Mastering the craft of coaching

Hey Coach,

How many times have you shown up for a call feeling off, nervous, or having just had to deal with something troubling news and then felt distracted, anxious, or uneasy?

So the call isn’t as productive as you had wanted it to be.

Or worse the call is a total disaster.  You ask what feels like all the wrong questions or can’t come up with any at all.

I want you to know this happens to even the best coaches, but there is a really simple hack to avoid it happening to you.

It’s knowing how to ground yourself before your calls and starting your calls with this same technique with your clients.

Today I am gifting you one of my favorite grounding techniques from inside the Live Your Dharma Certification.

Listen in to learn for yourself.

Struggling to explain the difference between what you do as a coach vs what a consultant might do?

And . . . If you're being honest with yourself you sometimes question the difference between them yourself.

You know as a coach that it’s your job to listen, hold space, and help your client find the answers, but you find yourself sometimes also giving advice or telling your client what to do.

So, you start to question yourself, am I stepping into consulting?

And, is this wrong?

In today’s podcast we are talking all about the difference between coaching and consulting because the better you understand the differences the easier it will be for you to explain to your clients.

And, it’s important that your clients understand the work you are going to do with them, so they don’t enter the relationship with a false expectation.

Listen in to get all the juice.

Today's podcast is such a treat.

You are going to experience my peer Tyson Bradley coaching me through his I AM ME method.

Watch how Tyson takes my goal to enjoy my “free time'' more and apply his signature method.

His method is designed to help people create sustainable habit change in record time.

Follow along and learn how to apply his technique to make changes in your life or to help your clients make a change in theirs.

Running can be a positive outlet for many people, however, in some cases it can also be a tool for people to avoid their emotions.

If you are a long distance runner or have any clients that are, today's podcast episode is for you.

Running and life coach Sherrie Love and I talk about how to know when you or your clients are using running or any extreme form of fitness as a way to avoid emotions and what to do if so.

We chat about how to use running as a tool to process emotions and a form of meditation instead of as a method to avoid them.

Whether you are an avid runner or not, this conversation will give you insight into ways to manage your emotions and help your clients manage theirs in healthy ways.

My dad has always been my biggest cheerleader supporting me in all my dreams and goals.

Even as a kid he would spend hours testing me so I could get the “A”.

Yes, I was one of those kids who put a lot of pressure on myself to get all A’s - wanting everything to be perfect.

But, over the years of being an entrepreneur I have definitely learned perfectionism has no place in business.

My dad was my very first mentor as I dived into entrepreneurship.  And, he has always been a sounding board for me to bounce ideas off and to help me look at things from a different perspective.

Today, I am super excited to have him as my guest on the podcast.  

✔️ He’s going to share what life was like raising me.

✔️ His advice to anyone getting started in business.

And . . .

✔️ What he believes is essential to creating a thriving business that makes money.

Listen in on the fun conversation with my dad.

Listen in on the fun conversation with my dad.

Even with all odds against her Tawnja was able to do what for many would seem impossible.

After surviving a stroke she had to regain her ability to speak and move her body through months of therapy.

But, it wasn’t just the therapy that enabled Tawnja to not just heal but thrive, it was the power of her mind.

Listen in on today's incredible podcast as my client Tawnja Cleveland shares her story.  She is going to leave you inspired to achieve whatever your heart desires.

You ever wonder why it seems so effortless for some people to take bold moves - do things way out of their comfort zone - and for others it feels like such a struggle?

Many people think it’s something you are either born with or not.

But, the truth is it takes desire, commitment, and a willingness to go against everything we as humans are wired for.

Which as you have heard me talk about before - safety, pleasure, and to use as little energy as possible.

Today I invite you to listen in on my conversation with my friend and peer Elizabeth Lyons as we talk about taking bold moves and what you can do to get started taking them too.

Listen here.

Congratulations you have decided to step into one of the most rewarding professions.

And . . .

I truly believe one of the most challenging to your own personal growth.

The truth is as a coach you must go first.

Meaning - you can only take your clients as deep and as far as you have gone yourself.

So, as a coach you will always be doing your own inner work. As your business grows and evolves, so will you.

You will make mistakes, it's part of the process.  So, please do yourself a favor and don’t resist them.  The mistakes you make will also be some of your biggest growth opportunities.  They will enable you to help and transform your clients to more profound levels.
