When it comes to building a successful coaching practice, there are two central fears that come up for many of us.

These fears can keep us from making progress in our businesses and in our lives because of all the unwanted emotions they create. They continue to stress us out and as we grow and progress in our businesses, they don't seem to go away.

Today I want to shed light on the monsters that are hiding in the dark so that we can remove some of the scariness and normalize what so many of us experience. In this episode, I'm sharing how these fears can serve us, what we need to look out for to prevent these fears from being exploited by others and how we can manage them as we grow our coaching practices.

Anchoring your business outside of yourself is not a good idea.

When I just started my coaching practice, I was convinced that corporate coaching would be my path to long-lasting success. After all, when I looked at what other successful coaches were doing, that seemed to be the common thread.

One year later, I was miserable and I knew something had to change.

In the years since, I've learned some critical lessons about where I went wrong when I just started out, the importance of alignment, and how to make business decisions that are anchored within yourself.

In this episode I'm sharing my origin story, the mistakes I made along the way, and the guiding principles you can use to figure out where to focus your energy when you're starting your coaching business.

If you already have a coaching business, there's something here for you too. These concepts are relevant throughout the lifespan of your business and I find that I come back to them again and again as I grow.

Regardless of whether you are just starting out or you've been doing this for a while, I think you will find great value in today's show.

What should you have in place before you launch your coaching offers? How long should your launch timeline be? Is there a difference between launching a new offer or doing a relaunch?

For today’s episode, I had the fantastic opportunity to talk to one of the foremost experts on online launches, Tasha Booth, who’s answering all your questions about launching.

Tasha Booth is an agency owner, coach, and podcaster. She is the Founder & CEO of The Launch Guild, a full-service launch support agency working with established coaches and course creators with course & podcast launches. Her team is over 30 members strong and works together to support their clients in being able to focus back onto their zones of genius.

I’ve been connected with Tasha for a few years and she is just as warm, caring, and whip-smart in person as she is online and on her podcasts. We really get into the nitty-gritty of online launches and I suspect if you've got a question about launching, it'll probably be answered in today's show.

For both personal development and in our work as coaches, personality assessments can help us to deepen our understanding of ourselves and others.

Back in 1994 as an angsty teenager, personality assessments were the first thing I encountered that ever made me feel validated and like there were other people like me out there. They were introduced to me by my grandmother, Mary Lou, and I credit them for my early interest in psychology and ultimately, my career as a coach.

Today we’re talking about four of my favorite assessments: Myers-Briggs, the Enneagram, StrengthsFinder, and the Energy Leadership Index. I’ll be sharing a bit of the background and history of each assessment, their pillars, resources you can use to find your type and learn more, and how I use them in my life.

Do you use these assessments in your practice? Are there different ones that you prefer? I would love your thoughts and feedback about today's episode. Find me on Instagram (@CoachWithClarity) and let me know!

You’ve been having great sessions and then out of the blue, your client doesn’t show up to a call and doesn’t reply to your emails.

You thought you had a good connection but poof, they’re gone.

It sucks.

You are not alone.

Today I’m sharing strategies you can put in place in your coaching business to reduce the chance of this happening in the first place and my top tips for what to do if it does happen to you.

If you’re ready to learn how to conduct a sales call in a way that feels good and honors your integrity and your client’s autonomy, you’ve come to the right place.

Sales calls, or as I like to call them, connection calls, are an integral element for anyone who wants a thriving, profitable, and sustainable coaching business.

This is where you have the opportunity to connect one-on-one with a potential client to learn about them and explore the next best step for both of you.

Now, if the word “sales” has you on edge, you’re not alone.

Most of us go into coaching because we love supporting our clients and the other aspects that come with operating a business (like marketing and sales) can feel daunting.

If that sounds like you, not to worry. I’ve got you covered.

Today we’re demystifying the sales process and exploring what it takes to have a really strong call with someone you want to work with.

When we know our priorities we can take action and make decisions in our business that are fully aligned with our priorities and our values.

That’s why getting clear on what you're saying yes and saying no to is an essential step in any business planning process. Once you know your non-negotiables, it becomes much easier to filter through all the possibilities and shiny objects and focus on the most important elements.

In my annual planning process, when I mapped out my Hell Yes list I grouped the things that fit together and from there I came up with four key areas of my business that I’m saying yes to for 2022 and maybe even beyond. That’s what I’m sharing with you today.

If you haven't already taken the time to chart out your Hell Yes and Hell No lists for the year, I encourage you to do that as soon as you can. I hope today’s episode will give you a bit of inspiration as you set your intentions for the future.
