Coach with Clarity

Sales: the five-letter word that brings up so many emotions.

For today's episode, I'm delighted to be joined by intuitive business coach and sales expert Sarah Walton. Sarah has helped hundreds of women start and grow businesses they love. She hosts her podcast, The Game On Girlfriend Podcast, and she's also known for her weekly YouTube show, Sarah Uncut. Sarah has become the go-to source of inspiration for no-nonsense teaching and practical integration for women in business. Her mission is ultimately to put more money in the hands of more women.

I've known Sarah for a few years, and her perspective on sales is so empowering. In this conversation, she shares her personal experiences with sales and how you can align your gifts, strengths, and talents to create your offers from a place of benefiting your client and yourself. After listening, I think you'll find sales a bit less scary and recognize that when we engage in a sales process that honors our intuition and comes from a place of integrity, everyone wins.

Failure can be an extraordinary teacher if we are open to its lessons. I'm convinced it's the secret to our success.

It may seem counterintuitive to talk about helping our clients learn to fail, but failure is a part of life. As coaches, we can explore how our language, offers, and programs can help our clients leverage their failures for success. Since none of us can eliminate failure, we can best help our clients by guiding them through the process of navigating it.

Looking back at my experiences, I've found that every failure I've had in my life has been a crucial step in my evolution. Today I'm sharing one of my recent failures, and I'll use that as an example of how we can leverage failure for future success. Enjoy the episode!

We don't do a great job talking about money as a society.

There's a lot of shame, fear, and guilt that gets tied up with our feelings about money, and that's one of the things today's guest Denise Duffield-Thomas is on a mission to change.

Denise Duffield-Thomas is the money mentor for the new wave of online entrepreneurs who want to make money and change the world. She helps entrepreneurs like you charge premium prices, release the fear of money, and create First Class lives. Her books Lucky Bitch, Get Rich, Lucky Bitch, and her newest Chill and Prosper, give a fresh and funny roadmap to living a life of abundance without burnout. Her Money Bootcamp has helped over 8,500 students from all around the world.

I've been following Denise's work for years; having her here on the podcast is a dream come true. Denise and I are talking about the power of money, how our thinking about money can affect how we make it, save it, and spend it, the unsuspecting ways our money mindset impacts our businesses, and more.

Our conversation got pretty honest, and after sharing some of my experiences and stories with money, I had a bit of a vulnerability hangover. Still, it's entirely worth it because I know we can only remove the stigma around money by having honest, powerful conversations about it.

I know you'll get so much from this interview. Enjoy the episode!

A summer slump is a very uncomfortable place to be.

It's when you're feeling bored, unmotivated, maybe even a little anxious about your business and if you're feeling it right now, please know I am right there with you.

I have to admit, even though it's not a new phenomenon for me, I was blindsided when June hit. Suddenly, I felt utterly apathetic about all the operational, non-client-facing pieces of my business. I just didn't want to do it.

Today I'm sharing a few things that I've done to help pull myself out and how you can support yourselves and your clients through the summer slump. Enjoy the episode!

It's a fantastic feeling to get an idea for a new offer.

To me, it feels like lightning. I just feel lit up. I feel excited. I feel inspired.

It's such a good feeling that it's easy to jump straight into creation mode without considering whether it's the best thing for your coaching business right now.

That's why it's so important to take a step back, ask yourself a few questions, and explore whether it's worth the time, energy, and money you'll be investing.

In this episode, I'm sharing the bullseye framework that I use myself and with my clients for deciding whether or not to create a new offer. I hope this will help you approach your new offer intentionally and with the solid knowledge that this will benefit your business in the long run.

The moment of hesitation when a dream client asks for your website.

We've all been there. You DIY'd your website, and now you have mixed feelings about it. You're proud of yourself (look what you created from nothing!), but you know this isn't your zone of genius, and you're a little scared to share it.

That's where today's guest Samantha Mabe comes in.

Samatha Mabe is the Creative Director and Website Designer of Lemon and the Sea. She helps service providers and coaches ready to launch their signature offers and need a website that matches the high-caliber work they're doing with her signature framework. Samantha has designed and customized dozens of websites over the past six years for all types of entrepreneurs.

Samantha and I initially connected around five years ago through a mastermind program, and she was one of the first people I met when I was building my coaching practice. In this conversation, she shared practical tips on making the most of your website, great resources you can use, and what we should consider if we are ready to partner with a web designer.

I know you'll find such value in this conversation. Enjoy the episode!

When a client asks you for your perspective, and you withhold or respond in a way that's not client-centered, that can seriously compromise the partnership and erode trust.

Early in my coach training program, it was drilled into us that coaches don't tell their clients what to do. I took that very seriously, and when clients would ask me for my opinion, I felt paralyzed. I didn't know the right way to respond.

Fast forward to today; in the six-plus years that I've been a coach, I'm often asked this question in some form or fashion.

What role should helping professionals play with their clients when it comes to giving advice, sharing strategy, or just flat out telling their clients what to do?

Today I'm talking about best practices for sharing thoughts and ideas with clients, the four common pitfalls coaches make, how to course correct in a way that centers the client, and my six tips for successful sharing.

Rest is the fuel you need for your work and your advocacy.

That's how today's guest, Radical Joy Coach™ Jordan Maney, thinks about the far-reaching impact of true rest, unlike anything I've ever heard before.

I had the privilege of meeting Jordan earlier this year at a conference where we had the opportunity to spend a lot of time together. The way she coaches around rest is so dynamic that I invited her to be a guest expert inside the Coach with Clarity Collective and the feedback was overwhelming. Her training on rest received more love than anything I've ever offered inside the Collective.

That's how powerful Jordan's work around rest is, and that's why I'm excited to bring her to the podcast. You'll find so many gems in this conversation and get so much out of her work. Enjoy the episode!

When content is a significant part of marketing your coaching business, burnout is a genuine threat.

In my experience, regularly creating original content for your people takes a lot of time, energy, and, in some cases, money. That's why it's essential to be mindful of our content creation process.

Today we're exploring how to design a system that supports you in creating content through the lens of what I call the Content Cycle. Developing a deep understanding of that cycle has been a critical tool for me, and it's my secret to creating content without burning out.

I truly hope that learning about the content cycle will be a freeing experience for you and that it will help you approach both content creation and consumption mindfully.

As you reflect on the cycle in your business, if you find yourself stuck and want a little bit of guidance on breaking through, send me a DM on Instagram (@CoachWithClarity). I'd love to hear your stuck points and see how we can work through it together. Enjoy the episode!
