What does it really take to become a professional coach?   In this episode, you'll hear the story of one coach who transitioned from a high-level corporate and nonprofit career into a thriving part-time coaching practice designed to fit her life and values. If you're wondering how to get started, how to build gradually without overwhelm, or how to align your coaching with your faith, this conversation offers clarity and practical guidance.   In this episode, you’ll discover:

• A real-life example of how to transition into coaching from another profession
• Why starting slow can be a smart strategy for long-term success
• How to market your coaching services without pressure or expensive campaigns
• What makes professional training worth the investment
• How to build a sustainable business that supports your life, not the other way around

  You’ll walk away with encouragement, practical ideas, and renewed confidence for taking your next step in the coaching journey.   About Jenn Nickel, PCC Jenn Nickel is a PCC level life and leadership coach who began her training at PCCI in 2018 and joined the faculty this year. She’s had her own coaching practice for 6 years where she partners with for-profit andnon-profit leaders to help them live and lead with intentionality.   Before she began coaching, she spent 13 years with a multi-national insurance company in roles ranging from product development to sales and marketing, working with Wall Street and institutional investors. During some of that time, she and her husband Mark lived in Dublin, Ireland for her job. Once her children were born, Jenn moved into a decade of non-profit work in her city where she held various board and staff roles and was chairperson of the board of a non-profit she helped start. Now she gets to utilize her experience in for-profit and non-profit as she coaches leaders in both of those worlds.
