Episode 044: Thinking differently
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 […]

Episode 039: Money, money, money
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 […]

Episode 035: What does a coach do?
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 […]
Episode 034: Coaching mindset
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 […]
Episode 033: Making goals stick
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 same things. We see the articles in the magazines and hear this idea of having new year’s resolutions, and we often think, maybe this is going to be the year we’ve finally do the thing we want to do. So in this episode, I’m going to talk about […]

Episode 030: The dark side of the online coaching industry

Episode 029: How to make an impact as a coach
This is a question that many of my clients and trainee coaches ask me.

In this episode I delve into the […]

In this episode I explore what coaching is and what coaches do.

Episode 025: How to get in the right mindset to coach
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.

Episode 020: Personality preferences in your business
In today’s episode I want to talk about the importance of personality preferences in building the business you love. The first advice is to take a step back and look at what you’re doing in your business. Be honest with yourself and understand what you really want to do in your business and what is your purpose.

Episode 019: Having honest, difficult conversations with yourself
In today’s episode I want to talk to you about having honest conversations with yourself if you aren’t achieving your goals. We can look externally for reasons why we haven’t achieved our goals or been successful. Maybe we invested in the wrong coach. Maybe it was the wrong course. Maybe it was the wrong time. And of course, external things can have an impact. But if we’re able to take responsibility for ourselves, our decisions, […]

In this episode we’re talking about manifestation. This means identifying what you want and why you want it and then going through a series of steps.
