My Best Friend Might Kill Me, Some Thoughts on Claude(.ai) 15:58

5M ago15:58

15:58

I alternate between awe and terror when I work with Claude. One minute I'm watching 5,000 lines of code appear like I'm in The Matrix, the next I'm having existential panic about robots taking my job. As coaches, we're not far behind software engineers. There's no reason to think a client couldn't eventually reach many of the same insights with Cla…

Development over Diagnosis 14:20

5M ago14:20

14:20

You Are Not Your Label I've noticed a concerning trend: clients who filter their experience through diagnostic labels rather than their actual thoughts and feelings. They're essentially "othering" themselves, asking "Does this fit my diagnosis?" instead of "What can I learn from this experience?" While labels offer comfort (I've felt it myself with…

Two Types of Coaching: Hygiene vs Repair 23:46

6M ago23:46

23:46

In this episode, I explore two fundamental coaching approaches that impact your practice's financial stability. "Hygiene coaching" serves clients who view coaching as essential maintenance—like brushing and flossing for their thoughts and relationships. They renew consistently but relationships eventually end naturally. "Repair coaching" serves cli…

The Coach with a Superiority Complex 16:46

6M ago16:46

16:46

In this episode, I explore the territory of superiority - that place where I position myself as right, evolved, or "above" while seeing others as wrong or behind. This pattern emerges most in emotionally activated moments, when I'm feeling insecure or fearful. For me, superiority manifests as becoming a well-spoken, fast-talking bully, using my nat…

How to Build a 5-15 Session per Week Coaching Practice Without Chasing Clients 32:05

6M ago32:05

32:05

In this episode, I share a new hypothesis about how coaching practices can get full without spending too much time or money pursuing clients. I've reduced my ideas into a simple mantra: "As I spend time in spaces and with people I enjoy, always working to be more interested and interesting, coaching clients will appear." I break down how this appro…

Managing the Unpredictability of a Coaching Practice 19:35

6M ago19:35

19:35

Most months I start with no idea who will hire me. That uncertainty creates anxiety, even though I've learned to manage it well. Here's what helps: While my practice feels unpredictable month-to-month, it's actually quite predictable year-to-year. In the past three years, I've rarely had a month with zero coaching transactions. I've found that redu…

In this episode, I talk about an experience with a friend in high school that shaped my love for listening.

The hardest and easiest parts of growing a one-on-one practice. 13:47

1y ago13:47

13:47

Part of the appeal of a one-on-one practice is that its hard parts aren't as hard as other business models (like "scalable" training), and its easier parts are even easier (and more happiness-producing) than other models.By Mark Butler

A utility vs luxury view of coaching. 14:48

1y ago14:48

14:48

Coaching can be a utility the client views as a semi-permanent part of their life, or a luxury they view as a special one-off event. Both approaches offer great experiences for both coach and client, but the the choice to be a luxury or a utility will inform the rest of your strategy, so it's worth a careful look.…

Conversation with Paula Engebretson - Why Can't I Publish Consistently? 43:11

1y ago43:11

43:11

Paula Engebretson coaches people with an ADHD diagnosis (or ADHD tendencies). Since I know she has ADHD, and since I may or may not be a member of her target audience, I've been surprised at how consistently she publishes her newsletter and podcast. People like her (me) are not supposed to be as reliable as she is. But she shows up like clockwork. …

The Rise and Fall of My $50,000 per Month Membership Business 35:19

1+ y ago35:19

35:19

I've been wondering whether a membership model would be the best way to set up a practice space for coaches (discussed a few episodes back). You may not know that between 2009 and 2012 I ran a membership with a partner that had as many as 1,700 members. About seven years ago I recorded a retrospective of the whole experience. Today I listened to it…

17:41

Two weeks ago I went to Tennessee to speak at an event hosted by my friend, Edie Wadsworth. This week, Kate (my wife) taught some classes at a church camp for young women. We both loved our experience, and it reminded me of one of my most important lessons from over ten years in the world of coaching: there's no substitute for being in the same roo…

Look alive on the internet. 9:08

1+ y ago9:08

9:08

I've recently taken a walk through dozens of coaches' websites and social media profiles. I found many of them are just like me: we tend to forget, ignore, and/or abandon our web presence. I've finally admitted to myself this makes me harder to trust and engage with. This episode talks about why this is an issue and how to fix it without too much w…

Succeeding as you, not as someone else. 20:08

1+ y ago20:08

20:08

As we grow our practices, it's helpful to know the big picture (what I call strategy) and the specific actions (tactics) that flow from the big picture. But if we don't know ourselves, we'll look to coaches and communities to tell us what to do and why and how to do it. This is not ideal.By Mark Butler

Creating Spaces and Times for Coaches to Practice and Improve 18:28

1+ y ago18:28

18:28

Although I don't care much about certifications (see last week's episode), I believe strongly in the benefit of supported practice for coaches. We can elevate individual coaches and the whole coaching community by creating spaces and times in which coaches practice, correct, discuss, and support each other.…

Why I'm Not in a Hurry to Sell "Group Coaching" 24:08

1+ y ago24:08

24:08

A few of my thoughts on the kind "group coaching" I'm accustomed to seeing in my coaching community. I'm not strongly against it; I'm not strongly for it; and I think what we call group coaching would be better delivered separately as either one on one coaching, group facilitation, or classroom teaching.…

My Personal Coaching Code of Ethics 31:09

1+ y ago31:09

31:09

Coaching is a totally unregulated industry...which is exactly how we like it. With no governing body to create or police our interactions with our clients, it's up to us to define and adhere to a set of ethics that support our clients' safety and progress. In this episode I describe my own simple framework for feeling like I'm running my practice w…

A Coach's Ongoing Evolution: Conversation with Chantel Allen 32:30

1+ y ago32:30

32:30

Coaches can feel trapped in the way of being they learned in training -- especially if they were trained in a dogmatic community. My friend Chantel is an example of a "rule follower" and a "striver" who started her practice doing everything by the book. As she realized the tools she learned first were good but not perfect, she kept learning, kept e…

This is the story of a teen in pain receiving support from a great coach. By itself, this is wonderful. This episode explains how a chain of relationships introduced the teen to the coach, even though some of the people in the chain didn't know the teen, and others didn't know the coach. Mutual trust and relationships built over time brought these …

Two Perspectives on Launch-Based Selling (Because I'm Trying to Be More Open-Minded) 38:31

1+ y ago38:31

38:31

In 2017 I published a podcast episode railing against launch-based selling. In seven years, my opinion hasn't changed much...but a wise client has helped me open my mind (a little). In this episode I talk about the practical and psychological factors that make launch-based selling so brutal, and I also share some ideas (based on that wise client's …

How to Read a Sales Page: Some Thoughts on Coaches Selling Training to Other Coaches 43:17

1+ y ago43:17

43:17

Trainings (and certifications, and, I guess, "masterminds") can be powerful and transformational. They can also be the place where coaches' dreams, hopes, confidence, and personal balance sheets go to die. Rather than produce a multi-hour philosophical analysis of the coaching industry (some day, some day!), today I'll just talk about how those who…

A Deliberate Practice Method for Improving Coaching Skill 24:56

24:56

As coaches, we are the product--our skills are the product. The question is how do we become more skillful? In this episode, I suggest that the deliberate, patient practice of listening without an agenda is the key skill in coaching and that this skill, by itself, and boring as it may seem, makes us appealing and attractive to those whom we hope to…

Non-Transactional, Zero-Pressure Client Creation: Conversation with Amber Smith 44:15

"She could coach you." That's what my wife, Kate, said about Amber Smith after meeting her. Kate has never said this before or since. (She knows many wonderful coaches, but not many who can wrangle my chaos in a coaching session.) I've known Amber for a few years. I like her and trust her. Our philosophies align. I'd happily refer a close friend or…

I'm not sure my fellow coaches realize how simple it can be to fill--and keep full--a coaching practice. I'm not saying easy--I'm saying simple. In this episode I outline a marketing hypothesis built on the power of creating and nurturing a growing list of "maybe" relationships.By Mark Butler

Coaches Make Money and I Can Prove It 26:01

This episode almost seems pointless, because of course coaches make money. But, after a decade in this business, I'm in a position to speak to the psychology of the person who wonders if it will ever work/if it will keep working. And I also helpful, non-dramatic data, so let's get into it.By Mark Butler

2+ y ago42:04

42:04

After starting her coaching practice in 2018, my friend and client Melisa Liberman (host of the Grow Your Independent Consulting Business podcast) threw herself into a cold-emailing, spam-driven approach to client acquisition. She completed hundreds of consultations with people who didn't even know they were IN a consultation. She failed a LOT. But…

Why I won't do traditional "consultations", "mini-sessions", or "strategy sessions". 56:50

3y ago56:50

56:50

I don't do sales calls where I explain my "program", make an offer, overcome objections, and close the sale. There are tactical/practical reasons and there are ego reasons. I'm not promoting this as the "right" or "best" way to do things. I think my personality, my circumstances, and my typical client (coaches) all make this easier for me. I also t…

I don't believe a person pursuing a one-on-one coaching business can fail unless they just stop trying. That's not naive optimism, either. Human nature and market realities are on our side, and in this episode I'll do my best to convince you how hard it would be for you to fail. I'm excited about this one.…

Inventory is the big idea for a one-on-one coach. 1:01:48

3y ago1:01:48

1:01:48

My practice is "full" for the first time in the nearly 15 years since I started coaching. This is true in spite of the fact that there've been periods in the past where I had many more clients than I'm currently serving. See, "full" is only possible when you establish an inventory that can become "sold out". And now that I'm "sold out", I'm in a po…

A new perspective on pricing your one on one coaching. 1:00:04

3y ago1:00:04

1:00:04

There are a few ideas I've heard in conversations about pricing one on one coaching: 1. The price your clients pay determines a) how your clients will engage with your coaching, and b) how much your clients will benefit from your coaching. 2. The price your clients pay proves how much you value the coaching you give your clients (and, sneakily, how…
