Just Between Coaches
Where do coaches turn when they face a difficult situation with a client? Quite often, when coaching challenges arise, they reach out to a coach more senior than themselves. That’s the aim of Just Between Coaches — to be that trusted source of guidance for the coaching community.
Hosted by Melinda Cohan, coach and creator of The Coaches Console business management system, Just Between Coaches will answer the tough questions that coaches face every day. For example, what can I do if my client is lying? How do I deal with price resistance from prospects and clients? What if I want to fire a coaching client? And what the heck is a feeder course and why should I care?
This tactical podcast will provide a deep dive into one coaching topic per episode, which means searching for answers will be a breeze. It will also offer a simple way for listeners to refer other coaches who are grappling with those tough coaching questions. To submit a tough question you’re facing as a coach, put “JBC” in the subject line and send it to podcasts@mirasee.com.

Choosing Happiness (Ana Melikian)
Special "Business Revenue Leak Checklist" offer free at http://www.mrse.co/leak.Happiness and self care go hand in hand. As psychotherapist and coach Ana Melikian, Ph.D., points out, if we do not prioritize ourselves, we will never be our best selves, nor will we have enough to give others. We tend to believe that we somehow earn our happiness through sacrifice and self-denial, but research shows that nothing could be further from the truth.In this inspiring episode, Melinda and Ana dive deep into choosing happiness and the importance of self care, a topic that is near and dear to them both. As coaches, we need to lead by example and practice what we preach, and prioritizing ourselves and our needs is at the top of the list. It’s not selfish, it’s necessary. These two experts can show you how.In this episode we discuss:How does self care relate to happiness?What constitutes self care, and why is it important?Can a person really choose happiness if everything is not going their way?How does choosing happiness open up new possibilities?What are the consequences of denying self care?What is the Happiness Fallacy?“Often, people don’t take the time for self care, because they feel selfish, so they are always in the last bit of patience and the last piece of energy. When they start to recognize that by taking care of themselves, they have much more to give others, that is when the magic really starts to happen.” – Ana MelikianAna Melikian, Ph.D., is an optimist who had to overcome two bouts with cancer to learn that pursuing happiness is a fallacy. To choose happiness is a much more powerful strategy to tap into our highest human potential. Either by working with leaders and their teams, or other coaches and consultants, Ana supports her clients to break through their mindset limitations and upgrade their psychological operating systems so that they achieve better results than ever in work and life while enjoying the process.Born in Portugal, Ana now lives in Phoenix, Arizona, with her husband, daughter, and dog Puffy.
