On this episode I'm joined by the brilliant Nicola Buckley, talking about how coaching helps you to be the real true you leading from the inside out.

Nicola has recently graduated from Optimus' professional coach diploma. However, she has been a coach for many years and has tons of expertise in the field.

Here are the highlights:

{1:31} Nicola Buckley's background

{6:10} Leading from the inside out

{7:40} Be the anchor in your own life

{9:23} The bounce back ability

{12:17} Levelling up through qualifications

{14:42} I don't want to be just good... I want to be great

{17:11} What's next?

Today's episode is a bit more personal. It's more about me and who I am, both as the CEO of Optimus and as a coach and person.

I believe that you can translate this into your clients as a coach, into what you do and who you are. So I want you to ask yourself - am I truly playing big?

Here are the highlights: {2:25} Are you playing big? {3:47} You were put here to do more {5:50} The fear of success {8:36} Working on feeling safe and secure

On this episode I am talking about how you can step into being a CEO in your business, and what you really need to let go of from a coaching point of view.

Here are the highlights:

{1:31} What gets you here doesn't get you there

{3:38} You have to step out of the business to scale

{6:29} Create a business that doesn't depend on you

{7:32} The dangers of letting your business stagnate

If you have checked out the new podcast artwork, you will see that Optimus is there, and you may be wondering what this is all about.

On this podcast, I'll be delving into what has made us move to this branding, what Optimus means, what that means for potential, current and future clients, and why I believe this move is going to be making waves in the coaching industry.

Here are the highlights:

{1:51} Introducing Optimus

{3:55} Best in class training

{5:42} We believe in being the best we can be

{7:26} Supporting people to become the best coaches

{9:03} The value of external coaches

I'm seeing more and more people say, well, if you've got the natural skills as a coach, you can just go and start and do it. And I want to talk about the dangers of this.

We need to make sure that we are fully protected, and that not only protects us, but it protects our clients. If you are not trained, or in training as a coach, even if you do have professional indemnity insurance - if this is what you're offering, you are probably not legally covered.

Here are the highlights:

{1:59} Imagine if your hairdresser wasn't insured

{2:54} Looking after outward appearances is more important than looking after our mind

{5:50} Do you really have appropriate training to call yourself a coach?

{7;24} Consumers are becoming are discerning

{10:00} It's about refining

{12:29} It's much more difficult to start a sustainable business
