The Business of Executive Coaching

In this episode, I’m joined by Kirsty Grace to talk about her transition from financial services into executive and leadership coaching, and the experiences that shaped the work she does today. Kirsty shares how a difficult period during the GFC pushed her to reassess what mattered most and ultimately led her into coaching psychology and organisational development.

Kirsty shares why she is so passionate about working with leaders and teams, and also shares what she’s learned from building her own coaching business, including the value of patience, networking, and staying focused on the bigger picture while growing something sustainable.

What if the reason your business isn’t growing at the rate you want it to isn’t because of anything you are doing or not doing?

It is possible that you are getting in your own way, and in this episode I want to talk about self trust - and how a lack of it might just be holding your business back.
Of course I am sharing some practical tips for what to do if you think this could be you.

Today I’m joined by Sue Bush, and we talk about her journey from a long corporate career into coaching, and the work she now does supporting people stepping into leadership for the first time, or those already in leadership who are wondering what they might be missing.

Sue shares her experience across accounting, technology, and consulting, and how that led her into coaching. We explore the impact on organisations when leaders aren’t well supported, and Sue shares how she is addressing this within her work.

Of course, we also talk about her process of growing her coaching business, including the challenges of working for yourself, learning new skills, and the importance of connection and community.

If you’ve been thinking about community as a “nice to have” rather than a business essential, this episode is for you.

Today I talk about community and its value, not just for friendship or connection, but also for the business benefits that are associated with it. I share how my community of coaches has been hugely pivotal to my business, opening doors and becoming one of the best parts of being in business as an executive coach.

I also talk through how I see the community inside the Corporate to Coach Accelerator helping each other to build bigger and better businesses through accountability, connection, shared experience of the harder parts of business, and celebrating wins, as well as advice, referrals, and partnering opportunities.

If you’ve been wondering how exactly you should announce the starting of your business on LinkedIn, this episode is for you.

I was asked this very specifically this week, and I realised that it was a question that people ask me in lots of different ways so I wanted to capture my thoughts here. Many coaches get a bit hung up on doing this “right,”which usually results in not doing it at all, or perhaps sneaking it in and not capitalising on the business potential that comes with an official launch.

So if you are about to make the leap and make the announcement, or think you might need to re-introduce your business, I hope this is the practical help you need to take action.
