    {Part 4} Momentum Series: This Might Be Why You Haven’t Signed Your Next Client Yet

    If you feel like you've been trying everything and you're still not getting clients, this episode is for you! In this powerful conclusion to my Momentum Series, I reveal the five core reasons you might be struggling to sign coaching clients – including the #1 reason that keeps most coaches broke. Most coaches focus on surface-level strategies when they're not signing clients: creating more content, trying new platforms, or constantly tweaking their offers. But after years of helping coaches build profitable businesses, I've discovered that the real barriers to client acquisition are often much deeper. I dive deep into why perfection is actually repelling your ideal clients (and what they want instead), how your "hustle energy" might be unconsciously turning potential clients away, the one simple ask that most coaches avoid, why selling "coaching" is killing your sales, and the #1 reason most coaches struggle to sign clients - being too vague about what they actually do. This episode blends critical mindset shifts with tangible, actionable strategies you can implement immediately. Instead of getting overwhelmed, I recommend choosing just ONE of these reasons that resonates most with your current situation and starting there. Remember: Sometimes we search for complex strategies and fancy tactics, but it's mastering the fundamentals that creates sustainable momentum in your business. This episode concludes my 4-part Momentum Series and leads directly to my LIVE coaching opportunity on May 7th at 9 am Arizona time, where you can get personalized coaching on your biggest business challenge!

    {Part 3} Momentum Series: The Key To An Effective Coaching Session

    Have you ever left a coaching session feeling defeated, like you did all the talking while your client barely moved the needle?  As coaches, our entire business rests on our ability to create transformational results for our clients. When clients experience genuine breakthroughs, they renew their packages and eagerly refer others - creating the most valuable leads you'll ever get! I dive deep into the crucial difference between coaching and consulting, explaining why telling clients what to do creates dependency rather than transformation. True coaching empowers clients to discover their truth, building self-autonomy, trust, and intuition. I share my four-element framework for asking powerful questions that unlock your clients' wisdom: Start with a clear session goal - always begin by asking what they want to walk away with Ask open-ended questions that encourage expansive discussion Be a blank canvas - approach each session with genuine curiosity Align with their values - connect questions to what matters most to them Plus, I reveal three dangerous question traps to avoid and the silent technique that creates massive breakthroughs (hint: it's about what you DON'T say). This episode is part of my Momentum Series that culminates in a LIVE coaching opportunity on May 7th at 9 am Arizona time, where I'll coach you personally on whatever you're feeling stuck on in your coaching business.

    How to Improve Your Group Coaching Calls

    _*]:min-w-0 !gap-3.5"> Group coaching is a powerful way to leverage my coaching skills, but there are critical mistakes I see many coaches making that diminish results and rapport with their groups. In this episode, I'm sharing the five specific mistakes I've observed while being a guest in various programs and corporate coaching experiences. I first explore why rushing into content without building rapport derails your coaching call from the start. I share my simple pre-call routine that unifies the group's energy (even when they're coming in hot from other activities). Next, I dive into why setting clear expectations is crucial and how to reverse-design your content for maximum impact. I explain my engagement framework that keeps everyone actively participating instead of passively listening, including specific techniques for different learning styles. I also reveal my integration technique that ensures clients walk away with clear action steps, and my strategies for creating psychological safety so clients actually share their challenges. Whether you're currently running group coaching calls or plan to in the future, these practical strategies will transform your sessions into powerful, results-driven experiences that your clients will rave about.
