Coach Training Partners Podcast

Thanks for watching and listening!

Gordon Duncan, owner of Capitalize Marketing and Consulting, hosted another episode of the Coach Training Partners podcast where he shared his journey transitioning from ministry to coaching and consulting at age 50.

Gordon outlined three key steps he took for this career change: conducting an honest financial reckoning by streamlining finances and paying off debt, practicing quiet preparation by telling fewer than five people about the plans before making the announcement, and ultimately making a courageous leap into the new career.

He emphasized that anyone considering a career change into coaching must prepare themselves for hard work, potential criticism, and identity shifts, while also offering his coaching program Capitalize Your Best to help others create and monetize their coaching programs more effectively.
