What To Do When Your Coaching Business Gets Hard
In this episode of The Coaching Edge, I share a resource that has helped shift my mindset and perspective around a business matter. I introduce the concept of 'The Dip' from the book by Seth Godin and explain how it applies to coaches who are in the process of building their businesses. I discuss the challenges and difficulties during the 'dip' phase and emphasize the importance of perseverance and redefining success. I provide strategies for navigating the dip, such as focusing on long-term goals, embracing experimentation, and letting go of old metrics for success.

The Importance of Small Talk with Coaching Clients
In my BBB business-building community for coaches, I recently had a member who was considering creating a package of 30-minute coaching sessions. She believed if she could cut the small talk, the sessions could be shorter and she could price them more affordably, and thereby serve her clients.
In this episode, I share how I helped this member see the many holes in her strategy, including a discussion about how pricing is about so much more than the physical time you spend with a client. But budgeting time for small talk can be really valuable and often leads to much more productive sessions. All that to say, less is not always more. And if you haven’t been coached in a while, we’ll talk about why it’s time to invest in yourself too. If you’re frustrated by clients who have a hard time getting to the point, or spend a lot of time on small talk, you won’t want to miss the learning in this episode!
