The Truth About CoachingWhy Being A “Life Coach” Isn't Good Enough, You Must Be A SpecialistWhat do I mean when I say being a life coach just isn’t enough? It’s vital to be clear as day about what you do. People already have their guards up when it comes to coaching; some don’t even see it as a real thing. So if I say “Hi, I’m a life coach” then sure, that’s great. But who the hell are you speaking to?You need to be a specialist in your field and speak to those people with a specific problem. You need to be the go-to person that everyone who’s...

The Truth About CoachingDitch the Coach Speak: How You Tell People What You DoDo you often explain to someone what you do as a life coach and get back a blank or confused look (one that screams “I don’t really understand what you mean, but okay”)? Many, many times I’ve worked with life coaches who communicated to potential clients in ways that no one actually understood what they did.

The Truth About CoachingLife Coaching Certification vs. Life Coaching Business: What’s the Difference?Yeah, let’s get this one out of the way right off the top: a life coaching certification is very different from a life coaching business. With a certification, you have something behind you that says you’re able to coach someone on a specific topic or area. Well done! But at the end of the day, it’s literally a piece of paper.Just like a college degree that doesn’t guarantee you’ll land a job in your field of study, right? That’s not an actual job, and your certification isn’t an actual business. So w...

This Shit WorksCan You See Her Now? Visibility and Women of Color with Janet KafadarA 2013 study conducted by the Clayman Institute for Gender Research at Stanford University Showed that women are keenly aware of the rewards of visibility. They know that being noticed — for example, by interjecting during meetings and taking credit for accomplishments — is a conventional strategy for professional advancement.

Another study found that in the field of science, close to 50% of black and Latina scientists are routinely mistaken for janitorial or administrative staff. This is why campaigns...
