Episode notes
Glut of Unregulated Coaches
- The coaching industry is booming with a glut of unregulated individuals coaching others regardless of real credentials.
- This creates a feedback loop where many coaches mostly coach others to become coaches, diluting the profession's value.
Beware Empty Coaching Promises
- Coaches should be wary of overconfidence and empty promises in marketing.
- Focus on providing tangible advice rather than just motivational claims to build credibility.
Confidence Is The Core Product
- Confidence is essential for coaches, especially in an unregulated market.
- Marketing must be bold and unapologetic to attract clients despite lack of formal certifications.
