One size doesn’t fit all
A lot of the stuff being taught for coaches have a "one-size-fits-all" feel to them. Coaches are being told that it doesn't matter what level they're at, if they follow that system they'll get the same results as others. It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking...
Teacher, teacher

How Mary got her 1:1 groove back
The other day I was talking about burnout from discovery calls, but coaches can also get burned out from 1:1 coaching sessions. I've seen it happen a lot, and a number of the coaches that I've interviewed on my podcast have experienced it before. There's a reason why...
A unique way of bringing fast revenue into your business
When I started my laser coaching program, I decided to follow Rob Goyette's advice and not have it be something that I offer 365 days per year. While it could be tempting to always have that option open, it would take away some of the urgency around it, and it would...
