If you’re a coach who wants to grow—not just check a box—this is for you.

Mentor Program

If you're working toward your ACC or PCC credential, or if it's time to recertify your ACC mentor, coaching isn't just a requirement on a checklist. It's one of the most transformative investments you can make in yourself and your coaching. I've taught or mentored over 2000 coaches, and I hear the same thing again and again. I came because I had to, and I am so glad that I did. Coaches tell me they walk away with renewed energy, deeper confidence and a community of peers who genuinely support each other. Here's what you need to know right now. Mentor coaching must span a minimum of three months, so the time to start is not when your credential is just about to expire. And if you complete your hours in 2026, you get ahead of the upcoming ICF changes, which means peace of mind along with skill development. My fall cohort is already filling up. Every group is capped at ten.

Do you need clarity on coaching the person rather than the problem? You’ve chosen the right show to learn more masterful coaching skills from today’s expert guest. Join us!

Dr. Marcia Reynolds is a Master Certified Coach who is the president of Covisioning, a leadership training and coaching firm. She is a former ICF President who is hired by organizations around the world to evoke transformation through conversations.

Marcia was a previous guest on Episode 40, in which we talked about emotional intelligence, and I’m delighted to welcome her back to the show.

Show Highlights:

• What is reflective inquiry? (and what it is not)
• Why the offer for reflection is always an invitation to the client
• Marcia’s three tips for coaching the person, not the problem:
• Set the expectation with an agreement.
• Maintain the belief that our clients are whole and resourceful.
• Know when to shift from the situation into coaching the person. 
• How to partner with a client for their growth in asking the right questions for transformation
• Why people need to be seen, heard, and valued in order to grow
• Why coaching the person is very different than simply asking lots of questions
• Why the foundation of the power of coaching is giving people the ability to observe their thinking

One of my favorite topics is learning more about mindset, thinking, and how our brains work. As much as the world’s experts already understand, we are probably just beginning to scratch the surface of the power and potential of our thinking. Today’s conversation asks and answers the question, “Is your mind lying to you?” Let’s learn more together in today’s show!

Dr. Don Booz is the founder of Booz and Associates, Inc., an executive and organizational development firm. While he is educated as a marriage and family therapist, he is also an executive coach, a master coach in conversational intelligence, and a master practitioner in NLP (neuro-linguistic programming). He is best known as a conversational anthropologist. Dr. Booz is the author of two books, Your Brain is Lying: How to Silence Your Inner Critic and The Emotional Intelligence Primer for Today’s Leaders: How to be the Difference that Makes the Difference. Dr. Booz shares specific strategies that you can apply today to get out of your own way in moving forward. 

Show Highlights

• How to understand the basics of our limiting beliefs, thinking, and self-talk
• How to become aware of negative self-talk in internal and external forms (the ANTS–”automatic negative thoughts”)
• How to use Dr. Booz’s emotional intelligence filter before you say/write something: “Does it need to be said? Does it need to be said by me? Does it need to be said by me now?”
• How to identify your emotional triggers and audit your thinking
• How women in the medical field often battle with imposter syndrome
• How to combat negative self-talk with tools, like affirmations, meditation, breathing, journaling, mirror work, etc.

We need help focusing our attention on the most productive steps in building a coaching business. Let’s learn more about strengthening the four pillars of your thriving coaching business!

Lee Chaix McDonough is the founder of Coach with Clarity, a training and education company for life and business coaches.

Show Highlights:

• Why Lee is passionate about working with coaches

• The Four Pillars:
• Identity–Who do I want to be as a coach? What do I want to be known for?
• Audience–Who do I most want to serve?

• Offer–What results will my client receive when they pay for my coaching services?
• A closer look at Identity and how to get clear about roles, core values, alignment, and expressing what matters most
• How the Valued Living Questionnaire (VLQ) can help clarify your core values (and your clients’ core values)

Our words are important! There is great power in the words we use, and they are the key to all spoken and written communication. Today’s show takes a look at how our word choices affect our responses, motivations, and actions we take. Our words come into play in the self-talk we tell ourselves and also in our language with others, either prompting forward movement and growth or potentially shutting down all growth. Join me as we examine our communication through the lens of two words in this question: Is it an excuse or an explanation?

Show Highlights:

• What an excuse is–and how it’s used to bypass all accountability and ownership
• What an explanation is–and how it’s used to seek to clarify, understand, and learn
• How an excuse blocks our creativity and any path forward, keeping us in a fear-based state
• How an explanation sees through the lens of reason to find a path to a solution
• How an excuse costs us, keeps us powerless and stuck, and won’t help us meet our goals
• How excuses make us small and invisible, blocking our dreams from coming true
• How I’ve seen excuses and explanations come into play as a therapist and coach
• My challenge: What would shift for you if you recognize your excuses as excuses?
• How your excuses can turn into explanations that give choices and options
• How to identify the smallest thing you can do to begin to make progress and shift your words from excuses to explanations
• Examples of resources that can help you move forward in shifting from excuses to explanations
• My advice for taking the steps and making the changes in going from excuse to explanation

Is your website bringing traffic to you? Are those website visitors being converted into clients? How do you feel about your website? Today’s guest challenges our thinking and gives his perspective on this crucial part of your business, including how we can maximize website opportunities and turn our website into a profit center.

Through Buzzworthy Integrated Marketing, Buzz teaches people how to use their websites to effectively double their revenue by following his success formula. His passion for helping entrepreneurs comes from his 15-year struggle in his business, so he is relatable and knowledgeable in helping others avoid the time drain and frustration that are common in entrepreneurship. His book, The Rule of 26 for Service-Based Businesses: Three Steps to Doubling Website Revenue, was published in 2021. In today’s show, Buzz shares how we can reach more people, bring more value, and live the lifestyle that we want in today’s digital age. 

Show Highlights:

• How Buzz finds value in helping those in service-centric businesses understand their value and individuality 
• Why the starting point is Strategy
• The mindset shift to think of your website as an expense item to a profit center (⅔ of ALL business today is going through websites!)
• How Buzz’s “Rule of 26” strategy can help you use your website as a profit center
• Why “billing what you are worth” is a pitfall that MUST be addressed
• Why the next step is to create more value for your clients
• How to break down the math to increase your conversion rate by 26%
• Why your website should talk about the most important person: the website visitor (Change your “I” and “me” language to “you” and “your.”)
• Why most entrepreneurs make the common mistake of addressing too many problems and failing to niche down to a particular problem
• What your conversion rate optimization formula looks like: You must identify the problem, form a solution, and create a methodology that revolves around THEM
• How to use your website “About” page to make everything about you actually about THEM
• How to attract people to your website through SEO
• How to change your mindset around time and money
• Why you need to get rid of “PITA” clients and focus on attracting the next echelon up by raising prices and eliminating “tire-kickers” and “plate-lickers”
• Key takeaways about optimized websites: 
• Evaluate your current clients (How many are your perfect clients?), do research on why they are your best clients, make a profile of them, and figure out the commonality between them.
• Evaluate your website (Am I talking to my perfect clients with language focused on them?), address the clients’ problems, show them your success rate, and give them a good call-to-action/offer.

Are you a good communicator? Communication is key in coaching and life. Most especially, communication factors into conflict, both positively and negatively—and we all know that conflict is an unavoidable part of life as a human being. No matter how practiced and eloquent you might be at communicating, there is always room for improvement. Is your communication style as effective as it can possibly be? Join us to learn more in today’s show!

Dr. Debra Dupree is known as the MINDSET Doc as she strives to make a difference in the lives of people. She does this by providing insight and vision that helps them leverage the conflict mindset to gain new perspectives and opportunities. As a Dispute Resolution Specialist, Conflict Leadership Coach, international trainer, and keynote speaker, Debra has a vast history of experience, including work as the former Director of Training for Mediation Training Institute (MTI), where she trained professionals to become workplace mediators throughout North America. She also hosts the Decoding the Conflict Mindset podcast. In this rich interview packed with resources, Debra explains how we can engage with others and use our emotional intelligence to truly communicate rather than just talk to people. 

Show Highlights:

• How Debra became known as the MINDSET Doc
• How Debra’s personal story illustrates what we need to consider in “knowing ourselves”
• How a deeper understanding of self helps us have a greater awareness of conflict 
• Why it is essential to change our mindset about those who see things differently and have a different perspective
• How knowing ourselves helps us build confidence and be comfortable with others’ perspectives
• Tips for better communication: 
• Debra’s 360-degree Perspective (YouTube)
• A focus on “other” options for resolving conflict effectively
• What happens we are emotionally hijacked
• How reflection and nonverbal communication fit into the overall picture of mediation and conflict resolution
• How Debra uses the tool, Three Steps to Mindset Shift (Online Assessment)
• Why productive conversations come with increased emotional intelligence and the ability to “read the room”

Even though coaching is a great way to enhance listening and communication skills, the reality is that NOT everything is a coaching conversation. While that may sound odd on a podcast about coaching, the truth is that coaches sometimes feel confined by the coaching process. It is important to respect the coaching process while exploring the need to give enrichment in other ways beyond questions, reflection, and sharing insights. There are different types of conversations that are needed in coaching situations to communicate effectively. Join me for a deeper look at this topic!

Show Highlights

• Why the most important thing to remember about our conversations is to use the right tool for the job
• The fact: Coaches and leaders need to balance the “telling” and the “asking.” 
• The different kinds of conversations coaches can have: teaching, mentoring, consulting, managing, and psychotherapeutic 
• How we can use different conversations as we determine the best fit for where clients are and what they want to achieve
• Why EVERY conversation we have could benefit from MORE curiosity and LESS judgment
• How the impact of coaching is diminished when we don’t use the most effective form of communication with our clients
• My tips for sharing your knowledge, expertise, and experience as a coach
• Why the space you give for discovery and awareness is a powerful and transformational gift
