed the power of her sensitivity to become a passionate, brave and creative coach.Throughout her life as a magazine editor, communications consultant and now as the owner of a thriving coaching business, she has always taught and practiced yoga. She explains the importance of physical bodily awareness to the phenomenal energy she beckons into her coaching sessions.The power of an invitation is a key theme in this episode, and Lindsey explains how she learned to instigate and lead interactions that recognise and reflect the value of what she has to offer her clients.Our conversation comes at an exciting time and Lindsey discusses her work on a documentary that will showcase the work of brilliant people seeking to make positive change in the world – something she is well-placed to promote. In this episode, we talk about:Easeful conversationsBeing ‘on path' and what that can do for our health and our workHow to create timely invitations to engageThe terrifying, transformative thrill of group experiencesHow the way we do one thing is the way we do everythingLindsey has a wonderful way of describing the call to adventure, and how to overcome resistance to those ideas that just won't leave us alone.She also outlines what she has learned about the skills that every coach needs to build a successful coaching business:Being her professional selfInvitationsInitial conversationsProposalsNavigating what comes after the proposalsShe generously shares practical tips and advice on each one.To learn more about me, visit https://www.robbieswale.com/, and to learn more about Lindsey, visit https://imlindseylewis.com/coaching/ For information about my wider work, my writing or to buy my books, visit www.robbieswale.com.Music by My Good Man William: listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4KmeQUcTbeE31uFynHQLQgTo support the Coach's Journey, visit www.patreon.com/thecoachsjourney and to join the Coach's Journey Community visit www.thecoachsjourney.com/community.

I get asked this question all of the time in my group training programs so I thought it would be really fun and helpful to share it today with you. I know that often people think that the perfect marketing strategy or shiny new website will get you a whole heap of new clients but it's just one piece in a pie. You can have the most amazing marketing, but if you provide a terrible customer experience, your clients feel incredibly stressed working with you, all the payments are clunky, and your clients can't get in touch with someone - marketing will actually kill your business as fast as it grows. So today, I'm going to be sharing with you my experiences, how I've been trained and how I train my clients to think when looking for different places to find and enrol new clients. We'll go through how elements of high tech and high touch businesses can complement each other and 14 different ways to find new clients and start creating a customer experience. The first 10 don't even have anything to do with having the perfect marketing strategy or your message being super clear or designing the perfect website. I didn't have any of that for the first 4 years of my business, and when I got really caught up in needing to have that, my business drastically slowed down. I stopped doing all of the things that made my business work, like going out and having fun - I learned it's all about doing that combination of both high touch and high tech. In today's social media it often seems like you need to be the loudest and put so much of yourself out there…literally. But it's often the quiet, consistent things that make the biggest difference in people trusting and knowing you and feeling comfortable, safe and excited to work with you. Resources mentioned: The Prosperous Coach by Rich Litvan and Steve ChandlerLINKS:Check out my free Weekly Review Spreadsheet hereThe Fierce Salon - https://www.thefiercesalon.com/Website: https://hayleycarr.tv/

Referrals are such a powerful way to land clients. If you've read "The Prosperous Coach" by Rich Litvin and Steve Chandler or listened to the Referral Marketing Guru podcast with Michael Griffiths, you know what referrals can do for your business. Though referrals are powerful, they aren't the only way to leverage an endorsement for your business. There are many other ways to use the influence of others to attract your ideal clients. On this episode, I want to give you 9 different ways to benefit from the influence of others to fill your pipeline with your ideal prospects. IDEAL CLIENTS Before you can attract your ideal clients, you need to know who they are and where you can find them. Grab my Ideal Listener Development worksheet to get a clear idea of whom we are attracting. Download it at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/listener. Who is your ideal client? What do you love about working with them? Which influencers already have the attention of your ideal client? You can't hit a target you can't see. Complete the Listener Development Worksheet to get the answers to these questions and more. It will help you find your clients. GROWTH EQUATION There are two sides of the equation to grow your audience. You need to get new listeners. Then, you need to keep your current listeners coming back episode after episode. If you only focus on attracting new listeners, it is like putting water in a bucket with holes in the bottom. The bucket will never fill. It won't matter how much you add, because it is leaking out as fast as you add it. What are you doing to keep your listeners pushing play? KEEP THEM There are three things you can do to keep listeners coming back again and again. First, effectively tease the next episode at the end of each show. Don't simply promote the next episode. Create some anticipation. Make them want to come back for your amazing content. Think movie trailer. Get your listeners to say, "I gotta hear that." Next, email your list each time you release a new episode. Again, effectively tease the content by creating some intrigue. Saying, "We interview Bob Smith" isn't nearly enough to get people to listen. Open a loop that can only be closed by listening to the episode. Hint at something in the episode. "This week, Bob Smith tells us how he turned his hobby into a million-dollar business." Finally, post your new episode on social media each time you release. Let your followers know there is new content available. THE CHALLENGE When coaches come to me for help, they are typically struggling to grow the audience and monetize their show. I first ask, "How are you promoting the show?" The typical response is posting on social media and emailing the list. I definitely want you to keep doing that. But as we saw earlier, that is only half of the equation. How are you getting in front of people who aren't aware of you? Now that you've defined your ideal client, you know what influencers have your ideal client in their audiences. So, let's get in front of them. Here are 9 ways to get new listeners. REFERRALS Direct referrals are probably the most powerful. When someone you know recommends you to someone else, the weight that recommendation carries is immense. A guy in my mastermind just referred two people to me. When I talked with the first, he said he has heard great things about me and my knowledge. You can't buy advertising that powerful. The trust is built in. When a referral comes your way, you are already 2 steps down the sales path with your prospective client. Who can refer you? MASTERMIND The second way to get clients is through masterminds. This doesn't necessarily need to be your mastermind. You can speak to other masterminds. These groups are typically looking for speakers. My last client came from speaking to a mastermind. I am in a high-end group of movers and shakers. One of the women in that group runs a mastermind of speakers. She invited me to speak to the group. That particular gathering had 6 people present. One of those members became a high-end client for me. Masterminds are filled with people who understand the value of investing in resources that will help them. That's the magic of tapping into masterminds. SUMMITS The next resource you can tap into is summits. Summits are like online conferences. These online events are typically multi-day affairs. Most are between 3 and 5 days long with 6 or 8 speakers a day. Because there are so many speakers, the title of your presentation really needs to stand out in order to get people to show up for you. There may not be many people present for your talk. But, you don't need many to land a client. You can also benefit in the long run if the host is recording the presentations for VIP attendees. I'll speak at any summit. I love presenting, so it isn't a big deal. It is convenient and easy when it is online. Many summit hosts know I can be available at the last minute, so they will call me if a speaker backs out. Even if the summit topic isn't perfect for me, showing up at the last minute gets me in the good graces of the host and gives me practice with my presentation. Never turn down the opportunity to get on a mic. EVENTS The fourth way to get in front of new clients is appearing at events. There are a variety of event options. You can present at networking events. Conferences are always looking for great speakers. Companies and organizations will often hold events that need speakers. I have landed a few clients speaking at networking events. But more importantly, I've connected with influencers during these events who can put me in front of my ideal clients. Find events where your influencers congregate. GROUPS The next idea you can use is groups. This includes both groups you're in and other groups like civic organizations. One of my recent clients is a member of a training and coaching group I am in. The trainer asks us a lot of questions. So naturally, other members of the group learn what I do and how I operate. We practice making our offer in the group. Other members get to know me and understand the value I deliver my clients. In nearly every group I am in, somebody will say, "Erik, we need to talk. I need exactly what you have." Be proud of what you offer, and help others every chance you can. Don't sell. Offer help and guidance. The clients will come. PODCASTS The sixth idea is most effective to grow your audience. Get on other podcasts. I know it sounds obvious. Podcast listeners listen to podcasts. If you want to attract podcast listeners, go where they are. Sure, it sounds logical. But, are you doing it? Find podcasts that attract your ideal client. It doesn't necessarily need to be in your niche. If you're a weight loss podcast, find an exercise podcast. If you're a podcast about launching businesses, find an accounting podcast. Same audience, different topic. ASSOCIATIONS Next, find association meetings. Many professionals belong to associations. Speakers, doctors, broadcasters, unions. The association has money to hire you as a speaker. The members have money to hire you as a coach. If you work closely with a profession or specific niche, find an association around that niche. Offer to speak at their meeting. Maybe you can sponsor their fundraiser. Partner with them around their favorite charity. Promote their membership drive. There are many ways associations can put you in front of their members. NEWSLETTERS The eighth way to get in front of new clients is by appearing in newsletters. Every niche has newletters. Offer to write for the newsletter. Advertise in it. Be an expert and resource for their articles. I once wrote a regular article for the New Media Expo blog and newsleter. This is how Dave Jackson over at the School of Podcasting discovered me and we became friends. That was 10 years ago. Appearing in a newsletter will give you credibility by association. People see you in print and you automatically have authority. Where can you be a guest contributor? FACEBOOK GROUPS Finally, use Facebook lives. Reach out to the owners of the groups you're in. See if they will host you. Add value when you are in there. Don't just sell. Marc Mawhinney runs the Coaching Jungle Facebook group. There are around 25,000 people in that group. Marc will often host Facebook lives with his JV partners in his Facebook group. How would you like to be in front of 25,000 people in your niche? That's the power of Facebook lives in these groups. You need to be good. And, you need to offer a ton of value for the owner to be willing to put you in the group. ATTRACT CLIENTS Make the most of your appearance with any of these ideas. Many people are surprised when I tell them to offer a lead magnet to the audience rather than inviting them to listen to the podcast. If people come to your podcast and listen without subscribing, and they never come back, they are gone forever. You have no way to contact them again. When you offer a free resource to get people on your mailing list, you can invite them to listen to your podcast each time you release a new episode. You can email them for every episode until they unsubscribe. Once they are on your list, nurture your list and convert them clients. WORKSHOP Have you seen my latest workshop? It is coming up soon.

In this episode of The Coach's Journey Podcast, I invited a true master of the art of listening to interview me about my own journey and the transformations that have happened – and continue to happen – along the way.Raquel Ark, the founder of listening ALCHEMY, deftly opens up a conversation in which I share what it was like to realise that my life was not what I wanted it to be, and how the pain of that realisation prompted me to look at uncomfortable things.I now know that an experience being uncomfortable does not make it the wrong thing to do – and often, the opposite is true.Raquel makes space for me to talk about how I discovered what is unusual and different about me, and how these things made me well suited to coaching.Our conversation hones in on the transformational power of being true to yourself, being aligned with your values, and letting that inform the outcomes that emerge. In this episode, we talk about:How Agile methodology guided a transformation in my life and careerGetting ourselves off the hook of the outcomeHow to feed our energy, and not drain itThe people who see our potential and help us reach itLeading with honour and putting all of you into your workHow to be successful without compromising your valuesI also talk about the meaning behind my resistance to partnerships in a conversation that allows me to simultaneously discover and share insights into my development as a person and as a practitioner.To learn more about me, visit https://www.robbieswale.com/, and to learn more about Raquel, visit https://listeningalchemy.com/ For information about my wider work, my writing or to buy my books, visit www.robbieswale.com.Music by My Good Man William: listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4KmeQUcTbeE31uFynHQLQgTo support the Coach's Journey, visit www.patreon.com/thecoachsjourney and to join the Coach's Journey Community visit www.thecoachsjourney.com/community.

How can we truly evolve?

Alina is a very courageous woman, with a 20 year career in high level finance behind her. She was a Managing Director at Rothschild & Co, responsible for €3 billion of assets under management. She's a also a mother, raising a high-functioning autistic son. "If you only read one book on coaching, you have to read The Prosperous Coach..." That's what Alina's friend said to her. And, only a couple of years later, it's why Alina is now a member of 4PC, my exclusive community of high-level leaders. And as Alina asks me for advice on her book, I come from the premise that the sole purpose of her book should be to create something that has her dream clients say "If you only read one book on leadership, you have to read The Audacity Spectrum..."

I wrote The Prosperous Coach, with my friend Steve Chandler, almost 10 years ago—and it has stood the test of time. It has been in the top 20 books about coaching on Amazon ever since it was published. It's sold over 75,000 copies and it continues to sell 1,000 copies a month. Now, we wrote that book 10 years ago and much has changed in the world in that time. We wrote The Prosperous Coach to be a timeless book but that doesn't mean that we can't add new ideas and distinctions. In this short episode, I share some of my very latest thinking—in what I call Prosperous Coach 2.0. Love. Rich P.S. For most of human history, it wasn't called coaching. It was called leadership.

Last year I was totally delighted to appear on a podcast called The Coach's Compass, giving me an opportunity to dive deep into all things coaching with host Clark Luby.In the episode, Clark - a listener to The Coach's Journey - turns my favourite starter question back on me by asking me to recall when I first came across coaching, and that takes me back to a crucial juncture in my life and career.From there, we talk through the support structures and containers that helped me through early coaching challenges such as finding clients and talking about money, and I offer up some practical tools that can help you to establish the kind of coach you really want to be, factoring in the styles of coaching you admire and personalities you aspire to emulate.We also explore the importance of Rich Litvin's work to the evolution of coaching and to my own practice, and I share one of the exercises he taught me that led me to do some of my best work.In this episode, we talk about:The shift that happens after your first attempt at being an adultMaking the process of your work something that you really enjoyBeing a player in the game of your businessThe point at which coaching businesses start to carry themselves forwardHow to stay authentic while taking influence from other coachesWhy I think it's okay to steal from people*We also talk about the best times to break the rules of coaching, or the rules of anything for that matter!To hear other episodes of the Coach's Compass Podcast, visit https://thecoachscompass.libsyn.com/For information about my wider work and writing, visit www.robbieswale.com, and to buy my book, click here.Join the WBECS Free Pre-Summit: https://share.coaching.com/6d3qN2Music by My Good Man William: listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4KmeQUcTbeE31uFynHQLQgTo support the Coach's Journey, visit www.patreon.com/thecoachsjourney and to join the Coach's Journey Community visit www.thecoachsjourney.com/community.

This episode is inspired by all the coaches out there heartfully doing things every day to attract ideal coaching clients and help them transform. Find the full transcript for this 181st free episode of Prosperous Coach podcast at prosperouscoach.com/181Last week, a coach asked me to review the content she was putting out to attract paying clients — her podcast episodes, social posts and presentations. Her business hadn't reliably taken off yet and she wondered if she was on the right track.It's smart to take a step back and look dispassionately at everything.I was super impressed by her discipline. It was clear to me that she was DOING all the right things – daily social posting, building her network on LinkedIn, publishing an episode every week and getting in front of her audience with presentations.Technically, everything was on track. She had all the processes down. She was taking all the right steps with admirable dedication.What's Missing in Your Coaching Content?But there was something missing from most of her content … connection.You know … not just words but words that land. Not just topics but topics that are top-of-mind for her audience. And not just words and topics but relating to the audience.I want you to know this is a mistake a lot of coaches made. And, it took me a long time to figure out that just putting out content wouldn't help me have a financially successful business.It's time to develop yourself as a savvy and authentic marketer. I know, I know you don't want to market. Who does? But marketing effectively is simply about connecting on a level that your audience responds to.Marketing Connects Your Ideal Coaching Client to YouMarketing is not an evil thing. You don't have to lie or manipulate to attract clients. It's about connecting the dots between you and your ideal audience. Create a beautiful customer journey for the right people to find you and the right people to connect with you. Your ideal clients. Your people. What Seth Godin calls your tribe. Check out episode 69 to learn about creating a customer journey.The way that most coaches market is dry, soulless and lacks insight into their audience. And that's only because the coach hasn't put a focus on their audience.Let's talk about the first 3 developmental stages of a successful coach for a minute …1.     First, there's learning the skills and model of coaching. Some coaches stop here.2.     Then, there's learning how to develop a solid foundation for your coaching business. This isn't trivial. It's what I do with my VIP clients in my 5 month mentoring program Coaching Business Breakthrough. Some coaches skip over most of this. They throw up a website, try to sell coaching and flounder.3.     Then, there's learning how to speak to your audience in a way they can hear. The truth is it's not possible to attract paying clients without this. Personally, I love this last part. I'm fascinating by human beings. I like to understand them. And I want to have a relationship with my target audience not just sell them stuff. Are you ready for the 3rd stage of development as a coach? You do need the 2nd stage first, by the way.

At the end of last year I published a book called How to Start When You're Stuck, and since then I have found myself seeing everything through the frame the book presents.My book is about overcoming resistance, procrastination and fear through something I call 'The 12-Minute Method', and in this episode of The Coach's Journey Podcast I bring this idea into focus.I go back to the very start of my journey as a writer, to when I would find myself paralysed with my finger hovering over the 'post' button.You'll hear me describe five key principles for building your own 12-minute method and how maintaining a practice, forming habits, and committing to those things over time can lead to magical outcomes.Having applied the 12-Minute Method while I created it, I can now advise people how to build a 12-minute practice for their coaching business, and that is covered here, along with a lot of what I've learned about the Prosperous Coach approach and the developed thinking I've done around that.In this episode, I talk about:How to combine the 12-minute method with the Prosperous Coach to grow your coaching businessWhat I would recommend if I had to choose a 12-minute practice for coaches who want to grow their businessHow to nurture an authenticity practice that touches every aspect of your workSome specific 12-minute practices that you might choose, including the one I recommend most of allWhat represents real success, and how to identify it for yourselfI also talk about the impact that not starting something that you want to do can have on your life, and how that can be a vital driving factor in starting when you are stuck.Ultimately, this episode is about exploring who we want to become, how we become what we practise, and how we are always practising something.For information about my wider work and writing, visit www.robbieswale.com, and to buy his book, click here.Music by My Good Man William: listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4KmeQUcTbeE31uFynHQLQgTo support the Coach's Journey, visit www.patreon.com/thecoachsjourney and to join the Coach's Journey Community visit www.thecoachsjourney.com/communityThings and people we mentioned (that you might be interested in):- Mastering your personal brand https://www.robbieswale.com/mastering-your-personal-brand -

It's surprising to learn that one of Phil Goddard's earliest memories is of standing on the fringes of a playing field, away from everybody else, on his first day at infants' school.He has since focused his life and career on building intimacy and connection but he recalls that early memory with affection because, he says, it reminds him he has always been a people watcher, fascinated by what makes people tick.As a coach, speaker, leadership consultant and the host of The Coaching Life podcast, Phil works with entrepreneurs, company directors, bar workers, and parents among a client base united by their desire to enjoy life and experience joyful, easier relationships.In our conversation, Phil powerfully describes a shift in his own life and his relationship with himself; a shift from carefully avoiding regrets to being willing to take risks in order to live with more presence.Unafraid to challenge life's 'photoshopping' wherever he finds it, Phil speaks candidly about strong reactions he has faced in his pursuit of authenticity, and tells the incredible story that spawned the podcast he always introduces as ‘peeling back the bullcrap' of the coaching industry. In this episode, we talk about:How the island of Zakynthos, and its energy of love, helps Phil create clientsThe jaw-dropping experience of inauthenticity from a mentor that led to the creation of The Coaching LifeWhy it's unhealthy to aspire to a photoshopped image of the coaching professionHow the one thing that predicts the good times in Phil's business is his relationship with his businessWhat it's like to be you when you're not trying to be anybody - even yourselfHe is a staunch believer in living without a script, and that makes for a wonderfully open, honest discussion. And he is also an expert at speaking to coaches and about coaching, which makes this a really practical one, too.

Join Ajit Nawalkha as he has a conversation with Rich Litvin about entrepreneurship, coaching skills, and Rich's recent book “The Prosperous Coach”. Rich explains that in order to thrive in the coaching industry you must put in effort for a long period of time before feeling like it is working. Wishing for instant recognition without putting in work first is not how things are done, but the ones who persist are the ones who become masters. “You're not selling yourself; you're not even selling this thing called coaching. What you're selling is an opportunity for that person to work on their dreams and their dreams are priceless.” – Rich Litvin Rich also talks about some important and practical insights that new coaches tend to miss when trying to expand their businesses: connect – talk about what inspires you to cultivate relationships; invite – offer genuine help and be willing to help; create – offer services through chats and conversations; propose – tell the person what you do, how it looks like to work with you and fill them in on the details of your proposal.   About Rich Litvin Rich Litvin is a consultant, transformational coach, entrepreneur, and author. Running a leadership consultancy company, Rich works with high-performance world leaders through the method of powerful and impactful deep coaching. His book “The Prosperous Coach” was created with the intention of helping other coaches raise their income and empower more clients along the way.   Key Timestamps [2:11] – Rich talks about “The Prosperous Coach” and his writing process.
