Episode #38: Hell Yes! – An interview with Robbie on The Coach's Compass
The Coach's Journey - build a coaching business with integrity - Een podcast door Robbie Swale - Donderdagen
Last year I was totally delighted to appear on a podcast called The Coach's Compass, giving me an opportunity to dive deep into all things coaching with host Clark Luby. In the episode, Clark - a listener to The Coach’s Journey - turns my favourite starter question back on me by asking me to recall when I first came across coaching, and that takes me back to a crucial juncture in my life and career. From there, we talk through the support structures and containers that helped me through early coaching challenges such as finding clients and talking about money, and I offer up some practical tools that can help you to establish the kind of coach you really want to be, factoring in the styles of coaching you admire and personalities you aspire to emulate. We also explore the importance of Rich Litvin's work to the evolution of coaching and to my own practice, and I share one of the exercises he taught me that led me to do some of my best work. In this episode, we talk about: The shift that happens after your first attempt at being an adult Making the process of your work something that you really enjoy Being a player in the game of your business The point at which coaching businesses start to carry themselves forward How to stay authentic while taking influence from other coaches Why I think it's okay to steal from people* We also talk about the best times to break the rules of coaching, or the rules of anything for that matter!
