You're not a bad coach if your life isn't peachy and perfect.
You want to make a difference in the world. You want to help people. And you’re well on your way. You’ve helped people mend their shattered hearts, change toxic behaviours and, well, turn their lives around. (And that’s a pretty big deal – truly.)
You spend your days helping your clients get their lives together – but what about you? What about your life – your fears and worries and hang-ups?
Yes, I know you have them. So don’t try and tell me you don’t. No one on the entire planet has all their shit together. Not you. Not your neighbour. Not your doctor. No one. It’s impossible to cross every T and dot every I, even if you’re a coach.
Throw in the fact that you spend hours on end talking your clients through some pretty heavy stuff, and it’s a perfect storm for:
Getting triggered by your client’s baggage and having no idea what to do with that unsettled energy – so you pick at your cuticles some more and wonder how on earth everyone else makes it all look so damn easy!
Convincing yourself you’re terrible at your job and your clients would be better off going to one of those coaches with an über-shiny website and equally shiny hair. (What Instagram filter is that?!)
Feeling like you’re drowning in the vast, scary sea of imposter syndrome, gasping for air under the weight of questions like ‘Who am I?’ and ‘Am I really good enough?’
Bottom line? You’ve helped clients find their way in the world, but your world is a bit topsy turvy too. Newsflash: this doesn’t mean you’re a bad coach or an embarrassment to humanity or whatever else you call yourself when you’re doing a spot of middle-of-the-night agonizing.
It means you’re human. Just like the rest of us. But you don’t have to feel this way forever.
Enter Coaching for Coaches:
the down-to-earth, straightforward way to feel good about who the heck you are and how you’re showing up in your business.
What Coaching for Coaches is:
This is my eyeballs directly on your feelings and your business as we get clear about who you are, what kind of coach you are, what kind you want to be, what you actually do and how you’ll deliver that to your clients.
What it is not:
Coaching for Coaches most definitely is not an all-singing, all-dancing marketing secret promising overnight, seven-figure success – or a sure-fire hack to attract eleventy billion new clients just by writing one crummy little e-book.
It’s not about hitting six figures. (I mean, happy days if you do – but we all know money’s not everything.) Instead, it’s about defining your own success. Reaching your own goals. Reclaiming confidence in your own life.
Screw stepping into my office. Instead, come sit cross-legged with me on Skype.
As a coach, I say it as it is. There’s no sugar coating here. Just honest, upfront support from someone with hours and hours of coaching experience (over 7,000 hours, actually, if we’re being pernickety!).
But fear not: I’m kind too. The road ahead may not always be smooth, but I will be nothing but sympathetic and understanding – and just an all-round nice person to talk to! – as we scrape back the layers and make our way to the heart of the matter.
And finally, I get it. I get how it feels to be up to your eyeballs in persistent doubts and pesky insecurities. I’ve been there. I’ve also spent years helping people just like you. That’s right. Spoiler alert: you’re not the first person (or coach!) to feel like this, and you sure as hell won’t be the last!
