SUMMARYMany coaches do the work, show up consistently, and still wonder why their business feels stuck.In this episode of The Coaching Clinic, John and Angie unpack the often-overlooked principle that coaching businesses grow in direct proportion to what you intentionally plant, not what you hope will happen.Using the simple metaphor of sowing and reaping, the conversation explores why visibility alone does not create momentum, why being busy is not the same as being strategic, and why many coaches accidentally dilute their brand by trying to do too much, too early.You will hear a grounded discussion on:Why clients cannot buy from you if they do not know what you stand forThe difference between foundational work and high-level activities like podcasts, books, and speakingWhy referrals dry up without a system that keeps you visible and memorableHow clarity of audience, message, and platform choice drives sustainable growthThe danger of chasing tactics without a clear strategy behind themThis episode is especially relevant if you feel like you are working hard but not gaining traction, or if your coaching business relies too heavily on referrals, hope, or inconsistent visibility.Rather than offering hacks or quick wins, John and Angie focus on building a business that compounds over time, with clearer positioning, intentional action, and fewer wasted efforts.If you want a coaching business that feeds you consistently, not sporadically, this episode will help you rethink what you are planting and why.CHAPTERS00:00 The Concept of Branding in Coaching04:19 Building a Strong Foundation for Growth09:41 The Importance of Clarity and Specificity14:45 Creating Memorable Connections18:43 Choosing the Right Social Media Strategy20:18 Contact the showWant to contact the show?

Building a Strong Coaching BrandSUMMARYIf your coaching or speaking business feels stuck, there’s a good chance the problem is not your skill. It’s your brand clarity.In this episode, John and Angie break down how coaches and speakers accidentally dilute their authority by trying to be “all things to all people”, taking random collaborations, chasing visibility without strategy, and constantly changing direction. The result: mixed messaging, weak positioning, and an audience that cannot tell what you stand for, or who you actually help.You’ll hear why associations matter (who you work with becomes part of your reputation), why “being busy” is not a growth plan, and how to make smarter decisions about podcast guesting, content, and partnerships without drifting into brand confusion. They also unpack the difference between experimenting to find your voice versus restarting your momentum every time you panic.If you want more traction, clearer positioning, and a brand that makes the right clients think “this is for me”, this episode will help you tighten the message and stop leaking credibility.Chapters00:00 Defining Your Coaching Brand03:13 The Importance of Associations06:18 Intentional Branding and Message Clarity09:04 Strategic Collaboration and Momentum12:13 The Role of Strategy in Branding14:57 Building Audience Connection and Clarity20:30 Identifying Pain Points and Audience Engagement23:01 Finding Your Voice and Clarity in Messaging24:20 Overcoming Desperation in Business Strategies26:04 The Ineffectiveness of Cold Outreach30:00 Building Trust and Brand Awareness32:10 The Importance of Transparency in Selling36:20 Collaborating with Competitors for Growth38:55 Branding and Its Impact on Business Success41:14 TCC outro.mp3Want to contact the show?
