A hot topic right now in coaching is ethics and education. People have questions about practices and whether or not certain practices might be doing more harm than good. And I believe that, as coaches, we should be embracing these questions rather than shying away or being intimidated by them. How can all these questions be a good thing? First of all, it gives us the opportunity to discuss trauma, the nervous system, changes in the industry over time, and the positive outcomes countless people have experienced. Secondly, it gives us the opportunity to make strides in our own practices to help even more people. Let’s tackle this timely topic. “The freedom and the open space in the coaching field means more creativity in how we can be effective and serve our clients… to be able to truly create something unique and powerful.” – Molly Claire What You’ll Learn Value in being unregulated Lack of education results Draw from other industry ethics and standards Prepare for trauma responses Work toward a higher level of service Not a unicorn business Contact Info and Recommended Resources Watch for a SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT from Molly on Friday, October 6, 2023 regarding an amazing offering coming in 2024!  Listen to these previous episodes on ethics in coaching: Unacceptable Coaching Practices Ethics and Coaching: Integrity In Your Business    Connect with Molly Claire Create A Killer Program For Your Clients: Registration fills fast so get on the January 2024 waitlist!

Creating space for speaking up and speaking out about sexual assault and proper justice is so needed. People of all backgrounds and experiences have been affected by sexual assault, whether personally as a victim or relationally as the friend or loved one of a victim. To talk about this sensitive topic, I interviewed Karla Hernandez and Gerald Ericksen, the driving forces behind VIVO Alliance. Karla is a recent sexual assault survivor, and her husband, Gerald, has walked with her through the lingering trauma both of the assault as well as the lack of justice for victims such as herself. I hope this episode inspires and empowers you to speak up and speak out for needed change in our world.  “Not getting it [justice] kind of leaves you in a state of feeling like you’re frozen in time.” – Karla Hernandez What You’ll Learn Relearning how to navigate life Additional trauma of injustice Speaking up despite threats Advocating for proper victim rights Spreading understanding to empower change Courage to tell your story You are not alone Contact Info and Recommended Resources Connect with Karla Hernandez Karla Hernandez, the driving force behind VIVO Alliance, is a recent survivor of sexual assault. Because of her experience not only with the trauma from the incident, but the further trauma from futile efforts to deal with the Puerto Rican justice system, she decided to make it her mission to shine a light on this problem and help lead a new approach to addressing it.  Through VIVO Alliance, Karla is on a quest to press for government accountability, advocate for victim’s rights and recovery, and build a community of hope and healing for survivors who have gone through these kinds of ordeals. Karla was born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and is fluent in English as well as her native language, Spanish. She has worked in high-end health and wellness services, event planning and management, and PR strategy. A common thread in her work experience is her strength as a communicator and team builder.  In her free time, Karla loves going on outdoor adventures with her husband and their German Shepherd, training in mixed martial arts for self-defense, traveling and going on road trips, and hosting gatherings for family and friends.

As a coach, you’re dedicated to helping change lives. But without people understanding what you can do, they don’t won’t sign up with you. To get yeses, you need to be able to confidently convey what you can deliver. Unfortunately, you can’t effectively do that without first having a clear, well-organized program. To craft a program that will both deliver results and easily sell, you might desire some guidance. That’s why I created my Create A Killer Program For Your Clients program.

Formulating the perfect sales page or website copy that motivates and inspires people to become your client can be a struggle. Especially if you’re not exactly sure how to word clear copy that converts or if you’ve tried various iterations and haven’t enjoyed much success. Since this is a common struggle for entrepreneurs, I chatted with Kris Jones, StoryBrand guide and Founder of Red Door Designs. In our interview, Kris explained the power of story and why it’s universally compelling. We also discussed why it’s not your story and Kris shared three steps to get unstuck when writing your copy. Since recording this episode with Kris, I have experienced her expertise in assisting with my own new offering, Create A Killer Program For Your Clients. I have to say that I am thrilled with the results and how easy it all was. “[Your listeners] are not the hero. They are the guide. The guide is the Yoda, or the Mr. Miyagi, or the strongest person in every story.

No matter what kind of coaching we do, we’re going to encounter clients who’ve experienced some form of trauma. There are simply varying degrees and types. As we do, we may find we need a deeper understanding and skill set around being a trauma informed coach. And we may even find we need to delve into trauma healing for ourselves. Since this is such a sensitive and important topic, I wanted to interview Lindsay Poelman, a specialized Trauma Coach who trains other coaches to become Trauma-Informed.. As Lindsay and I talked, we discussed the stress around starting a business, blending the cognitive and the intuitive, and returning to yourself. Lindsay also shared about getting to safety, redirecting from external to internal, and the benefits of being trauma informed.  “We can move through the emotions that maybe aren’t as pleasant. Learning the ability to access that and move through those can really access those ones we all dream of having. And you can experience joy and ecstasy from a settled place.” – Lindsay Poelman What You’ll Learn Stress of starting a business Blending cognitive and intuitive Returning to yourself Getting to safety Redirecting from external to internal Being trauma informed Honoring yourself betters society Contact Info and Recommended Resources FREE Webinar Masterclass with Molly:  How to Create a Killer Program for your Clients that Creates Results Monday, August 7 at 11 CT Don’t you love the idea of leading your business with service and results?

A graduate of The Life Coach School, she also holds certifications and associations in the areas of Sexual Addiction Betrayal Trauma, Faith-Based Coaching, Feminist Coaching and APSATS (The Association of Partners of Sex Addicts Trauma Specialists).  Lindsay’s journey began upon experiencing her own Betrayal Trauma 7 years ago—while simultaneously supporting her husband through his recovery from non-functioning anxiety and depression, betrayal trauma, and in his recovery as a victim of childhood sexual abuse. Through it all, she became so passionate about the resources she found to support herself that she left her career in public and derivative accounting to become a life coach.  After seeking additional training and working with women in trauma for over 5 years, she now trains coaches to do the same—so that they too can provide the deep and safe healing possible for clients across the board who have experienced trauma. She runs an Advanced Relationship Trauma Certification Program for Coaches with a curriculum she put together with a Trauma Therapist. Lindsay has a vision of the whole world being trauma-informed in order to better support personal healing, clients, abuse victims seeking support from families, clergy, and friends for help after being victimized.  She currently lives in the South of France with her husband and three children. Her husband used to work as a dentist, and is now a life coach for men who want to stop looking at porn. She loves the sun, the sea, French cuisine, being outside in nature, Mary Magdalene, traveling, and more. She sometimes says that if she came back in another life she'd be a tour guide because she loves exploring with people she loves.

You’re in the business of helping people and changing lives. But you can’t help anyone if they don’t know what you can do for them, so you need clarity in what you’ll deliver. But before you can have clarity in what you’ll deliver and the results clients can expect, you need to have a well-organized program. After all, if your program isn’t organized in a way that is effective, none of it is any good. That’s why in this Business Foundations additional episode, I address the power of an effective coaching program. Not only will you have the joy of helping people when your program (that is, what you’ll deliver to a client) is absolutely crystal clear and working smoothly, you’ll also have the comfort of easier marketing. When you’re completely sold on and confident in what you’re offering, you can’t help but sell it. “Having an amazing program that is clear, that is powerful, that is effective, will be worth every bit of time, energy and money spent on making it happen.” – Molly Claire What You’ll Learn Joy of providing exactly what your clients need A Program vs An Offer Program (clarity for you): Deliverables: videos, worksheets, coaching sessions, similar Results: actual outcomes and goals Offer (clarity for your client): Articulating deliverables Articulating expected results and goals Clarity in your program and offer will assuage: Inconfidence Fear Insuring client work works Meet them where they are Articulate personalized results Customize accountability or progress tracking Clear structures Confidence and competence in your results Contact Info and Recommended Resources FREE Webinar Masterclass:  How to Create a Killer Program for your Clients that Creates Results Monday, August 7 at 11 CT Don’t you love the idea of leading your business with service and results?

As entrepreneurs, it can be quite difficult for us to take the right kind of rest. Countless things vie for our time and attention. And even when we do manage some downtime, we can be plagued by feelings of guilt,  restlessness or even fear. But what if taking the right kind of rest could actually increase your productivity, creativity and ability to problem solve? With these questions in mind, I interviewed Alyson Caffrey, a small business Operations Strategist, the  Bestselling Author of The Sabbatical Method, and the founder of Operations Agency. First, Alyson and I discussed how women, especially, feel we have to justify rest. Then Alyson related several powerful truths, including acclimating to ascend, building a business to thrive without you, channeling a sabbatical personality, and acting rather than reacting. “If we’re building a business that can’t function without us, then we might need to reconcile with the fact that we could be building a personal life that can.” – Alyson Caffrey What You’ll Learn 30,000 foot view Acclimate to ascend (repair to build) Thriving without you Taking a break before you crumble Sabbatical personalities Standardizing to serve clients more Action not reaction Contact Info and Recommended Resources I highly recommend you listen to every episode of my Foundations for Your Coaching Business series: mollyclaire.com/the-masterful-coach.

Follow the show: Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | Spotify | iHeart Radio | Amazon Music | RSS As coaches, we need to be okay with leaning into both what we know and what we’re not yet comfortable with. In fact, at first our coaching journeys often start out somewhat self-serving. We learn because we’re passionate about a particular aspect of life, typically one we’ve personally experienced. And when we’re able to couple that with an existing area of our genius, magical things happen.  To discuss this and more, I interviewed Dan Purcell. Along with his wife, Emily, Dan is the founder of Get Your Marriage On!, a marriage intimacy improvement coaching company and Virgo Development, a software development company. While we talked, Dan discussed pushing through discomfort, leveraging your genius, and no longer trading hours for dollars. He also shared his experience with finding a coaching model, creating a membership program, building customized client software, and more. I found this all very exciting because making things simpler for your clients (and yourself) is powerful.   “Success is always on the other side of your discomfort… There is always going to be a big unknown… embrace it.” – Dan Purcell What You’ll Learn From blushing to brave Leveraging your genius Finding the right business model Trading hours for dollars Building customized software Addressing pain points Allowing it to come together Contact Info and Recommended Resources I highly recommend you listen to every episode of my Foundations for Your Coaching Business series: mollyclaire.com/the-masterful-coach.

As coaches, there are always additional challenges when it comes to physical pain and trauma responses. We want to help our clients feel relief and breakthrough in everything they are working through, yet many of us aren’t trained in this area and each of us face our own difficulties. To talk about your nervous system and coaching, I interviewed Body and Mind Life Coach, Betsy Jensen. I first found Betsy when I had a client who raved about the results she’d been experiencing working with Betsy. During our discussion, Betsy shared about how we are empowered to take control, understanding the nervous system, ingrained trauma or protective response, and flight, fight, freeze or fawn (the protective state). She also opened up about her own chronic conditions, her journey away from pain, and the mindset shifts she undertook to achieve her freedom. “It’s getting to that calmer state of the nervous system. And then your body knows how to heal. And then you know how to have conversations with people… [And] you can hold space for someone else. You can be that safe place.” – Betsy Jensen What You’ll Learn Chronic conditions and psychosomatic symptoms Empowered to take control Understanding the nervous system Ingrained trauma or protective responses Awareness of automatic (subconscious) responses Connecting with the nervous system Be gentle to yourself Simple ways to regulate yourself Contact Info and Recommended Resources I highly recommend you listen to every episode of my Foundations for Your Coaching Business series: mollyclaire.com/the-masterful-coach. Connect with Betsy Jensen Betsy is a Body and Mind Life Coach, helping people heal from chronic pain through nervous system regulation, and the latest neuroscience. As a former Physical Therapist, she had been working with people in pain for over two decades but her own health struggles brought her to the mind-body approach.
