You Can’t Add Value To Clients You Don’t Have!
I watched a brilliant coach wait too long. We’d spoken, of course we had, that’s how she’d come to be on my radar in the first place. She was a brilliant, successful career woman who had found coaching at a critical juncture in her life, and in discovering coaching,...
We Don’t Know What We Don’t Know
A £40 Billion Business Lesson Every Coach Needs Starbucks recently fired its CEO, Laxman Narasimhan, because its share price lost $40 billion during his tenure. His credentials were impeccable - he'd worked for one of the 'Big Four' management consultants who...
Well! This Is Uncomfortable!
Something very uncomfortable came my way this morning and I’ve sat with it for a couple of hours. I decided that I’ll write this article, mostly because I want to share it with the coach in question. I received an univited DM this morning, from a coach. This is what...
When Marketing Training Becomes Professional Development
The ICF has awarded The Coaching Revolution 40 CCEUs across our three programmes - 23 Core Competency CCEUs and 17 Resource Development CCEUs. For context, qualified coaches need exactly 40 CCEUs every three years to maintain their ICF credentials. We can now provide...
Not Every Coach Wants To Work With Me
Astonishing though this might seem, not everyone wants to work with me. 😜 The reason for this is that I am outspoken and direct. I don’t know how to hint, or beat about the bush, which I suspect has a lot to do with growing up in a Lancashire mill town - there’s not a...
Your Niche Won’t Find You
I belong to lots of coaching groups on both Facebook and LinkedIn. In one of these groups, a coach commented that they don't believe a niche is a choice. They insisted it's like a plant that grows and evolves, revealing itself when it's ready. I love the plant...
The Tighter I Focus, The Louder My Voice
When I tell coaches that the tighter their focus, the louder their voice becomes, they nod politely but don't really understand what I mean. When they do finally grasp the concept, they don't believe it will work because they're convinced that narrowing their focus...
The $10K in 30 Days Lie
Another day, another "guru" promising coaches can earn £10,000 in 30 days with five ChatGPT prompts. Forbes published it, so it must be legitimate, mustn’t it? No actually, it’s not legitimate at all - it’s disingenuous in the extreme. This type of content makes me...
I’m Not Creative!
I'm not creative. I'm logical. This has been said to me by lots (and lots!) of the coaches I’ve worked with over the years. If you're nodding - and particularly if you come from a STEM background, legal profession, or any field that values logic above all else -...
