Description: When I became a life coach, I didn’t realize I was also becoming a business owner. And like many coaches, I had some unrealistic expectations — I thought I could simply announce my new career and the clients (and income) would follow. Spoiler: that’s not how it works.

In this episode, I’m sharing the top 5 entrepreneur lessons I’ve learned the hard way while building a successful life coaching business. These insights come from experience — three successful companies, over a decade in the industry, and helping hundreds of clients — and I’m breaking them down to help you shorten your learning curve.

Whether you’re a new coach trying to sign your first clients or a more seasoned coach struggling to grow, this episode will give you perspective on:

• Why being a coach means running a business (not a hobby)

• The truth about marketing, sales, and making money as a life coach

• Why clients won’t “just come” — and what to do instead

• The systems you need to grow sustainably

• How to navigate the loneliness of entrepreneurship

Coach Question of the Week:

https://purple-lion-72607.myflodesk.com/agcj1mr1y3 \

Description: As a coach, you care deeply about helping your clients grow—but what if your “intuition” in sessions is actually getting in the way?

In this episode of The Art & Skill of Coaching, we’re diving into a powerful and often uncomfortable topic: projection in coaching.

You’ll learn what projection actually is, why it happens (even with the best intentions), how to spot it in your own practice, and—most importantly—what to do instead.

Whether you’re a new coach or a seasoned pro, this episode will help you improve your coaching and show up more cleanly, clearly, and effectively for your clients.

We cover:

• What projection looks like in coaching sessions (with real examples)

• The difference between true intuition vs. unexamined bias

• Why coaching from your “gut” isn’t always a good thing

This episode is a must-listen for life coaches, business coaches, mindset coaches, and therapists-turned-coaches who are serious about coaching with integrity and excellence.

• Reduce stress and emotional overwhelm

• Improve problem-solving and resilience

• Create immediate momentum in sessions

• Foster self-awareness and cognitive flexibility

I’ll walk you through a step-by-step framework for using reframing with clients—plus a real-life case example to show you exactly how it works in practice.

Whether you’re a new coach or an experienced practitioner, this is a foundational tool you can use every day to increase the impact of your coaching conversations.

Don’t miss this one—it’s short, actionable, and backed by decades of psychological research.
