The Coaching Hub Podcast

I'm delighted to start our mini-series with the wonderful Hillary Thompson. During this mini-series, I'm going to be interviewing people who have done our coach training or who are on our coach training, or they're talking about the way that they coach and how coaching has helped them. 

Hillary works with passionate and driven people who have decided they want to make a change in their business or personal life. 

At the time of recording, she has nearly graduated from the October course and it has been an absolute delight to have her.

We're talking in this episode all about never being too old to start something new.

Here are the highlights:

{2:48} The moment Hilary decided to do something she loved and that meant something to her

{4:36} How Hillary got into Coaching

{6:40} Coach training as a journey of discovery and self-belief

What is a values-based business? And how do you build one?

In this week's episode, I unravel how we built our business based on our values, and give you some insight on the steps you can take to discover what your values are and how to implement them into your business. As a business and mindset coach, I help those that are ready to grow their business and have the fulfillment, freedom and financial rewards they desire. Does that sound like you?

It’s time to get clear on what your values are, why those are your values, and how they show up in your business. From there, you can use these as a container to make better business decisions every single day.

In today’s episode, I'm talking about one of the secrets to success. And guess what? This is not a 10 step formula. I'm not going to get you to download something. This is really what I believe has made me successful and makes lots of other people successful.

I think it was Jim Roan who said you are the product of the five people that you spend the most time with. The people that we spend time with both in our personal lives and in our business impact how successful we are and the way that they do that is that they impact our thinking. 

Here are the highlights from this episode:

{1:43} Modeling how successful people think

{2:40} How Mentors help

{3:58} How Coaches help

{6:13} ICF research about the number of successful small business owners who are successful

{7:28} How group work can make you feel more confident, motivated and can lead to better results.

{11:11} How my mastermind can help you

In this episode, I'm lifting the lid on the seven-figure business. Let's be honest. We can measure this in so many different ways. Is it all sales? Is it all cash and bank?

Is it on profit? Part of the confusion I see online is that when people are talking about seven figures, they are including any of those. So I wanted to talk about what is a seven-figure business. Is it what we all need to aspire to, or really, is it a benchmark that is there for some people?

Here are the highlights from the episode:

{2:09} How we can use money as a measurement tool in our businesses

{3:26} Our beliefs about money

{4:26} What money represents for you

{5:41} How much money do we actually need?

{6:48} Deciding what’s important to you right now

{7:53} What money can allow you to do

{9:28} Is the business you want to grow the one you have?

{12:47} How you won’t always make the right decisions

{14:07} Sacrifices 

{14:43} Behind the scenes of a 7 figure business

{16:16} Ruth’s Mastermind opportunity

In today's episode, we're exploring what a coach does. We know that the word coach is pretty widely spread, and is used really for a whole range of interventions. 

In an unregulated industry, I want to talk about what the  ICF version of a coach does. The ICF is the International Coaching Federation, and they are the biggest coaching accreditation body in the world, and probably the most respected. There are other coaching accreditation bodies available, I do have to mention that. We're going to look at it from a pure coaching perspective. 

If you are looking to work with somebody who is a qualified and accredited coach, you need to look out for a few things. Let's dive in!

Here are the highlights from this episode:

{2:45} Finding out the training a coach has completed

{3:25} What to expect from pure coaching

{5:27} The importance of having a coach skilled enough to go under the surface

{10:29} How pure coaching differs from other interventions

Today, I'm talking about mindset. We love that word, don't we? So I'd love you to think about what mindset means for you. 

For me, I see mindset as the belief that we can do something. So if we have a strong mindset, then we are really confident in our belief that we're able to do whatever we put our minds to and overcome any challenges. 

I also think that when we look at mindset in this way, it's really about those thoughts and beliefs that we hold about our ability not only to do what we want to do but to overcome any challenges that happen along the way. Because in life, things are not always as easy as they seem. 

So how can coaching transform your thoughts, your beliefs, your feelings, and your emotions so that you feel that you have those resources inside of you so that you can tackle anything head-on?

Let’s dive in and find out.

Here are the highlights from this episode:

{2:49} What will be different about this year if you've not done the work on your mindset?

{3:41} Recognising unhelpful thinking patterns

{4:37} How the work you do on yourself is visible in your energy

{5:53} How coaching can help to reprogram limiting beliefs

{9:47} How coaching helps to explore what happens between the brain and the mouth or hand
