Conversations With Coaches

It was an absolute delight to continue my conversation with Jaime today! We immediately jumped into big-picture stuff - like how coaches help you to shine light into dark scary places and guide your exploration of your reflexes and reactions in ways that lead you into making strong choices about how YOU want to move forward.

One thing I love about our convo in particular is how we are able to move freely from the "30,000-foot-view" into the "feet-on-the-ground" techniques and tactics that define good coaching. You don't have to choose between one or the other...it's Both/And!

We also talk about Jaime's new Phoenix coaching program (check out the link below to learn more) and her freshly-launched LinkedIn interview series "Shining Bright", showcasing the perspectives of women leaders on subjects like the Myth of the SuperMom and Diversity & Allyship.

To refresh your memory a little, Jamie is a Life and Leadership Coach who partners with people who have been going so long they have lost themselves. Working with Jamie, her clients own their power while doing the uncomfortable things they have dreamed of doing.

Jamie spent 17 years in technology – with most of it in a state of denial, overwhelm, and exhaustion. She knew it wasn’t what she wanted in life, but was in denial of what she wanted to do. She loved the idea of building things for people. The engineer in her wanted to make people’s lives better by building great products. However, something was always missing.

Our last conversation covered some of the steps on Jamie’s journey to the thriving coaching practice she has today. We also touched on a few fantastic aspects of coaching and servant leadership – intentionality, the various natures of competition, some misplaced notions of professionalism, and so much more.

Christine is even more inspiring and dedicated than I remembered! It was a pleasure to welcome her back onto the podcast.

In today's episode, we discussed how she didn't wait until January to get started and took advantage of that "December gap" to really jumpstart not one but TWO new coaching initiatives. This leads us naturally into a conversation about how much more energy it takes to move from 0 to 1 than it takes to keep the momentum going (it's a law of physics AND a law of human achievement).

We also touch on the importance of knowing what your "non-negotiable" is, and how that shines a powerful light on the gaps you need to bridge and the steps on your success journey.

Christine is a multiple business owner and business success coach who has worked for startups as well as some of the biggest companies on the planet. She is a catalyst who has generated millions of dollars in revenue annually across multiple industries, and who can help you figure out the HOW while supporting you in building a thriving business and your dream life.

It was frankly inspiring to have Michael King back on the podcast! The work he's done and the growth he's experienced in just the short time between now and our first episode together is truly amazing.

In today's episode, we pick up our conversation by talking about the massive momentum that 2023 has begun with, and the ways that leaders and teams are navigating our present moment of crisis and opportunity. Michael also makes an excellent distinction between reacting vs. adapting, and talks about how a good coach is well-positioned to provide the perspective and insight that will guide organizations over challenging gaps.

Michael also goes into his "90 Day 6 Figure Blueprint" program through his Aspire Leadership Group and shares some of the success stories that have already emerged from this exciting new endeavor.

Michael is the founder and CEO of TEAMS.COACH, LLC and a highly sought-after executive and business leadership coach. He helps business leaders clarify and execute at high levels through his proprietary T.E.A.M.S. Methodology to develop measurable business growth and company-wide collaboration.

Working with everyone from senior leaders all the way through to full-team engagement, he discovers gaps in performance, disconnects in company culture, and potentially dangerous blind spots - establishing new goals and the plans to achieve them, as well as evaluating overall engagement and ultimately helping leaders (and their teams) to get unstuck.

Michael is also the host of The Level Up Leader podcast, where he interviews some of the best coaches and leaders in business about everything from professional development and personal growth to what it takes to truly level up your leadership.

In our last chat, we talked about Stephanie’s early experiences as she was becoming a coach, how athletes transition to the next phase of life after their competitive sports days are over, and the passion she has in her service as a guide for people looking for that next piece of their life’s puzzle. In today's Part Two, we pick up right where we left off! Stephanie shares some of the details of her end-of-year rituals, like a "part-year" review and how she uses a structure called The Wheel of Life to set her priorities up properly for the year to come. We spend most of our time talking about building habits and making choices, and how much more power and space that gives you in so many areas of your life. Stephanie is a blast to talk with - we spent almost 20 minutes before recording just chatting about family and the weather! She's also an excellent coach and really knows how to share herself in such a way that helps others to better see how they can become more of who they want to be. Stephanie holds a degree in applied neuroscience coaching and a master’s degree in cultural business management and has been a Potential Catalyst for more than a decade. She has supported many individuals and businesses in achieving their goals. Her goal is that every person can bring the best of herself to the role that suits her.

Jeff has over 30 years as a serial entrepreneur and is the Founder and CEO of Pull The Chute. He has started several of his own companies, consulted many others, and is currently using his experience and talents as a Business, Executive, and Leadership Coach. He believes in people and the power of those people to help a business grow. If you grow your people, you will grow your company. I think that Jeff sums up the core principle of PTC perfectly himself, so I'll let him lay it out: "There are a couple of important birthdays in our life. When we turn 16 because we can drive when we turn 21 because are legal. When we turn 40 because statistically, our life is half over. That's when I decided to go skydiving for the first time. You go 14,000 feet up in the sky and jump out of the plane. You are falling at 120 mph. It's hard to breathe, one movement of your hand starts you spinning, and everything is happening so fast you can't see where you're at or where you're going. "But at 5,500 feet, you pull the chute, and suddenly you can breathe again, you are in control, you can see where you're at and where you want to go. "So when I turned 60, I looked in the mirror and said, I don't want to retire. I like working. So what can I do that will help leave this world a little better than when I came into it? That is when I was reminded of what it felt like to pull the chute and decided that businesses need to Pull the Chute for at least an hour a week. So they can take a breath, feel in control, and see where they are and where they want to go."

It was such a delight to renew my conversation with Beth Miller! In today's episode, we talk about "adaptive communication" and always endeavoring to use the "right tool for the right job" when it comes to how we connect and work together. We also explore multiple facets of the familiar topic of questions, and how responding to a question with a question (which we're often told to avoid) can be an expression of curiosity and a desire for clarity. We also dive deep into some of the key values of good leadership like problem-solving and delegation, especially in young leadership. We get into quite a bit more than that, as Beth and I went from zero-to-60 in no time flat - it was so easy to move into the deep end of the pool in our too-short second conversation. A third episode is all but guaranteed. :) Beth is an experienced corporate executive, business owner, and entrepreneur with a love for developing talent and seeing other leaders succeed. As a chair for Vistage, a leading CEO peer group, she realized her love of impacting businesses and founded Executive Velocity, which is dedicated to helping leaders reach their full potential. When she’s not sharing her experience with other entrepreneurs, Beth is an explorer and world traveler who’s set foot on all seven continents. She has a love of animals and wildlife, which often takes her to Africa and other habitats with majestic animals. Beth lives in Atlanta with her 2 cats, Puri and Mr. Bates, lovingly named after the Downton Abbey character.

[Host's note - I got to meet Mr. Bates before we began recording as he settled on Beth's lap, and I'm considering inviting this sweet snuggly gentleman onto my new podcast, Conversations with Cats.]

In our renewed conversation, Marshall and I share our bewilderment at how fast 2023 is progressing - busy and full, but not frantic...which is really the sweet spot. We go on to discuss the vital importance of self-care in making sure you're able to show up for the people you serve, why it's crucial to have a proper understanding of what "balance" really means when it comes to work & life, and the exciting new group program that Marshall has coming up in April! To refresh your memory on who Marshall is, he's first and foremost a dedicated husband and father. He values family above all else and places the utmost importance on striking a work/life balance for himself and those he mentors. Over the past 35 years, Marshall has built multiple small businesses and learned first-hand the challenges that most small business owners face. He understands the ups and downs of business ownership and combines this intimate knowledge with his approachable coaching philosophy to develop achievable solutions for those he teaches. He truly believes that we all have greatness within us and the ability to create the life we want on our terms. As a seasoned business owner, Marshall has seen many businesses that grew and succeeded and others that failed miserably. Over the years he became a student of business and leadership – looking at what it takes for someone to succeed in their own business. Today, as a business, leadership, and life coach, he is committed to helping others discover their greatness, his success coming from seeing others become the leaders of their businesses and life.

Marc is a heart-centered entrepreneur, co-founder of Energetic Alignment Academy, an MMA fighter, and a sommelier. He has worked with professional athletes, Michelin star chefs, and 9 figure CEOs. In 2019, he left the food and beverage world to pursue his passion for coaching, now he’s coaching 100s of clients and creating impact in the world.

Most coaches focus on building and achieving. Marc's system and style are the exact opposite. He focuses on removing the layers that are getting in your way. It may sound cliche, but you already have everything you need within you. It’s the years of conditioning and fortifying false beliefs that are standing between you and the life you desire.

Marc believes that energetic alignment with your true path is the key to rediscovering yourself and ultimately achieving your dreams.

This was one of my favorite conversations even amongst the wonderful chats I've had with so many wonderful coaches. Marc's the real deal, and his purpose is clearly a natural result of his passion. You won't meet a more authentic and inspiring coach.

Also, beginning on May 8th, Marc is running a 3-day LIVE workshop on attracting your ideal clients. He runs these on a fairly regular basis, but if you can catch this one I highly recommend it. Find the link to sign up down below!

When I reached out to Althea to come back on the podcast, I asked her if there was any topic in particular that she felt called to speak on. She responded with, "The value of sales". I knew that would be a fruitful conversation, but it was even better and more expansive than I'd imagined! In today's episode, we explore how "sales" is often considered a dirty word by some, but really it's about finding the right ways to serve your ideal prospects. We touch on the importance of both quality AND qualifying questions in determining whether or not the "fit" is right for everyone, as well as the value of intention and attention in showing up for the people you seek to serve. We cover a LOT more ground as our conversation evolves, but you'll just have to listen to get the rest! ;) Althea is the owner of a Christ-Centered Leadership Development Firm that grows your profitable Spirit-Led business with a tailored strategy, expert coaching, and God’s blueprint.
