Episode #1: Katie Harvey - 14,000 hours of coaching, being part of the UK coaching vanguard and being a generalist coach

Katie Harvey has been coaching for more than 18 years. In that time, she has racked up more than 14,000 hours of coaching which, she says, is more than any other coach she has met over that time. She was part of the vanguard of coaches in the UK and for more than 12 years has worked to support other coaches: supervising and mentoring coaches and training new coaches, including through CoachU.

In this episode, we talk about:

- How she racked up more than 14,000 hours of coaching.

- The advantages and disadvantages of being part of the vanguard of coaching.

- The question of 'niche' and why Katie calls herself a generalist coach.

- What business and pricing model Katie has settled on after 18 years of experimentation.

- And how a trying a coaching sales technique on a photographer.... ended up with them getting married!
