Welcome to Women in the Coaching Arena. Jo Lott, business mentor and ICF-accredited coach, is sharing the candid lessons she wishes she’d learned earlier.

Fresh from a business retreat in Spain, this episode is part reflection, part roadmap. If you’re in the early stages of your coaching journey (or simply want to course-correct), these hard-won insights will save you time, energy, and overwhelm.

Key Highlights:

[00:01:00] The One Conversation to Stop Having

[00:05:00] Pay to Pay Attention

[00:06:00] Borrowing Audiences: A Game Changer

[00:08:00] The Long Game Mindset

[00:10:00] Listen More Than You Talk

[00:12:00] Your Personal Reflection Prompt

🌱 Take 10 minutes today and journal: What patterns do I want to stop repeating — and what one small change can I make right now?

Starting your coaching business is a journey of learning, not perfection. Take what resonates, trust your pace, and remember – success comes from showing up consistently and staying in the game.
