If you’re an executive coach who wants to grow your business, especially with more corporate clients, but you think you just might be getting in your own way? This episode is for you.

You might notice that you’re not doing the things that would really move the needle, like reaching out to people in your warm network, posting on LinkedIn, or showing up more visibly. It’s not that you don’t know what to do; it’s that something deeper keeps getting in the way.

In this episode, I’ll share the subtle ways fear and self-protection limit your growth, and the emotional, financial, and even personal cost of staying stuck in that pattern.

Here’s what I cover:
✅ How fear shows up as “reasonable excuses” in your business.
✅ Why playing it safe on LinkedIn or avoiding outreach keeps you stuck.
✅ The hidden energy drain that comes from inaction.
✅ How negative beliefs about sales and visibility quietly hold you back.
✅ The real cost, in time, opportunity, and confidence, when you keep yourself small.

I’ll also talk about what it looks like to step into a bigger version of yourself as a business owner, one who embraces discomfort, visibility, and bold action without getting caught in perfectionism.

If this episode resonates with you and you’re ready to stop playing small, I’d love to support you inside The Corporate to Coach Accelerator. It’s a 12-month hands-on coaching program that helps executive and leadership coaches attract more corporate clients with a marketing and growth strategy you can maintain in under five hours a week.
