Delegate Like a CEO

I loved revisiting this episode with Harriet Evans, one of my previous long term Coaching clients for this ‘hot take’ episode, taken from something we recorded almost two years ago!

She talks about her journey from motorsport event world, to becoming a VA, intentionally choosing me as her coach to help her uncover her strengths, make a practical plan for her business and pivot from VA to booked out OBM in under 12 weeks.

We also discuss the Coaching relationship we had and how I always asked her to dive deeper into her thoughts and reasoning, so that everything she did felt in alignment with who she was and what she wanted to do.

It’s a positive and inspiring chat about transitions and what can unfold so magically when you put grit and determination into your business.

I’ll definitely be getting Harriet back on the podcast to discuss what life and business looks like for her after 2 years in business and 2 years of coaching.

This is a much needed ‘hot take’ episode, pulled from a much loved interview with my darling friend and fellow Coach Rachel Kurzyp, all about business owner burnout.

From how it showed up for Rachel, so you can look for the signs yourself, to knowing that even service pros…well, especially service pros and coaches need support too, but how often we fail to ask for it.

It’s such a permission giving clip, and if anything in this clip resonated - you’re not alone.

Feel free to slide into mine and Rachel’s DM’s, if this hit home for you, we’d love to hear from you (it makes our day).

As I’ve had the pleasure of sharing time through my podcast interviews with some phenomenal women and so I’m distilling some of the best wisdom they gave us from the most loved episodes into ‘Hot Takes’.

This clip is taken from Episode 6, which you can listen to here, with Brand Strategist and friend Asia Dore and it birthed her iconic quote:

“Honestly, I think that my biggest f*ck up was not allowing myself the audacity to be a bad b*tch sooner.”

She dives into how our brand isn’t what we think it is, it’s what our clients think of us because we’ve crafted it to be the best of us in a way that speaks directly to them and helps build connection.

It was a fascinating episode to listen to if you’ve ever felt so nervous about ‘taking up space’ online, showing up, creating content and worrying about how you’ll be perceived - this is the clip you need to listen to today.

Don’t forget to give Confessions of a CEO a rate and review over on Apple, it helps me reach even more incredible women who might really need to hear this and more today.

Thanks for listening!

If you’ve ever wondered how you could get to a point where you don’t lose it when a client leaves, today I’m bringing you a dose of true business owner ups and downs as I share how losing three in one week didn’t have me even breaking a sweat and how I landed two discovery calls almost immediately.

I’m also sharing exactly what’s kept me in business for five years and what you can and should be doing in your business every week and sometimes daily, to make sure you don’t fret when clients move on.

If you liked what you heard and need support in your business too so you’ve got epic offers and know what to do to get new clients over and over again, you can explore booking an Intensive Offer Blueprint session with me.

In this chat between us as friends and coaches , Abi and I are talking all about the importance of niching and how niche-ing isn't what you think it is, but how it's actually the thing that gives you the clarity to create frameworks for your offers that make them easy to sell like hot cakes.

We're diving into how creating a framework helps you position yourself as an expert and makes it easier for your ideal clients to find you.

We are also binning some myths including the myth that niching limits your audience and explain how it actually makes it easier for your ideal clients to find you.

We share our own journeys of finding their niches and just what positive changes happened as a result.
