"She could coach you." That's what my wife, Kate, said about Amber Smith after meeting her. Kate has never said this before or since. (She knows many wonderful coaches, but not many who can wrangle my chaos in a coaching session.)

I've known Amber for a few years. I like her and trust her. Our philosophies align. I'd happily refer a close friend or family member to her for coaching, and I'm grateful to have her as a conversation partner on the show.

In this episode, Amber shares a story about "creating a client" in a completely service-oriented, non-transactional way. It's pretty great.

You can catch up with Amber on Instagram (@itsambersmith) and her website (itsambersmith.com).

Announcement: On May 1 I'm holding my first "Office Hours with Mark". Office Hours creates space and time for my fellow coaches to connect with me and get support. Go to https://mrkbtlr.com/office-hours to opt in for details.
