The Profitable Coaches Podcast

Every day for the next 10 days I'm going to be releasing a chapter of my book - The Profitable Coaches Scorecard, the 10 multipliers that are either growing or slowing your practice. In this first episode I am talking about multiplier No. 1 - Grounded Certainty. This series is brought to you by The Thriving Coaches Blueprint which you can find out more about at http://www.jamiesmart.com/thriving  

In this week’s episode you will hear a recording of a coaching session that I did with one of my clients - Christina Cooper. Christina is a coach and a therapist and she’s already transitioned from charging by the hour to enrolling clients onto longer term coaching packages but as you’ll hear in this session she had some ‘teething pains’ with that, feeling uncomfortable about talking to clients about money and as you’ll hear, all of that turned out to be what I call a grounding issue. The cool thing about this is that within a few days of us doing the session Christina enrolled a client on a 2.5k 6-month coaching package.

In this week’s episode you will hear a recording of a 1-1 coaching session I did with one of my clients Tanya Alexander. Tanya is a professional photographer, Therapist and life coach and she is doing a programme of mine called ‘Escape Velocity – The Transition Blueprint’ and during that programme people get 1-1 coaching in a group context. When Tanya came on the call for her coaching session she wanted to get coaching around a number of fears – agoraphobia, claustrophobia, fear of flying and generalised anxiety, and so the reason I thought that would be such a great topic for this podcast is because the solution with those is the same as it is for ALL our fears, worries and anxieties.

This episode is a little bit different to the usual format because it’s the recording of a conversation I had with Clarity Coach and Mentor, Nick Bottini. I met Nick a couple of years ago when he was in the beta-test group for the programme that became 'The Thriving Coaches Blueprint’. Nick is a coach; he wanted to grow his practice and he got more and more interested in the principles behind clarity. Now Nick has written a book called ‘Just Play’. He’s doing amazing stuff, some of which you will hear about in this episode.  We got on a call because he wanted to explore ideas about how he could get his book to reach as many people as possible and how to get it on to the bestseller lists. Part of it is a coaching session and part of it is a chat between friends about something he wants to accomplish - something I have experience of. But as you’ll hear at certain points in the conversation it goes much deeper and into the domain of Clarity Coaching and (as you’ll hear), that’s where the turning point in the con

In this session, you’ll hear me coaching Liz Scott. What starts out as a 'tactical' question about coaching packages (what's involved, how do they work etc) turned into a much deeper conversation about value, integrity and who you really are. Liz is a coach and trainer who works with a wide variety of individuals and organisations, ranging from police forces to education authorities. She collaborates with schools and works directly with children, teachers and head-teachers. And one of the interesting things about Liz is that she worked as a reporter and producer for the BBC for 12 years. And following this coaching session, Liz went on to train with me as a Clarity Coach. For full show notes, please visit http://www.jamiesmart.com/pcp/12

She teaches birthing classes to couples and is currently organising a women’s empowerment summit in Sydney, Australia. We start the session with with a discussion about how to create packages for prospective clients, but soon dive into the domain of eliminating habits and compulsions, and into the power of being a perpetual beginner.

In this episode, I'm coaching marital counsellor Lisa Rabinowitz. Lisa dreamed of working with couples ever since she was a child, and loves helping clients reconnect to their innate wisdom and peace of mind. And one of the interesting things about Lisa is that she holds an MA in Clinical Psychology from East Carolina University. And one of the other interesting things about Lisa is that I did a 15-minute laser-coaching session with her the other day, so this session was our second conversation.

In this episode, I coach Jack Austin, a purpose-driven business consultant. Jack already has a big impact with his clients, but he wants to be able to connect with new clients more easily. When we started the call, he told me that he sometimes feels uncomfortable in social or 'networking' contexts, and believes he needs to get better at that. As we dive into it, we discover that what's been getting in the way is an extremely common fear; something that countless coaches and transformation professionals share. This was a really touching and moving session for both Jack and me, so I look forward to hearing how it lands for you.

In this episode, I coach Nicky Bartley around reducing the number of 1:1 clients she's working with as she simplifies her life. This means working with fewer clients, but in a deeper, longer-term way. In the process, we end up exploring the whole question of "Am I enough?", a doubt that many coaches share. Nicky is a coach who works with a wide range of clients from individuals with panic attacks and anxiety to helping entrepreneurs and businesses with a variety of issues. And one of the interesting things about Nicky is that she helps coaches and other transformation professionals around the whole area of visibility.

In this episode of the show, I coach Russell Davis, a performance and mind coach. Russell works with his clients using a coaching package model, but he noticed that he wasn't always offering potential clients the size of package he really thought they needed. It turns out that the reason why was because of fear of rejection, judgment and criticism. At the start of the session Russell said he wanted to play a bigger game, so that he could inspire his clients to do the same. During the session we explored the whole domain of courage, and Russell discovered that his challenge wasn't the one he thought it was!
