Special "Business Revenue Leak Checklist" offer free at http://www.mrse.co/leak.With four simple steps, you can enhance your coaching and your client’s performance, says Dr. Eugene Choi, the founder of Destiny Hacks. Science shows that at any given moment, your brain is either in an executive state or a survival state. If it’s in the latter, you’re literally not able to think, much less powerfully support your clients.      How can you help your client snap out of the survival state? What does “neuro-hacking” really mean? What are the signs that your client is in a survival state, and what can. you do about it when that happens?      Dr. Choi explains that by the time you're about 35 years old, 90 to 95% of your brain function becomes subconscious. It's on autopilot. And it triggers the survival state, which in turn triggers the fight, flight, or freeze response. Dr. Choi explains that and much more in this episode where he and Melinda talk about how neuroscience enhances performance, in your client and yourself.In this episode we discuss:The difference between the executive state and survival state.The emotions connected to the survival state and how much of our time we spend in that state. What we are actually trying to survive--physical or emotional danger?The emotions connected to the executive state, and the actions and behaviors available to you in that state.The four steps to help you get out of the survival state on a moment-to-moment basis.     “Research shows that by the time you're about 35 years old, more or less, 90 to 95% of your brain becomes subconscious. What does that mean? It's on autopilot. It's programming.”  – Eugene ChoiGuest Bio: Dr. Eugene K. Choi, the founder of Destiny Hacks, uses neuroscience and technology to help leaders activate peak performance to boost their critical thinking, decision making, and revenue generation skills. He’s also been an Aces coach at Mirasee.     The most heartbreaking moment for Dr. Choi was when he discovered that 80% of people from all around the world reported hating their work when surveyed anonymously. That’s why he left behind a successful career in healthcare to dedicate his life to showing entrepreneurs how to fully unlock their own potential using neuroscience and technology.     Eugene is a certified transformational mindset coach and a board-certified clinical pharmacist who is on a mission to help talented, heart-driven leaders operate at their highest levels of performance, intelligence, and communication. He firmly believes that, by activating the powerful executive brain, results can be maximized, not just in business leaders, but in humanity as a whole.     With a background in clinical pharmacy, neuroscience, and business coaching, his unique science-backed process helps clients figure out how to dramatically improve performance, innovate dynamic solutions, and achieve their goals.  • Resources or websites mentioned in this episode:MiraseeCoaches ConsoleEugene’s website Eugene’s LinkedInEugene’s The Neurohacker podcastEugene’s articles on his Medium page• Credits:Guest: Eugene ChoiHost: Melinda CohanProducer: Cynthia Lamb Executive producer: Danny InyWriter: Michi Lantz and Melinda CohanAssembled by: Michi LantzAudio Post Supervisor: Evan Miles, Christopher MartinAudio Post Production: Post Office SoundMusic soundscape: Chad Michael Snavely     If you don't want to miss future episodes of Just Between Coaches, please subscribe to Apple podcasts or Spotify or wherever you're listening right now.

Special "Business Revenue Leak Checklist" offer free at http://www.mrse.co/leak.Episode summary: A great coach has to possess deep compassion and understanding for their clients, in addition to the core coaching skills. A lot of newer coaches want to coach anybody, out of fear of missing out on clients and failing to build a coaching business. But that can actually prevent them from becoming great coaches. Learn why being a skilled listener is important. And why having the courage to say what your client needs to hear, that’s serving them and their long-term development, helps you to become a great coach.      In this episode, Ari Iny, an ACES Coach, Talent Manager & Partner Liaison at Mirasee, talks with Melinda about what it means to be a great coach, as well as the traits and behavior needed to become one. They go into why clarity of your own values, making sure that you align with them, and that you’re coaching from them is critical. Melinda adds three more traits that make a great coach, and Ari emphasizes that a great coach doesn’t rest on their laurels.  In this episode we discuss:Ari defines what a great coach is and the difference between a good coach and a great one.What newer coaches need to figure out when starting their coaching businesses.The traits and skills a great coach needs to have, and the role of courage in a difficult coaching conversation.How being a mentor to other coaches can teach you where your own gaps are as a coach.The importance of values alignment, and three more skills a great coach has that have nothing to do with coaching skills.What breaks a great coach?“If you're able to listen well to the clients that you're working with, what they need and how the needs are changing, you're always going to be able to be at the forefront of the industry.” “In order to really be a great coach, I think it's more about who you're working with, and the relationship that you build with your client.” – Ari InyGuest Bio:ACES Coach, Talent Manager & Partner LiaisonAri started working for Mirasee in the summer of 2014 when they needed a new Facebook ad coordinator, and joined the team full time six months later in order to expand the company’s Facebook presence. Since then, Ari’s role within Mirasee has evolved a number of times – he’s become the head of HR for the company, Mastermind facilitator (where he learnt how to do business coaching first hand from Danny), Partner Liaison, and ACES coach. Before joining Mirasee, Ari jumped around quite a bit. After being released from the army, he worked in a bookstore chain where he was eventually promoted to managing a store, and then two stores (luckily they were close to one another!).  When not supporting the Mirasee team and his students, Ari enjoys spending time with his beautiful wife, playing with their dog, reading epic fantasy (and lots of other kinds of fiction, too!), playing video games and sleeping. Resources or websites mentioned in this episode:Mirasee Coaches ConsoleAri Iny’s LinkedIn Credits:Guest - Ari InyHost - Melinda CohanProducer - Cynthia Lamb Executive producer - Danny InyWriter - Michi Lantz, Melinda Cohan, and CynthiaAssembled by - Geoff GovertsenAudio Post Supervisor: Evan Miles, Christopher MartinAudio Post Production by Post Office SoundMusic soundscape: Chad Michael SnavelyIf you don't want to miss future episodes of Just Between Coaches, please subscribe to Apple podcasts or Spotify or wherever you're listening right now.

But why are these sometimes known as feeder courses? How much should you charge for a feeder course? Or should you just give them away as freebies?  Today’s coaching conversation clarifies what feeder courses are, how to use them, and when to create them.• In this episode, our host Melinda Cohan engages in an in-depth and lively discussion with Mary Williams about feeder courses and how to use them to grow your coaching business. Mary is a Chief Technology therapist who runs her own coaching and education business Sensible Woo and is also a coach for course creators at Mirasee.

Head on. My name is Melinda Cohan and I run a business called the coaches console. The coaches console has supported more than 50,000 entrepreneurs and creating their own profitable coaching business.  Today we're going to talk about an interesting and important topic, a subject you'll have to dive into if you're a course creator or thinking of becoming one. I'm talking about feeder courses. But first, what exactly is a feeder course? I sometimes call them intro courses or intro webinars or intro workshops but whatever you call them, feeder courses are an opportunity for people to experience you. They can learn a little bit about what you're about. They can experience your style as a coach. They can see how you support and interact with clients and there's an opportunity for prospects to just dip their toe in the water to see if they want to make the full commitment to pay for your premium services or programs.  Now to talk about feeder courses today, I've invited Mary Williams onto just between coaches. Mary is a chief technology therapist of her own coaching and education business sensible woo. She is also a coach for course creators of Mirasee. But before I bring Mary on, I'm going to read an email from a listener that reflects today's topic, as I've said in other episodes.

We want to encourage you to be open about what's troubling you without worrying about what your clients might think. Here's what anonymous had to say: • Melinda. I know you are both a coach and of course creator. So I want to ask you how to deal with clients who are reluctant to do boot camps or give away freebies. A couple of my clients have expressed reluctance to jump into adding free three part webinars or courses to their action plan. They think it's putting their full expertise out there for free. They feel they dilute their service and also come off as too sales. E I also think they're afraid someone will steal their work....

But it turns out, there are nuances to lying; not all lies are detrimental and they can even sometimes serve as self-protection. Wait, what? Isn’t a lie a lie? The answer, it turns out, isn’t so simple. Today’s conversation is all about how to tell when your coaching client is lying, how to handle the situation - and whether the lie is even worth addressing. • In this episode, Melinda Cohan, our host and senior coach, has an eye-opening and lively conversation with Liz Scully, the founder of Rethink Central, an organization that provides business strategies for entrepreneurs. They talk about what can motivate a client to lie and some common signs of lying, including micro-expressions that we have no control over. They also explain the difference between big untruths and so-called white lies. The session also addresses some compelling reasons not to challenge a client’s lie or a story they tell themselves. • In this episode we discuss:How an animator became an expert in lie detection. The role of microexpressions in lie detection. The difference between big untruths and the so-called social lies. What are the signs of lying?What to do when your client seems to lie. Reasons to not challenge a client's lie or a story that they tell themselves.– “Because we all think that we're kind of a closed perfect circuit.

(Liz Scully)[00:00:01] Melinda: Mirasee. [00:00:05] Liz: I actually hear lies better than I see them because that is often two things that happen when someone's about to tell a lie. There is a longer than expected pause while they think of the lie and there will be a pitch change. Sometimes some people get squeaky, we've all seen that as a kid. No, we didn't eat the sweets and you're like, yes, you did. [00:00:31] Melinda: Hello and welcome to just between coaches, the podcast that tackles difficult coaching conversations head on. My name is Melinda Cohan and I run a business called the coaches console. The Coaches Console has supported more than 50,000 entrepreneurs and creating their own profitable coaching business.  I've invited Liz Scully onto just between coaches to discuss a topic that can be challenging to talk about lying. We'll look into different types of lies, how to detect them and what you as a coach can do about it. Liz is the founder of Rethink Central that provides business strategies for entrepreneurs. She's also a mastermind coach for influential coaches. Before I bring Liz on, I'll start with reading an email from a listener that addresses the topic. Again, any email that you send me that I read on the air will be anonymous unless you tell me otherwise. So don't hesitate to be open about what's on your mind. Here's what anonymous had to say.  Dear Melinda, there's something that I can't shake and I need your help and input. Maybe it's nothing, maybe there's something to it. I'm new at coaching and recently started to work as a business coach. What do I do if I believe a client is lying to me? I take pride in trusting my gut, even when it doesn't make sense. My client shared with me from the beginning that she inherited some money and so paying for my packages was not a problem. I'm so grateful for that. And all the ways I've been able to support her and all the things she's been able to accomplish. However, in our last coaching session I heard her mention that she had to borrow money to be able to pay for my services and that it's weighing on her budget. Should I challenge her on this or let it go? I can't help but wonder has she lied about other things.&n...

Special "Business Revenue Leak Checklist" offer free at http://www.mrse.co/leak.• Episode summary: Some habits are serving and some habits are not serving. Or as we usually say -- they are good or bad habits. Typically, a habit is the thing that either helps us to reach a goal or prevents us from reaching that goal. You can call them "invisible creatures," because sometimes you don't even know they're there. You just can’t figure out why you haven’t reached your goal, or can’t change.• In this jam-packed episode, Melinda Cohan, our host and senior coach, has a fascinating conversation with Kai Alday, the founder of SuccessAlday, a company focusing on creating mindset and habit success. Melinda and Kai geek out on the neuroscience of habits and discuss several practical steps that you can immediately apply to break any nonserving habit and create a new one that serves.•In this episode we discuss:How habits serve us but also how they can be “invisible creatures.”Why it’s so hard to change habits, and how long it takes to change them. Just how long does it take to change a habit? 21 days? 67?The essential three levels to clarify in order to create change.What tools and systems help your client change a habit? What are temptation bundling and friction reduction?How do pretty rocks help you change a habit?• “Are your actions actually voting for the person that you want to be? Or are they voting for how life already is?” – Kai AldayKai Alday•Guest bio: Kai Alday is a self-proclaimed momentum junkie, AKA a coach obsessed with creating traction for service-based businesses. She has a not-so-secret love affair with brain science and loves using it to create mindset and habit success for her clients. Kai’s specialties are customer experience design, program creation, and science-based goal setting. •Kai founded SuccessAlday to help small businesses ditch the complicated strategies and embrace a business that’s simple to run, fun to build and makes success inevitable. For Kai, the idea that you need to hustle until you die is outdated and only beneficial to the power suits. Instead, she focuses on building a thriving business with the purpose of enjoying your life and creating an impact while you do it. Fair warning: Kai isn’t your grandpa's business coach. There's a healthy dose of laughter, real talk, and profanity involved. •Resources or websites mentioned in this episode:MiraseeCoaches Console Kai Alday’s LinkedIn SuccessAlday.com•Credits:Guest - Kai AldayHost - Melinda CohanProducer - Cynthia Lamb Executive producer - Danny InyWriter - Michi Lantz, Melinda Cohan, and Cynthia LambAssembled by - Geoff GovertsenAudio Post Supervisor: Evan Miles, Christopher MartinAudio Post Production by Post Office SoundMusic soundscape: Chad Michael Snavely•If you don't want to miss future episodes of Just Between Coaches, please subscribe to Apple podcasts or Spotify or wherever you're listening right now.

[00:00:25] Melinda: Hello and welcome to just between coaches, the podcast that tackles difficult coaching conversations. Head on. My name is Melinda Cohen and I run a business called the coaches console. The coaches council has supported more than 50,000 entrepreneurs and creating their own profitable coaching business.  In this episode, we're going to dive into the topic of habits. First, it's human nature to have habits and there's nothing wrong with that. However, as coaches, it's our job to help our clients get the results they want, and they may involve changing a habit or two. When we try to break a habit and establish a new one, we usually experience it as hard and isolation makes it even harder. Breaking a habit on your own is extremely difficult and it takes a ton of self-discipline, which is why having the support of a coach for this is so important to talk about habits today. On just between coaches, I've invited chi all day. Kai is a business coach to entrepreneurs. She also coaches course creators at Mirasee. Before I bring Kai on, I'm going to read an email from a listener that reflects today's topic again. Unless you tell me otherwise, any email that you send me that we read on the air will be anonymous. Here's what anonymous had to say. Hello, Melinda, I need your help and advice. My client told me five months ago that she wants to integrate meditation into her hectic life. She is a ceo of a public company and one of her goals is to feel more relaxed and focused.
