S2 Episode 40: Open Table: Coaching as Thinking Space

Do people come to the conversation with an expectation that they will be doing some good work? Great to see coach Steven Jenkins picking up the word thinker in a LinkedIn post recently (and thank you for the shout out!). So Claire invited him to join us at The Coaching Inn for a chat.

We regularly share invitations through social media to join these conversations. Steven comes from the world of commerce and advertising and Julia Hill responded to our Twitter invitation. Julia works for the Church of England and has experience of working in an organisation that uses Asset Based Community Development.  That's quite close to coaching.

 

We talk about building people's assets, de-powering and more

S2 Episode 35: Act 3 How to Reimagine Your Life After 50 with Judy Reith

When Claire and Judy Reith first spoke about having a chat at The Coaching Inn about Judy and her husband Adrian's new book - Act 3: The Art of Growing Older, little did we know how important it was that they had written it while their ideas were evolving.  

A key message from the book is to make choices about, and have a plan for, your Act 3 years before it is too late. Adrian’s untimely death has had a huge impact on Judy's own Act 3 as she faces a future she did not choose which is so far making her even more aware of making good life choices while she can.   Some great life lessons here for coaches and every human especially anyone in Act 3.

Other books we mentioned are

I found my tribe by Ruth Fitzmaurice
4000 Weeks by Oliver Burkeman

Takeaways

• The success of a coaching business depends on marketing skills as much as coaching skills.
• Niche marketing and ideal client profiles are essential for attracting clients who can and will pay a professional rate for coaching services.
• Coaches should focus on outcomes and the impact of coaching on clients' lives rather than the coaching process itself.
• Building a financially viable coaching business requires a strategic approach to marketing and visibility in the right places where potential clients are present.
