In this episode, I share a powerful reminder of why the name you give yourself as a coach is one of the most important business decisions you’ll make.

This conversation is for anyone who is coaching-curious, newly qualified, or already coaching and has ever felt the stigma of the term "Life Coach." We explore whether it is more skillful to use a different name that better describes your unique value and the professional depth of what you actually do in the room with your clients.

This is not about chasing titles or building something overnight. It is about creating clarity for your clients, stepping into a specialist arena, and understanding how to educate the world on the professional power of coaching as a tool for exploring the mind.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why the word "Coach" standalone is often misinterpreted
• The truth about the stigma of "Life Coaching" and how to overcome it
• Why professionalism and treble accreditation are the future of the industry
• Where coaching sits on the wellbeing spectrum (The -10 to +10 team)
• How to use "Expert Arenas" to find a title that actually resonates
• Creative alternatives to "Coach" like Strategist, Architect, and Designer
• The secret to being a specialist rather than a generalist
