179: [BACK TO BASICS] 5 Tools I Can’t Live Without as a Coach
I cannot believe we’ve already made it to the very last episode of 2023, and I’m so excited you’re joining me. I know many of us are taking a close look right now at how we are currently structuring and operating our coaching practices. We’re also exploring how we can become more masterful coaches and how we can build out skills. Fortunately, we’ll be exploring these things in 2024. In the meantime, I want to share with you the five tools I cannot live without in my own coaching business. I’ve been using some of these tools since I started my business all the way back in 2016 and one of the tools will become my go-to resource in 2024. So, as you prepare for 2024, you can take a look at your own business operations and see if any of the tools I recommend might be something you want to incorporate into your practice if you’re not already using them.

178: [BACK TO BASICS] How to Name Your Business
I’m so glad you’re joining me for the next installment of the Back-to-Basics series here on the podcast. Today, we’re diving into the fun topic of naming your business, and I even use myself as an example of what not to do. In this updated episode, I share three key errors I made when originally naming my business, what I would do differently if I could go back and name my business again, and the two things I would have included in this episode if I were to recording it for the first time in 2023. Now, if you’ve already named your business and you’re worried you might have made one of the same errors I did, don’t worry. We’ll talk about that in this episode as well.

The topic we’re revisiting this week is that of how you can go about pricing your coaching offer.

172: [BACK TO BASICS] Creating Clarity In Your Coaching
This episode is coming to you just after the recent launch of Coach with Clarity Collective; which is my group program for innovative, intuitive coaches who are seeking support and community as they deepen their coaching mastery and build their business skills. If you’re interested in joining the collective, you can join waitlist. One of the things I did after this launch was reach out to people who had demonstrated interest with a short survey that included a question about why they opted not to join the collective this round and there were two themes that stood out. The first was that the price point was out of their budget. The second was that they didn’t have enough confidence in their ability to be a great coach to invest the time and money into the program. Those responses inspired me to spend the next several weeks re-airing some of my earliest podcast episodes in what I’m calling the Back to Basics series. The first episode in this series is all about helping you create clarity in your coaching, don’t you think? Now, what do I mean by having clarity in your coaching? Well, I’m talking about getting super clear on who you want to serve, what they really need from you, and how you want to serve them.

169: How to Work with an Online Business Manager with Robyn Blanton
This week we have a very special guest on the podcast. It’s none other than my Operations Manager, Robyn Blanton. Robyn is also the force behind Kismet Virtual Services. Robyn and I have been working together for almost three years, but it feels like longer. In fact, it’s hard for me to remember a time in business when Robyn hasn’t been there supporting me because she has become such an essential part of Coach with Clarity©. In this episode, we allow how we originally connected to inform our conversation around what coaches need to know if they’re looking to hire support in their business. So, if you’re looking to hire a virtual assistant, an online business manager, a social media manager, or really anyone to help with some of the operations activities of your business, I think you’ll find this conversation particularly enlightening.

168: Finding Inspiration When You’re Bored and Overwhelmed
Us entrepreneurs are tired, burnt out, and bored. We don’t want the same old thing when it comes to the tools we use and how we run our businesses. We want to put more of an emphasis on making deep connections and friendships in an online space rather than just making a sale. But, here’s the thing… not all boredom is created equal. Some types of boredom can be destructive, but some types of boredom might even be necessary for our growth. In this episode, I share how the new social media platform from Meta, Threads led to the epiphany that inspired this episode, how boredom with the traditional marketing and sales strategies is fueling my desire to pivot how I do things in my own business, responses I received when I asked other business owners what they do when they’re feeling bored in their business or disconnected from their purpose, the types of boredom that are necessary for our growth, and more.

Regardless of how you feel about Facebook and Facebook ads, I truly believe you’re really going to enjoy my conversation with our guest. Today, I want to introduce you to my friend, and apparently my doppelgänger, Ashley Braswell. Not only do Ashley and I look startling alike, we also have a shared outlook on how we want to run our business and serve the world. I especially wanted to bring Ashley on the show today because she is an expert when it comes to running Facebook ads. I know many of us have what we might call and ambivalent relationship with Facebook in general, with ads in general, and with Facebook ads specifically. Yet, I know that when used properly, Facebook ads can really help us grow our business. In fact, I personally experienced that inside Coach with Clarity®. I’ve brought Ashley on today to specifically talk about the role of Facebook ads, how she approaches it, best practices for coaches who are thinking about using ads to grow their business, how to run ads on a platform we have mixed feelings about, and how to almost hack the system in order to share our message and see more of what we want.

166: Capability vs Capacity in Your Coaching Practice
It’s frustrating to recognize that we simply don't have the internal resources we need to take action despite having the capability to do so. Most of us are highly-capable individuals who know how to show up as coaches, serve our people, and help them create their desired changes. That passion drives us to keep growing and doing more, but the problem arises when we don’t check in with ourselves and get honest about our capacity. Today I’m talking about the difference between capability and capacity and how it might inform your work inside your coaching practice. I’m sharing the difficult yet necessary decisions I’ve recently made to respect my current capacity while still growing and scaling a business I love, how I think about capacity vs. capability, old beliefs that came up when I decided to step back, why these decisions are necessary for building a sustainable coaching practice, and more.

[REPLAY] How to Create Meaningful Content without Burning Yourself Out
I am hard at work creating all sorts of new content for the podcast and for some other offers and programs I’ll be sharing more about over the next few months. It’s in that spirit that I want to rebroadcast one of my favorite episodes that I’ve done on the show. In this rebroadcast, I share how to design a system that supports you in creating content through the lens of what I call the Content Cycle. Developing a deep understanding of that cycle has been a critical tool for me, and it’s my secret to creating content without burning out. I originally published this episode about a year ago, and I have really been leaning into the Content Cycle that I talk about in this episode. It has been really reassuring; especially as I’ve been in this high content creation mode inside Coach with Clarity®.

165: The Three A's of Sustainable Visibility with Mai-Kee Tsang
“Put yourself out there!” When it comes to growing your brand and your business online, this is the type of broad-brush advice you will likely come across. On the surface, it makes total sense because to grow our client base and build our impact, we need to be visible. The problem is, when the goal is simply to reach as many people as possible, we miss a lot of essential nuances - like safety and energetic alignment. Today I’m thrilled to be joined by my friend, Mai-Kee Tsang, to learn more about her approach to creating frameworks around Sustainable Visibility®. Mai-kee is the Sustainable Visibility® Mentor, ICF-Certified Trauma-Conscious Leadership Coach, Podcast Guesting Strategist, and Speaker. She’s on a mission to amplify the voices of socially-conscious visionaries here to make a deeper difference to those they serve through an inclusive, equitable, and intersectional lens. In this conversation, Mai-kee and I discuss her journey towards sustainable visibility, why it’s essential to put protections in place, the importance of establishing and maintaining personal boundaries in business, tools to help you figure out the best approach for you, and more. Mai-kee’s approach to sustainable visibility is a refreshing alternative to the urgency culture we’re so often bombarded with. I suspect you’ll get so much out of this conversation. For your awareness, there is a content warning for today’s episode, as brief references are made to sexual abuse and eating disorders.

Do I really want to coach? Do I still want to do this business thing? What does it mean if I make a shift? Many coaches hit a point in their businesses where they feel an identity crisis. To get through this and figure out what you want, we need safe spaces to openly explore our options. Places where we can explore the logical next steps as well as our desires and visions. Today I’m joined by Mary Williams, the founder, and CEO of Sensible Woo, where she teaches highly sensitive and neuro-divergent online business owners how to replace chaos in their backend business operations with harmonious processes and systems. I've known Mary for years, and she’s someone that I have loved collaborating with and getting to know. Her ability to blend the strategic with the intuitive is very much in line with how I coach and her approach to systems. In this conversation, Mary and I discuss the energy shift in the online entrepreneurial space, Mary’s approach to creating a solid foundation for a business, the importance of enjoying the process, how systems can help you to reclaim your time, why we need to normalize the spiritual aspects of business, and more. Mary is an expert in creating strong systems in your business to support your operations, revenue generation, and, most importantly, life. Enjoy the conversation!

Today marks the conclusion of our six-week exploration of what it means to be a transformative, powerful coach and how we can continue building our mastery. From developing your coaching presence to establishing agreements, we’ve deeply explored some fundamental coaching concepts. For this final episode of the series, we will look at how we can support our clients in developing awareness and then taking action that leads to growth. Each of the previous five elements plays a critical part in setting the stage for our clients to have deeper self-awareness, leading to growth. Intentional growth comes when we make decisions to transform something in our lives based on an epiphany that we've had.

Unclear expectations are often at the heart of misunderstandings, arguments, and conflict. What are our expectations for our work with clients? And what expectations do they have of us? How do our agreements serve us and our clients while aligning with your goals and values? In this episode of our Art of Coaching series, I’m talking about our commitments to our clients, businesses, and ourselves. In our coaching relationships, we must put practices in place that create space to voice the expectations and assumptions from both sides so we can manage them appropriately early on. Today I’m breaking down why having clear agreements matters so much in a coaching relationship, different ways to create agreements with our clients, what to do if we experience challenges maintaining those agreements, and more. This is all part of being a powerful, masterful coach while building a successful and profitable coaching business. Enjoy the episode!

161: The Art of Coaching: Creating Trust-Centered Relationships
Trust-based relationships are vital for creating a positive and productive coaching experience. A coaching relationship with a strong foundation of trust, honesty, and respect allows clients to feel safe to be vulnerable. It helps them to be more receptive, knowing that the coach is coming from a place of support and respect. That foundation sets the stage for the client’s success. In today’s installment in our series on the Art of Coaching, I’m discussing why cultivating trust in your relationships is crucial. We’re expanding on all the topics we’ve covered so far and looking at how trust can be integrated at each stage. Without trust, our ability to be ethical, powerful coaches that serve our clients consistently is compromised. In this episode, I’m sharing what it means to create a relationship centered on trust, steps to build that strong foundation in your relationships, why it matters, and outside factors we must consider when co-creating these relationships with our clients.

160: The Art of Coaching: Embodying a Coaching Mindset
Mindset is much more than limiting beliefs; it’s about how we relate to our internal experiences. Taking it a level deeper, a coaching mindset is about how we externalize our internal responses and how they inform our behavior as coaches. As we continue our series on the Art of Coaching, each week builds on the last, and we develop a fuller picture of what it takes to become a masterful coach. This week we’re exploring what it means to embody a coaching mindset. Embodying a coaching mindset is one of the ICF’s core competencies, which every ICF coach must practice actively. When we have a well-developed coaching mindset, we deeply understand that our role is to support and facilitate learning and growth in our clients. In this episode, I’m sharing why a coaching mindset is critical and how we can work on developing mastery in this area. Enjoy the episode!

To help clients tap into who they are and what they want, we, as coaches, first need to ensure we completely understand our clients’ situations. That comes through actively listening when our clients are speaking to us. In today’s episode, I’m exploring next-level listening as the second part of our art of coaching series. We’ll break down the traditional approach to active listening, including how the ICF defines it, what it means to be a next-level listener, and additional ways to approach listening that will enhance our clients’ experiences.

157: A New Way to Approach Sales Funnels with Danielle Klemm
When I hear “sales funnel,” there’s sometimes a reflexive internal cringe. We've all seen examples of funnels that are more focused on making money than genuinely serving the client. I’ve also been on the purchasing side of that, and it's not a pleasant feeling. Today’s guest, Innovative Sales Message and Funnel Energetics Coach Danielle Klemm, is different. She's about helping you create ethical and intentional funnels that prioritize clients' needs. Danielle has over five years of experience in online marketing, helping entrepreneurs scale their one-to-many or group offer sustainably and gross manipulation tactic-free. She’s on a mission to make ease, freedom, and play not just the goal but felt throughout the process. In our conversation, Danielle shared fantastic insights into how you can create a funnel that truly supports your potential clients as they engage with you and your business. In a world where so many online businesses are vying for our attention, being client-centered helps you stand out from the crowd and nurture relationships that last for the long term. Danielle has so much wisdom to share, and I know you’ll love this episode.

156: From Inspiration to Action in 5 Simple Steps
It’s an exciting feeling when inspiration strikes. Your energy surges, and you’re motivated to bring this to life. But once you get closer to implementation, losing that energy and interest is common. The shiny new idea starts to lose luster. It’s the point where many people give up on their inspired idea. It’s an experience I've had myself and something I’ve seen countless times with clients. Some of those projects simply weren’t a good fit, but others could have been aligned opportunities if followed through to the end. That’s why it’s so valuable to have a process to support you. There’s nothing like seeing your ideas become a reality and knowing it’s all because you took action when inspiration hit. Today I’m sharing the five-step process I use to take action on my inspiration in the hope you can use or modify it, so the next time inspiration visits you, you’re ready to take action.

154: From Couch to Coach: How to Start Your Coaching Practice
Here at Coach with Clarity, we take a balanced look at what it means to be a successful, heart-centered coach. Since most of us are coaches and business owners, I love exploring the skill side of serving our clients powerfully and what it looks like to operate a profitable, sustainable, and aligned coaching business. As part of the business side of things, today we’re taking a look at what every coaching practice needs to set you up for success in the long run. I started my coaching journey helping therapists and healthcare professionals in private practice. From there, I soon realized that many of my clients were interested in the art and business of coaching and wanted support in becoming coaches themselves. This was how my first-ever group program, From Couch to Coach, was born. Four years after the last cohort, I’ve brought it back! So many of you have reached out, wanting support in the early phases of your coaching journey - that’s exactly why I created From Couch to Coach. In this episode, I’m giving you a sneak peek behind the scenes and sharing how this program guides coaches in building and growing their coaching practices, creating a solid business structure, and building a strong approach to coaching. I hope this episode inspires you to take the next step in your coaching journey.
