Is your coaching supervisor also a role model? Episode 69

Season 1 · Episode 69

Thursday, January 18, 2024 • Duration 14:18

Working with a coaching supervisor is the gold standard of maintaining professional standards, figuring out ethical dilemmas, and to continuously grow as a coach. Most coaches look up to their supervisor as someone that they respect and whose approach to working with people they would want to emanate. You could say that a coach doesn’t have to have experience in their client’s area in order to coach them well. Could you also say that a supervisor doesn’t need to be someone with experience in your style of coaching in order to supervise you well? Or is a coaching supervisor invariably someone who’s further ahead on your journey, and hence always some sort of role model for your own practice? And what then would be the difference to mentoring? In this episode of talking about coaching our resident coaches Yannick, Siawash and Nicki will be discussing the role of supervision and the role of a coaching supervisor.

Does “free coaching” work? Episode 68

Season 1 · Episode 68

Thursday, January 4, 2024 • Duration 15:21

Daniel asked us whether coaching still works if the clients aren’t paying any money for the coaching. This applies to pro-bono coaching and also to circumstances like Daniel’s where it’s not appropriate to charge due to how coaching has been set up within the organisation or institution. In this episode of Talking about Coaching, Nicki, Siawash and Yannick hence discuss the crucial importance of commitment in the coaching relationship, and what other ways there are besides money to create commitment.

Are money-back guarantees a good idea? Episode 66

Season 1 · Episode 66

Thursday, December 7, 2023 • Duration 19:45

Following question was sent in: “Hi guys. Would love to hear your take on "money back guarantee" policy for your coaching. And possibly why you choose to implement it in a particular way.” So here we are, talking about whether money back guarantees are a great way to create the kind of confidence that gets clients through the door, or whether they add a huge weight to coaches and make it difficult to stay present and let the client do the work.

How to build a 6-figure coaching business? Episode 65

Season 1 · Episode 65

Thursday, November 23, 2023 • Duration 24:50

Sounds a little click-baitey perhaps, but we thought it was time to tackle this question head-on. With a number of episodes on related topics you will find plenty of practical tips on how to grow your business, and we may well do a more classical series of practical advice on how to get 6 figures in your coaching business, but today we wanted to shine a light on the question itself, what it means to be a 6-figure coach, why that may or may not be important to someone, and what’s crucial to reflect on before committing yourself to such a journey. Our resident coaches Siawash and Yannick both turn over well over the minimum threshold (though with quite different mindset around the topic), and Nicki has never really found such figures appealing or worth striving for, so in best TaC style we’re sharing our different perspectives on the topic and hope you’ll find it helpful!
