I'm extraordinarily good at helping high level leaders become high level coaches. And I often see successful leaders struggle as they become coaches. You see, they often dismiss all their prior leadership experience. In Season 4, I draw out my guests' stories in a way that empowers them to articulate who they are in the most powerful way possible. Imagine you could tell stories so powerful that your clients say, Wow... Imagine you could look in the eyes of a client – and instead of feeling like a new coach – you could say, I've been doing this my entire life... Well, you can. Enjoy Season 4. -- For most of human history, it wasn’t called coaching. It was called leadership.

Today I coached Catherine. Catherine is a member of 4PC, she is a top performer, she is an estate attorney by background, and she has a business that makes millions. She is really making an impact on people's lives, helping them create an amazing future for themselves and their children. She has had a taste of coaching and loves it! But she is sucked into those things that drain her of energy in her business. So, I teach her a tool that I call "Hell yes. Hell No. Maybe." It will transform her business, it will transform her leadership team, and it will transform the life of all of them as they get more and more away from the "hell nos" and more and more into the "hell yeses" for their life and their business. I tell her a story too about another tool called "the avoid at all costs list," which is a game changer. She has this insight that has her say "wow," and then we are there. Enjoy. -- For most of human history, it wasn’t called coaching. It was called leadership.

Today's episode isn't a coaching session. It's a very honest conversation with one of my Protégés. Before becoming a coach, Mark Silverman generated over $90 million in complex tech sales in the corporate world and worked at numerous rapid growth startups. He sought me out as his coach and he became a member of my community. Mark is now making over $200K a year as a coach and working with dream clients. His first book sold over 50,000 copies and he is working on his second. However, it definitely was not always like this. Once he began working with me, he quite quickly created a 6-figure income but that didn't cover the expenses of his former lifestyle. And he went through quite a challenging time for a while. Listen to the end and you’re here Mark share about the frightening moment when he realized he was spending more money from cashing in his 401(k) than from coaching income… Mark asked me if he could share the – very raw and real – ups and downs of his story with you and I immediately said yes. Most coaches I meet who have come from the corporate world are very clear that they want to leave it behind. But a handful still love the world they come from and Mark’s success as a coach transforms the moment he has the insight, “I love wearing a suit. And I love to work in glass buildings!” -- For most of human history, it wasn’t called coaching. It was called leadership.

This was fascinating. In today's episode you are going to hear me coaching Angela. Angela used to work for the United Nations, for UNESCO and she is based in Paris. She is a woman who has done extraordinary things in her life. She runs 180 Kilometer races, ultra marathons, almost 120 miles. She doesn't like to do things by halves. Even when she is taking on a mission she can't take on just one, she takes on a number at the same time. I coach her around her next big mission. It was really fun.
