The Coaching Hub Podcast

In the online space, it does seem that if somebody has got to six figures in their business, people then think that they are the perfect person to help others get to six figures on their own. 

I am going to be blasting through some myths here, and I'm going to be talking about the difference between mentoring and coaching, how many people do a blend as well as what is actually important in my opinion, from a consumer point of view.

Here are the highlights:

{3:16} Do you talk about your client's results?

{4:20} Saying no to the cookie-cutter business model

{6:21} How we're often sold a dream online

{8:51} How you can be more curious as a pure coach if you don't have experience in what the client is talking about

{10:12} How we can believe that somebody's success is enough for them to help us be more successful in our own field

{12:09} Figuring out if a coach or mentor is for you

{13:32} Who are you choosing to work with you and walk alongside you to take you to the next level?

Coaching helps clients find a solution to a problem – right? That’s right. But that’s not all coaches do. 

The problems our clients present can be a reflection of something deeper going on. Usually, there’s something more behind a single situation. 

 As coaches, it’s our job to uncover those layers and unearth what’s happening. Only then, can we create transformative change.  

How do we get to the root of the problem? We need to coach the whole person. 

In this episode, Ruth discusses how we can begin to coach the entire person in front of us to achieve deeper change.

At Optimus, we’ve updated two of our courses. Check out: 

The Coaching Fundamentals for brand-new coaches – designed to teach  you the basics of coaching and equip you with foundational knowledge

Developing Your Coaching Skills for existing coaches – designed to upgrade your existing coaching skills and take you to the next level of your career 

Both are self-paced courses made up of digestible sessions, workbooks and monthly calls to practise what you learn. 

Explore the Coaching Fundamentals course here. 

Discover Developing Your Coaching Skills here. 

If you complete either of these courses, you’ll get £497 OFF any of our diplomas.

In this episode I’m going to talk about how completing a coaching qualification can help you to become more self-aware and in turn have more self-acceptance..

In the process of finding higher self-awareness you can also learn about your strengths and weaknesses and learn how to leverage them to become a fantastic coach.

Here are the highlights from this episode:

{0:51} The truth about what becoming a coach is really about

{3:03} How self-awareness can be about self-acceptance

{7:00} Understanding what we truly want

{8:56} Acknowledging who you are and where you are

{11:11} The power of coaching

In this episode I’m going to be talking about how self-awareness is our greatest gift. When we're aware of self, we can be aware of others, but on top of that, when we're really aware of who we are and how we operate and all of those things that go on underneath our behaviours, then we can change them. 

The big thing that people get from my professional coach diploma is the gift of self-awareness and self-development, and that is something that will stay with you forever. 

Here are the highlights from this episode:

{1:50} What does self-awareness mean?

{4:41} What are most people motivated by?

{6:56} Where our behaviour originates from

{8:01} Making the change from being self-aware
