The Coaching r(E)volution

As part of our month-long focus on the Ethics of Leadership, we take a look today at the challenges and importance of admitting our mistakes as leaders. 

In order to be not only ethical and trauma-informed in our client work, but also highly effective and transformational coaches and practitioners, it is essential to be able to own up to our mistakes.

We need this on all levels of leadership!

In the episode, we cover:

⇒ what happens in our communities and with our clients when we don’t own our mistakes

⇒ a story about a crucial moment where I made a huge mistake…and what I did…and what happened next (the most important part!)

⇒ what lies underneath the difficulties of owning mistakes and how to move forward

This episode is short but a really important toe-dip into one of the most important topics of coaching and leadership.

We’re devoting a whole month to The Ethics of Leadership here at Applied Depth Institute because it is one of the most important pieces for anyone who is a coach, transformational practitioner, or leader of any sort….and the truth is that Ethics and Integrity just aren’t talked about enough in the coaching & transformational industries. 

Ethics and Integrity is one of the bedrocks of being a stellar practitioner. You cannot be an exceptional practitioner if your client practices aren’t based in ethics & integrity. And the same is true for building a sustainable business.

In today’s episode, we cover:

⇒ the importance of the Ethics of Leadership

⇒ why people of integrity still need to learn ethical practices

⇒ I share a personal story that gets to the heart of what can go wrong when ethics are absent

⇒ 3 vital coaching principles that support you to be more ethical in your client (& sales) work

I hope you enjoy!

As a people and culture, we are holding a lot right now.

Multiple ongoing wars around the world. Hurricanes, tornadoes and weather disasters that are devastating. Stressful news cycles and at least here in the U.S., a political culture that can sometimes feel stressful. And that is just scratching the surface of how much each of us and each of our clients are holding at this moment.

Ongoing crisis for such a sustained amount of time – whether it touches us directly or not, and no matter how evolved we are, and what our “attitude” or mindset is – is going to take its toll. 

As coaches & practitioners, it’s also so important to hold our clients with special care through difficult times, no matter what kind of work you do.

In today’s episode I share with you some powerful Sacred Depths principles to help you better support yourself and your clients.

You’ll learn:

⇒ 5 different but vital coaching concepts for helping clients in difficult times

⇒ the first, most important thing to do for your clients during difficult times

⇒ why you need to get really comfortable with being uncomfortable

⇒ what “Honoring What Is” is, and why it’s a vital coaching skill

If you’d like to accelerate your ability to really meet all of your client’s needs and to be the kind of coach or practitioner that people talk about in good times and in tough times as the ONE who really helped them transform and reach their goals, join us for Sacred Depths!

Success in our goals, our careers, our lives is of course, valuable and important. But…what happens when we start to overly identify with success or symbols of status? How does this end up blocking up from our goals and holding us back from transformation?

We explore all of this and more in today’s episode where we unpack a piece of the Myth of Inanna’s Descent - one of my favorite all time myths!

It’s a deep and layered exploration - part storytelling, part introspection, part looking at how we help our clients….even mixed in with a public service announcement or two from me! (I get pretty passionate about some things!).

In this episode you’ll learn about:

⇒ the power of mythology and how it can help you in your life

=> Inanna’s Descent (one of the oldest stories out there!)

⇒ what happens when we cling to worldly success and symbols of power & respect

⇒ why it’s important to make the metaphoric journey to the Underworld

⇒ 3 of the 4 Sacred Depths pillars, and which skills you need to help clients unpack messaging that has seeped in through culture

I revisit the myth of Inanna’s Descent every single year for myself - that’s how important it is. I hope you’ll find it as meaningful and rich as I do!

“Joanna, what does your typical work day look like and how do you get so much done in a day?” I got asked this question recently by someone in the The Coaching r(E)volution community, and the answer is so good….filled with so many tips and so much inspiration for you…that I had to make a podcast episode about it!

Getting a lot done definitely is a key to one of my successes in business, but it doesn’t happen by chance - I prepare for it, I have some very specific systems and practices to make it happen…and I’m spilling the beans on it.

In this episode we cover:

–step by step what I do on each of my work days

–the productive art of blueprinting

–the #1 thing I do every morning that keeps me motivated to take action

–my unexpected wake-up activity!

I am positive that you’ll walk away from this episode with at least one thing you’re excited to fold into your work days so that they are more productive, and….lots of ideas on how to help your clients when they need support to get more done!

And, as promised, here is the link to the Sacred Depths Transformational Practitioner Training. We begin in October and this is an incredible opportunity to learn exactly how to grow your business organically through referrals, renewals and stellar reputation.

Picture this scenario: You’re doing great work with a client or with someone in a group you’re leading. And in the work, you show up as your awesome self with your wonderful personality. And then one day, maybe at the end of a session or maybe in an email, says “I love our sessions so much and also I feel like we have so much in common. Do you want to grab coffee?”

 In other words….what do you do when a client wants to hang out as friends? Is it the right thing to do? Is it the wrong thing to do? Would it be weird? How do I make this moment that they’re asking not be weird? Is it even allowed or ethical?

That’s what we’re going to be discussing today. So that you can be empowered and do the quote unquote right thing when this situation comes up! And this is an important topic not just about friendship, but about your coaching container with your client…keeping it clean and trustworthy and empowering and effective.

Having consistent income sources are vital to having a sustainable business, and to not being on the roller coaster of feast or famine. Consistent Income is also key if you don’t want to be constantly scrambling because you’re not sure where your next clients are coming from. 

And yet most marketing strategies that experts teach these days are expensive, take a lot of time and energy, and not so reliable.

In this episode, I unpack the 3 main strategies I use in my business that consistently bring in at least 80% of my revenue.  These strategies are way easier & effective than most other marketing strategies out there…and much, much cheaper.

I break down how and why they are important and work so well, and give you a lot of tips on how to get them going in your own business. This is one of those episodes where I really pull the curtains back so you can see a lot of how my income generation works.

Some programs I referenced in the episode:

⇒ Here is the link to Become a Referral Magnet.

There is early bird pricing right now on this epic training and experience that will give you the tools you need to become the kind of coach who is known for your stellar work and for being able to help your clients through their fears, limiting beliefs, self-sabotage, blocks and obstacles.

For today’s episode I wanted to share a couple of the truths and pearls of wisdom that no one taught me when I was training to become a coach, and they are things I WISH I would have known sooner. 

I learned them the hard way – through years and years and years of working with clients and with myself. And I want to give you a little bit of a faster track on this so that you can be more effective in your work right away

Some things we cover:

==Why prioritizing clarity and happiness can backfire (and what to focus on instead)

== The power of "Being in the Mystery" with clients

==my personal commitment to my own inner work

==Unconventional "Celebrating Skills" that elevate your coaching

….and so much more!

The Fear of Visibility and the fear of being seen are such common fears that come up for clients we coach…but also the fear of visibility or being seen is one of the TOP fears of many coaches.

So we are tackling it in this week’s episode! Because I want YOU to feel more free and confident to put yourself out there, to share with the world about your incredible work, and to create more of what you want.

The more you can work with the fear of being seen - for yourself & with your clients - the more you are able to take those visibility actions that can sometimes feel so hard to take.

In the episode, I:

⇒ share a personal story of my first headshots and how I was self-sabotaging big time

⇒ break down what the fear of being seen looks like & how to spot it in clients (& yourself)

⇒ explore  the deeper, core fear underneath being seen and why you need to work with it

This week’s episode is a coaching demonstration, yay!

One of the keys to becoming a more and more masterful and extraordinary practitioner is being a fly on the wall and observing transformational coaching sessions…

…and that’s what I got for you today!

In this profound coaching session with Mary Ellen, you will learn the importance of really drilling down into client intentions for a tight and productive session, as well as how to keep the experience loose enough so that it has the space for magical breakthroughs to emerge.

My hope is that the entire episode will leave you excited and inspired to go deeper with your own clients!

In the session, we explore:

⇒ the importance of observing coaching demonstration and why I provide so many in Sacred Depths

⇒ going very deep in a session  - even when it’s not long and you don’t have a lot of context yet on your client!

⇒ the delicate and powerful balance of clarifying intentions while not being attached to agendas in a coaching session

⇒ why it’s ok to be a little nervous when we coach

(& of course you also get to observe tons of effective coaching skills, listening skills, questioning skills and a little somatic work)

Enjoy!
