Back in 2019 I was certified to use a tool called YouMap® in my coaching practice and it totally transformed my work.
3 1/2 years later I'm thrilled to announce that I'm becoming a YouMap® Master Trainer and will be certifying OTHER coaches to use this tool in their practice starting later this year.
I'm so excited about this next step I'm taking in my own journey and hope you'll come with me!

Today's episode was inspired by a client of mine who asked, "so how do I tell people what they're going to get when they sign up for my email list?" ----- when she's in a super dynamic and exciting period of testing, discovery, growth, and change!
I took this question - about how to marry creativity/freedom/experimentation/play with the consistency and clear messaging we're craving on the business side - to my colleagues and advisors. What emerged are four insights shared in today's episode.

The Coaching Industrial Complex puts so much pressure on new coaches to be GOOD and SUCCESSFUL right away, and subtly (or not so subtly) reinforces the idea that if we're not "succeeding" it must be because there's something wrong with US, not with the industry we're swimming in.
But what if you were willing to let it be messy, imperfect, and to make a lot of mistakes on your way towards figuring out who you are as a coach and what your work is going to look like over the long haul? What if the path towards mastery involves a ton of practice, "failure", and learning along the way?
Are you willing to be a beginner for as long as it takes until you're not? Are you willing to prioritize learning over any particular result, to be bad at something until you're good at it? What would it be like if you stopped punishing yourself for not having it all figured out? All of this, plus what coaching has to do with Poker, in today's episode.

Unless coaches are your target market, stop asking them what they think of your offfer/website/freebie. Ask the people that you want to help DIRECTLY. A Conversation Project will give you help you do this.
I challenge you to have 30 coaching conversations with 30 different people (within whatever market you might be considering!) to learn more about what they need, want, dream about, what problems they have and how they explain their lives in their own words. Notice what you're inspired by, drawn to, and what you can create with your coaching tools in response to what you learn.
You can say yes, no, or renegotiate.
