In this Career Coaching Secrets episode, host Rexhen interviews Adelle Thompson, founder of AT&Rich. Adelle, a career change and confidence coach, shares her journey from HR and recruitment to building her own business in 2019 after a period of informally helping friends and family.

She specializes in helping women aged 25-40 who are seeking fulfilling, high-income career changes. Her coaching focuses on helping them "sell their value" by translating their existing skills to a new industry. Adelle's approach is unique because she still works part-time in corporate HR, which keeps her in touch with the current job market.

Adelle’s marketing relies on LinkedIn, Instagram, and TikTok, using short-form content to drive people to her podcast for deeper engagement. She advises new coaches against investing too early in platforms they don't need, instead highlighting the value of masterminds and community. Her main challenge is maintaining consistency and authenticity, which she believes is key to attracting the right clients.

Her final advice for coaches is to "not water yourself down" and to be fully authentic, as your genuine voice will attract your ideal clients.

In this Career Coaching Secrets episode, host Rexhen interviews Karyn Annan (Riley), founder of Riley Life Wellbeing. With nearly two decades of coaching experience, Karyn helps time-poor moms and female entrepreneurs overcome overwhelm and regain confidence.

Karyn's coaching focuses on simplifying life and work routines. She uses tools like CliftonStrengths to help clients manage imposter syndrome and limiting beliefs. She is also the author of "How to Keep the You in Mom", a book she plans to release as an e-book and audiobook.

Her business is primarily built on word-of-mouth and her extensive women's network. She also leverages LinkedIn and her private Thriving Women Facebook group for community building. Karyn's best investments have been in her own education, including studying psychology and becoming a certified strengths coach.

Her main challenge is managing the technical side of her business. She overcomes this by focusing on her strengths and delegating tasks to experts to avoid burnout. Her core advice to other coaches is to "Just do it"—take one action at a time to build momentum and confidence.

In this Career Coaching Secrets episode, host Rexhen interviews Traver Butcher, a cross-cultural consultant, coach, and founder of All Shores Consulting. With over 20 years of experience, Traver helps individuals and businesses navigate global transitions and cultural collaboration.

His work spans international relocations, domestic moves, and company mergers, using frameworks like DISC to help teams understand different cultural and personality dynamics. His coaching engagement for individuals is a 13-week program with a follow-up option for a full year.

Traver admits his marketing is still in the "startup phase," relying heavily on relational investments and word-of-mouth. He's now focused on creating short-form video content to grow his business. He sees all his investments as valuable learning experiences and is working to use technology like AI to enhance, not replace, the human connection of his coaching.

His goal is to make All Shores Consulting his full-time business within the next 1-3 years, expanding his team and traveling for in-person client work. His advice for other coaches is to "keep going" and use technology to enhance their services.
