The Divorce Revolution

441. Can You Explain What You Do Without Using Coach Speak?


Listen Later

Have you ever been asked what you do as a coach… and suddenly found yourself fumbling, overexplaining, or defaulting to vague phrases that don't actually land? Or maybe you know what you do in your head, but saying it out loud feels clunky or overly formal.

In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm talking about why "coach speak" actually gets in the way of connection—and how learning to explain what you do in simple, real-life language can completely change how potential clients respond to you.

If you've been struggling to clearly explain what you do, worried about sounding salesy, or hiding behind vague language because you don't feel confident yet, then this episode is for you.
