Not long ago I was among a group of new coaches who were having an interesting discussion about coaching someone who was un-coachable.

As the situation was described, I realized the coaching conversation was actually between two friends, not a coach and her client.

A friend was having a rough time and the coach, wanting to help, tried to coach her friend through it.

It didn’t end well.

And, they concluded the person was un-coachable.

That took me back to an unpleasant memory when I had just graduated from coach training 20+ years ago. Two of my good friends, who were married, were at my house for dinner and they started arguing.

Eager to use my coaching skills, I jumped in to coach them.

It devolved into losing my friendship for a time. It was a harsh lesson that I clearly needed. And it helped me to understand the ethics of coaching at a deeper level.

Are there situations where it’s okay to coach without a professional coaching relationship?

Let’s dig in to that.

Being a small business owner is a territory for heroes where you can grow into your full potential.

You will positively affect more lives than you know with your coaching.

Still, growing a successful coaching business takes sustained effort. You will work your butt off and be all the better for it!

Recently, I had a walk and talk with one of my past VIP clients, who has thrived in her business for 10 impressive years so far.

We were musing … why do some coaches succeed in business and others do not?

After working with coaches for 2+ decades, I have a theory about the right stuff to thrive long term in your coaching business.

What is the success factor? Is it learned or innate?

In this episode, I share my theory and 5 powerful questions to test the success factor.

What’s your coaching website done for you lately?

Does it help you enroll ideal clients or just sit there collecting cyber-dust?

Most first websites are duds. They’re just online brochures all about the coach and coaching with no mention of the audience, only a list of all the ways the coach can help anyone.

That’s because the website was created before the coach:

· Chose a viable target audience to serve

· Knows the big problems that cause them to seek answers, and

· Writes trust-building copy informed by research (and I don’t mean AI!)

Web designers will gladly create a pretty and trendy website but nothing much comes of it. THEY don’t know YOUR audience.

My first 2 coaching websites were like that.

Your second site can be far better than mine!

In this episode, I'll take you on a journey through a client-winning website, what it can do and what you cannot expect it to do on its own.
