In this episode of @CoachingThruIt, Julie & Laura were thrilled to have a coaching conversation with Isabeau Iqbal. She is a career and life coach who helps ambitious perfectionists move forward in their higher education career, without throwing their quality of life out the window. Isabeau takes a positive approach to perfectionism in her coaching -- this, she believes, is a much more kind (and realistic) strategy than wishing one’s perfectionism away! We talk about the hurdles for starting a coaching practice and how to remove business barriers like scheduling, sales, and matching these to our values. This was a helpful conversation to understand that coaching as a business is an evolution and process -- so it’s okay if we’re still figuring it out and finding our voice in our practice.
