Coaching Clinic: scale your business, acquire high ticket clients & master coaching skills

Empowering Coaching Clients With Check-Ins and Simple Metrics Angie discusses how coaches can keep delivering value by sharing experience and, importantly, making clients an active part of the coaching equation. She recommends using simple metrics and regular check-ins—such as quick 0–10 ratings after sessions or structured touchpoints at one-third, two-thirds, and the end of an engagement—to avoid discovering issues at the “11th hour.” Angie suggests asking strategic, rotating questions (e.g., how challenged or empowered the client felt, key takeaways, or preferences for cheerleading vs. tougher probing) and giving clients time to reflect before discussing in the next session. The goal is to ensure clients feel heard, improve coaching effectiveness, clarify what’s working, and end engagements without surprises, while also exploring future focus areas without being salesy. 00:00 Why Experience Matters 00:42 Make Clients Part 02:00 Metrics and Check Ins 03:43 Better Feedback Questions 05:58 Avoid the End But 08:02 Authority Plus Partnership 09:17 Wrap Up and Next Steps 10:23 Send Your QuestionsWant to contact the show?

Coach Energy and Consistency: Handling “That Client,” Emotions, and Authority in SessionsSUMMARYJohn and Angie discuss how coaches manage their energy and consistency across sessions, including whether they show up the same with every client and how reactions to “that client” can signal a coach’s own challenge in navigating difficulty. They explore adapting energy to different clients while still leading the session, and identify a risk point when a coach’s view of a client’s potential becomes clouded by triggers or poor rapport. They cover handling clients who overtalk, ask constant questions, assert disruptive authority, or arrive with strong emotions, using tactics such as slowing down, labelling emotions, asking what the client needs most, and pivoting if the client won’t discuss what’s wrong. They emphasise empathy without being pulled into clients’ emotions, holding space, rescheduling when needed, and building both process and intuition skills.CHAPTERS00:00 Coach Energy Consistency00:59 Show Intro 01:15 Dreading That Client01:58 Roster Energy Management03:41 Why It Feels Hard06:52 Adapt Without Losing Authority09:37 Handling Power Challenges13:00 When Clients Won't Share14:32 Reschedule or Refocus18:42 Empathy Without Absorbing23:06 Warmth and Competence27:23 Process vs Intuition Balance27:48 Wrap Up and Listener CallWant to contact the show?

How Coaches Can Become More Known: Strategic Podcast Guesting, Speaking, and Content SUMMARYJohn opens the Coaching Clinic without Angie, who is busy applying the show’s advice with new clients, and shares key ways coaches can become more known to generate lead flow. He outlines the main pillars: developing clear IP by knowing exactly who you help, then using authority builders like a book, a podcast or a YouTube channel, speaking engagements (often starting locally and for free), and a focused social media channel rather than trying to be everywhere. He emphasises podcast guesting as a low-cost, accessible, and powerful approach when done strategically, noting most pitches are generic, poorly researched, and “spray and pray.” He recommends personalisation, demonstrating familiarity with the show, and proposing valuable conversation topics, and offers the first three free classes of his Strategic Podcast Guesting mini course via show notes or presentinfluence.com or direct from this link: https://app.hiro.fm/channel/podcastguestCHAPTERS00:00 Why Being Known Matters 00:40 Three Pillars Overview 00:57 Books Podcasts Speaking 01:31 Podcast Guesting Advantage 03:20 Social Media Focus 03:41 Do You Need Fame 04:47 Why Pitching Fails 05:54 Strategy Over Spray 07:29 Personalised Pitch Tactics 09:16 Free Guesting Mini Course 10:45 Wrap Up And Next StepsWant to contact the show?

Keeping Coaching Sessions on Track: Handling Clients Who Talk Too Much. SUMMARYJohn & Angie discuss a common coaching challenge: clients or prospects who dominate calls, talk over the coach, and leave no space for productive coaching. They argue that effective coaches must stay in the “driver’s seat” or “pace car,” setting expectations up front that interruptions may occur to prevent unproductive rambling or to pause to address important nuances. They share tactics such as politely interrupting, redirecting, summarising what was said, asking clients to nutshell the point, and helping clients choose the most impactful focus for the session. They emphasise balancing empathy and respect with maintaining control, avoiding laziness or over-talking as a coach, and finishing on time to avoid creating expectations of overruns. When breakthroughs occur near the end, they suggest acknowledging them and carrying the topic into the next session with preparation tasks.

The Business of Coaching: Vision, Strategy, and Avoiding Costly MistakesAngie and John discuss the dos and don’ts of building a coaching business, reflecting on how they started with little guidance and often spent money on marketing and setup that didn’t work. They emphasise creating a clear vision of what “success” looks like (lifestyle solopreneur vs. scaling with staff), understanding finances and time constraints, and following a general progression from one-to-one coaching to groups and then scaling. They warn against getting distracted by non-priorities, overspending without a strategy, and growing too quickly, sharing an example of a startup that scaled fast and had to lay off its team. They critique coaching “job” postings that are actually franchises or MLM-like models, urging due diligence, and stress the value of trustworthy mentorship plus expert advice on legal structure and tax efficiency.CHAPTERS00:00 Business of Coaching01:36 Starting Without a Handbook03:44 Roadmaps and Realities06:50 Vision and Growth Stages11:24 LinkedIn Coaching Schemes13:46 Franchise vs MLM Warning20:05 Scaling Too Fast Lessons25:36 Spend With Strategy27:01 Pay Coaches and Value People30:24 Taxes, Mentors and Wrap UpWant to contact the show?

Prepared Coaching: Notes, Energy, and Being Fully Present with Clients SUMMARY: Angie and John discuss why showing up unprepared to coaching sessions harms client outcomes and rapport, and why “work before the work” matters. They emphasise protecting energy and presence by avoiding back-to-back sessions and building in at least 15 minutes between calls to reset, review prior notes, and track action steps. They argue that coaches who wing sessions without notes or tracking may be adequate but cannot be masterful, and that forgetting prior commitments is a “bad look” that can damage trust, renewals, reputation, and business. They describe notes as a strategic tool that helps clients feel uniquely seen, supports continuity over months or years, and provides a story of the client’s progress when reviewed near the end of an engagement. They also compare manual note-taking with AI note-taking, noting that AI can organise summaries and action steps, while coaches still capture standout moments and edit them before sharing. Finally, they debate recording sessions, suggesting that recordings can help coach development and quality assurance, but may distract clients or pull them back into an old emotional state, while well-structured notes may deliver more value for client reflection and transformation.

Can you coach anyone on anything?It’s a question that sounds simple but exposes some of the deepest tensions in the coaching profession.In this episode of The Coaching Clinic, John and Angie unpack what really sits behind this debate.

Summary: The Role of Feedback in Coaching: Balancing Guidance and Independence. In this solo episode of the Coaching Clinic, Angie dives into the complexities of providing feedback to clients.

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?

They explore the effectiveness of New Year's resolutions, the importance of consistency, and the need for reflection before setting new goals. They emphasise the significance of breaking down larger goals into smaller, manageable steps and the necessity of doing what one loves to maintain motivation. The discussion also touches on the impact of distractions, financial awareness, and the importance of choosing a guiding word for the year ahead.TakeawaysNew Year's resolutions often fail due to unrealistic expectations.Goal setting should not be confined to January 1st; planning can start earlier.Consistency in habits is more important than the end result.Small, incremental goals can lead to larger achievements.Identifying what you love can enhance motivation for goal setting.Reflection on past experiences is crucial for future goal-setting.Choosing a word for the year can provide focus and direction.Managing distractions is essential for maintaining productivity.Financial awareness can help eliminate unnecessary expenses.Conscious choices lead to meaningful changes in life.CHAPTERS00:00 New Year, New Goals: The Conversation Begins03:02 The Philosophy of Goal Setting05:59 The Importance of Consistency and Identity in Goals08:58 Breaking Down Goals: The Power of Small Steps11:58 Finding Joy in Goal Setting: Do What You Love15:05 The Role of Reflection in Goal Setting18:03 Choosing Your Word for the Year20:56 Leaving Behind Distractions and Embracing Peace23:53 The Impact of Awareness on Personal and Professional Goals27:03 Final Thoughts: Change Begins with You36:55 Contact The ShowWant to contact the show?
