I love conducting coaching calls because it allows me to connect one-on-one with a Coach With Clarity podcast listener, dig into their business, and provide them with some powerful coaching to get them moving towards their vision, their dreams, and their goals. Today, I'm excited to share my coaching call with Joy Williams.

Joy Williams is a nationally certified Art Therapist, specializing in brain-based, trauma-informed care. She's also a coach studied in "Transformative Presence" and has lived experience changing the very fabric of her own life through transformational coaching and professional therapeutic services.

On this coaching call, we dive deep into what it means to market to your clients from a place of integrity and how to create a marketing approach that is in integrity with your values and vision. I suspect this one is going to resonate strongly with a lot of you and I hope that in listening you will discover some insights that you can use in your marketing practice as well.

My D.E.C.I.D.E. Framework is the six-part framework that I use with my clients, and in my life, to help me make decisions that are grounded in my inner wisdom and aligned with the world around me.   When it comes down to it, one of our chief responsibilities as coaches is to support our clients in their decision-making process. Whether that's deciding what they want to talk about in session or how they want to take action on a particular goal, we partner with them so that they feel confident and aligned in the decisions they're making for their business and for their lives.   In this episode, I'm going to walk you through each one of the steps, how you can use the framework and I'm also sharing some personal examples of what it looks like to put each step into practice and recommendations to help you make this framework effective.

"How much should I share with my clients?"   That's a question I get asked a lot by newer coaches and today we're diving right in.   It's important to ask yourself this question before you get in session with your clients so you know exactly where your boundaries are with regard to self-disclosure and how to use this tool appropriately.   To help you figure it out, we're going to go over some ground rules for self-disclosure in coaching sessions, when it is appropriate to share and then, of course, when it's not appropriate to share.

Before we get into today's show, I want to say thank you. I'm really glad to say that I'm doing much better now but those first few weeks after my surgery were pretty rough and I cannot tell you how much the outpouring of love, concern, and support I received from you meant to me and how that helped me in my recovery process. This community has been such a bright light for me and it's my honor to show up every week and serve you through the podcast.   This week we're back to normal and I'm going to do a deep dive into one of the most common questions I get asked, which is about coaching certifications. I know many of you are interested in becoming a certified coach and because it is a self-regulating profession, the process can be a bit confusing.   There is such a wide variability in the types of certification programs, the investment to obtain them, and the requirements for each. So today I'm going to break down the basics behind coaching certification, and the key factors you should be aware of when deciding whether to become a certified coach.   Hopefully, by the end of the show, you will have a little more insight and a little more direction about what is the right path for you.

In this brief episode that is very far off from what I had originally planned for this week, I provide an update on a health issue that arose from a recent surgery and how the whole experience helped me realize I need to shift my priorities from pushing myself beyond my limits to incorporating more self-care.

I’m incredibly excited to bring you another coaching call. I absolutely love conducting calls because they give me an opportunity to connect directly with you and to provide some powerful coaching to help you build the coaching practice of your dreams.

Today, I’m delighted to introduce you to a fellow coach and social worker, Melissa Nytko.

Melissa is a consultant, trainer, coach, and a former school social worker. She’s an expert in trauma-informed care; specifically, the physical and mental impact of burnout on the turnover rate of classroom teachers and social workers.

Melissa has a passion for helping educators of all backgrounds avoid burnout and lead fulfilling lives. However, as you’ll hear during this coaching call, Melissa wasn’t quite sure if she had landed on the right niche.

So, during our coaching call, we explored how we can help her feel more secure in who she’s serving and how to create an action plan to help her create traction in her business.

Today’s episode is inspired by you!

I posted an unplanned picture on my social media accounts a few weeks ago about my CEO day and I received more comments and engagement on that post than I’ve had on any other post in several weeks.

The minute I mentioned I was doing a CEO day, I was flooded with a variety of questions and it became pretty clear that I needed to talk about it here on the podcast.

So, in this episode, I’m walking you through the anatomy of a CEO day.

If you’ve been listening to the podcast for a while, and especially if you listened to our Getting Started Series, you know that we have spent a lot of time talking about your coaching niche and how you can really connect with your ideal client.

Today, however, we’re going to approach things from a slightly different perspective.

Rather than look at the questions of what you do, I want to look at through the lens of who you are.

So, in this episode, we’re taking some time to examine the five primary coaching styles and how they relate to the type of coach you want to be.

We're wrapping up our mini-series about coaching through difficult emotions by exploring a big one... SHAME. Just reading or saying the word allowed is often enough to invoke feelings of embarrassment, brokenness, and unworthiness within us. And when our clients carry shame with us as a constant companion, it can block them from accomplishing their goals. That's why in this week's episode, we're taking a close look at shame - what it is, what it's not, what causes it, and how we coaches can help our clients through it.

There's so much going on in the world today that's causing many of us to deal with unwanted or uncomfortable emotions and anger is certainly at the top of that list.   For many coaches, anger can be a particularly difficult emotion to support our clients through because it can feel so personal, even though it's merely the client trying to express some pent-up emotions within the context of our coaching session.   That's what we're looking at today, in the second episode of my miniseries on coaching through difficult emotions. We're going to explore the types and sources of anger, how to know when it might be time to refer a client to a mental health provider, as well as steps and strategies you can use as you coach your clients through anger.   Hopefully, this episode will be a first or continuing step in your journey to deepen your coaching skills and step into the powerful and knowledgeable coach you can be.
