A summary of a recent Executive Coach Corner session on the fear that shows up the moment you start charging real money — and how to coach through it. It opens with a familiar terror: pricing a new offer and immediately deciding you've charged "too much," which, as the room points out, usually says more about your inner world than the number does. From there it turns to the high-ticket sales conversation itself: why naming the price early does helpful filtering, how value framing on your website and intake can get clients to sell themselves before the call ever happens, and the reframe that flips everything — you're asking what it costs, the coach is asking what NOT doing it costs (think missing Tesla or Bitcoin early). You'll hear why coaching is an investment in future value rather than an expense, sharp questions for handling objections ("what would need to be true to decide today?", "what's on the other side of no?"), and why underpricing just breeds resentment on both sides.

A summary of a recent Executive Coach Corner session on coaching the high performer who's flying high — and keeping them from crashing on the way down. The centerpiece is a memorable framing: a rocket that goes up has to plan its splashdown. NASA doesn't just get astronauts to space; it builds re-entry protocols to bring them home safely — physically and emotionally, through the disorientation of a radically widened perspective. You'll hear how to apply that to founders, authors, and competitive athletes mid-surge: don't kill the momentum, but help them self-assess where they are and pre-plan the comedown before the burnout arrives. The conversation also gets into why friends rarely hire you (and the "one-way street" where clients become friends but friends can't become clients), the "strength of loose ties" as a referral engine, and a sharp metaphor for integrity — treating it like a stabilizing muscle you build with lighter weight, so clients stop breaking commitments they were never strong enough to keep.

A summary of a recent Social Media Corner workshop — a guided tour of how Instagram (and Meta) actually work in practice, and where the people getting results are really spending their attention. The big shift: the home feed isn't the engine anymore. Explore has become the new search engine, so discovery happens there, in Reels, and in carousels — which now out-engage Reels and are the format the platform is actively pushing. You'll hear why saves and shares matter more than likes or views, a Stories cadence that keeps the algorithm warm (and a clever "close friends" launch trick), how to hook a viewer in the first three seconds before you ever introduce yourself, why your account should be public and set to professional, and how DMs and a pinned "intro" post quietly do your selling.
