The Coaching Hub Podcast

I am naturally a talker, I talk to think, I talk to process and for many years I talked to fill an awkward silence. So how does somebody who loves to talk, who talks to process, who talks to think become a coach? As a coach, silence is our friend: silence gives people processing time, silence means that people can really think and consider their answer, silence doesn’t have to be filled  Silence i...

In this episode, I’m speaking with Michelle Mills, who is an award-winning podcaster and business coach for female entrepreneurs.

I truly believe that coaching is transformational which is why I trained as a coach and have always worked with coaches.  Over the last decade coaching has helped me: Gain confidence in a leadership role  Increase my awareness of my strengths and build on these  Become a better leader and manage my team more effectively  Step out of a secure professional role and start my business  Build two succe...

What is a pop-up product? In this episode, I talk about how I developed my own product which has now sold over 110 units and has got more qualified leads into my business. Pop up products can be a great way to grow your audience and get higher quality leads - I was encouraged to do this after having a few years without these products by my mentor and coach Shaa Wasmund MBE, if you want to sign up...

In a world where it can often feel like we live in an echo chamber, surrounding ourselves with people that think the same as ours, that echo our beliefs and our values, Coaching allows us to have space to really challenge how we think.  I've been reading a fantastic book by Adam Grant called Think Again over the last couple of weeks and what really struck me is that part of the way that we help pe...

I'm delighted to start our mini-series with the wonderful Hillary Thompson.

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 financi...

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 wit...

In this episode, I'm talking all about how we can use comparison to fuel us rather than to stop us from taking any action. I’ll share a story and talk through how you can use comparison effectively.   Here are the highlights from the episode: {2:24} Comparison as the thief of joy {3:21} How we respond to being triggered {5:22} How we go back to old patterns to keep us safe {5:55} seeing comparison...

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 aspi...

This week, I'm talking about something, which I feel deserves its own episode.    If anyone can be a coach, do we really need to train? I'm going to talk about my definition of coaching right now and the difference between coaching, mentoring and other approaches.   Here are the highlights:   {2:54} Untrained coaches who train coaches to be coaches {3:38} The importance of being trained if you are...

In this episode, we're talking about something, which I'm sure a lot of you are going to be really interested to listen to. And that is the growth of coaching.    Coaching is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world and in 2020 it experienced considerable growth and an increase in demand.    We're looking underneath this. What is driving that increase in demand for coaching? What is driv...

In this episode, we're talking about one of my favourite topics. Neuroplasticity or reprogramming the brain. And, we're going to be getting deep into how this works.   Here are the highlights from this episode:   {1:48} Longer-term behavioural change needs to happen in the brain {4:42} Reprogramming the brain is about creating new neural pathways {5:06} How long it takes to reprogramme your brain...

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 respect...

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,...

How do we make sure that our new year's resolutions and goals actually stick? Let's be honest. I think that most of us, after 2020, when we were all saying a year ago, "Let's make 2020 the best year. Yeah, I can feel this next decade is going to be amazing, blah, blah, blah," I think that maybe it may have changed some of our mindset on this best year ever dialogue.   However, we still see the sam...

Can you really make a living out of being a coach?   I'm not talking online here, guys. I'm talking generally, I'm talking about making a career out of being a coach. Being a professional coach and actually making this your job.    We might think that there are only online coaches and I'm very aware that we see this model a lot. It isn't always coaching where we see coaches, coaching coaches who c...

It is a brilliant time to train as a coach. Why? Well, it seems increasingly likely that the coaching industry is going to become regulated at some point in the future. So, training now can enable you to future proof your career in your business, because you don't want to be scrambling about when the industry is regulated.    Here are the highlights from today’s episode:   {0:58} How the coaching...

If you went online you would think that the reason people became coaches was to have a super yacht, travel to 5 star destinations and rake in the cash!   As the industry is unregulated anyone can say they are a coach: and many do without even picking up a book on coaching! Or they have done some online training which gives them a foundation without going deeper.    The issue I see here is that we...

This is a question that many of my clients and trainee coaches ask me.    One of the simplest answers is that if we do the work on ourselves and really focus on our mindset and energy as coaches so we can show up and be fully present with our clients, we are already one step closer to making more impact.   In this episode I delve into the science behind behavioural change and how understanding the...

In this episode I talk about the different coaching models and modalities that you see and how they can be used in isolation or combination to get our clients results.    Last week we looked at pure coaching as a paradigm and today I am exploring different modalities that we can explore which are widely seen under the umbrella of coaching. From normative models such as GROW to relational coaching...

In this episode I explore what coaching is and what coaches do.   The word coach is ubiquitous online and as the word is used widely it can describe a whole host of approaches and modalities, many of which borrow from the principles of coaching although are not pure coaching.   I dive into what coaching is and how pure coaching looks, and what a coach will do in sessions and how this can help thei...

The online world is awash with gurus sharing the one way to build your business - some of these gurus are truly amazing at what they do and will show you exactly how to create the course / program / membership site that you want.   The issue is that we can be sucked into marketing and can create businesses which are not aligned for how we want to work and how we want to show up in the world.    In...

As a coaching mindset becomes a distinct ICF competency what does it actually mean?    I believe that as coaches our mindset is one of the most important things we can work on between client sessions to deliver great results.   Some of my top hacks, alongside the exercise / journaling / reading / silence / diet / sleep list that we all know so well are shared in this podcast, I include: having tim...
