This is the most common question I receive from new coaches. Interestingly, the two coaching schools I attended held contrasting views on this matter; one advocated for note-taking, while the other advised against it. In this week's podcast episode, I share my perspective on the practice of note-taking. Looking ahead, I plan to discuss various tools that can enhance your coaching practice, regardless of whether you are certified or not.

The conversations were nourishing to say the least! Headed into and out of the conference, I pondered on how we utilize failures. Sometimes, I find myself numb to the failures in my life. In fact, I have used previous failures to determine the risk associated with a new task. "How would I feel if I failed at this as well?" If the failure was more significant than the risk, it wasn't happening.

To be honest, I've been hesitant to bring this up! I've been chatting about this data with my leadership coach and business consultant for the past three months. Here's the reality: folks want to control their lives. Simply put!  Educators are burnt and not appreciated.

I'll be honest; discovering your niche can be frustrating as you try to figure out your clientele. However, figuring it out and sticking to it can be a game-changer! Many beginning coaches start off too broad, which be overwhelming and draining. Be specific and grow your target audience.  Three things to Consider as You're Discovering Your Coaching Niche:  Be you! Be the coach that you need as a person.

In the past, team members have shared engagements, announced they are expecting a child, and job promotions. It has also been a time to hold grief and care for the heart.
