In this Career Coaching Secrets episode, host Rexhen interviews Blaine Bartlett, a world-renowned executive coach and author. Having coached since the 1970s, Blaine shares his philosophy of "leading from behind," where a coach's role is to help clients find their own answers and focus on personal growth over simple goal attainment.

Blaine's high-ticket clients find him through referrals, not social media. His business is a "lifestyle business" focused on impact, not scaling, and he works with a select four to five clients per year. His most valuable investments include his work with Frederick Hudson and his ongoing pursuit of a PhD.

His biggest challenge is helping leaders navigate "relational disruption" caused by change. His advice to coaches is to become a "center of distribution"—giving away value freely to build reciprocity and have a greater impact.
