Coaches on a Mission

Welcome to episode 4 in our special 5 part series. All week, I’m reflecting on some of the lessons I’ve learned and observed this year inside of the Hive.  Today, I want to talk about making mistakes.  More specifically, how doing something wrong is actually required in order to get it right? And I get it, ok? Honestly, saying that makes me gag a little bit because I don't like making mistakes, es...

We are back with another bonus episode today! My goal is to help you learn from some of the lessons I’ve observed this year inside of the Hive and, of course, doing the work inside of my own business. On Monday we talked about the importance of solving the right problems. And Tuesday we talked about the value of centering the client whenever you feel stuck rather than centering yourself  Well, tod...

We are dropping into your podcast feed all week long with quick bonus episodes designed to reveal themes and lessons that I have observed this year inside of The Hive.  Yesterday, we talked about the importance of solving the right problems. Today we will talk about what is probably my number one lesson of the whole year.  Which is why— as values-driven coaches — we have to center the client inste...

 Happy October — This is the time of year where I know for me and so many other coaches start to dream, plan, and prepare for the year to come. So to help you make next year a breakthrough year in your business I've cooked up 5 bonus episodes that we will drop each day this week! And today is all about how to know you are solving the right problems in your business We are rolling out these special...

Today, we’re going to talk about visibility… which is a priority and an obstacle for a lot of the coaches I meet when they join the Hive.   You know you need to put yourself out there in order to attract clients.  Yet putting yourself out there can feel scary.  So perfectionism steps in… …Or imposter syndrome… …Or the countless distractions that keep us all playing small.  Well, my guest today has...

As coaches, we’ve all had those moments where we’ve held ourselves back.  Whether it’s fear, perfectionism, distraction, or overwhelm… as humans, we’ve all been there.  It’s painful, especially when we know we’re doing it, yet we just can’t seem to break free from our sabotaging behaviors.  This episode is one of my favorites because we tackle self-sabotage head on.  Now, this episode originally a...

Do you ever feel like people love the work you do, yet nobody wants to pay you for it?  That was the case for today’s guest, Jill Valdez. Jill loves helping small business owners bring out the best in their teams to optimize performance and productivity.   In fact, Jill loves helping people so much that she’s always giving her services away for free.  So, Jill needed some concrete tools to move ou...

Today's episode is the second in a special 4 part series where I’ve chosen some of my favorite, most impactful episodes to highlight.   We’ve put this series together because let’s face it… 125 episodes is no small feat and, especially if you’re new around here… some of these conversations are too valuable NOT to share with you again.  We also want to highlight some of the episodes included in our...

Today’s episode is the first in a special series we will roll out this month.  Now that we are 125 episodes in and our audience has grown significantly, I wanted to revisit some of my favorite early episodes because they’re just so jam-packed with value and I’m willing to bet you haven’t had the chance to hear them yet.  So, for the next 4 weeks, we’re going to feature some updated episodes design...

What are you known for?   When it comes to your work as a coach, how would your audience complete this sentence?  Oh… I know them… they’re the __________________ coach.   That blank… is really important.  And if your marketing is at all confusing, you’ll get a different answer to that exercise from every person you ask.  Especially if you have a wide range of expertise.   And, if your audience is...

Today, let’s take our conversation about mini courses even further.   My guest today is Jodi Geline who helps women eliminate bloat once and for all.  Jodi healed her own chronic bloat and IBS years ago and it was then that she realized how important mindset, inner work, and spiritual healing are to your health.  And this message is one Jodi works to share with her clients.  But here’s the thing…...

My guest today is Li Huo who helps exhausted Health Care Professionals find fulfillment and joyful purpose again in their career so that they can enjoy their lives now instead of waiting until retirement. So, Li came into our conversation with a big bright idea to offer up one time paid workshops to her audience in order to accomplish three goals:  1: Li’s audience doesn’t really understand coachi...

My guest today, Tirrell Cherry, uses tools such as hypnosis, meditation, breathwork & tarot to help clients create breakthroughs and gain clarity on what shifts are asking to be created. Tirrell is obsessed with manifestation and loves helping spiritual entrepreneurs who want to unlock the confidence to step into a leadership role as a healer and build a thriving business that supports the life th...

As your business grows, here’s what you can expect…  An ebb and a flow.   You will enter into big periods of expansion when you put yourself out there in a bigger way, or you launch a course, or hire a team… expansion is all about growing.  But there’s an equally essential phase that supports expansion.  And that’s containment.  If all you do is grow grow grow, you’ll eventually burst.  Containmen...

Here’s a question for you.   What’s the point?   The online space offers up countless strategies you could implement in your coaching business to bring in more clients.   But what’s the point?   This is a crucial question you must ask yourself before you take on any marketing strategy.  If you don’t, you could end up being really busy… doing a lot of work.. And even generating results.  But those...

Today’s episode was so much fun to record and I cannot wait for you to dive in!   My guest is Stephanie Dethlefs. She helps writers who have a story on their heart find clarity and accountability so they can finally write their novels. Stephanie is ready to introduce power groups to her community. And, well, I love designing power groups! That’s one reason this episode was so much fun for me!  So,...

Today’s episode is REALLY going to inspire you!  My guest is Monique Bryan who is pretty much a branding genius. And in this episode, we’ll dive into the what, why and how behind your personal brand.  Now, if like me, you sometimes wonder if you’re cool or different enough to even have a personal brand, Monique is the PERFECT person to convince you otherwise.  We talk about: —why every coach needs...

Today, we’re going to talk about marketing.  Listen, I believe that marketing should never leave a bad taste in your mouth. And my guest, Christina Smith, agrees.  She’s also really clear that she doesn’t want to spend all of her time marketing instead of coaching. So together we started to create a marketing plan designed to leverage what’s already working in her business and eliminate all of the...

This week we’re going to take our course launching conversation even further with my guest, Matthew Eriksen.  Matthew is a very gifted designer and brand expert. He helps service-based entrepreneurs put themselves out there with a clear, confident, and cohesive brand so they can spend less time worrying about the look and feel of their business and more time doing what they love. Matthew really wa...

This episode dives into one of my favorite things to teach about. Course Launches. This might surprise you because we don’t talk about course launching very often on this show, but launching is actually one of my super powers.  But there’s a good reason why this show doesn’t over-emphasize course launches. And that’s because too many experts in the online space tout the myth that anybody can just...

Today’s bonus episode will take the quiz conversation we started on Sunday’s episode even further because my favorite Quiz Expert will share some important things to consider before you design a quiz.  So, let me introduce Chanti Zak. Chanti is a business growth coach, strategist, and agency owner sometimes lovingly known as the quiz queen (though she doesn’t *really* call herself that), she’s the...

We are back to talk some more about lead magnets and today we’ll get pretty specific and focus on how to design a quiz.  My guest today is Valerie Recore. She helps overwhelmed moms spend quality time with their families without feeling pulled in too many directions, giving them a sense of control over their days without guilt or chaos. And Valerie wants a lead magnet that’s easy for her audience...
