Do you ever find yourself thinking, “No one can know I’m struggling with this”? I’ve been there. But this thought might be one of the most dangerous beliefs you can carry as a coach. It’s normal to think you can’t show vulnerability, but what I’ve learned over time is that transparency doesn’t make us less of a coach. It makes us more human and more relatable to our clients.

In this episode, I dive into why trying to hide our fails from our clients only isolates us, increases pressure, and ultimately weakens our ability to serve them. I’ll also share how my own struggles with transparency have shaped my approach to coaching, and how embracing vulnerability has created deeper connections with my clients. Perfection is a myth, and it’s time we start normalizing the messy parts of coaching and business.

Many coaches hesitate to ask for testimonials, feeling they’re self-promotional or uncomfortable to request. This hesitation often comes from misunderstandings about what testimonials are really for. What if I told you they aren’t about you at all? In fact, testimonials are a gift - not only to you, but to your clients as well.

What you're about to discover will transform how you think about, ask for, and use testimonials in your business. I'm sharing specific strategies, alternative approaches for different niches (yes, even the private ones), and why celebrating your clients' growth through testimonials actually deepens their transformation. Plus, you'll hear Amanda Gold's powerful testimonial at the end that demonstrates exactly what I mean about testimonials being a gift.
