Taking a break from coaching revealed the incredible support and trust of her clients, even during tough times.    Now she is back at her coaching business and is celebrating the recent launch of her new book, How to Feel Better: 4 Steps to Self-Coach Your Way to a Happier, More Authentic You. You can just tell that she poured her heart and soul into this book as she speaks about it.   Ruth combines evidence-based research to help readers actually integrate personal development work into their lives. Her book focuses on 4 questions that will actually spark transformation in your life. Ruth's self-coaching model is packed with invaluable tools for enhancing awareness and gaining perspective when you need it most.   We talk even more about her book, her journey of rapid growth in her business, and the valuable lessons she learned along the way. As well as what she has learned about overcoming self-doubt and so much more. This is really the episode for you if you have found yourself struggling with motivation to keep going in your business, have imposter syndrome, or have just felt a little off lately.    Ruth's story and coaching methodology will empower you to address challenges, find your authentic self, and step into the life you've always wanted.   Remember, you have the power to transform yourself and your business.

Last year I decided I wanted to train as a coach and develop my coaching practice, so I could work more deeply with my clients and help them get even better results. I chose to train with Optimus Coach Academy, founded by Ruth Kudzi and haven't looked back since. The 6 month training for my ACTP Professional Coach Diploma was phenomenal and I'm currently working towards completing my hours as an Associate Certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation. In this week episode I invited Ruth to not only talk about the coach training but also the social impact she is able to create through her successful businesses, why this is important to her and the power coaching can have to change the world.

How can we strengthen our role as leaders? Through coaching our team members, of course.  Coaching is a coveted leadership skill. And it's not hard to see why. Through coaching, leaders are able to support their teams and enhance their overall performance and engagement. Some companies use coaching models like GROW, but there's so much more to a coaching approach than a single model.

Her coaching certification program combines a variety of approaches including neuroscience, positive psychology, personality profiling, normative models, and transactional analysis. In this episode, Ruth and I discuss the coaching crisis in the UK that is caused by an influx of coaching programs that simply promise to make money quickly, and the increase of skeptical clients. Ruth talks about the importance of shifting your client's mindsets to improve the quality and integrity of your coaching program.  We discuss the ethics of selling and how to properly use, not abuse, these techniques, and when to say, “I cannot help you”. Ruth also shares some advice on how to build your first 10 clients. “If you're really going to change people's behavior, you have to go deeper because otherwise it's like just building a house with no foundation.

This week I'm speaking to my former mentor, Ruth Kudzi. Ruth works with established entrepreneurs who want to uplevel their mindset and strategy to scale, and also trains people to become certified coaches. When she went through coaching training herself she noticed a big gap - there was no training on how to actually get clients. She decided to build her own certified coaching academy using a variety of approaches which have a strong foundation in Psychology and Neuroscience, helping coaches build businesses they love so they can feel fulfilled and have financial reward.Ruth and I discuss:Why Ruth decided to shut down some of the most profitable parts of her businessThe three R's: referrals, reputation, and resultsWhy you don't need to have a complex funnel to be successfulOutsourcing and why you don't have to do it all to be authenticPushing your content towards what you want to monetizeScheduling self-care into your routine and committing to itRuth's new program, Spiral - an energetic clearing system based in neuroscienceRuth's Book Recommendation for the Ambitious Introvert: Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself: How to Lose Your Mind and Create a New One by Joe DispenzaConnect With Ruth:https://ruthkudzi.com/https://www.facebook.com/groups/thecoachescommunityRK/https://www.instagram.com/ruthkudzi/Connect with me:www.emmalouiseparkes.comInstagram: @emmalouparkesFacebook Group: The Ambitious Introvert Network

Welcome to the Cracking Content Podcast, helping entrepreneurs to amplify their expertise through storytelling, content and PR, so they can get more sales and make a bigger impact. Every business has a story to tell. Don't be afraid to tell it. In this episode, I'm interviewing Ruth Kudzi, who is a master level coach and coach trainer. Also, I've worked with her personally and I'm currently doing her coach training.  [0:47} I'm Ruth Kudzi. I'm a master level coach with the ICF, which is the highest level you can get. Business and mindset coach, coach trainer, podcaster and best-selling author. {1:38} The coach training business, we actually set it up at the end of 2019. Our first cohort went through in 2020.  {2:13} We're recruiting our third cohort in February. We've got three groups within that cohort. I'm super excited to see the people that are signing up, their experience, their skillset, and really get to know them because I would say the quality of people that we have on the course is amazing.  {3:24} So mentoring, you're leading by what you know, and coaching, you're working with a person to work out what's in their head. So actually combining mentoring with a coaching approach means that you're able to help your clients overcome their mindset issues and make more progress.  {4:19} I prefer doing content like podcasts or video. I used to love and will do it again, but I used to have days where I would just go in with my video guy and we'd literally do like six or seven videos in a day. And then he would get those all edited and upload them onto YouTube. We also then share those on our Facebook page, get them transcribed and then they become emails and they become content posts.  {6.48} Don't be afraid to make mistakes and learn from those mistakes. There's a thing that Tony Robbins says, “what if your worst day was actually your best day?”. So what if the worst thing happened and then you were able to learn so much and grow so much.  Ruth Kudzi is a MCC accredited and award-winning coach, coach trainer, business mentor, speaker and best-selling author.
