Coach with Clarity

I cannot believe we’ve already made it to the very last episode of 2023, and I’m so excited you’re joining me. I know many of us are taking a close look right now at how we are currently structuring and operating our coaching practices. We’re also exploring how we can become more masterful coaches and how we can build out skills. Fortunately, we’ll be exploring these things in 2024. In the meantime, I want to share with you the five tools I cannot live without in my own coaching business. I’ve been using some of these tools since I started my business all the way back in 2016 and one of the tools will become my go-to resource in 2024. So, as you prepare for 2024, you can take a look at your own business operations and see if any of the tools I recommend might be something you want to incorporate into your practice if you’re not already using them.

I’m so glad you’re joining me for the next installment of the Back-to-Basics series here on the podcast. Today, we’re diving into the fun topic of naming your business, and I even use myself as an example of what not to do. In this updated episode, I share three key errors I made when originally naming my business, what I would do differently if I could go back and name my business again, and the two things I would have included in this episode if I were to recording it for the first time in 2023. Now, if you’ve already named your business and you’re worried you might have made one of the same errors I did, don’t worry. We’ll talk about that in this episode as well.

I’m so glad you’re joining me for our ongoing Back-to-Basics series here on the podcast. If you listened to our last episode all about connecting with your audience and promoting your services, you know I teased that this week’s episode would include some of the most valuable information I’ve ever shared on the podcast. In this replay of episode 97 of podcast, I walk you through the very process I use on connection calls. So, you’ll see from beginning to end exactly how I conduct a consult call and how I approach the act of working with someone who it interested in coaching, explaining what coaching is and what it’s like to work with me, and then inviting them to do so. As with all of these Back-to-Basic episodes, I share some updates and thoughts at the end on what I might do differently were I to record this episode in 2023.

I’m very excited you’re joining me for another installment in our Back-to-Basics series where we’re going all the way back to the spring of 2020 when I kicked the podcast off with a Getting Started series. Those early episodes were all about helping you build a strong foundation on which to grow your coaching practice and we’ve been revisiting some of the key ones. Today, we’re looking at what you can do to find your ideal coaching client. I not only share an excerpt form the original episode on this topic, but I also dive into what I might have shared or done differently if I recorded this episode in 2023.

I’m so happy you’re back joining me for another installment in our Back-to-Basics series. In this series, we’re going back to episodes released in 2020 that focus on how to get things started or growing in your coaching business. And, while these episodes are still as relevant today as they were back then, I have provided an update at the end the episode for what I might do differently if I were to record this episode again today. The topic we’re revisiting this week is that of how you can go about pricing your coaching offer. As part of this conversation, we’re looking at what goes into setting your rates and the three important aspects you need to consider when you are setting your prices for your coaching offer.

We’re continuing our second look at some of the foundational episodes of what I originally called the Getting Started Series. With technological advancements, we may change the way we implement and apply foundational concepts, but the concepts themselves are still strong. That’s why we’re revisiting these episodes in this Back-to-Basics Series. This week, we take a look at exactly what you need to do in order to create your coaching offer. I share what I was taught to do, what I now recommend you do instead, some of the questions you’ll want to ask yourself during this process, and some of the things you’ll want to consider as you put together your coaching offer.

This episode is coming to you just after the recent launch of Coach with Clarity Collective; which is my group program for innovative, intuitive coaches who are seeking support and community as they deepen their coaching mastery and build their business skills. If you’re interested in joining the collective, you can join waitlist. One of the things I did after this launch was reach out to people who had demonstrated interest with a short survey that included a question about why they opted not to join the collective this round and there were two themes that stood out. The first was that the price point was out of their budget. The second was that they didn’t have enough confidence in their ability to be a great coach to invest the time and money into the program. Those responses inspired me to spend the next several weeks re-airing some of my earliest podcast episodes in what I’m calling the Back to Basics series. The first episode in this series is all about helping you create clarity in your coaching, don’t you think? Now, what do I mean by having clarity in your coaching? Well, I’m talking about getting super clear on who you want to serve, what they really need from you, and how you want to serve them. Take a listen to this week’s episode to find out how you can do just that.

I’m thrilled to introduce you to my friend, Jennifer Sobel, who is a gifted healer and the entrepreneurial force behind The Belly Dance Solution. One thing I’ve noticed in the work I do is that there seems to be a lot of mystery around the process of establishing your niche and I feel like Jennifer’s story brings clarity to this issue that has mystified so many of us. In this episode, Jennifer shares her journey of how she landed on a niche that combined her passion, values, and interests with an identified need for the people she most wanted to serve.

Something I’ve been hearing from my clients, collective members, colleagues, and fellow entrepreneurs is that the tried and true strategies we’ve been using for years just don’t seem to be working well right now. While I’m not entirely sure I agree because there are still some strategies that are working well for me, I also understand that’s not the case for everyone. So, in today’s episode, I want to explore three reasons why your strategy might not be working as well for you as it could.

This week we have a very special guest on the podcast. It’s none other than my Operations Manager, Robyn Blanton. Robyn is also the force behind Kismet Virtual Services. Robyn and I have been working together for almost three years, but it feels like longer. In fact, it’s hard for me to remember a time in business when Robyn hasn’t been there supporting me because she has become such an essential part of Coach with Clarity©. In this episode, we allow how we originally connected to inform our conversation around what coaches need to know if they’re looking to hire support in their business. So, if you’re looking to hire a virtual assistant, an online business manager, a social media manager, or really anyone to help with some of the operations activities of your business, I think you’ll find this conversation particularly enlightening.

Us entrepreneurs are tired, burnt out, and bored. We don’t want the same old thing when it comes to the tools we use and how we run our businesses. We want to put more of an emphasis on making deep connections and friendships in an online space rather than just making a sale. But, here’s the thing… not all boredom is created equal. Some types of boredom can be destructive, but some types of boredom might even be necessary for our growth. In this episode, I share how the new social media platform from Meta, Threads led to the epiphany that inspired this episode, how boredom with the traditional marketing and sales strategies is fueling my desire to pivot how I do things in my own business, responses I received when I asked other business owners what they do when they’re feeling bored in their business or disconnected from their purpose, the types of boredom that are necessary for our growth, and more.

Regardless of how you feel about Facebook and Facebook ads, I truly believe you’re really going to enjoy my conversation with our guest. Today, I want to introduce you to my friend, and apparently my doppelgänger, Ashley Braswell. Not only do Ashley and I look startling alike, we also have a shared outlook on how we want to run our business and serve the world. I especially wanted to bring Ashley on the show today because she is an expert when it comes to running Facebook ads. I know many of us have what we might call and ambivalent relationship with Facebook in general, with ads in general, and with Facebook ads specifically. Yet, I know that when used properly, Facebook ads can really help us grow our business. In fact, I personally experienced that inside Coach with Clarity®. I’ve brought Ashley on today to specifically talk about the role of Facebook ads, how she approaches it, best practices for coaches who are thinking about using ads to grow their business, how to run ads on a platform we have mixed feelings about, and how to almost hack the system in order to share our message and see more of what we want.

It’s frustrating to recognize that we simply don't have the internal resources we need to take action despite having the capability to do so. Most of us are highly-capable individuals who know how to show up as coaches, serve our people, and help them create their desired changes. That passion drives us to keep growing and doing more, but the problem arises when we don’t check in with ourselves and get honest about our capacity. Today I’m talking about the difference between capability and capacity and how it might inform your work inside your coaching practice. I’m sharing the difficult yet necessary decisions I’ve recently made to respect my current capacity while still growing and scaling a business I love, how I think about capacity vs. capability, old beliefs that came up when I decided to step back, why these decisions are necessary for building a sustainable coaching practice, and more.

I am hard at work creating all sorts of new content for the podcast and for some other offers and programs I’ll be sharing more about over the next few months. It’s in that spirit that I want to rebroadcast one of my favorite episodes that I’ve done on the show. In this rebroadcast, I share how to design a system that supports you in creating content through the lens of what I call the Content Cycle. Developing a deep understanding of that cycle has been a critical tool for me, and it’s my secret to creating content without burning out. I originally published this episode about a year ago, and I have really been leaning into the Content Cycle that I talk about in this episode. It has been really reassuring; especially as I’ve been in this high content creation mode inside Coach with Clarity®. So, if you yourself are hard at work creating something new, or maybe even refining an existing program or offer, I think you’re going to get a lot out of this episode.

“Put yourself out there!” When it comes to growing your brand and your business online, this is the type of broad-brush advice you will likely come across. On the surface, it makes total sense because to grow our client base and build our impact, we need to be visible. The problem is, when the goal is simply to reach as many people as possible, we miss a lot of essential nuances - like safety and energetic alignment. Today I’m thrilled to be joined by my friend, Mai-Kee Tsang, to learn more about her approach to creating frameworks around Sustainable Visibility®. Mai-kee is the Sustainable Visibility® Mentor, ICF-Certified Trauma-Conscious Leadership Coach, Podcast Guesting Strategist, and Speaker. She’s on a mission to amplify the voices of socially-conscious visionaries here to make a deeper difference to those they serve through an inclusive, equitable, and intersectional lens. In this conversation, Mai-kee and I discuss her journey towards sustainable visibility, why it’s essential to put protections in place, the importance of establishing and maintaining personal boundaries in business, tools to help you figure out the best approach for you, and more. Mai-kee’s approach to sustainable visibility is a refreshing alternative to the urgency culture we’re so often bombarded with. I suspect you’ll get so much out of this conversation. For your awareness, there is a content warning for today’s episode, as brief references are made to sexual abuse and eating disorders.

In the meantime, I want to share some of my favorite episodes of the podcast with you.

Do I really want to coach? Do I still want to do this business thing? What does it mean if I make a shift? Many coaches hit a point in their businesses where they feel an identity crisis. To get through this and figure out what you want, we need safe spaces to openly explore our options. Places where we can explore the logical next steps as well as our desires and visions. Today I’m joined by Mary Williams, the founder, and CEO of Sensible Woo, where she teaches highly sensitive and neuro-divergent online business owners how to replace chaos in their backend business operations with harmonious processes and systems. I've known Mary for years, and she’s someone that I have loved collaborating with and getting to know. Her ability to blend the strategic with the intuitive is very much in line with how I coach and her approach to systems. In this conversation, Mary and I discuss the energy shift in the online entrepreneurial space, Mary’s approach to creating a solid foundation for a business, the importance of enjoying the process, how systems can help you to reclaim your time, why we need to normalize the spiritual aspects of business, and more. Mary is an expert in creating strong systems in your business to support your operations, revenue generation, and, most importantly, life. Enjoy the conversation!
