What Type Of Coaching Model Makes Sense For You (Live Coaching Audit)
I had an awesome time chatting with Alyssa, a super talented coach for hairstylists and makeup artists, on a recent live coaching episode of The Best Damn Coach Podcast. We covered a ton of great topics, like finding the best ways to share your coaching expertise, balancing those different income streams, managing your time like a pro, and creating a coaching framework that's uniquely you. I shared some of my top tips on delegating tasks (because who doesn't need a helping hand?), getting feedback from your clients to see what content really resonates, and scaling your coaching biz to reach new heights. Alyssa also shared her personal journey, opening up about imposter syndrome and the shift from being a stylist to owning her role as a CEO. It was such an inspiring conversation, and I know you'll get so much out of it. So, if you're a coach or thinking about becoming one, definitely check out this episode. And if you want to connect with Alyssa and see the amazing work she's doing, head over to Instagram and follow her @hairandmakeupbyalyssa. Ready to get some personalized coaching?
